   It’s widely agreed that girls generally start talking earlier than boys, and use more complex vocabulary. When they start school, most girls have 【C1】______ better verbal skills than boys—on average, they are a month or two ahead. As they progress through primary school, girls continue to  【C2】______ boys when it comes to verbal skills. By the time children leave primary school, girls are about a year ahead with reading and the gap is even bigger for writing. However, it should be noted that boys are 【C3】______ level with girls when it comes to attainment in maths at primary school.
   The gap in attainment at the age of 16 has led some teachers to believe that 【C4】______ lessons in core subject are the way forward when it comes to 【C5】______ male students and improving boys’ grades. They argue that boys, for instance, feel less disheartened in subjects like  【C6】______ when there are no female students in the classroom to compete with. Others believe that girls and boys thrive best when the 【C7】______ sex is taken out of the equation completely— and advocate a single-sex environment, especially at 【C8】______ school level.
   Some schools believe that a male 【C9】______ —whether it is a male teacher or more involvement from dad at home—is a key factor in impelling boys and improving their grades. Others advocate a more "boy-friendly" environment at school, whether it’s 【C10】______ more books in the library that appeal to boys or trying out different teaching styles in lessons to engage boys in learning.
【C10】
选项
答案O
解析 连词or连接…more books．．．to boys和trying out different teaching styles．．．，故空格处应填入跟trying并列的动名词。上文提到，有些人支持在学校中创造一种对男孩更加友好的环境，再结合下文的in the library“在图书馆中”，O项stocking“储存”符合语义，意为“在图书馆多储备一些令男孩子感兴趣的书籍”。
