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 (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 pupils 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 leadership skills. They also learn how to cope with personal problems as well as how to think, to make decisions, to make analyses and evaluations, 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, Para. 1) the author means "________".

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

答案D

解析 根据第一段前两句“We find that…On the contrary, both their knowledge and experience are enriched. ”可知,混合能力型教学很少会妨碍聪明孩子的发展,反而会丰富他们的知识和经验。由此可推知,held back与enriched(使丰富)的意思相反,意为“妨碍进展”。A项意为“被迫待在同样的班级”;B项意为“被迫在低阶班级学习”;C项意为“被他们的学业吸引”;D项意为“被阻止进步”。四个选项中D项与其意思最接近。故选D。
