The H1N1 flu virus that has spread around the world is especially risky for pregnant women. If they become infected, especially after the first three months of pregnancy, they can get very sick or even die. Pregnant women face an increased risk even during outbreaks of seasonal flu. But the new H1N1 flu has been affecting a younger age group than seasonal flu epidemics.
The WHO says treatment should begin immediately and not wait for the results of laboratory tests. The effects are greatest when given within 48 hours. But experts say the medicine could still do some good even if there is a delay.
The World Health Organization has predicted that the H1N1 virus will infect at least two billion people in the next two years. In the United States, there are now guidelines for the use of H1N1 vaccine. The WHO said there are five groups that should be vaccinated first. These include pregnant women and people who live with or care for children younger than six months. They also include workers in health care and emergency services, and people between six months and 24 years of age. The fifth group on the list is people 25 to 64 with chronic health problems.
22.According to the passage, which group is especially at risk when facing the H1N1 flu?
A) Young children. B) The aged. C) Pregnant women.
D) People with health problems.
正确答案为 C 你没有作答。 解析:
音频中提到H1N1流感病毒已经在全世界范围内传播,孕妇尤其危险(The H1N1 flu virus that has spread around the world is especially risky for pregnant women),由此不难得出答案,所以选C。 23.According to WHO, what should be done if one is infected with H1N1?
A) Giving the patient treatment immediately. B) Waiting for the results of laboratory tests. C) Isolating the patient from others. D) Contacting the patient's family.
正确答案为 A 你没有作答。 解析:
音频中提到世界卫生组织称,治疗工作应该立即展开,而不是等着实验室中的结果(The WHO says treatment should begin immediately and not wait for the results of laboratory tests),由此可以得出,世界卫生组织认为人一旦感染了H1N1就应当立即进行治疗,所以选A。
24.How many people are estimated to be infected with H1N1 in the next two years?
A) Two billion.
B) Two million. C) Twenty million. D) Twelve billion.
正确答案为 A 你没有作答。 解析:
音频中提到世界卫生组织预计,在未来的两年中H1N1流感病毒会传染至少二十亿人(The World Health Organization has predicted that the H1N1 virus will infect at least two billion people in the next two years),由此不难得出答案,所以选A。
25.Which one of the following belongs to the five easily-infected groups mentioned by the WHO?
A) Workers in health care and restaurants. B) Workers in emergency services and universities. C) Workers in restaurants and universities. D) Workers in health care and emergency services.

It's not unusual for people to feel a pain directly behind their breastbone and think that it can't be their heart, because everyone knows that is in the left side of the chest.
It's not unusual, but it's wrong. While people think that the problem is in their airways, it is often (36)actually their heart, Helmut Gohlke of the German Association says.
The (37)condition , known as angina (心绞痛), reveals itself as pain behind the breastbone. It's an illness where the blood (38)flow to the heart muscle is restricted. If not (39)recognized and treated in a timely manner, it can lead to a heart attack and death.
The pain behind the breastbone radiates mostly to the throat, the upper abdomen and the left arm. It is (40)typically described as a dull, wearing feeling of compression, says Christian Hamm of the German Heart Association. Women often (41)complain about lack of air. All those suffering say the pain comes suddenly and in (42)intervals but does not last for days on end.
Steady forms of angina are (43)prompted by exertion (努力,费力), like physical work or stress. \
Things are reversed in the more (44)dangerous , unstable form of the disease. The pain appears out of nowhere, meaning there is a danger of a coming heart attack due to the complete blockage (堵塞) of a blood vessel. Both forms require a(n) (45)immediate trip to the doctor. A) intervals B) obvious C) recognized D) prompted E) actually F) times G) transforms H) immediate I) flow J) complain K) dangerous L) inspired M) typically N) sometimes O) condition
36.正确答案为 E) actually 你没有作答。
解析:E) actually
actually:逻辑关系题。一般情况下,句子中有while,后半句要表示与前半句相反的意思,前面提到人们认为是呼吸道出了问题,而实际上通常是他们的心脏,句子结构完整,不缺少成分,因此空格处需要一个副词表示“实际上地,事实上地”意思,选项中只有actually符合题意,所以此处填入actually。 condition:句子结构和句子意思题。句子中谓语动词是reveals,itself是宾语,known是非谓语动词形式,缺少主语成分,此处要表达的意思是这种情况被认为是心绞痛??,因此空格处应该填入一个名词作句子的主语并表示“情况,情形”的意思,所以此处填入condition。
flow:词组题。Blood flow为固定词组,表示“血流”的意思,所以此处填入flow。
recognized:上下文联系题。上文介绍了名为心绞痛的病症,根据上下文的关系,此处要表达的是如果(这种病)没有被识别或治疗的话??,因此空格处需要一个动词的过去分词形式表示“被识别,被认清”的意思,选项只有recognized符合题意,所以填入recognized。
typically:句子意思和句子结构题。此处主要表示的是人患心绞痛时的感觉,句意是它被典型地形容为一种无精打采、心烦意乱的压抑感,因此空格处需要填入一个副词来修饰后面的described,表示“典型地,具有代表性地”的意思,所以此处填入typically。
complain:固定搭配题。此句要表达的是女性通常抱怨缺少空气,根据对句子的理解,空格处需要填入一个动词与后面的about组成固定搭配表示“抱怨”的意思,选项中只有complain符合题意,所以此处填入complain。
intervals:句子结构和句子意思题。此句要表达的意思是心绞痛会有间隔地和突然地发病,但其并不会持续很多天,此句中介词in后面要接名词并表示“间隔”的意思,选项中只有intervals符合题意,所以此处填入intervals。
prompted:句子意思题。此句要表达的意思是固定的心绞痛是由类似费力的体力劳动或压力而引起的,因此空格出要填入一个动词的过去分词形式表示“被??激起,引起”的意思,选项中只有prompted符合题意,所以此处填入prompted。
dangerous:上下文联系题。下文提到了由于血管的完全堵塞会诱发心脏病,根据上下文的联系,空格处要表达的意思是会有更危险和不确定的发病情形,因此空格处填入的形容词要表示“危险的”意思,所以此处填入dangerous。
immediate:句子意思和句子结构题。此句要表达的意思是这两种情形都需要立即去看医生,因此空格处需要填入一个形容词修饰后面的trip表示“立即的,立刻的”意思,选项中只有immediate符合题意,所以此处填入immediate。
37.正确答案为 O) condition 你没有作答。 解析:O) condition 略
