A common assumption about the private sector of education is that it caters only to the elite. 【C1】______ , recent research points in the opposite direction. If we want to help some of most【C2】______ group in society, then encouraging deeper private sector【C3】______ is likely to be the best way forward.
Several developments are【C4】______ in India, all of which involve the private education sector meeting the needs of the poor in distinct ways. But India is not【C5】______ in this respect—similar phenomena are happening all over the developing world.
As a point of【C6】______ how do government schools serve the poor? Usefully, the government sponsored Public Report on Basic Education in India from 1999 paints a very【C7】______ picture of the "【C8】______ "of the government schools for the poor. When researchers【C9】______ unannounced on their random【C10】______ of the schools, only 53% had any "teaching activity" going on. Alarmingly, the team noted that the【C11】______ of teaching standards has nothing to do【C12】______ disempowered teachers, but instead could be【C13】______ "plain negligence". They noted "several cases of irresponsible teachers keeping a school closed for months at a time".
But is there any【C14】______ to these schools? Surely no one else can do better than government【C15】______ the resources available? As it happens, the Report pointed to private schools that were serving the poor and【C16】______ that such problems were not found in these schools. Most parents believed that private schools were successful【C17】______ they were more accountable: "the teachers are accountable to the manager who can fire them, and,【C18】______ him or her, to the parents who can【C19】______ their children." Such accountability was not present in the government schools, and "this contrast is【C20】______ with crystal clarity by vast majority of parents.
【C7】
选项
A、desolate
B、bleak
C、ingenious
D、delicate
答案
B
解析
语义衔接题。根据上下文推测,政府调查为政府学校的不良运转描绘了一幅悲凉、毫无希望的图画,所以选bleak“荒凉的,没有希望的”。其他选项不符合句意:desolate,荒凉的,无人烟的;ingenious,机灵的,有独创性的,精制的,具有创造才能的;delicate,精巧的,精致的,病弱的,脆弱的。
