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.
(2)
选项 A、important
B、inadequate
C、intricate
D、impractical
答案B
解析 语义线索题。这句话后半部分提到，许多教师控制范围之外的因素都会影响学生的表现，可见测试成绩不足以代表水平高低，所以选B项，inadequate“不充分的，不足的，不够好的”。
