问题     The intelligence test used most often today are based on the work of a Frenchman, Alfred Binet. In 1905, Binet was asked by the French Ministry of Education to develop a way to identify those children in French schools who were too "mentally deficient(不足的)" to benefit from ordinary schooling and who needed special education. The tests had to distinguish those who were merely behind in school from those who were actually mentally deficient.
    The items that Binet and his colleague Theophile Simon included on the test were chosen on the basis of their ideas about intelligence. Binet and Simon believed intelligence includes such abilities as understanding the meaning of words: solving problems, and making commonsense judgements. Two other important assumptions also shaped Binet’ s and Simon’ s work:(1)that children with more intelligence will do better in school and(2)that older children have a greater ability than younger children.
    Binet’ s first test consisted of thirty tasks. They were simple things most children learn as a result of their everyday experiences. The tasks were arranged in groups, according to age. Binet decided which tasks were appropriate for a given age group by giving them first to a large number of children of different ages. If more than half of the children of a given age passed a test, it was considered appropriate for that age group.
How did Binet decide which task to include on his first test?

选项 A、He first worked out thirty tasks for mentally deficient children.
B、He first gave all the tasks to many children both younger and older.
C、He first gave the tasks to many children he thought appropriate.
D、He first gave some of the tasks to different groups of children.

答案B

解析 文章最后一段倒数第二句指出,Binet通过将事先设计好的全部测试题发给不同年龄的学生以确定哪些测试题对某年龄段的学生适合。B项符合题意,故选B。
