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 [br] 【C1】
选项
答案
B
解析
空格位于定冠词the之后,且本句的谓语为系动同is,故应填入单数名词作表语。上文提到,几个世纪以来,男生都是班级里的尖子。本句句首的but表转折,故本句所表达的应该是与上文相反的情况,故空格处应填入case,意为“情况”。备选的名词中,experience“经验,经历”、proficiency“能力,水平”和role“作用,功能”均不符合文意,故排除。
