问题     To stay economically competitive on a global scale, the United States needs 8 million more college graduates【C1】______2020.

    【C8】______the 34 OECD countries, 【C9】______ 26percent of the total 255 million college-educated【C10】______between the ages of 25 and 64 come from the United States. China comes in a distant second at 12. 1 percent and Japan is a【C11】______third at 11.4 percent.
    Globalprosperity(繁荣)won’t increase if only three nations【C12】______higher education output, so it’s exciting to see that the number of students【C13】______to college increased 25 percent across all OECD countries【C14】______1995 and 2012. If that【C15】______continues, 59 percent of young adults in those countries will go on to college,【C16】______19 percent will enter vocational programs over their lifetimes.
    The number of students who actually graduate【C17】______college has increased as well. In 2012, an average of 39 percent of students in OECD nations【C18】______college, up from 20 percent in 1995. Since college dropouts【C19】______the U. S. economy billions of dollars every year, an international increase in graduation【C20】______is good news for the entire planet.
【C11】
选项 A、close
B、counter
C、further
D、forward
