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 beat the bottom of the top grade!
    Besides, it is rather unreal to grade people just according to their intellectual(智力的) 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 leadership skills. They also learn how to cope with (对付) 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.
By "held back" (Line 1) the author means______.

选项 A、made to remain in the same classes
B、forced to study in the lower classes
C、drawn to their studies
D、prevented from advancing

答案D

解析 从词组来看,back本身就有向后的意思。另外如果能够理解“on the contrary”后面的话也可推理出“held back”与“enrich”意思相反。因此选D。
