The outbreak of swine flu that was first detected in Mexico was declared a global epidemic on June 11, 2009. It was the first worldwide epidemic【1】by the World Health Organization in 41 years.
The heightened alert【2】an emergency meeting with flue experts in Geneva that assembled after a sharp rise in cases in Australia, and rising【3】in Britain, Japan, Chile and elsewhere.
But the epidemic is "【4】" in severity, according to Margaret Chan, the organization’s director general,【5】the overwhelming majority of patients experiencing only mild symptoms and a full recovery, often in the【6】of any medical treatment.
The outbreak came to global【7】in late April 2009, when Mexican authorities noted an unusually large number of hospitalizations and deaths【8】healthy adults. As much of Mexico City shut down at the height of a panic, cases began to【9】in New York City, the southwestern United States and around the world.
In the United States, new cases seemed to fade【10】warmer weather arrived. But in late September 2009, officials reported there was【11】flu activity in almost every state and that virtually all the【12】tested are the new swine flu, also known as(A)H1N1, not seasonal flu. In the U.S., it has【13】more than one million people, and caused more than 600 deaths and more than 6,000 hospitalizations.
Federal health officials【14】Tamiflu for children from the national stockpile and began【15】orders from the states for the new swine flue vaccine. The new vaccine, which is different from the annual flu vaccine, is【16】ahead of expectation. More than three million doses were to be made available in early October 2009, though most of those【17】doses were of the FluMist nasal spray type, which is not【18】for pregnant women, people of 50 or those with breathing difficulties, heart disease or several other【19】.

选项
A、moderate
B、normal
C、unusual
D、extreme
答案
A
解析
词汇题(词义选择)。卜文提到甲型H1N1病例数激增的事实,空格所在句首的but表转折意,本句内容涉及这种流行病的严重程度(in severity),由此可以推断空格中需要“不严重”等类似含义。A项moderate意为“适度的,不很大的”,符合题意,为本题答案:B项normal意为“正常的,常态的”,不符合题意;C项unusual意为“非凡的,不同寻常的”,不符合题意:D项extreme意为“极端的,极其的”,不符合题意。本空格所在句子后半部分的mild与moderate同义,对本题答案有提示作用。
