第二篇 8 New York Students Have Swine Flu
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has confirmed 1 of swine flu in eight students at a New York preparatory school, Mayor Michael Bloomberg said Sunday. The students have had only 2 symptoms and none have been hospitalized, he said. Some of the students have already recovered.
More than 100 students were absent from 3 due to flu-like symptoms last week. New York health officials tested samples for eight students Saturday and determined the students were probably 4 from swine flu, and the CDC confirmed the 5 on Sunday, Bloomberg said.
The announcement brings the 6 of confirmed swine flu cases in the United States to 20. Bloomberg and New York Health Commissioner Tom Frieden said there is no 7 of a citywide outbreak of the flu, and no sign of a potential 8 of swine flu at other schools.
Some students at the school 9 spring break1 in Mexico, Bloomberg said,but authorities have not determined 10 any of the students with a confirmed case of swine flu was in Mexico. Someone who traveled to Mexico may not have had any flu symptoms but 11 on the flu to someone else, he noted.
Frieden called 12 students who are home sick to stay home for 48 hours after their symptoms subside.
If symptoms are normal for a regular kind of flu, there is 13 need to go to a hospital, said Bloomberg. If symptoms become severe, as with any 14 , people should go to the hospital, he said.
St. Francis, which has 2,700 students, announced it will remain closed for two days. 15 whether the students' illnesses have been minor because they're young and healthy or because it is a minor strain of the virus, Frieden responded, "We don't know."

答案與題解
1. A 從短文的題目可以看出，紐約有8 名學(xué)生患了豬流感，所以此處應(yīng)為流感病例。
2. C 從上下文得知，患病的學(xué)生中沒有人住院，有一些已經(jīng)康復(fù)，因此他們的癥狀應(yīng)該是比較輕的。
3. C 學(xué)校里的學(xué)生有了流感樣的癥狀，肯定是沒能上學(xué)。
4. D 從上下文可以看出，紐約衛(wèi)生官員檢驗(yàn)了8 名學(xué)生的血樣后斷定他們很可能是患上了豬流感。
5. B 疾病防控中心對紐約衛(wèi)生官員的診斷予以證實(shí)。
6. B 顯然此處應(yīng)為確診的豬流感患者數(shù)量。
7. D 從上下文和接下來的"no sign"就可以推斷出此處應(yīng)為同樣的表達(dá)方式。
8. B 從上下文和前面的"outbreak"就可以推斷出此處應(yīng)為同樣的表達(dá)方式。
9. A 學(xué)校的一些學(xué)生是在墨西哥度的春假。
10. D 從上下文可知，*尚未確定確診為豬流感的學(xué)生中是否有誰去過墨西哥。

12. C 呼吁某人做某事用英語表達(dá)應(yīng)為：call on somebody to do something：
13. A 接下來一句說，如果癥狀嚴(yán)重，人們應(yīng)該去醫(yī)院。這是一個轉(zhuǎn)折句，因此前面的句子應(yīng)該相反，即沒有必要上醫(yī)院。
14. D 不僅是流感，而是任何疾病，只要癥狀加重，都應(yīng)該去醫(yī)院。
15. A 從后面的"responded"一詞可以斷定前面應(yīng)該是"被問到"，即"Asked"。
