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.

选项
答案
M
解析
空格位于fall和of之间,且of后面跟的是名词短语,故可推测此处可能考查固定搭配。上文提到,说到确实很努力的学生时,这种差别很明显。一般情况下,冒号之后的内容是对冒号之前的部分进行的解释,因此该句表达的是男生在所有这三个领域达不到基本标准的可能性比女生高50%。故空格处应填入short。fall short of意为“达不到;缺乏”,故答案为[M]。
