解析:
51.D [解析]豬流感是swine flu。文中出現(xiàn)過多次。
52.B[解析]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。所以選B。
53.B[解析]學(xué)校里的學(xué)生有了流感樣的癥狀,肯定是沒能上學(xué)。
54.D[解析]從上下文可以看出,紐約衛(wèi)生官員檢驗了8名學(xué)生的血樣后斷定他們很可能是患上了豬流感。suffer from意為患……病。
55.C [解析]疾病防控中心對紐約衛(wèi)生官員的診斷予以證實。diagnosis是"診斷"的意思。
56.A [解析]顯然此處應(yīng)為確診的豬流感患者數(shù)量the number of confirmed swine fluCases。
57.B [解析]從上文和接下來的"no sign"就可以推斷出此處應(yīng)為同樣的表達方式。sign意為跡象。
58.B [解析]其他學(xué)校沒有爆發(fā)豬流感的跡象。
59.C [解析]學(xué)校的一些學(xué)生是在墨西哥度的春假。spring break指春假。"度假"用動詞spend。
60.B [解析]從上下文可知,*尚未確定被確診為豬流感的學(xué)生中是否有誰去過墨西哥。
61.A[解析]從上下文可知,某位去墨西哥旅游的學(xué)生自己可能沒有表現(xiàn)出任何流感癥狀,但卻把流感傳給了其他人。
62.B [解析]生病在家的學(xué)生在癥狀消退后,繼續(xù)在家觀察48小時。stay home呆在家里。
63.A[解析]接下來一句說,如果癥狀嚴重,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。There is no:need to do sth.沒必要做某事。
64.B [解析]as with的意思是"和……一樣;正如"。
65.D [解析]從后面的"responded"一詞可以推斷出前面應(yīng)該是"被問到",即"Asked"。
參考譯文
紐約甲型H1Nl流感
紐約市長邁克爾·布隆伯格周日稱,疾病預(yù)防控制中心已經(jīng)證實來自紐約一所預(yù)備學(xué)校的八名學(xué)生感染甲型N1H1流感。他說這幾名學(xué)生只是有輕微癥狀,沒有一名被送往醫(yī)院。部分學(xué)生已經(jīng)痊愈。
布隆伯格說,上周100多名學(xué)生因類似該流感的癥狀而不能上學(xué)。紐約市衛(wèi)生官員周六對8名學(xué)生的血樣進行了檢驗,得出結(jié)論:這幾名學(xué)生很可能患有豬流感,疾病預(yù)防控制中心周日證實了這一診斷。
公告將美國確診的豬流感病例的數(shù)字上升到20例。布隆伯格說,現(xiàn)在并沒有爆發(fā)全市流感的跡象,也沒有跡象表明潛在甲型H1N1流感會在其他學(xué)校爆發(fā)。
布隆伯格說,這所學(xué)校的一些學(xué)生在墨西哥度過了春假,但是美國*并不確定這些被確診患有豬流感的學(xué)生中是否有人在墨西哥度過春假。去過墨西哥的人可能并沒有任何的流感癥狀,但卻把流感傳給了別人。
布隆伯格號召生病在家的學(xué)生在癥狀消退后,繼續(xù)在家觀察48小時。
布隆伯格說,如果癥狀屬于普通流感,就沒有必要去醫(yī)院。如果癥狀加重,就如患有任何疾病一樣,病人必須去醫(yī)院就診。
