【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了联合国前秘书长安南的生平以及贡献。
41．考查介词。句意：前联合国秘书长、诺贝尔和平奖得主科菲·阿塔·安南去世，享年80岁。at the age of表示年龄，在…岁，故填at。
42．考查数词。第七任联合国秘书长，前面有 the 要用序数词。故填seventh。
43．考查不定式。句意：安南1938年出生于加纳，1997年至2006年担任第七任联合国秘书长，是第一位从联合国工作人员中脱颖而出的人。the first是序数词，序数词或有序数词修饰的名词后常用不定式作后置定语。故填to rise。
44．考查被动语态。主语Annan与谓语award之间是被动关系，用be done，根据时间状语in 2001可知，用过去时的被动语态，be用was。故填was awarded.
45．考查宾语从句。句意：安南是后来众所周知的千年发展目标的总设计师。这是个宾语从句，从句中缺少主语，结合句意可知，用what引导。故填what。
46．考查非谓语。介词in后面使用动名词做宾语，故填creating。
47．考查名词。根据many可知使用名词复数，故填organizations。
48．考查冠词。句意：美国前总统布什发表声明说：“劳拉和我向纳尼和安南的家人表达对安南逝世的哀悼”。根据句意可知，表示泛指，一份声明，故填a。
49．考查形容词。句意：他是一个温和的人，是联合国不知疲倦的领导人。修饰名词要用形容词作定语，根据句意可知，意为"不知疲倦的"，故填tireless。
50．考查代词。根据后面的名词短语voice of experience可知，要用形容词性物主代词修饰名词，指安南的经验之谈，故填His。
【点睛】
名词性从句关键在于三点：一、找准从句在主句中充当的成分即分出是名词性从句的主语从句、宾语从句、表语从句还是同位语从句。二、连接词在从句中充当的成分（主、宾、定或状语）三、弄清楚每个连接词的意义。此外还要注意，近年来高考对于名词性从句的考查多从名词性从句的语序和连接词的用法区别上考查。本题中的第5小题考查的是宾语从句，首先判断出这是个宾语从句，其次从句中缺少主语，最后结合句意可知，用what引导。
