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
【S4】
选项
答案
D
解析
从空格后的数字from 77 to 97可以看出平均每个教师的注册学生人数上升了,而列表中只有 [E]increasing和D rose表示上升的概念。再分析本句的结构可知,空格处应为渭晤动词,故只能选rose。
