　　參考答案：

　　46 c 文章的題目是：用較快的速度閱讀。第二段的第一個句子說的是：在美國五個小學生中至少有一個在學習閱讀方面有困難，雖然這些學生其他科目都不錯。這是一個總的說明，接著的句子應(yīng)該具體化了。c就是進一步的說明：科學家說： 這些孩子中的許多人的最大困難是如何使得讀音和字母對應(yīng)起來。

　　47 B 第四段的第一句話說的是：每天老師幫助他們弄懂字母如何表達叫做音素的語音單位的。光弄懂是不夠的，還需要實踐。B就是實踐：學生還練習朗讀和拼寫。

　　48 E 第六段說的是：作為研究的一部分，研究人員用一個特殊的機器拍攝學生大腦的動作照片。B說的是：照片顯示左大腦后部的活動增加了。非常連貫。

　　49 D 倒數(shù)第二段的第一句講的是試驗組的情況，D講的是用傳統(tǒng)方法的情況。放在一起可以構(gòu)成對比，也很連貫。

　　50 F 最后一段的第一句說的是：然而，有些研究人員仍然不太相信這一研究。從 提供的選項中的第一個詞組可以看出，只有F是合適的，因為它的起始詞是“They’，回指“some researchers”。
