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【B1】______by the World Health Organization in 41 years.
    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. In the U. S. , it has【B13】______more than one million people, and caused more than 600 deaths and more than 6, 000 hospitalizations.
    Federal health officials【B14】______Tamiflu for children from the national stockpile and began【B15】______orders from the slates for the new swine flu vaccine. The new vaccine, which is different from the annual flu vaccine, is【B16】______ahead of expectations. More than three million doses were to be made available in early October 2009, though most of those【B17】______doses were of the FluMist nasal spray type, which is not【B18】______for pregnant women, people over 50 or those with breathing difficulties, heart disease or several other【B19】______. But it was still possible to vaccinate people in other high-risk groups; health care workers, people【B20】______infants and healthy young people.
【B15】
选项 A、placing
B、delivering
C、taking
D、giving
答案C
解析 本题考查考生的上下文推理能力和词语搭配能力。本句讲美国联邦政府医疗卫生部门除了给儿童发放疫苗达菲之外的其他措施，此措施是针对美国各州的。考生应填入与orders搭配的动名词形式。从上下文可以知道，此处的orders是指新疫苗的订单。此题的四个选项中，[A]placing表示“放置”，[B]delivering表示“运送；给出”，[D]giving表示“给予”，均违背上下文逻辑，不符合题意。只有选项[C]taking为政府接受来自各州对于新疫苗的订单，以应对各州出现的甲流肆虐情况，与上下文相符。故选项[C]为正确答案。
