Today, California’s public schools are a disaster.【C1】______by dysfunction and disrepair, they rank at the bottom of the country, just as the U.S. now sits at the bottom of the industrialized world by most【C2】______of educational achievement. The World Economic Forum【C3】______the U.S.’s educational system 26th in the world,【C4】______behind those countries like Germany, Finland,【C5】______Demark, Canada and Singapore.

选项
A、reinforced
B、eliminated
C、stagnated
D、accelerated
答案
C
解析
语义衔接题。根据上文中提到“美国教育失败”可知,由此会引起负面结果,这里谈到的是美国工人的平均工资停滞不前。reinforce和accelerate分别表示“加强”和“加速”,与文章意思相反;eliminate表示“除去”,不合文意;stagnate表示“停滞,不景气”,所以选C。
