Tens of thousands of 18-year-olds will graduate this year and be handed meaningless diplomas. These diplomas won't look any different from those awarded their luckier classmates. Their validity will be questioned only when their employers discover that these graduates are semiliterate (半文盲).
Eventually a fortunate few will find their way into educational-repair shops - adult-literacy programs, such as the one where I teach basic grammar and writing. There, high-school graduates and high-school dropouts pursuing graduate-equivalency certificates will Learn the skills they should have Learned in school. They will also discover they have been cheated by our educational system.
I will never forget a teacher who got the attention of one of my children by revealing the trump card of failure. Our youngest, a world-class charmer, did little to develop his intellectual talents but always got by. Until Mrs. Stifter.
Our son was high-school senior when he had her for English. "He sits in the back of the room talking to his friends," she told me.“Why don't you move him to the front row7" I urged, believing the embarrassment would get him to settle down. Mrs. Stifter said, "1 don't move seniors. I flunk ( 使…不及格) them”Our son’s academic life flashed before my eyes. No teacher had ever threatened him. By the time I got home I was feeling pretty good about this. It was a radical approach for these times, but well, why not? “She's going to flunk you," I told my son.
I did not discuss it any further. Suddenly English became a priority ( 头等重要) in his life. He finished out the semester with an A.
I know one example doesn't make a case, but at night I see a parade of students who are angry for having been passed along until they could no longer even pretend to keep up. Of average intelligence or better, they eventually quit school, concluding they were too dumb to finish. "I should have been held back," is a comment I hear frequently. Even sadder are those students who are high-school graduates who say to me after a few weeks of class. "I don't know how I ever got a high-school diploma."
Passing students who have not mastered the work cheats them and the employers who expect graduates to have basic skills. We excuse this dishonest behavior by saying kids can't learn if they come from terrible environments. No one seems to stop to think that most kids don't put school first on their list unless they perceive something is at risk. They'd rather be sailing.
Many students I see at night have decided to make education a priority. They are motivated by the desire for a better job or the need to hang on to the one they've got. They have a healthy fear of failure.
People of all ages can rise above their problems, but they need to have a reason to do so. Yong people generally don't have the maturity to value education in the same way my adult students value it. But fear of failure can motivate both.

参考答案
46.答案 A
本文作者采用了首旬点题的方式告知读者主题。文章第一句便提出了一个概念： meaningless diplomas，由此可以初步确定本文是关于学校教育方面的话题。继续阅读文章可以确定本文的主要话题是关于如何学到真正扎实的，以胜任毕业后工作的知识。由此确定选项 A 为本题答案。结合第一句的内容，考生就会发现其他三个选项与文章的相关性明显偏小，表现文章主旨的可能性不大。
47答案 A
本题信息点是Mrs. Sifter get the attention of one of the author’s children， 要求考生获取 Mrs. Sifter是通过什么方式引起了作者孩子注意的信息。该信息出现在文章第四段的一句话：Mrs. Stifter said，“I don’t move seniors. I flunk them.” 这句话的上文是作者请求Mrs. Stifter 将自己的孩子座位前移，从而避免他跟周围同学讲话。在此背景下出现了Mrs. Stifter said,“I don't move seniors. I flunk them.”由此可见，Mrs. Stifter 吸引学生注意力的方法不是move 而是flunk。由此可以确定选项A 符合文章内容，为本题答案。
48. 答案 D。
本题信息点是the most effective way for a teacher，要求考生获取作者心目中老师最有效的教学方法是什么的信息。根据语篇发展的规律，文章开始提出问题，再分析问题出现的原因，最后应该是作者提出的解决办法。所以对解决学生学校毕业后不能胜任工作的问题，作者在最后一段提出了解决办法：fear of failure can motivate bath。由此可见，作者认为老师应该用让学生不及格的方式来激发学生对知识的重视及解决问题的积极性。所以本题答案为 D。
49. 答案 B。
我们解答态度题的基本原则是“听其言，观其行”。文中作者对 flunking 的看法在第四段有以下表述：No teacher had ever threatened him…. I was feeling pretty good about this. It..., but, well, why not? "She's going to flunk you," I told my son.... English became a priority in his life. He finished out the semester with an A. 另外最后一段最后一句…fear of failure can motivate，也表述了作者的态度。由此确定选项B 为本题答案。
50. 答案 C
主旨题(注意：本题问本文读者对象是什么人，是主旨的一个侧面。此类问题其实就是主旨题的一种变化，所以我们归类为主旨题)。本文主要讨论如何使学生在校学好知识. 毕业后胜任工作的话题，并且作者认为要做到这点，老师应该讲究如何应对学生的教育方法. 所以应该是写给老师的，故选项 C 为本题答案。
[说明] 本题官方答案为B。本文是从一篇很长的文章中节选出的一部分，由于缺乏了更大语境，本题确实很难判断。
