问题     The outbreak of swine flu that was first detected in Mexico was declared a global epidemic on June 11, 2009. It is the first worldwide epidemic【C1】________by the World Health Organization in 41 years.
    The heightened alert【C2】________an emergency meeting with flu experts in Geneva that convened after a sharp rise in cases in Australia, and rising【C3】________in Britain, Japan, Chile and elsewhere.
    But the epidemic is "【C4】________" in severity, according to Margaret Chan, the organization’s director general,【C5】________the overwhelming majority of patients experiencing only mild symptoms and a full recovery, often in the【C6】________of any medical treatment.
    The outbreak came to global【C7】________in late April 2009, when Mexican authorities noticed an unusually large number of hospitalizations and deaths【C8】________healthy adults. As much of Mexico City shut down at the height of a panic, cases began to【C9】________in New York City, the southwestern United States and around the world.
    In the United States, new cases seemed to fade【C10】________warmer weather arrived. But in late September 2009, officials reported there was【C11】________flu activity in almost every state and that virtually all the【C12】________ tested are the new swine flu, also known as (A) H1N1, not seasonal flu. In the U.S., it has【C13】________more than one million people, and caused more than 600 deaths and more than 6,000 hospitalizations.
    Federal health officials【C14】________Tamiflu for children from the national stockpile and began【C15】________ orders from the states for the new swine flu vaccine. The new vaccine, which is different from the annual flu vaccine, is【C16】________ahead of expectations. More than three million doses were to be made available in early October 2009, though most of those【C17】________doses were of the FluMist nasal spray type, which is not 【C18】________for pregnant women, people over 50 or those with breathing difficulties, heart disease or several other【C19】________. But it was still possible to vaccinate people in other high-risk group: health care workers, people【C20】________infants and healthy young people.
【C1】
选项 A、criticized
B、appointed
C、commented
D、designated
答案D
解析 本题考查动词辨析。动词是被动语态，之前的主语线索是worldwide epidemic(全球瘟疫)，之后的线索是by the World Health Organization(通过世界卫生组织)。考生判断清楚“全球瘟疫”与“世界卫生组织”之间的关系就能确定正确的动词。其实本填空之前的文章首句中已经出现的一个原文动词与本填空的动词意义相同：文章首句中的动词declared与global epidemic构成搭配，而本填空的动词与worldwide epidemic构成搭配，global epidemic与worldwide epidemic是完全同义，本填空的动词与declared也是构成同义性的复现，四个选项中与declared意思类似的动词就应该是答案，显然本填空最佳答案是D项designated(认定，指定)，即是被世界卫生组织认定的全球瘟疫。A项criticized(批评)、B项appointed(任命)与worldwide epidemic、the World Health Organization均构不成有意义的搭配，而C项commented(评论)的意思不符合题意的要求。
