For instance, in the 1990s, there was an【C4】______of hantavirus in New Mexico and nearby states. The sometimes-deadly disease【C5】______flulike symptoms and difficulty breathing. At the time, no one knew the【C6】______of the outbreak. Some people even suspected terrorists might have【C7】______the germs as a biological weapon.
But Robert Baker and his coworkers wondered if a rodent might be to【C8】______This biologist is a director at the Natural Science Research Laboratory at the Museum of Texas Tech University in Lubbock.

选项
A、dismiss
B、react
C、blame
D、challenge
答案
C
解析
“be to blame”的意思是“对某坏事应负责任”。本段的起始句是个转折,科学家怀疑传播病菌的罪魁祸首是啮齿目动物,所以应受责备,对此事负责任的应该是啮齿目动物,而不是恐怖主义者。固定搭配,不用其他选项中的词。
