    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.
(12)

选项 A、leaders
B、friends
C、peers
D、comrades

答案C

解析 语义线索题。这句话把效率高和效率低的老师进行对比。所以空格要填的名次要与前面的some teachers(“某些老师”)一词相呼应。所以选peers“(地位、能力等)同等的人,同辈,同事”。
