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 co-operate, to share, and to develop 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.

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 此题是一道具体细节题。问作者认为老师应该主要关心学生哪方面的发展。根据文章第二段的内容可知,单凭智力分班也不太符合实际情况,因为智力仅仅是他们整体素质中的一个方面。我们关心的是最充分地开发所有孩子的各项能力,而不仅仅是发展他们的学业能力。我们同时也重视个人品质和社交能力的培养,程度不同的学生混班上课有利于所有这些方面的培养。由此我们可以推断出本文作者认为教师主要关心的应该是学生的整体素质。因此,本题的正确答案应是B。
