Better Control of TB Seen If a Faster Cure Is Found
The World Health Organization estimates that about one-third of all people are infected with bacteria that cause tuberculosis. Most times, the infection remains inactive. But each year about eight million people develop active cases of TB, usually in their(51). Two million people die(52)it.

Current treatments take at least six months. Patients have to(54)a combination of several antibiotic drugs daily. But many people stop(55)they feel better.

Joshua Salomon says a shorter treatment program would likely mean not just more patients(58). It would also mean(59)infectious patients who can pass on their infection to others.

选项
A、many
B、more
C、few
D、fewer
答案
D
解析
前句说到更多病人可以被治愈,根据推理,后句应该是“将感染传递给别人的传染病人就会更少”,因为前后两句实际上具有因果关系。这里必须用比较级fewer,因为few是表示“不多的,几乎没有的”(=not many),而fewer则只是与以前比较“更少”,并没有明确多少。
