问题     We find that bright children are rarely held back by mixed-ability teaching. On the contrary, both their knowledge and experience are enriched. We feel that there are many disadvantages in streaming(把…按能力分班)pupils. It does not take into account the fact that children develop at different rates. It can have a bad effect on both the bright and the not-so-bright child. After all, it can be quite discouraging to be at the bottom of the top grade!
    Besides, it is rather unreal to grade people just according to their intellectual ability. This is only one aspect of their total personality. We are concerned to develop the abilities of all our pupils to the full, not just their academic ability. We also value personal qualities and social skills and we find that mixed-ability teaching contributes to all these aspects of learning.
    In our classrooms, we work in various ways. The pupils often work in groups: this gives them the opportunity to learn to cooperate, to share, and to develop their leadership skills. They also learn how to cope with personal problems as well as learning how to think, to make decisions, to analyze and evaluate, and to communicate effectively. The pupils learn from each other as well as from the teacher.
    Sometimes the pupils work in pairs:sometimes they work on individual tasks and assignments, and they can do this at their own speed. They also have some formal class teaching when this is appropriate. We encourage our pupils to use the library, and we teach them the skills they need in order to do this efficiently. An advanced pupil can do advanced work:it does not matter what age the child is. We expect our pupils to do their best, not their least, and we give them every encouragement to attain this goal. [br] The writer argues that a teacher’s chief concern should be the development of the student’s( ).

选项 A、personal qualities and social skills
B、total personality
C、learning ability and communicative skills
D、intellectual ability

答案 B

解析 题目问:作者坚决主张一位教师主要应该关心学生哪方面的发展。由concern和development可以定位到文章第二段第三句“We are concerned to develop the abilities of all our pupils to the full,not just their academicability.”我们要关注学生所有方面能力的发展,并不仅仅是学术上的能力。由第二段第二句“This is only one aspectof their total personality.”可以得到学生所有方面的能力即“total personality”,因此答案为B。
