问题     In West Virginia and in New York, one out of four students drops out of high school. In Washington, D.C., 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】______.

选项
答案 I
解析 根据In West Virginia and in New York…one out of four students及后面的In Washington, D.C….are even worse可以看出，前后两句属于对比关系，而且很明显对比的内容应是统计数据，因此选I. statistics。注意absence“缺席；缺勤”和dropout“辍学”属于不同的概念，因此不能选E.。
