问题     Of all the goals of the education reform movement, none is more difficult than developing an objective method to assess teachers. Studies show that over time, test scores do not provide a (1)______ means of separating good from bad instructors.
    Test scores are an(2)______ indicator of quality because too many factors outside of the teachers’ control can influence student(3)______ from year to year—or even from classroom to classroom during the same year. Often, more than half of those teachers (4)______ as the poorest performers one year will be judged average or above average the next, and the results are(5)______ as bad for teachers with (6)______ classes during the same year.
     (7)______, there’s a far more direct approach: measuring the amount of (8)______ a teacher spends delivering relevant instruction—(9)______, how much teaching a teacher actually gets done in a school day.
    This is hardly a new(10)______. Thirty years ago two studies using this approach found that some teachers were able to deliver(11)______ 14 more weeks a year of relevant instruction than their less efficient(12)______.
    There was no(13)______ to their success: it was obvious that the efficient teachers(14)______ strictly to the curriculum, maintained stern discipline and(15)______ non-instructional activities, like(16)______ unessential classroom business when they(17)______ focused on the curriculum.
    And both studies found that the teachers who(18)______ more were also the teachers who(19)______ students who performed well on(20)______ tests.

选项 A、identified
B、recognized
C、regarded
D、counted

答案A

解析 短语搭配题。本文第一段提到,有一种用于评估老师的所谓客观方法,即用学生的测试分数来区分好老师和差老师。所以此处要填的是一个过去分词,用于说明有些老师被评估为表现最差的人,所以选A项,identify sb.as“确认、证明某人[某事物];鉴别出(系某人或某物)”。regard sb.as表示“将某人视为.认为某人是”和count sb.as“认为”,但此处评估老师所使用的是所谓客观方法,不是主观看法,所以可排除C和D项;recognize sb.as“承认,认可”,属于比较正式的认证行为,不符合此处的语境。
