   It’s widely agreed that girls generally start talking earlier than boys, and use more complex vocabulary. When they start school, most girls have 【C1】______ better verbal skills than boys—on average, they are a month or two ahead. As they progress through primary school, girls continue to  【C2】______ boys when it comes to verbal skills. By the time children leave primary school, girls are about a year ahead with reading and the gap is even bigger for writing. However, it should be noted that boys are 【C3】______ level with girls when it comes to attainment in maths at primary school.
   The gap in attainment at the age of 16 has led some teachers to believe that 【C4】______ lessons in core subject are the way forward when it comes to 【C5】______ male students and improving boys’ grades. They argue that boys, for instance, feel less disheartened in subjects like  【C6】______ when there are no female students in the classroom to compete with. Others believe that girls and boys thrive best when the 【C7】______ sex is taken out of the equation completely— and advocate a single-sex environment, especially at 【C8】______ school level.
   Some schools believe that a male 【C9】______ —whether it is a male teacher or more involvement from dad at home—is a key factor in impelling boys and improving their grades. Others advocate a more "boy-friendly" environment at school, whether it’s 【C10】______ more books in the library that appeal to boys or trying out different teaching styles in lessons to engage boys in learning.

选项
答案 H
解析 空格前的不定式符号to提示空格处应填入动词原形。上文提及女孩在言语能力方面胜过(或优于)男孩，空格前的continue说明此处还是说女孩的优势，词库动词中的outperform“比……表现要好”代入，符合语境，故选H。excel“擅长，优于”常用搭配是excel at／in sth．，或者excel oneself，因此可从用法上予以排除。
