　　37. failing

　　38. essential

　　解析：此处需要形容词，注意双写s和词尾tial。essential意为“基本的”。

　　39. awareness

　　解析：此处需要名词，拼写时注意结尾双写s。awareness表示“意识，认识”。

　　40. fluency

　　41. released

　　解析：根据后面的by可知，此处要用动词的被动语态，注意结尾应加ed。release在此处意为“公开发表，公布”。

　　42. gathered

　　画龙点睛：此句重点要表达的是最后的earned a 'failing' grade， 即被选入参与项目的有代表性的学校中，几乎全部都得到一个不合格的分数，可直接用动词fail替换。

　　45. Those elements were identified as necessary for effective reading instruction

　　听音关键：elements, identified, necessary, effective, instruction

　　答案重构：Those elements proved to be necessary for effective reading instruction

　　画龙点睛：be identified as意为“结果是，证明是”，可用更为经常使用的prove to替换。

　　听音关键：driving force, state and federal, initiatives, raising, achievement
