Questions 47 to 56 are based on the followingpassage.

解析：M) require
首先，这里缺的是动词。备选词中动词有D) enhance，G) hinder，M) require，O) urge
Enhance，加强，增强。Hinder,阻碍，妨碍。Require, 要求。 Urge 催促，强迫。根据句意选M)require，每年的第一周英语课，就有一些学生告诉我作文难写。他们从来不写作，除非作业要求他们这样。
They find the writing process __48__and difficult.
解析：I) painful
首先，既然由and连接，肯定and 前后的单词的词性是一样的，。即48应该为形容词。A) closer B) daily C) emotionalE) enormous
I) painful
N) sensitive
另外既然由and连接，那么and前后两个词的意思应该是有一定关联的，比如 cute and smart,ugly and nasty. 由句意可知选择I) painful
