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.

【C3】
选项
答案
N
解析
分析该句的句子结构可以推断出空格处应为动词原形。上文提到美国的教育状况现在正逐渐落后于其他国家,而且民主党人也意识到如果其他国家在教育上超过美国,那有朝一日就会在竞争中胜过美国。由此可推断,民主党认为美国不得不提升自己的教育水平。备选项中只有raise有“提高,提升”之意且为动词原形,故答案选N。
