Just seven years ago, the Texas Legislature prescribed that all high schoolers must pass two math courses and geometry to graduate. This summer, the state reversed course, easing its【C1】________math, science, and social-studies requirements to【C2】________class time for job training.
Texas legislators want to create a more【C3】________system that helps students who aren’t headed to four-year colleges enter the workforce. But that【C4】________carries some risks.【C5】________it’s true that not all students will go on to college, pulling back on college preparatory coursework has to be【C6】________carefully in a state like Texas, with its hundreds of thousands of low-income and【C7】________students. They’re the students who would benefit from college the most.
New laws in Texas, as well as in Florida, de-emphasize the math class required for【C8】________to four-year colleges. Knowledge of these subjects is considered an indicator of college readiness【C9】________the Common Core standards, which have been【C10】________by 45 states, including Florida.
More than half of public-school students in both states are nonwhite and from low-income families. It’s particularly【C11】________that these Hispanic and African-American students leave high school qualified to further their e-ducation—【C12】________they don’t plan on doing so right away. A college【C13】________is the most important driver of social mobility. By 2020, 65 percent of all jobs will require some kind of postsecondary education according to surveys.
【C14】________speaking, Texas’s earlier college-prep course-work recommendations didn’t fit reality.【C15】________the high bar, only about half of the state’s high school graduates immediately headed off to college of any kind. "We wanted to give students and parents more flexibility, to not only be college-prepared—which I think we’re doing a pretty good job of—but perhaps to【C16】________that preparation to folks who may not be going to college," Representative Jimmie Don Aycock, who【C17】________the Texas House’s Public Education Committee, says of the revision. The goal isn’t to dumb down the curriculum, he says, but to let kids【C18】________a path that might not have been【C19】________ to them before. The state’s educational system still rewards schools when students【C20】________college readiness.
【C10】
选项
A、exploited
B、cultivated
C、confirmed
D、adopted
答案
D
解析
空格处于非限制性定语从句中,which指代逗号前的standards。这一标准是多个州之间的统一标准,即被多个州执行和采用。D项adopted意为“采用;接受”,符合语义要求。standards(标准)应该是被采用,而不是“开发;利用”(A项exploited)、“培养”(B项cultivated)或“证实”(C项confirmed),根据选项意思可以排除干扰。
