One educator named Dori Roberts decided to do something to change this system. Dori taught high school engineering for 11 years. She noticed there was a real void in quality STEM education at all【C2】______ of the public educational system. She said, "I started Engineering For Kids (EFK) after noticing a real lack of math, science and engineering programs to【C3】______ my own kids in."

Sales have doubled from $ 5 million in 2014 to $ 10 million in 2015, with 25 new branches planned for 2016. The EFK website states, "Our nation is not【C9】______ enough engineers.

B) career J) graduating
C) championships K) interest
D) degrees L) levels
E) developing M) local
F) enroll N) operates
G) exposure O) participated H) feasible [br] 【C7】
选项
答案 M
解析 形容词辨析题。本空位于名词词组recreation centers之前，应填入形容词作定语。本段在介绍EFK的发展过程。本句提到，多丽一开始在弗吉尼亚州自己的家里运营EFK，而后扩展到娱乐中心。而下一句提到，EFK课程遍及美国32个州及全球21个国家。根据事物由小变大的发展规律，EFK应该是先在当地发展起来，再扩展到其他州，乃至其他国家，因此空格处应填入含有“本地”意义的形容词，故答案为M)local“当地的，局部的”。
