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【C1】________by the World Health Organization in 41 years.
    The heightened alert【C2】________an emergency meeting with flu experts in Geneva that convened after a sharp rise in cases in Australia, and rising【C3】________in Britain, Japan, Chile and elsewhere.
    But the epidemic is "【C4】________" in severity, according to Margaret Chan, the organization’s director general,【C5】________the overwhelming majority of patients experiencing only mild symptoms and a full recovery, often in the【C6】________of any medical treatment.
    The outbreak came to global【C7】________in late April 2009, when Mexican authorities noticed an unusually large number of hospitalizations and deaths【C8】________healthy adults. As much of Mexico City shut down at the height of a panic, cases began to【C9】________in New York City, the southwestern United States and around the world.
    In the United States, new cases seemed to fade【C10】________warmer weather arrived. But in late September 2009, officials reported there was【C11】________flu activity in almost every state and that virtually all the【C12】________ tested are the new swine flu, also known as (A) H1N1, not seasonal flu. In the U.S., it has【C13】________more than one million people, and caused more than 600 deaths and more than 6,000 hospitalizations.

【C15】
选项 A、placing
B、delivering
C、taking
D、giving
答案C
解析 本题考查动词辨析。动词的主语是Federal health officials(联邦卫生官员)。宾语是orders from the states(来自各州的订单)，动作的目标是for the new swine flu vaccine。根据这些已知信息，特别是宾语，最佳答案是C项taking(接收)，即接收各州的订单。其他选项例如B项delivering (交付，递送)和D项giving(给予)的意思是向外给予，搭配的介词应该是to而不是from，因此排除。A项placing（放置)和orders搭配是“订货”的意思，即向某人订货，此处指接收订单，因此也排除。
