　　Questions 47 to 56 are based on the following passage.

　　The whole world put attention to the South Asia where the tsunami happened. Before, musicians produced a "sonic tsunami", Wall Street analysts 47 "tsunamis" of bad earnings news and Japanese restaurants served "tsunami" sushi rolls. The word was used in dozens of different 48 , but now it likely will appear with just one tragic meaning.

　　Because of the South Asian tsunami disaster that has killed more than 150,000 people, the word assumes a(n) 49 solemn use, much the way "Ground Zero", for the site of the World Trade Center, had its meaning 50 from "starting point" to the center of the Sept. 11 tragedy, said Paul Payack, head of Global Language Monitor. Payack said that since the Dec. 26 tsunami, the 51 word has appeared more than 18.5 million times and been the subject of 88,000 articles in major media.

　　"Before Sept. 11, 2001, the term ground zero was a business cliche meaning starting point, especially when 52 a project over again as in 'going back to ground zero'. That term now represents what many consider to be hallowed ground and its old usage is rarely 53 ," he said.

　　"In the same manner, we envision that the word tsunami will be the subject of considerable discretion before being used in any thing other than a most 54 manner," he said. Payack said thousands of 55 teams around the world use tsunami into their names, like the Tsunami Aquatics Swim team of Livermore, California.

　　He said there are also some 10,000 products called tsunami, like Tsunami Point-to-Point Wireless Bridges, Tsunami Multimedia Speakers and Tsunami Image Processors. Newspaper headline writers also liked the 56 word, as the Detroit News' "Ford Releases a Tsunami of New Products" and "Heading for the presidency on a tsunami of visions" in London's The Times.
