答案与解析
47. K。此空需填名词。由前一句和本句提到的“不能只根据学生的智力来给他们分等级，这(智力)只是他们全部……的一部分” ，可以判断personality (个性)最符合句意。

48. A。 此空需填形容词。该空所在句子意为“我们关心所有学生的全面发展，而不仅是他们的……能力” 。根据上文所述，该处的能力即“intellectual ability”，所以academic“学术的”是最佳答案。

49. O。此空需填形容词。根据下文所列举的种种学习活动，这里应填入various (各种各样的)。

50. I。此空需填名词。做宾语，其后的动词不定式都是后置定语。根据句意“给他们……来学习、来分享、来发展领导技能。opportunity “机会”，符合句意。

51. J。此空需填形容词。该空上下文的意思是“他们学习与别人合作。他们也学习如何处理……问题和如何思考和做决定”。所列举的都是个人的事。这样，personal (个人的)最合适。

52. D。此空需填不及物动词，而所在短语意思是“(学习)有效地……” 。在可选动词中，应用communicate (交流)。

53. F。此空需填形容词。做定语修饰tasks和assignmen。与pairs（两个人）相对的individual(单独的，个别的)。句意 “学生们有时两个一组地学习或是自己完成任务和作业”。

54. B。此空需填形容词或分词，而所在句意为“学生们在……的时候也接受正式的课堂教育” ，因此在可选词中，appropriate “适当的，合适的” 最贴切。

55. H。此空需填形容词，与前文do their best (竭尽全力) 相对应，该空应填入least (最少)一词。

56. C。此空需填动词原形。该空所在句意为“我们鼓励学生们来……他们的目标” ， attain “达到，实现”，符合句意。attain one's goal意为“实现目标”。
