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
B)case
C)distinguishes
D)dramatically
E)engaged
F)experience
G)lazy
H)noisy
I)proficiency
J)role
K)roughly
L)set
M)short
N)struggle
O)suffers
【C8】
选项
答案
A
解析
分析句子结构可知,空格处是插入语,主语是it,所以应填入动词第三人称单数形式作谓语。上文提到,女生在家庭作业上花费的时间更多。此处应该是相对于上文的转折,即男生似乎在虚拟世界里花费更多的空闲时间,玩网络游戏、使用互联网等,故空格处应填入appears“看上去好像,似乎”。备选的动词distinguishes“区别,区分”不符合文意,故排除。
