It seems that fear is the dominant mood of the moment. Hurricanes, tidal waves, floods, earthquakes and terrorism this year have all brought with them not only appalling scenes of devastation, death and suffering, but also outrage at the lack of preparations to avoid or cope with these disasters. Now even the birds of the air are a threat, we are told. That migrating flock visible on the horizon at sunset, once a consoling reminder of the eternal rhythms of nature, could be carrying the virus which might soon kill tens of millions of people.
Given the many fingers pointed at governments in the wake of other disasters this year, it is not surprising at all that they are scrambling to respond to the threat posed by avian influenza. After confirmation this week that the H5N1 strain of bird flu, which has been spreading quickly in Asia, had been discovered in Romania and perhaps Greece, European Union foreign ministers convened an emergency meeting. President George Bush, still smarting from a torrent of criticism of his government’s inefficient response to Hurricane Katrina, has promised to rush out emergency plans for coping with an outbreak of pandemic flu which have been stalled for years. Countries around the world are hurrying to stockpile the only current antiviral drug, Tamiflu, which might be effective in saving lives in any pandemic or curbing its spread. The World Health Organisation is calling for an internationally co-ordinated effort. Health ministers from around the globe are due to meet next week in Canada to discuss what measures to take.
Is any of this effort justified? Or are politicians simply helping to feed public panic, and then covering themselves by promising to spend lavishly against a threat which may never materialize and to reduce a risk which they do not understand? To ask these questions is not to counsel complacency, but to apply the kind of test which is required in any kind of disaster planning, not least because the world is an inherently dangerous place and it is impossible to plan against every possible disaster. With the media full of warnings of impending mass death, an overreaction is all too possible.
According to the text, American emergency plans for dealing with an outbreak of pandemic flu
选项
A、have been stipulated.
B、have been enacted.
C、have been abolished.
D、have been delayed.
答案
D
解析
这是一道细节题。本文第二段的第三句是本题题干出现的位置,也是本题正确答案的信息来源。该剧中的定语从句“which have been stalled for years”(被延迟了许多年)限定修饰“emergency plans for dealingwith an outbreak of pandemic flu”(应对流感爆发的紧急计划)。显而易见,本题的正确选项是D“have beendelayed”(一直被拖延)。
