21.
“thus”表示结果,前面说创造一个学习替代死记硬背的环境,那么结果就是“塑造”对知识的渴望,“fashioning”有“塑造”之意,所以填“fashioning”。
22.
“both...and...”连接两个并列的情况,与“ordinary(普通的)”相对应的应该是“极端的”情况,“extreme”符合要求,因此填“extreme”。

26.
“keep pace with”是固定短语,意为“与……保持同步”,这里说教育要跟上不断发展的能力,所以填“pace”。
27.
教育应该是一个能根据每个学生的需求“个性化”学习的平台,“personalizes”表示“使个性化”,符合文意,因此填“personalizes”。
