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.
The author’s purpose of writing this passage is to________.

选项 A、argue for teaching bright and not-so-bright pupils in the same class
B、recommend pair work and group work for classroom activities
C、offer advice on the proper use of the library
D、emphasize the importance of appropriate formal classroom teaching

答案A

解析 通读全文可知,作者在第一段和第二段中分别否定了按能力和智力分班,并特别指出混合能力型教学的优点,接着在最后两段具体讲述了混合能力型教学带来的好处。由此可推知,本篇文章的目的是支持混合能力型教学这一教学方式,即将聪明的和不那么聪明的学生放在同一班级中进行教学。故选A。
