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【C5】______of the poor in distinct ways.【C6】______India is not unique in this respect similar phenomena are happening all over the developing world.
    As a point of departure, 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 sample of the schools, only 53% had any "teaching activity" going on.【C10】______, 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【C14】______a school closed for months at a time".
    But is there any【C15】______to these schools? Surely no one else can do better than government【C16】______the resources available? As it happens, the Report pointed to private schools that were serving the poor and【C17】______that such problems were not found in these schools. Most parents believed that private schools were successful because they were more accountable:" the teachers are accountable to the manager who can fire them, and,【C18】______him or her, to the【C19】______who can withdraw their children. " Such accountability was not present in the government schools, and "this contrast is【C20】______with crystal clarity by vast majority of parents". [br] 【C4】

选项 A、ongoing
B、outgoing
C、preceding
D、underway

答案 D

解析 空格后面的定语从句提到“所有的这些发展项目都以不同的方式参与了设立针对穷人需要的私立教育部门”,由此可知主句的意思应为:印度正在进行几个开发项目,故[D]underway“起步的,进行中的”(通常作表语)为答案。[A]ongoing为强干扰项,虽然与underway意思相近,但它通常作定语。
