【阅读理解】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.
The author argues that a teacher’s chief concern should be the development of the student’s _______.
A、personal qualities and social skills
B、total personality
C、learning ability and communicative skills
D、intellectual ability
【正确答案】：B
【题目解析】：根据本段的内容，可以看出学生的total personality(总体素质)包括了academic ability or intellectual ability, personal qualities和 social skills。也就是说这些能力都是total personality的方方面面。再看一下这一段的第二、三两句，可以得出正确的答案应该是选项B。其他几个选项的意思都不全面，都不能反映作者的充分开发学生的全面能力的主张。
