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I

解析 此处填形容词或动词的进行时皆可。根据上下文,前文一直在讲女生在阅读和写作方面胜过男生,而该句有转折However,句意为“但是,值得注意的是,在数学成绩方面男女生基本——”,该空应表示差距不大。观察选项,有identical和level两个形容词,identical表示“完全相同的”,不符合句意,level表示“同水平的,相齐的”,且和with构成固定搭配,因此,正确答案是I。
