A
It is not too much to say of him, as Robert Schumann did, that “music owes as much to Bach as Christianity to its Founder”.
Bach wrote a library of music as incomparable for its extensiveness as for its artistic merit.
It is indeed curious that this uniquely productive genius should have been neglected for almost a century following his death in 1750, and other manuscripts were disposed of by his sons for about ten each. The manuscripts of his solo sonatas were discovered on their way to a butcher shop to be used as wrapping paper. And his music remained virtually unperformed for some eighty years.
The rediscovery of Back began in 1802, when the German musicologist Forkel published a biography of Bach. “This sublime genius,” wrote Forkel, “this prince of musicians dwarfs all others from the heights of superiority.” With the launching in 1850 of the complete edition of Bach’s works, music lovers were gradually to arrive at a full appreciation of his contribution to music.
Bach can be called the founder of the art of modern piano playing, for he taught that the fingers should be equally developed to play the organ, the lower joints held curved and the wrist and arm kept flexible. Before his time, organists had played with on

Like many of my generation, I have a weakness for hero worship. At some point, however, we all begin to question our heroes and our need for them. This leads us to ask: What is a hero?
Despite immense differences in cultures, heroes around the world generally share a number of characteristics that instruct and inspire people.
A hero does something worth talking about. A hero has a story of adventure to tell and a community who will listen. But a hero goes beyond mere fame.
Heroes serve powers or principles larger than themselves. Like high-voltage(电压) transformers, heroes take the energy of higher powers and step it down so that it can be used by ordinary people.
The hero lives a life worthy of imitation. Those who imitate a genuine hero experience life with new depth, enthusiasm, and meaning. A sure test for would-be heroes is what or whom do they serve? What are they willing to live and die for? If the answer or evidence suggests they serve on
Heroes are catalysts (催化剂) for change. They have a vision from the mountaintop. They have the skill and the charm to move the masses. They create new possibilities. Without Gandhi, India might still be part of the British Empire. Without Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King, Jr., we might still have segregated(隔离的) buses, restaurants, and parks. It may be possible for large-scale change to occur without leaders with magnetic personalities, but the pace of change would be slow, the vision uncertain, and the committee meetings endless.
46. Although heroes may come from different cultures, they _______.
A. generally possess certain inspiring characteristics
B. probably share some weaknesses of ordinary people
C. are often influenced by previous generations
D. all unknowingly attract a large number of fans
47. According to the passage, heroes are compared to high-voltage transformers in that ____.
A. they have a vision from the mountaintop
B. they have warm feelings and emotions
C. they can serve as concrete(具体的) examples of noble principles
D. they can make people feel stronger and more confident
48. Madonna and Michael Jackson are not considered heroes because ________.
A. they are popular on
B. their performances do not improve their fans morally
C. their primary concern is their own financial interests
D. they are not clear about the principles they should follow
49. Gandhi and Martin Luther King are typical examples of outstanding leaders who _____.
A. are good at demonstrating their charming characters
B. can move the masses with the skill and the charm
C. are capable of meeting all challenges and hardships
D. can provide an answer to the problems of their people
50. The author concludes that historical changes would ______.
A. be delayed without leaders with inspiring personal qualities
B. not happen without heroes making the necessary sacrifices
C. take place if there were heroes to lead the people
D. produce leaders with attractive personalities
答案：46—50 ACBBA
解析：46. A。细节判断题。从文中的“heroes around the world generally share a number of characteristics that instruct and inspire people”可以得出结论。47. C。英雄就像变压器，能“step it down so that it can be used by ordinary people”。48. B。因为虽然他们是“famous”，但是“who would claim that their fans find life more abundant?”。既然他们的歌迷的生活没有变得更有意义，也就是“do not improve their fans morally”。49. B。通过文章的结构来判断。“They have the skill and the charm to move the masses”是主题句，Gandhi and Martin Luther King等的事情是实例。50. A。细节判断题。文中有“without leaders…the pace of change would be slow”。
C

Those sickened by EV71 often show serious symptoms. It can also lead to meningitis, encephalitis, pulmonary edema and paralysis in some children. There is no vaccine.
The Health Ministry issued a circular(通告) late last month requiring better management and surveillance of the disease, as it expects more cases in the next few months.
The ministry asked hospitals for daily reports on the disease, and for local health departments to report emergencies promptly and increase investment in research into the disease.

解析：51. A。文中第一段有“with hand-foot-mouth disease (HFMD) continues to rise”。52. B。根据全国各地发病情况以及死亡人数可判断。53. D。根据文中的描述来判断：“Altogether 25 children have died…wenty-two of the deaths in…Anhui, and the rest in Guangdong.”。54. D。根据Fuyang的死亡人数中判断。55. D。文章中明确说明了“There is no vaccine.”。
