问题     It’ s widely agreed that girls generally start talking earlier than boys, and use more complex vocabulary. When they【C1】______school, most girls have slightly 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【C3】______is even bigger for writing. However, it should be noted that boys are roughly【C4】______with girls when it comes to attainment in maths at primary school.
    The gap in attainment at the age of 16 had led some teachers to believe that single-sex lessons in core subjects are the way forward when it comes to【C5】______male students and improving boys’ grades. They argue that boys, for instance, feel less【C6】______in subjects like literacy when there are no female students in the classroom to compete with.
    Others believe that girls and boys thrive best when the opposite sex is taken out of the equation completely, and【C7】______a single-sex environment, especially at secondary school level.
    Some schools believe that a male【C8】______—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【C9】______more books in the library that appeal to boys or trying out different teaching styles in lessons to【C10】______boys in learning.

选项
答案 F
解析 介词to之后，且和improving构成并列结构，此处应填动词的ing形式。根据句意“——男生的学习动力，提高学习成绩”，该空应填表示“激发，鼓励”等词汇。选项中motivating和cheering含有此意，不过在表达“激发动力”时习惯用motivate。因此，正确答案是F。
