Google Flu Trends uses the 【B3】______ of people to seek online help for their health problems.

    Google tested the idea in nine regions of the US and found it could accurately predict flu 【B7】______ between 7 and 14 days earlier than the federal centres for disease control and prevention. Google hopes the idea could also be used to help 【B8】______ other diseases. Flu Trends is limited 【B9】______ the US. Jeremy Ginsberg and Matt Mohebb, two software engineers【B10】______in the project, said that【B11】______in Google search queries can be very【B12】______. In a blog post on the project they wrote: "It turns【B13】______that traditional flu surveillance systems take 1 to 2 weeks to collect and【B14】______surveillance data but Google search queries can be【B15】______counted very quickly.

【B4】

选项 A、symptoms
B、diseases
C、targets
D、searches

答案D

解析 Google是搜索引擎,它就是通过跟踪像咳嗽、发烧或疼痛这样的信息搜索关键词来预测流感的。故D.searches“搜索”符合题意,为正确答案。symptom“症状”,disease“疾病”,target“目标”,三项均不符合题意。
