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.
    Federal health officials【C14】________Tamiflu for children from the national stockpile and began【C15】________ orders from the states for the new swine flu vaccine. The new vaccine, which is different from the annual flu vaccine, is【C16】________ahead of expectations. More than three million doses were to be made available in early October 2009, though most of those【C17】________doses were of the FluMist nasal spray type, which is not 【C18】________for pregnant women, people over 50 or those with breathing difficulties, heart disease or several other【C19】________. But it was still possible to vaccinate people in other high-risk group: health care workers, people【C20】________infants and healthy young people.
【C14】
选项 A、released
B、relayed
C、relieved
D、remained
答案A
解析 本题考查动词。此动词的主语是. Federal health officials(联邦卫生官员)，宾语是Tamiflu(一种流感药品)，动作的目标是for children。from the national stockpile。根据这些原文已知信息基本可以猜出本动词的意思应该是向儿童发放药品，四个选项中能够表达此意思的动词为A项released(释放，发放)。其他选项例如B项relayed(转播；传送)、C项relieved(缓解)和D项remained(留下，保持)无法与主语(联邦卫生官员)和宾语(一种流感药品)之间构成有逻辑意义的搭配。
