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 not- ed 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".

Such accountability was not present in the government schools, and "this contrast is 【C20】______ with crystal clarity by vast majority of parents."  [br] 【C7】
选项 A、desolate
B、bleak
C、ingenious
D、delicate
答案 B
解析 根据第38题的分析，可知研究者们为政府学校的不良运转描绘了一幅悲凉的、毫无希望的图画，故选B bleak“荒凉的，无望的”为答案。A desolate为强干扰项，虽有“荒凉”之意，但并无“无望的”的含义。
