A "national crisis" in teacher numbers is coming, six unions representing teachers and school leaders in England and Wales have warned.
    Government limits to teachers’ pay and "real terms cuts" to school budgets risk weakening standards, they warn. The joint statement warns that further pressure will be placed on teacher employment and ownership. This means more children will be taught by teachers who are not specialist in the subjects they teach, it adds.
    "The government must fully fund the necessary pay increases for teachers and school leaders in both England and Wales," said Mary Bousted, general secretary of the Association of Teachers and Lecturers, and she claimed 160,000 more teachers would be needed over three years to cope with a rapid increase in pupil numbers. She also urged the government to reconsider its pay policies "for the sake of our children and young people and the education system as a whole".
3 What does "national crisis" refer to in the news report?
4 What did Mary Bousted urge the government to do?

选项 A、It will be hard to hire enough qualified teachers.
B、British government will decide to cut down educational fund.
C、More and more students will not be qualified for graduation.
D、Teachers’ pay will be restricted in England and Wales only.

答案 A

解析 题目询问新闻中的“国家危机”具体指什么。新闻开篇就说这个危机是在教师数量上(in teacher numbers),之后作具体说明:聘用新教师和留任现有教师的压力更大,这意味某些科目可能会由非专长的教师授课。总结来说就是专业对口的教师数量不足,A“非常难聘请到足够的合格教师任教”与新闻内容相符,为本题答案。
