   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.
【C6】
选项
答案E
解析 空格处应填入名词，作介词like的宾语。此处是对subjects“科目”进行举例，因此空格处应填入表示某一具体科目的名词，再结合第1段倒数第二句的“男生读写方面不如女生”故选E项literacy“读写”。reading也是科目的一种，但选reading不够全面，没有覆盖上文“写作的差距更大”(the gap is even bigger for writing)，故排除J。
