　　46.E。本文的标题是Heat Is Killer，通篇文章说的是heat的危害性及预防方法。空格前面的句子说，“Floods，storms，volcano eruptions and other natural events kill thousands ofpeople every year”，空格后面的句子说，“…heat may be nature’s deadliest killer”。将两个句子所表达的意思汇总来看，floods，storms，volcano eruptions和高温都是杀手，而高温更甚。空格的句子一定与“杀手”有关。五个选项中只有E符合这个条件，所以E是答案。

　　47.D。空格后面的句子提到heat waves，而选项D的句子中也出现heat wave，说明这两个句子在意义上有联系。空格中的句子应该是对heat wave下的定义，以便为下一句的展开作铺垫。故D是答案。

　　48.F。第一段末尾说：当黑夜与白天温差不大时，热浪对人体伤害很大。第二段就列举了许多保护自己免受高温伤害的方法。空格中的句子应该是位于段首的概括句。选项F说人们有多种办法保护自己，完全符合要求，因此F是答案。

　　49.C。紧跟该空格后面的句子中有特指的the pain，说明前文一定出现过pain这个词。选项C的句子中有pain，且C的句子填入后，上下文意思连贯，所以C是答案。

　　50.A。空格前面的句子说：某些人在热浪期问特别危险。读者或许会问，是哪些人呢?选项A回答了这个问题，所以A是答案。
