问题     The outbreak of swine flu that was first detected in Mexico was declared a global epidemic on June 11, 2009. It is the first worldwide epidemic【C1】________by the World Health Organization in 41 years.
    The heightened alert【C2】________an emergency meeting with flu experts in Geneva that convened after a sharp rise in cases in Australia, and rising【C3】________in Britain, Japan, Chile and elsewhere.
    But the epidemic is "【C4】________" in severity, according to Margaret Chan, the organization’s director general,【C5】________the overwhelming majority of patients experiencing only mild symptoms and a full recovery, often in the【C6】________of any medical treatment.
    The outbreak came to global【C7】________in late April 2009, when Mexican authorities noticed an unusually large number of hospitalizations and deaths【C8】________healthy adults. As much of Mexico City shut down at the height of a panic, cases began to【C9】________in New York City, the southwestern United States and around the world.
    In the United States, new cases seemed to fade【C10】________warmer weather arrived. But in late September 2009, officials reported there was【C11】________flu activity in almost every state and that virtually all the【C12】________ tested are the new swine flu, also known as (A) H1N1, not seasonal flu. In the U.S., it has【C13】________more than one million people, and caused more than 600 deaths and more than 6,000 hospitalizations.
    Federal health officials【C14】________Tamiflu for children from the national stockpile and began【C15】________ orders from the states for the new swine flu vaccine. The new vaccine, which is different from the annual flu vaccine, is【C16】________ahead of expectations. More than three million doses were to be made available in early October 2009, though most of those【C17】________doses were of the FluMist nasal spray type, which is not 【C18】________for pregnant women, people over 50 or those with breathing difficulties, heart disease or several other【C19】________.

【C7】

选项 A、reality
B、phenomenon
C、concept
D、notice

答案D

解析 本填空考查名词辨析。此名词与come to构成惯用搭配,首先排除B项phenomenon (现象)和C项concept(概念),因为这两个名词无法构成有意义的搭配,剩下两个选项构成的搭配是:come to reality(成为现实)、come to notice(受到关注)。本填空之后的when在这里引导的既是时间关系也是条件关系,即“在墨西哥政府注意到健康的成年人中出现了非同寻常的大量就医和死亡的情况时”,根据这个条件可以判断出答案为D项notice(注意),即疫情被全球关注。同时该句中的noticed也提示了本填空的最佳答案为同义复现的D项notice(注意)。
