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

F)break N)raise
G)acceptable O)finishing
H)graduating [br] 【C8】
选项
答案
L
解析
分析该句的句子结构可以推断出空格处应为动词的过去分词,作“a narrow curriculum”的后置定语。该分句大意是“通过要求老师按照指定的大纲授课,确保学生都通过水平测试”。由此可知,“确保学生都通过水平测试”是实施该项法律的主要目的。备选项中只有“targeted”有“定向的,被定为目标的”之意,而且be targeted at是固定用法,意为“以……为目标的”,故答案选L。
