　　正確答案：ADBCF

　　解析：

　　46.前一句提到了巴菲特的個人資產總值達到約620億美元，居福布斯富豪榜榜首，后一句提到了而連續13年蟬聯首富桂冠的蓋茨則首次“讓位”，以資產總值約為580億美元屈居第三。所以本句應該是居第二位的富豪的信息，所以A選項“墨西哥通信業大亨卡洛斯?斯利姆以600億美元的資產總值名列第二”最合適。

　　47.下一句“因為目前正值金融市場大動蕩，而且巴菲特開始將其部分財產捐作慈善用途”提到了原因，本句應該是一種現象，而且和巴菲特有關，所以D選項“《福布斯》指出，巴菲特躍至世界首富尤其令人關注”最合適。

　　48.前一句是《福布斯》執行總裁史蒂夫?福布斯說的話，本句是遞進的用法，選項B中的he指代的是福布斯的總裁，also表示遞進的關系，所以B選項“而且他還指出，巴菲特的資產總值去年增加了100億美元”最合適。

　　49.前面提到了2006年6月，巴菲特宣布將其85%的資產捐給比爾/梅琳達?蓋茨基金會及四個家庭慈善機構的計劃。上一句提到了巴菲特和蓋茨的關系，所以本句應該提到蓋茨和慈善的關系，因此C選項“蓋茨也向基金會捐了一大筆財產”最合適。

　　50.因為下一句提到了Tsutsumi，所以本句應該和Tsutsumi有關，因此F選項“自從1995年將日本地產大亨Tsutsumi拉下馬后，蓋茨一直穩坐世界首富寶座”最合適。
