    The heightened alert【B2】______an emergency meeting with flu experts in Geneva that assembled after a sharp rise in cases in Australia, and rising【B3】______in Britain, Japan, Chile and elsewhere.
    But the epidemic is"【B4】______"in severity, according to Margaret Chan, the organization’s director general ,【B5】______the overwhelming majority of patients experiencing only mild symptoms and a full recovery, often in the【B6】______of any medical treatment.
    The outbreak came to global【B7】______in late April 2009, when Mexican authorities noted an unusually large number of hospitalizations and deaths【B8】______healthy adults. As much of Mexico City shut down at the height of a panic, cases began to【B9】______in New York City, the southwestern United States and around the world.
    In the United States, new cases seemed to fade【B10】______warmer weather arrived. But in late September 2009, officials reported there was【B11】______flu activity in almost every state and that virtually all the【B12】______tested are the new swine flu, also known as (A) H1N1 , not seasonal flu.

【B17】
选项 A、prevalent
B、principal
C、innovative
D、initial
答案D
解析 本题考查考生对上下文推理的能力和词汇掌握能力。考生应注意的是此题眼修饰的是those doses这里those指代上文中提到的10月初应该发放的300多万支喷雾型疫苗。从上下文可以推断到，这批疫苗应该是联邦政府发放的首批疫苗。选项[A]prevalent“盛行的；普遍的”，选项[B]principal“主要的”和选项[C]innovative“创新的”都不符合题意，而选项[D]initial“最初的，开始的”为正确答案。
