问题     Apprenticeships have long been popular in Europe, but
workforce-oriented high school training is nearly as common in【M1】______
U.S. schools. One reason is that such programs sound dangerously
similar to track—sorting students by ability level, a practice【M2】______
repeatedly rejected in U.S. culture, by which the dominant【M3】______
philosophy is that all students should have opportunity to meet
their full potential.
    If high schools were to advise students that some education
beyond high school is not necessary for everyone, "there’s little bit【M4】______
of a concern that... we’ re saying a lesser goal is OK for the
populations of students who have been historically least
well-served by high education," says Jane Wellman, executive【M5】______
director of Delta Project, which studies higher education spending.
    In recent years, male college-going and completion rates have
raised concerns. But those least well-serving historically are【M6】______
low-income and underrepresented majority students, who are less【M7】______
likely than their peels to pursue two- and four-year degrees, and【M8】______
most at risk of not completing college if they do enroll.
    Some evidence suggest, though, that students already are being【M9】______
held to different standards. A recent national survey of high school
teachers by ACT Inc., the educational testing company, found 71%
agreed "completely" or "a great deal" that high school graduates
need the same set of skills and knowledge if they plan to go to【M10】______
college or enter the workforce, yet 42% said teachers reduce
academic expectations for students they perceive as not being
college-bound.
【M8】
选项
答案peels一peers
解析 词汇错误。peel作名词时意为“(蔬菜、水果等的)皮”，放在此处语义不当。这里指的是少数学生的“同龄者”，故应该选用peel的形近词peer.
