Better Control of TB Seen If a Faster Cure Is Found
The World Health Organization estimates that about one-third of all people are infected with bacteria that cause tuberculosis . Most times, the infection remains inactive. But each year about eight million people develop active cases of TB, usually in their【C1】______Two million people die【C2】______it. The disease has【C3】______with the spread of AIDS and drug-resistant forms of tuberculosis.
Current treatments take at least six months. People have to【C4】______a combination of several antibiotic drugs daily. But many people stop【C5】______they feel better. Doing that can【C6】______to an infection that resists treatment. Public health experts agree that a faster-acting cure for tuberculosis would be more effective. Now a study estimates just how【C7】______it might be. A professor of international health at Harvard University led the study. Joshua Salomon says a shorter treatment program would likely mean not just more patients【C8】______. It would also mean【C9】______infectious patients who can pass on their infection to others.
The researchers developed a mathematical model to examine the effects of a two-month treatment plan. They【C10】______the model with current TB conditions in Southeast Asia. The scientists found that a two-month treatment could prevent about twenty percent of new cases. And it might【C11】______about twenty-five percent of TB deaths. The model shows that these【C12】______would take place between two thousand twelve and two thousand thirty. That is, if a faster cure is developed and in wide use by two thousand twelve.

Earlier this year, an international partnership of organizations announced a plan to expand the DOTS program. The ten-year plan also aims to finance research【C15】______new TB drugs.

【C9】
选项
A、many
B、more
C、few
D、fewer
答案
D
解析
前句说到更多病人可以被治愈,根据推理,后句应该是“将感染传递给别人的传染病人就会更少”,因为前后两句实际上具有因果关系。这里必须用比较级fewer,因为fewr是表示“不多的,几乎没有的”(=not many),而fewer则只是与以前比较“更少”,并没有明确多少。
