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—【C2】______, they are a month or two ahead.
    As they progress【C3】______ primary school, girls continue to【C4】______ boys when it comes to verbal skills. By the time children leave primary school, girls are about a year【C5】______ with reading and the gap is even bigger for writing.【C6】______, it should be noted that boys are【C7】______ 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【C8】______ lessons in core subject are the way forward when it comes to【C9】______ male students and improving boys’ grades. They argue that boys,【C10】______, feel less disheartened in subjects like【C11】______ when there are no female students in the classroom to【C12】______.
    Others believe that girls and boys【C13】______ best when the opposite sex is taken out of the equation completely—and【C14】______ a single-sex environment, especially at【C15】______ school level.
    Some schools believe that a male【C16】______—whether it is a male teacher or more【C17】______ from dad at home—is a key factor in impelling boys and improving their grades.

选项 A、pursue
B、reject
C、advocate
D、doubt
答案 C
解析 语义线索题。有些人认为在中学阶段不应拿男女学生进行比较。因此这些人推崇单一性别的教育环境。故选advocate“支持,拥护”。根据上文，可知这些人对单一性别教育环境持支持态度，所以不是reject“拒绝”或者doubt“怀疑”。另外，这些人对单一性别教育的推崇更多地体现为态度和想法。而不是行为，所以不宜用pursue“追求，从事或忙于”。
