Sometimes, what looks like improved efficiency in post-secondary education is really falling quality. If we want our children to be competitive in the knowledge-based, global economy it is important to be able to tell the【S1】______.
Consider undergraduate education at the University of Alberta. The U of A is teaching a lot more undergraduates than it did 10 years ago -- With a lot【S2】______teachers. Is this improved efficiency or falling quality?
In 1992 -1993, 709 full-time instructors in the Arts and Science faculties taught 54,379 full year course registrations. In 2002 -2003, the number of registrations had grown to 60,512 while the number of instructors【S3】______to 623. Thus, the average number of course registrations per instructor【S4】______from 77 to 97, translating into a rise in average class size of about 27 per cent.
Do growing class sizes in universities result in【S5】______quality? Unlike primary and secondary schools, universities don’t have standardized test【S6】______to compare across provinces or countries. In addition, while students can make their own comparisons of quality across courses, they have no way of【S7】______whether quality is changing over time.
Examining changes in methods of instruction can give an indirect【S8】______of changes in quality. Today, first-year economics is【S9】______taught to classes of 400 students and all exams are based on computer-graded multiple-choice questions. In the past, classes of less than 100 were the【S10】______and students had the opportunity to write short essay answers as part of their evaluation.
[A] fewer [F] measure [K] judging
[B] declining [G] results [L] rarely
[C] norm [H] better [M] fell
[D] rose [I] usually [N] exams
[E] increasing [J] difficulty [O] difference
【S10】
选项
答案
C
解析
分析句子可知,所填词应能被the修饰,作表语。而根据本句中的Today和下一句中的In the past看出两句是对比关系,现在应该大多都是400人的班,因此过去每班不到100人才是正常的,同时根据后面的students had the opportunity to write short essay answers看出,只有人数少,学生才有机会写短文让教师评估,因此选norm。
