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.
【B19】
选项 A、problems
B、issues
C、agonies
D、sufferings
答案A
解析 本题考查考生的上下文联系能力以及词汇辨析能力。本句中有一个明显表示并列的连词or，提示此处要填入的词与前面的breathing difficulties(呼吸困难)和heart disease(心脏病)并列，即表示其他疾病。四个选项看似均表示问题或痛苦，但是选项[B]表示“引起争议的问题”，选项[C]表示“极度痛苦”，选项[D]表示“痛苦，疼痛”，都不能确切代表“疾病”。只有选项[A]problems“问题。困难”可以用于指疾病，所以选项[A]为正确答案。
