A.Discrepancy between what they say and what they do.
B.Differences between teachers' problems and schools' problems.
C.Advantages and disadvantages of students’ learning opportunities.
D.Students' perception and the reality of their performance on assessments.

参考答案：D

细节题。根据关键词定位到第四段。根据原文“Their achievement results fed into the implicit mission of schools:the greater the spread of achievement among students, the more it reinforcedthe rank order. This is why, if some students gave up and stopped trying (even dropped out of school),that wasregarded as the student's problem, not the teacher's or the school's.”可知，学生之间成绩流传得越广，成绩的排名就越固定。结合前文及此处内容，也就是说成绩决定了学生学习的态度，态度决定了他们的排名表现。故本题选D。
