问题     In West Virginia and in New York, one out of four students drops out of high school. In Washington, DC, the【S1】______are even worse. One half of all high school students never【S2】______Nationwide, the overall dropout rate is【S3】______29%. Many say they drop out because they are bored. Because of this, U.S. educators are trying to figure out a way to stop this【S4】______trend. In Milwaukee, some schools are having lotteries for used cars for students who stay in school. In Philadelphia, at-risk students are being【S5】______summer jobs for staying in school. But in a New Jersey high school, one principal is using money, not jobs, as an incentive(刺激).
    This school received a hundred thousand dollar【S6】______to pay students who are at risk of dropping out. When these students go to school on time, bring their notebooks, and do their homework, they【S7】______five dollars a day. This means students can bring home a twenty-five dollar check every week for going to classes five days in a row. While the program is new, the principal claims that he has already achieved a higher rate of【S8】______with this money incentive. But some say it is too early to talk about the program’s【S9】______. Still others feel that even if it does work, using money as an incentive is【S10】______

[A] appropriately       [F] disturbing        [K] approximately
[B] misleading          [G] awarded           [L] rewarded
[C] positive            [H] contents          [M] earn
[D] success             [I] statistics        [N] grant
[E] absence             [J] graduate          [O] attendance [br] 【S5】
选项
答案 G
解析 从下一句one principal is using money，not jobs，as an incentive可以看出在费城是用工作来刺激学生的，只要学生呆在学校里，学校就把暑期工作机会奖励给学生，因此这里的动词应填awarded。rewarded为干扰项，但要注意这两个词的用法区分，award用法为award sb．sth．，此句中指award at-risk students summer jobs；而reward的用法多为reward sb．with sth．或reward sb．for doing sth.。
