    As they progress【C3】______ primary school, girls continue to【C4】______ boys when it comes to verbal skills. By the time children leave primary school, girls are about a year【C5】______ with reading and the gap is even bigger for writing.【C6】______, it should be noted that boys are【C7】______ level with girls when it comes to attainment in maths at primary school.

They argue that boys,【C10】______, feel less disheartened in subjects like【C11】______ when there are no female students in the classroom to【C12】______.

选项 A、excel
B、exceed
C、outfight
D、outperform
答案 D
解析 词义辨析题。女孩在言语能力方面胜过(或优于)男孩，D选项outperform“做的比……好，优于……”符合句意。excel“擅长，优于，胜过”，常用搭配是excel at／in sth．，或者excel oneself；exceed“超过，超越”，一般指超量或者超出法律等规定的界限；outfight“(在战斗或比赛中)比(对手)出色；赛过；胜过”。所以这三个选项均不正确。
