JOHN SNOW DEFEATS “KING CHOLERA”
Cholera 1.___________________(曾经是) one of the most feared diseases in the world, until a British doctor, John Snow, showed how it could be overcome. This illness causes severe diarrhoea, dehydration, and even death. In the early 19th century, when 2._____________________(疟疾爆发) hit Europe, millions of people 3.______________(死于) the disease. As a young doctor, John Snow became frustrated because no one knew how to prevent or treat cholera. 4._______________(一段时间之后;最终), he 5._____________(升职;提升) become a famous doctor, and even attended to Queen Victoria when she gave birth. However, he never lost his desire to destroy cholera 6.________________________(彻底地).
In general, doctors in those days had 7.__________________________(两个对立的理论) to explain how cholera spread. One theory was that bad air caused the disease. Another was that cholera was caused by an infection from germs in food or water. Snow 8._________________(同意) the second theory. It was correct, but he still 9.______________(需要证据). 10._______________(于是), when an outbreak of cholera hit London in 1854, Snow began to investigate. He discovered that in two particular streets the cholera outbreak was so severe that more than 500 people died in ten days. He 11.__________________(下定决心) find out why.
Snow began by marking on a map the exact places where all those who died had lived. There were 12._______________(多例死亡) near the water pump in Broad Street (especially house numbers 16, 37, 38, and 40). However, some households (such as 20 and 21 Broad Street, and 8 and 9 Cambridge Street) had had no deaths. These people worked in the pub at 7 Cambridge Street. They had been given free beer, and so had not drunk the water from the pump. Snow suspected that the water pump 13._________________(是罪魁祸首;应该承担责任). What is more, in another part of London, a woman and her daughter had died of cholera after moving away from Broad Street. It seemed that the woman liked the water from the pump so much that she had it delivered to her house every day. As a result of this evidence, John Snow was able to announce that the pump water carried cholera germs. Accordingly, he had the handle of the pump removed so that it could not be used. Through this intervention, the disease was stopped in its tracks.
The truth was that the water from the Broad Street pump 14.__________________(被废弃物污染了). Moreover, Snow was later able to show a link between other cases of cholera and the different water companies in London. Some companies sold water from the River Thames that was polluted by 15.________________(未经处理的废物). The people who drank this water were 16.____________________(更有可能) to get cholera than those who drank pure or boiled water.
Through Snow’s 17.___________________(不懈的努力), water companies began to sell clean water and the threat of cholera around the world saw 18.__________________(明显减少). However, cholera is still a problem. Each year, millions of people around the world get cholera and many die from it. Fortunately, we now know how to prevent cholera, thanks to the work of John Snow. Moreover, in his use of maps and statistics, Snow transformed the way scientists study diseases. For this reason, Snow 19._________________(被认为是) the father of modern epidemiology.

VI. 话题语篇泛读
Flu, MERS and Ebola –the disease outbreaks most frequently reported
Globally, influenza has been responsible for more outbreaks than any other infectious disease over the past 23 years, followed by Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) and Ebola, finds an analysis of disease reports by the World Health Organization (WHO). The study also reveals the subjective way in which disease outbreaks are often reported, suggesting that this can affect how resources are allocated.
Public-health authorities use several data sources to track infectious-disease outbreaks, but the WHO’s Disease Outbreak News (DON) is one of the most influential. Global-health researcher Rebecca Katz at Georgetown University in Washington DC and her colleagues collected all 2,789 DON reports issued between 1996 and 2019 in a searchable database. The database includes the metadata pulled from each report, such as the location of the outbreak, type of disease and timeframe over which it progressed.
The researchers found that in most years, influenza, especially the H5N1 variant, was reported at the highest frequency of any infectious disease — 776 outbreaks have been documented since 1996. China reported the most outbreaks — 262 in total, of which 218 were of influenza — followed by Saudi Arabia, which documented MERS 179 times, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, which reported 105 Ebola outbreaks (See ‘Disease outbreaks’). Few reports were associated with countries in Eastern Europe.
Katz says that the diversity in reporting patterns results from the disparate surveillance capacities of various countries, along with the diseases that national health authorities prioritize and, ultimately, what the WHO decides to concern itself with. “There are a lot of humans involved here, and humans are making different calls,” she says. For instance, Ebola is reported much more often than other haemorrhagic fevers that periodically erupt in Africa.
Other variations can be explained by the quality of country’s health systems. For example, Egypt has reported 115 outbreaks — mostly of influenza — in the 23-year time span that Katz’s team analysed. But no outbreaks have ever been reported by nearby Libya, which has an underfunded and unstable health system as a result of two civil wars during that period. Timothy Brewer, an infectious-disease researcher at the University of California, Los Angeles, says the analysis also shows that the WHO cannot track all outbreaks around the world, and so must pick and choose.
The team’s searchable database could be a useful tool in providing verified information about large outbreaks and documenting the history of infectious diseases, says Mark Smolinski, president of the non-profit organization Ending Pandemics in San Francisco, California. Having transparent, complementary outbreak-reporting systems is an important goal, he adds. “The faster we find out there’s a real threat anywhere around the world and make that information available, the better off we all are.”
The database will allow researchers to look at the factors that determine how much money is spent to suppress a specific outbreak, or how external circumstances such as conflicts or weather events affect them, says Katz. However, the study notes that DON reports do not mention all known outbreaks in every region.
Katz says the WHO could improve the DON reports by increasing transparency around how it prioritizes the thousands of notifications it receives, creating more-specific criteria for an outbreak’s inclusion, and adding information about contextual factors such as climate hazards or outbreaks in animal populations.
A spokesperson for the WHO said it is drafting a publication detailing its decision-making process and criteria for DON reports, as well as restructuring its website to make the reports easier to search. The agency adds that it standardized the structure and format of the DON reports in 2021 — after the period that Katz’s study analysed. “WHO is a learning organization, and this extends to the DON,” the WHO wrote in a statement.
世界卫生组织(WHO)对疾病报告的分析发现,在全球范围内,流感在过去23年里造成的疾病爆发比任何其他传染病都多,其次是中东呼吸道综合征(MERS)和埃博拉。该研究还揭示了疾病爆发的主观报告方式,表明这可能影响资源的分配。
公共卫生部门使用几个数据源来跟踪传染病的爆发,但世卫组织的《疾病爆发新闻》(DON)是最有影响力的一个。华盛顿特区乔治敦大学的全球卫生研究员Rebecca Katz和她的同事在一个可搜索的数据库中收集了1996年至2019年间发布的所有2789份DON报告。该数据库包括从每份报告中提取的元数据,如疫情爆发的地点、疾病类型和疾病发展的时间框架。
研究人员发现,在大多数年份,流感,特别是H5N1变种,在所有传染病中被报告的频率最高--自1996年以来,有776次爆发被记录下来。中国报告了最多的疫情--总共262起,其中218起是流感--其次是沙特阿拉伯,它记录了179次MERS,以及刚果民主共和国,它报告了105起埃博拉疫情(见“疾病爆发”)。很少有报告与东欧国家有关。Katz说,报告模式的多样性源于各国不同的监测能力,以及国家卫生当局优先考虑的疾病,并最终取决于世卫组织决定关注什么。她说:“这里涉及到很多人,而人在做出不同的判断。”例如,埃博拉的报告比非洲定期爆发的其他出血性热病要频繁得多。
其他变化可以由国家卫生系统的质量来解释。例如,在Katz团队分析的23年时间里,埃及报告了115次疫情爆发--大部分是流感。但是附近的利比亚从未报告过疫情,由于在此期间发生了两次内战,该国的卫生系统资金不足且不稳定。加州大学洛杉矶分校的传染病研究员Timothy Brewer说,这项分析还表明,世卫组织无法追踪世界各地的所有疫情,因此必须有所选择。
加利福尼亚州旧金山的非营利组织Ending Pandemics的主席Mark Smolinski说,该团队的可搜索数据库可以成为一个有用的工具,提供有关大规模爆发的核实信息并记录传染病的历史。他补充说,拥有透明、互补的疫情报告系统是一个重要的目标。"我们越快发现世界上任何地方有真正的威胁,并提供这些信息,我们就越好"。
卡茨说,该数据库将使研究人员能够研究决定花多少钱来压制一个特定的疫情的因素,或者冲突或天气事件等外部环境如何影响它们。然而,该研究指出,DON报告并没有提到每个地区的所有已知疫情。
卡茨说,世卫组织可以通过提高其对收到的数千份通知进行优先排序的透明度,为疫情的列入制定更具体的标准,并增加有关背景因素的信息,如气候危害或动物群体的爆发,来改进DON报告。
世卫组织的一位发言人说,它正在起草一份出版物,详细说明其决策过程和DON报告的标准,并对其网站进行重组,使报告更容易搜索。该机构补充说,它在2021年对DON报告的结构和格式进行了标准化--在Katz的研究分析的时期之后。"世卫组织在一份声明中写道:"世卫组织是一个学习型组织,这也延伸到了DON上。
