仔细阅读解析
Section A
47 a grade above 94 / a higher grade
48 select the method of grading
49 improving
50 effort and accomplishment
51 discuss his concern
47 文中第一段告诉我们，这个九年级学生不满意艺术老师给出的94分，因为在前一学年中，他获得了一个99，一个100，他认为这个94不能反映出他花在这门课上的心血。因此，这个九年级同学认为他的老师应该给他一个比94更高的分数。题目中的should have given him指“本应该给他”，表示一种与事实相反的假设。
48 答案在Answer 部分的第一段第二句。原文中的deserve wide latitude与have the freedom 意义相近，promote learning 与encourage learning 表达的意思相同。因此答案是select the method of grading，指选择判分的方式。
49 答案在文章Answer 部分的第二段第二、三句。这一部分表达的意思是一个拿到了100分的学生仍会有很大的需要进步的空间。第二句中有一个词可以表达继续进步的意思，即improve. keep 后需接动词的ing形式，因此填入的词是improving.
50 Rembrandt (伦勃朗，17世纪一位荷兰画家，文章中提到的The Night Watch 是他的名作《夜巡》)出现在Answer 部分的第三段。伦勃朗的例子主要是为了说明付出与成就不完全对等。答案在这一段第二句中，应填入的内容是effort and accomplishment. 题目中的distinction, 意思是区别。
51 答案在文章最后一句，应填入的内容是discuss his concern.
