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.
【C3】
选项 A、encouragement
B、intercourse
C、investment
D、involvement
答案D
解析 语义衔接题。此句用来陈述主题，既然作者说近来的报告表明私立教育部门不只是用来满足精英人才需要的，那么可以推测他的观点是应该鼓励私立机构参与对贫困阶层的服务，所以选involvement“参与，牵涉，卷入”。A  engagement，约会，婚约；B intercourse，交往，交流；C  investment，投资。
