Dowes Ginting, the most wanted man on Sumatra Island, lay dying. He had abandoned the hospital where he had seen his relatives succumb one after another, and he had fled deep into the mountains, trying to outrun the black magic that he feared had marked him next. For four nights, witnesses recalled, a witch doctor hovered over him in a small clapboard home, resisting the evil spell.
Ginting, a tough 32-year-old, had watched disease burn through his family over the previous two weeks, killing six and sickening two others, including himself. International health experts grew increasingly concerned when laboratory tests confirmed they were sickened by bird flu, the largest cluster of the disease ever recorded. But Dowes feared medical treatment more than he did the flu. And so he ran, potentially exposing villagers across the province to the highly lethal virus.
In the end, the outbreak in May did not predict the start of a worldwide epidemic. But the enormous difficulties that Indonesian and international disease specialists confronted in investigating the outbreak and protecting against its spread raised fundamental questions about whether bird flu could be contained when it converted into a form more easily spread among people.
"If this were a strain with sustainable transmission from human to human, I can’t imagine how many people would have died, how many lives would have been lost," said Surya Dharma, chief of communicable disease control in North Sumatra province.
Officials from the World Health Organization, drawing on sophisticated computer modeling of a theoretical bird flu outbreak in Southeast Asia, have suggested that an epidemic could be twisted through a rapid containment effort in the affected area, including the right mix of drugs, quarantines (隔离,封锁) and other social controls. To succeed, the antiviral drug Tamiflu would have to be distributed to 90 percent of the targeted population, roughly defined as those within at least a three-mile radius of each case. The drug would have to be administered within 21 days from the "timely detection" of the initial case of an epidemic strain. Residents would have to stay home, limit contact with others and take the medicine as prescribed.
In the case of the North Sumatra cluster, almost none of this happened, according to extensive interviews with health officers, family members and villagers in several areas of the province. The underlying problem was that most family members and many villagers were convinced that black magic not flu, was to blame.
"How can you ever get people to cooperate if they don’t even believe you?" Dharma said.
On the fourth night, unfortunately, Dowes took an abrupt turn for the worse. The medicine man repeated his treatment several times in the night. And before his uncle lugged him to his Suzuki SUV parked out front and set off for the district hospital, Dowes had died.
All the following measures are required to be taken to contain the bird flu except______.
选项
A、potentially dangerous population should stay isolated from other people
B、the antiviral drug doesn’t need to be distributed to a place four miles away
C、a large majority of the targeted population should get the antiviral drug
D、three weeks is the time limit to send the drug to the area exposed to virus
答案
B
解析
可定位在第5段第2句:To succeed,the antiviral drug Tamiflu would have to bedistributed…roughly defined as those within at least a three-mile radius of each case.可以得知药物应送至离发病区至少三英里的范围内,所以不能说四英里就不该得到药物,故B项为正确答案。也可采用排除法。根据“Residents would have to stay home,limit contact with others”,可排除选项A。根据“to 90 percent of the targeted population”,可排除C。根据“The drug would have to beadministered within 21 days”,可排除D项。
