问题       A common assumption about the private sector of education is that it caters only to the elite.  【C1】______ , recent research points in the opposite direction. If we want to help some of most【C2】______ group in society, then encouraging deeper private sector【C3】______ is likely to be the best way forward.
      Several developments are【C4】______  in India, all of which involve the private education sector meeting the needs of the poor in distinct ways. But India is not【C5】______ in this respect—similar phenomena are happening all over the developing world.
      As a point of【C6】______  how do government schools serve the poor? Usefully, the government sponsored Public Report on Basic Education in India from 1999 paints a very【C7】______ picture of the "【C8】______ "of the government schools for the poor. When researchers【C9】______ unannounced on their random【C10】______   of the schools,  only 53% had any "teaching activity" going on. Alarmingly, the team noted that the【C11】______ of teaching standards has nothing to do【C12】______  disempowered teachers, but instead could be【C13】______ "plain negligence". They noted "several cases of irresponsible teachers keeping a school closed for months at a time".
     But is there any【C14】______ to these schools? Surely no one else can do better than government【C15】______ the resources available? As it happens, the Report pointed to private schools that were serving the poor and【C16】______ that such problems were not found in these schools. Most parents believed that private schools were successful【C17】______ they were more accountable: "the teachers are accountable to the manager who can fire them, and,【C18】______ him or her, to the parents who can【C19】______ their children." Such accountability was not present in the government schools, and "this contrast is【C20】______ with crystal clarity by vast majority of parents.
【C14】
选项 A、alternative
B、option
C、substitute
D、preference
答案A
解析 语义衔接题。本句是过渡句，在讲述政府学校的问题后，作者反问是否还有其他选择，进而过渡到本段，主要说明私立学校的好处。这样，选择A alternative“可供选择的办法，事物”就最符合文意。B  option，选择行为，选择权(与of连用)以及C substitute，代用品，代替者，替代品(与for连用)，在语法上不正确；D preference，偏爱，在句意上不合适。
