【解析】

短文大意：本文关注的是学生成绩下降的话题，提出了应对建议：一是分数开始下降时试着和一位友好的老师交谈，二是考试前再看一遍笔记，三是需要有自信和正确的方法。

【1】题意：学生成绩下降的原因包括 情况。考查细节理解题。根据第一段中Sometimes it is because of situations(情况) outside schools such as problems at home. Sometimes it is only because the exams get harder. 可知成绩下降有可能是来自于校外的原因如家庭，也可能是来自于校内的原因如试题的难度加大等，故填outside schools and inside schools。

【2】（把……）与……相比compare …with；其他的学生other students。根据句意结构，可知填comparing yourself with other students。

【3】原句Nothing is possible if he or she doesn't have confidence.是if条件句；“没有信心”即without confidence；根据句意，可知填Nothing is possible without confidence.。

【4】考查词义理解题。besides（表示排斥）除…之外（还有）；根据句意和上下文，可知this是针对上文的Nothing is possible if he or she doesn't have confidence. 一句而言的，因此this指代的是confidence，故填confidence。

【5】题意：这篇文章最好的标题可以是_________。考查标题归纳题。根据短文内容，可知中心话题就是在成绩下降之后该如何去应对，所以文章的标题就是如何应对成绩和学习，故填How to deal with your marks (and your study).。
