For centuries, boys were top of the class. But these days, that’s no longer the【C1】______.
A new study by the OECD, examined how 15-year-old boys and girls performed at reading, mathematics and science. Boys still score somewhat better at maths, and in science the genders are【C2】______equal. But when it comes to the students who really【C3】______, the difference is obvious: boys are 50% more likely than girls to fall【C4】______of basic standards in all three areas.
Why are girls performing better at school than their male classmates?
First, girls read more than boys. Reading【C5】______is the basis upon which all other learning is built. When boys don’t do well at reading, their performance in other school subjects【C6】______too.
Second, girls spend more time on homework. Researchers suggest that doing homework【C7】______by teachers is linked to better performance in maths, reading and science. Boys, it【C8】______, spend more of their free time in the virtual world: they are 17% more likely to play online games than girls every day. They also use the Internet more.
Third, peer pressure plays a【C9】______. A lot of boys decide early on that they are just too cool for school which means they’re more likely to be【C10】______in class. Teachers mark them down for this. In anonymous(匿名的)tests, boys perform better. In fact, the gender gap in reading drops by a third when teachers don’t know the gender of the pupil they are marking.
A)appears I)proficiency
B)case J)role
C)distinguishes K)roughly
D)dramatically L)set
E)engaged M)short
F)experience N)struggle
G)lazy O)suffers
H)noisy
【C2】
选项
答案
K
解析
分析句子结构可知,句子主要成分完整,空格前面为系动词are,后面为形容词equal,由此可推知,该处很有可能填入副词。上文提到,男生在数学上的分数稍微高些,下文转折后提到区别明显,因此可推知,此处表达的应该是男女生在理科方面的分数大致相等,故空格处应填入roughly“大致上,粗略地”。备选的副词dramatically“显著地”不符合文意,故排除。
