A pair of dice, rolled again and again, will eventually produce two sixes. Similarly, the virus that causes influenza is constantly changing at random and, one day, will mutate in a way that will enable it to infect billions of people, and to kill millions. Many experts now believe a global outbreak of pandemic flu is overdue, and that the next one could be as bad as the one in 1918, which killed somewhere between 25m and 50m people. Today however, advances in medicine offer real hope that another such outbreak can be
contained
—if governments start preparing now.
New research published this week suggests that a relatively small stockpile of an anti-viral drug—as little as 3 m doses—could be enough to limit sharply a flu pandemic if the drugs were deployed quickly to people in the area surrounding the initial outbreak. The drug’s manufacturer, Roche, is talking to the World Health Organisation about donating such a stockpile.
This is good news. But much more needs to be done, especially with a nasty strain of avian flu spreading in Asia which could mutate into a threat to humans. Since the SARS outbreak in 2003 a few countries have developed plans in preparation for similar episodes. But progress has been shamefully patchy, and there is still far too little international co-ordination.
A global stockpile of drugs alone would not be of much use without an adequate system of surveillance to identify early cases and a way of delivering treatment quickly. If an outbreak occurred in a border region, for example, a swift response would most likely depend on prior agreements between different countries about quarantine and containment.
Reaching such agreements is rarely easy, but that makes the task all the more urgent. Rich countries tend to be better prepared than poor ones, but this should be no consolation to them. Flu does not respect borders. It is in everyone’s interest to make sure that developing countries, especially in Asia, are also well prepared. Many may bridle at interference from outside. But if richer nations were willing to donate anti-viral drugs and guarantee a supply of any vaccine that becomes available, poorer nations might be willing to reach agreements over surveillance and preparedness.
Simply sorting out a few details now will have lives (and recriminations) later. Will there be enough ventilators, makes and drugs? Where will people be treated if the hospitals overflow? Will food be delivered as normal? Too many countries have no answers to these questions.
According to the text, which of the followings is not readily made?
选项
A、Publications of new research with respect to the supply of the interference from outside.
B、Construction of an adequate system of surveillance of early influenza cases.
C、Availability of anti-viral drugs and any vaccine in underdeveloped nations.
D、Contracts between various nations concerning quarantine and containment.
答案
D
解析
这是一道细节题,测试考生对原文细节的准确理解和推导的能力。本题的答案信息来源在第五段的首句和第四段的尾句。第五段的首句讲:“达成这样的协定不大容易……”“这样的协定”(such agreements)指的是第四段尾句中的“prior agreements between different countries about quarantine and containment”(事先在国家之间签订的有关卫生检疫和控制的协议)。由此可以推断本题的正确选项是D“Contracts between various nations concerning quarantine and containment.”(国家间有关卫生检疫和控制的协议)。考生在审题定位时一定要重视题干中的核心词语在原文中的定位,例如本题题干中的“not readily”相当于原文中的“rarely easy”。
