It’s now a fair bet that we will never see the total extinction of the smallpox virus. The idea was to cap the glorious achievement of 1980, when smallpox was eradicated in the wild, by destroying the killer virus in the last two labs that are supposed to have it -- one in the US and one in Russia. If smallpox had truly gone from the planet, what point was there in keeping these reserves?

选项 A、keep
B、put
C、destroy
D、eradicate
答案A
解析 “keep the virus”是“保存病毒”的意思。“put the virus”是不正确的，后面必须有地点状语。如：You can put the virus in a bottle．“destroy the virus”和“eradicate the virus”都是“消灭病毒”的意思，跟后半句话在意思上是矛盾的。
