1、上海市各区高三英语一模汇编完型填空学生版已经校对OneWhy girls do better at school than boys?For centuries, boys were top of the class. But these days, thats no longer the case.A new study by the OECD, a club of mostly _51_ countries in Europe and North America, examined how 15-year-old boys and girls performed at reading, m
2、athematics and science. Boys still get somewhat better _52_ at maths and physics, and in other science courses the genders are roughly _53_. But when it comes to the students who really struggle and suffer at school, the difference is _54_: boys are 50% more likely than girls to fall short of basic
3、standards in all three areas._55_, why are girls performing better at school than their male classmates?First, girls read more than boys. Reading proficiency (熟练) is the basis upon which all other learning is built. When boys dont do well in reading, their _56_ in other school subjects suffers too.S
4、econd, girls spend much more time on their homework and out-of-class learning. _57_, girls spend five and a half hours per week doing homework while boys spend a little less than four and a half hours. Researchers suggest that doing homework _58_ by teachers is linked to better accomplishment in mat
5、hs, reading and science. Boys, it appears, spend more of their free time in the _59_ world; they are 17% more likely to play cooperative online games than girls every day. They also use the internet more.Third, peer _60_ plays a role. A lot of boys decide early on that they are just too cool for sch
6、ool. They adopt a so-called concept of masculinity (男子气概) that includes a disregard for _61_, which means theyre more likely to be rude and noisy in class. Teachers mark them down for this. In anonymous (匿名的) tests, boys perform better. In fact, the gender gap in reading _62_ by a third when teacher
7、s dont know the gender of the pupil they are marking.So what can be done to close this gap? Getting boys to do more homework and cut down on screen-time would help. And offering boys a _63_ to read non-fiction would help too: theyre keener on comics and newspapers. But most of all, abandoning gender
8、 stereotypes (旧模式) would _64_ all students. Thus, boys in all countries with the best schools read much better than girls. As we know, girls in Shanghai, Singapore and Seoul are good at mathematics, and they _65_ boys from anywhere else in the world.51. A. backward B. wealthy C. regular D. miserable

New Tech Network, a new education organization, strives to ensure all students have the skills, knowledge, and attributes they need to thrive in post-secondary education, career and civic life. New Tech Network cooperates with district leaders, administrators, and teachers who share a common pur
13、pose: to provide an education in which students acquire knowledge and develop skills vital to _51_ in the post-secondary path of their choosing. The New Tech design is simply a blueprint, _52_ a set of core beliefs, tools, and strategies to help each school fulfill its purpose. New Tech design princ
14、iples provide for an _53_ approach centered on project-based learning, a culture that enables students and teachers, and the use of technology in the classroom. Through extensive professional development, personalized coaching, and access to Echo, New Tech Network, a learning _54_ system, enables pr
15、incipals, teachers, and students to develop relevant and meaningful learning communities. TEACHING THAT ENGAGESA K-12 PathwayThrough project-based learning, internships（见习期）, dual enrollment, and other experiences in New Tech schools, students are well _55_ post-secondary pursuits. _56_, New Tech Ne
16、twork has worked with public school districts to redesign high schools. More recently, however, New Tech Network is partnering with several school districts to _57_ New Tech middle schools and elementary schools. In some districts, this provides students with a K-12 pathway. In elementary and middle
17、 schools, the design principles are the sameteaching that engages, culture that empowers, and technology that enables. As the elementary and middle schools mature, New Network will measure success on student _58_. Learning _59_The years spent in a New Tech school allow students to gain the academic
18、and deeper learning skills necessary for success in any post-secondary option. New Tech students learn disciplinary knowledge and skills to conduct inquiry and solve real-world problems. Throughout a project, they cooperate with peers, facilitators, and experts in the field. Students _60_ their lear
19、ning through effective oral and written communication for authentic audiences. Ownership of their learning experience and engagement in relevant and challenging tasks helps students develop a sense of agency, a skill essential to success in _61_, career, and civic duty. Project-Based LearningProject
20、-based learning is at the heart of New Tech Networks instructional approach. Students cooperate on projects, ranging in _62_ from two to eight weeks, which require critical thinking and communication. Projects often occur in integrated subject area courses, where Entry Events, the Need-to-Know (NTK)
21、 process, and skill building workshops support student-centred learning. During projects, students often engage with subject matter experts who provide feedback on real-world products. Through project-based learning, students not only master _63_ content, but also successfully apply content when sol
22、ving authentic problems. _64_ -Based InternshipsNew Tech students also engage in experiences designed to prepare them for success in the contemporary workplace. By cooperating with others on projects, students acquire a level of responsibility similar to a _65_ work environment. Students engage with
23、 field experts and community stakeholders(利益相关者) during projects, and final products are presented to authentic audiences. Additionally, two-thirds of New Tech high schools offer such practical activities, with nearly half of all seniors participating. 51. A. success B. rescue C. survival D. reform

27、s travel isnt as fun and fascinating as it seems.” Finally, there could be _51_ to back this up. Researchers at the University of Surrey, in Britain, and Linnaeus University, in Sweden, have published a new study highlighting what they call “a _52_ side of hypermobility(常飞行)”. The study, which combi
28、nes existing research on the _53_ of frequent travel, finds three types of consequence: physiological, psychological and emotional, and social. The physiological ones are the most obvious. Jet lag is the suffering travellers know best, although they may not _54_ some of its more terrible potential e
29、ffects, like speeding ageing or increasing the risk of heart attack and stroke. Then theres the danger of deep-vein thrombosis(深静脉血栓), _55_ to germs and radiation. And finally, of course, business travellers tend to get less exercise and eat less healthily than people who stay in place.The psycholog
30、ical and emotional damage of business travel is more abstract, but just as real. Frequent flyers experience “travel disorientation” from _56_ places and time zones so often. They also _57_ mounting stress, given that “time spent travelling will rarely be balanced through a reduced workload, and that
31、 there may be anxieties _58_ with work continuing to pile up while being away”. _59_ the absence from family and friends, “hypermobility is frequently a/an _60_ experience,” the authors write. The accumulated impact can be astonishing and great. Finally, there are the _61_ effects. Marriages suffer
32、from the time apart, as does childrens behaviour. What is more, relationships tend to become more _62_, as the partner who stays at home is forced to take on more _63_ duties. Theres a gender inequality here, since most business travellers are men. Friendships also suffer, as business travellers often “sacrifice local collective activities and instead _64_ their im
