问题         In the Harry Potter films, Hermione Granger is better than her male friends and is considered the brightest pupil in her grade. Isn’t it often the same in schools of our real world? A great many boys fall behind their female classmates.
        " It’s surprising but true that most of the top students have been girls since the primary school. Girls are class leaders, club presidents and the top ones in exams," said Wang Feixuan, 15, who studies at a Chengdu school. By any measure, Wang herself is a high achiever. She is a top student, a team leader in her school’ s sports club and a winner in many competitions.
        But why do so many girls outperform their male peers?
        In Sun Yunxiao’s latest book Save Our Boys, he points out that the education system is " more suited to girls, who are good at memorizing and like to sit quietly and read". Yet he also says that girls have to do so much more when they compete with males for honours, top universities and good jobs. They can feel great pressure nearly every day.
        This seems to be the same in most countries in the world. Young women in the United States are also reported to feel the same pressure to be perfect.
        "Let’s look at what we ask our teenage girls for," says an American professor Stephen Hinshaw in an interview. He thinks that it’s no longer enough that a girl does well in school and becomes a caring friend. Girls see images of impossible perfection on TV, on the Internet, and everywhere. Today’s young women must be good learners, good athletes, and fill their after-school lives with other activities. But they’re also asked to have the styles and looks of popular stars. "Be pretty, sweet and nice. Be athletic, competitive and get straight. Be impossibly perfect." Stephen Hinshaw sums up.
The underlined word "outperform" (Para. 3) means__________.
选项 A、mistake
B、misunderstand
C、ignore
D、defeat
答案D
解析 根据第一段最后一句“A great many boys fall behind their female classmates.”和第二段中的“…most of the top students have been girl…the top ones in exams…”可知，许多男生落后于他们的女同学，许多女生在学习上超过了男生，并表现出了比男生更优异的才华。由此可推知，女生常常比男生表现得更优秀，所以outperform是句中fall behind(落后)的反义词，意为“超过，胜过”。mistake弄错，误解；misunderstand误解，误会；ignore忽视，忽略；defeat战胜，击败。四个选项中D项与其意思最接近。故选D。
