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

选项
答案
H
解析
空格位于系动词be和介词短语in class之间,故应填入形容词。很多男生很早就决定他们只是学校里的酷学生,这就意味着他们在班级里更可能吵闹,故空格处应填入noisy“喧闹的,有噪音的”。备选的形容词lazy“懒惰的,怠惰的”不符合文意,故排除。
