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.

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。
