Young people in the United States are falling behind their overseas peers in reading, math 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. "So we have to【C3】______our standards. "
With the 2012 campaign for the U. S. 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 standardized 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 next November’ s vote. "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) flaws I) criticized
B) conversely J) loosening
C) necessity K) campaign
D) undeniable L) targeted
E) increasingly M) accountable
F) break N) raise
G) acceptable O) finishing
H) graduating [br] 【C1】
选项
答案
O
解析
分析该句的句子结构可以推断出空格处应为动词ing形式。由and引导的并列句“只有极少数年轻人拿到了大学学位”可以推断出前一句应该是说有1/4的美国学生没有完成高中学业。备选项中只有finishing意为“完成,做好”且为动词的ing形式,故答案选O。
