【句子解析】
第一句:
the result is a viciousspiral:schoolsthat have a series of below-good ofstedgradestend to have higher teacher turnover,which in turn makes it more difficult for school leaders to turn standards around.
参考译文:结果是一个恶性循环:一系列评分都低于教育标准办的“优”级的学校往往教师流动率更高,反过来又令学校领导更难改善评级。

第二句:
disadvantaged schools suffer the most,leaving the remaining teachersto take on classes outside their specialism.
参考译文:弱势学校受影响最大,剩下的老师不得不承担自己专业以外的课程。

第三句:
one solution would be replacingthe current system of ratingswith a more nuanced range of indicators,providing parents with information without penalising schools.
参考译文:一种解决方案是用更细微的指标来取代当前的评级系统,在不惩罚学校的情况下为家长提供信息。

【答案及解析】
according to the author, ofsted grades__.
a. lead to serious student burnout

b.make school struggle all the more
(让学校挣扎得更厉害)
c. punish incompetent school leaders
(惩罚不称职的学校领导)
d. have a nuanced range of indicators
(有一个细微的指标范围)

答案选b。
第一句话中的恶性循环需要看懂,第一句话其实就是说“一个地方评级越低,好的老师越想要离开,好的老师越要离开,这里的评级就越低。” 这种恶性循环会导致学校挣扎。

a选项,没有提到。
c选项,没有提到。
d选项,不是说这个评级由细微的指标,而是说要用一个更加细微的指标来代替现在这种不合理的评级。

【文章背景】
用更少的资源做更多的事。这是英国政府自2010年以来对各个公共领域雇员的期待。在教育界,这等同于停滞不前的工资水平和无以为继的巨大工作量,以及教育标准办惩戒性的督察流程——它在教师们身上施加巨大压力,并能够靠一个评判就让学校败得一塌糊涂。许多人正在离开教师行业:自新冠疫情以来,英国的教师空缺几乎达到之前的两倍。这种趋势的影响是,教师们被迫教更多的课程,甚至是承担专业之外的科目。这种去专业化会对学生的学习成果带来消极的影响。要让更多优秀的年轻人愿意当老师,让更多的现职教师留在岗位上,最显而易见的解法是提升教师待遇。目前,威尔士已经同意由政府买单,为教师涨薪8%,英格兰的政客应从善如流,推出更加优惠的扶持政策。
