问题     In West Virginia and in New York, one out of four students drops out of high school. In Washington, DC, the 【S1】______ are even worse. One half of all high school students never 【S2】______ Nationwide, the overall dropout rate is 【S3】______ 29%. Many say they drop out because they are bored. Because of this, U.S. educators are trying to figure out a way to stop this 【S4】______ trend. In Milwaukee, some schools are having lotteries for used cars for students who stay in school. In Philadelphia, at-risk students are being 【S5】______ summer jobs for staying in school. But in a New Jersey high school, one principal is using money, not jobs, as an incentive(刺激).
    This school received a hundred thousand dollar 【S6】______ to pay students who are at risk of dropping out. When these students go to school on time, bring their notebooks, and do their homework, they 【S7】______ five dollars a day.

答案I
解析 从In West Virginia and in New York 和 In Washington，D.C.以及空格所在句中的even worse可以看出空格前后两句属于对比关系，而明显有对比内容的是统计数据，因此选statistics。该词是one out of four和One half of all的上义词。注意absence 和 drops out属于不同的概念，因此不能选absence。
