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
【C3】
选项
答案
N
解析
空格位于who引导的定语从句中,从句中缺少谓语成分,关系词指代的主语为复数且动作发生在现在,故应填入动词原形。上文提到,男生在数学上的分数稍微高些,而男女生在理科方面的分数大致相等。本句句首的but表转折,故本句所表达的含义应该与上文相反,即说到确实很努力的学生时,这种差别很明显,故空格处应填入struggle“努力,奋斗”。备选的动词set“布置,制订”不符合文意,故排除。
