Young people in the United States are falling behind their overseas peers in reading, maths and science, President Barack Obama said on Saturday, calling education reform an essential part of economic recovery.
In his weekly radio and video address, Obama said as many as a quarter of American students are not【C1】______high school and far too few young people are getting college degrees.
"It is an【C2】______fact that countries who out-educate us today will out-compete us tomorrow. Businesses will hire wherever the highly skilled, highly trained workers are located," the Democrat said. "We have to【C3】______up our game and raise our standards."
With the 2012 campaign for the US presidency heating up, Obama is speaking【C4】______often about education, a key issue for his political base.
His $447 billion job creation plan includes money for hiring teachers and school repairs, and on Friday he announced a【C5】______of "No Child Left Behind", a decade-old education measure introduced by former President George W. Bush that seeks to hold schools【C6】______for students’ performance.
"No Child" has been widely【C7】______for being inflexible, requiring teachers to adhere to a narrow curriculum【C8】______mostly at ensuring that students pass standardised tests.
"Experience has taught us that the law has some serious【C9】______that are hurting our children instead of helping them," Obama said, making plain that education will be one of his key【C10】______issues into the vote in 2012.
"These problems have been obvious to parents and educators all over this country for years. But for years, Congress has failed to fix them. So now, I will," he said.
A)loosening I)undeniable
B)criticised J)targeted
C)campaign K)flaws
D)conversely L)accountable
E)necessity M)pick
F)graduating N)acceptable
G)break O)finishing
H)increasingly [br] 【C4】
选项
答案
H
解析
该句子主谓宾完整,需要一个和often一起修饰speaking的副词。空格所在句的前半句提到,随着2012年总统竞选活动的不断升温,及空格后提到的教育问题是奥巴马政治基础的一个重要议题,由这两点可知,奥巴马应是越来越频繁地谈论教育才符合文意,故答案为H)increasingly。
