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.

选项 A、language
B、intelligence
C、written
D、standardized

答案D

解析 语义线索题。在第一段和第二段都提到了学生在测验中的表现,但没有具体说明是什么类型的考试。但这种可以用于衡量学生学习能力和老师教学能力的考试,应该是所谓的“标准化测试”,即各种类型的考试的总称,所以选standardized“标准化的”。
