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.

【B13】
选项 A、imparted
B、immersed
C、injected
D、infected
答案D
解析 本题考查考生对上下文的理解能力和对词汇的掌握。此处要填入的是与caused并列的谓语动词，题眼所在的分句中提到100万人，caused所在的分句中提到600多人死亡和6000多人入院，所以此选项应该是与caused近义的动词，并且适用于医疗语境。选项[A]imparted表示“告知；赋予”，选项[B]immersed表示“使……沉浸于”，选项[c]injected表示“注射”，选项[D]infected表示“传染、感染”。选项[C]和[D]适用于医疗语境，而此处主语是流感(it指代前句中的the new swine flu)，所以根据上下文应填入选项[D]infected。整句话的意思是“这种新流感传染了100多万人，并导致600多人死亡，6000多人入院。”
