(文章来源:https://apnews.com/article/china-chikungunya-outbreak-mosquito-dengue-fever-dcd1d67ce75e72118b5d5dcd3750d902)
China is experiencing an outbreak of chikungunya, a mosquito-borne infection, with thousands of cases reported in the south.
Chikungunya fever cases jumped to 4,014 on Friday, representing a rapid rise in numbers since authorities started tracking cases two weeks ago, according to public records released by health departments in districts in Foshan. The city in China’s southern province Guangdong has been heavily impacted by the surge in infections.
The chikungunya outbreak remains “quite severe,” Sun Yang, deputy director of the National Center for Disease Control and Prevention, said at a news conference on Wednesday in Foshan.
Chikungunya is spread to people by the bites of infected mosquitoes. It causes fever and severe joint pain, but deaths are rare, according to the World Health Organization.
The Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention has issued various advisories on how to prevent chikungunya fever and dengue fever, a similar disease also spread by mosquitoes. Physical protection barriers, such as screen doors, mosquito nets for beds and mosquito repellent on exposed skin, was recommended. It said that the epidemic was “imported” without specifying from where.
The Chinese agency also called for people who have symptoms like fever, rash and joint pain to see a doctor.
Shunde district in Foshan, where 90% of the cases are located, is famous for its Cantonese food, and sees many visitors each year.
Patients who tested positive for chikungunya fever stayed in hospital beds covered by mosquito nets, according to photos shown on state-run broadcaster CCTV.
Local media reports said on Thursday that local authorities had almost doubled the number of mosquito-proof isolation beds to 7,220 to meet the growing demand.
Authorities in Guangdong are urging residents to make sure there’s no standing water in their homes, such as in flowerpots, coffee machines or spare bottles. The Health Commission in Foshan stated on Thursday that a fine of up to 10,000 yuan ($1,400) could be applied if violations are found.
The Beijing CDC said on Tuesday that the city occasionally experiences imported cases of chikungunya fever.
There are two chikungunya vaccines that have received regulatory approvals in several countries and/or have been recommended for use in populations at risk, but the vaccines are neither widely available nor in widespread use, according to WHO.
China had its first chikungunya spike in 2010 with 253 cases in Dongguan, a nearby city in the same province, according to the Guangdong provincial CDC. Several cases were found in years since then, but they weren’t widespread.
The country’s first case was imported in 1987, according to research papers and media reports.

Passage1阅读理解
(2025·四川省绵阳市大联考高三下学期第三次诊断性测试)
Scientists in Brazil are releasing genetically modified (改良的) mosquitoes to contain the massive outbreak of dengue fever, a mosquito-borne illness. More than a million cases of the viral infection have been reported in the first two months of 2024, twice more than what were reported in the same period in 2023. In February, Rio de Janeiro declared the outbreak a public health emergency after the city recorded more than 42,000 cases of the disease.
In Brazil, the disease is constantly circulating. Between 2003 and 2019, more than 11 million cases were reported in the country, with peak transmission normally occurring during the annual rainy season from October to May. Unusually, large outbreaks occur roughly every three to four years. Only one in four people infected with the dengue virus develop mild symptoms, which generally clear within two to seven days. However, the disease can sometimes progress and become severe, leading to hospitalization and possibly death.
Faced with a rising number of dengue cases, health authorities in Brazil are testing alternative approaches to control the spread of the disease, including the use of genetically modified mosquitoes, a solution proposed by biotech company Oxitec.
The company breeds male Aedes aegypti mosquitoes—the species that spreads the dengue fever virus to humans—that are genetically modified to carry a gene that kills any female offspring they spawn (产卵). Dengue fever is spread through the bites of female A.aegypti mosquitoes, so releasing these modified mosquitoes into a region can help reduce the number of pests that can spread the virus to people. The eggs of Oxitec’s modified male mosquitoes are placed in boxes and then hatched with the addition of water.
The modified mosquitoes “complete the cycle inside these boxes in about ten days and the adult insects come out to do their work,” Natalia Ferreira, Oxitec’s general manager said. The approach can reduce A.aegypti population numbers by up to 90 percent in regions where the genetically modified mosquitoes are released. There have been concerns that these genetically modified mosquitoes sometimes produce offspring that can survive to pass on their genes to native insects. But so far, there’s no evidence to suggest this could harm humans.
1.Why are genetically modified mosquitoes being released in Brazil?
A.To get rid of mosquitoes. B.To increase the biodiversity.
C.To reduce dengue fever cases. D.To improve mosquito genes.
2.What can we learn from Paragraph 2?
A.Hot and dry weather speeds up the virus transmission.
B.25% of the infected people develop severe symptoms.
C.There is an outbreak of dengue fever every four years.
D.Dengue fever is widespread and reappearing in Brazil.
3.How do the modified mosquitoes work?
A.By killing live female mosquitoes. B.By cutting down on female offspring.
C.By stopping mosquitoes from hatching. D.By relieving the infectious symptoms.
4.What concerns people about the modified mosquitoes?
A.They affect local species. B.They increase dengue cases.
C.They are a threat to humans. D.They grow too fast to control.

Passage2阅读理解
(2025·浙江省衢州、丽水、湖州三地市高三下学期4月教学质量检测(二模))
As the proverb says, a straw shows which way the wind blows. A new study published by the U. S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) shows that the H5N1 bird flu virus is probably circulating undetected in domestic animals in many parts of the country and may be infecting unaware vets (兽医).
In the health agency’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, a group of researchers from the CDC, the Ohio Department of Health and the American Association of Bovine Practitioners reported the results of analysis they conducted on 150 cow vets from 46 states and Canada. They found that three of them had antibodies for the H5N1 bird flu virus in their blood. However, none of the infected vets recalled having any symptoms, including conjunctivitis, or pink eye, the most commonly reported symptom in human cases.
Seema Lakdawala, a microbiologist at Emory University in Atlanta, who was not involved in the research, said she was surprised that only 2% of the vets surveyed tested positive for the antibodies, considering another CDC study showed that 17% of dairy workers sampled had been infected. But she said she was even more surprised that none of them had known they were infected or that they had worked with infected animals.
“These surprising results indicate that serum surveillance (血清检测) studies are important to inform risk of infections that are going unnoticed,” she said. “Vets are on the front line of the outbreak, and increased biosafety practices like respiratory and eye protection should reduce their exposure risk.”
Jennifer Nuzzo, director of the Pandemic Center at Brown University, described the study as “good and bad news study.” “On the one hand, we see concerning evidence that there may be more H5N1 outbreaks on farms than being reported,” she said, “On the other hand, I’m reassured that there isn’t evidence that infections among vets have been widespread.”
However, John Korslund, a U. S. Department of Agriculture scientist, said that finding H5N1 antibodies in the blood of vets was an “interesting but very imprecise way to measure state cattle incidence, so we need follow-up study.”
5.Why is the proverb in paragraph l mentioned?
A.To describe a fact. B.To introduce the study.
C.To explain an issue. D.To present an opinion.
6.What is paragraph 2 mainly about?
A.The findings of the analysis. B.The symptoms of the vets.
C.The causes of H5N1 bird flu. D.The basic logic of the study.
7.What surprised Seema Lakdawala the most?
A.The infected vets’ unawareness of the issue.
B.The 17% infection rate among dairy workers.
C.The high number of positive test results in vets.
D.The risk of unrecognized infections in cows and vets.
8.What aspect should be improved in the follow-up study?
A.The size of the tested group. B.The individual samples.
C.The data analysis procedure. D.The measuring method.

Passage 3 7选5
(2025·广西普通高等学校招生押题卷(一))
Bird flu: What threat to humans?
There are lots of different types of bird flu and most are harmless to people. Some can potentially spread from birds to people if there is prolonged and close contact.
How do people get it?
The biggest risk comes from prolonged and close contact with infected birds. 1 . Bird flu cannot usually be passed from human to human. Scientists are concerned that the virus may one day mutate (变异) and acquire the ability to spread in people.
What are the symptoms?
The symptoms in humans are similar to those of other types of flu: a temperature, cough, headache, chills, aching muscles and a runny or blocked nose and sneezing. 2 , and usually about three to five days after coming into contact with the virus.
What’s the treatment?
If it’s thought that you might have symptoms of bird flu, you’ll be advised to stay at home, or you’ll be cared for in hospital in isolation from other patients. Doctors can prescribe antiviral medicines to help prevent complications. 3 .
4 ?
You can reduce your risk of infection by washing your hands regularly (particularly after going to the toilet and before handling food) and using a tissue when you need to cough or sneeze (and turning away from others if they are coughing/sneezing).
You can feed wild ducks and birds, but make sure you wash your hands thoroughly afterwards. Do not go near sick or dead birds.
Can I still eat chicken?
5 . Poultry and eggs can be safely eaten as long as they are handled hygienically and cooked thoroughly.
A.How can we avoid it
B.How can we prevent the spread of it
C.These symptoms can come on suddenly
D.You are advised to consult doctors when not feeling yourself
E.Painkillers such as paracetamol can also help with the symptoms
F.The virus is easily destroyed by cooking so there is no reason to worry
G.This means farmers who need to handle poultry are more likely to catch it

阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Back in 1 late 1700s, long before people understood the reason behind immunity, farmers and doctors in rural areas of Britain noticed that dairymaids (挤奶女工) and other people who got a mild disease called cowpox (牛痘) seldom caught its fearsome cousin, smallpox (天花). Was there a connection? Some decided there was and inserted (嵌入的) material from the cowpox into an incision they cut on the arm of healthy people, thus somehow 2 (protect) them from smallpox. In 1798, a doctor named Edward Jenner published the results of his experiments using this procedure, earning 3 (he) fame as the “Father of Immunology”.
Scientists later figured out that cowpox somehow protected one from smallpox. When people caught cowpox, their bodies made special cells 4 (call) antibodies. They fought the disease. That’s not all. They stayed in the blood 5 case the disease ever returned. Because cowpox and smallpox are fairly similar, if a person was later exposed to the more serious disease, antibodies were ready 6 (fight) it too.
That knowledge helped scientists develop vaccines. The term vaccination originated from Latin. They contain the viruses, weakened, dead or modified (改良的). Injected into the blood, they trick the immune system into making antibodies. 7 the body ever meets with those same 8 (virus), even at full strength, the antibodies make short work of them.
Vaccination prior to 9 (expose) to the virus is ideal. But a vaccination given within three days of exposure will 10 (complete) prevent or significantly modify smallpox in the majority of people and given within the first four to seven days will likely offer some protection or soften the disease.

(2025·四川省绵阳市大联考高三下学期第三次诊断性测试)
Scientists in Brazil are releasing genetically modified (改良的) mosquitoes to contain the massive outbreak of dengue fever, a mosquito-borne illness. More than a million cases of the viral infection have been reported in the first two months of 2024, twice more than what were reported in the same period in 2023. In February, Rio de Janeiro declared the outbreak a public health emergency after the city recorded more than 42,000 cases of the disease.
In Brazil, the disease is constantly circulating. Between 2003 and 2019, more than 11 million cases were reported in the country, with peak transmission normally occurring during the annual rainy season from October to May. Unusually, large outbreaks occur roughly every three to four years. Only one in four people infected with the dengue virus develop mild symptoms, which generally clear within two to seven days. However, the disease can sometimes progress and become severe, leading to hospitalization and possibly death.
Faced with a rising number of dengue cases, health authorities in Brazil are testing alternative approaches to control the spread of the disease, including the use of genetically modified mosquitoes, a solution proposed by biotech company Oxitec.
The company breeds male Aedes aegypti mosquitoes—the species that spreads the dengue fever virus to humans—that are genetically modified to carry a gene that kills any female offspring they spawn (产卵). Dengue fever is spread through the bites of female A.aegypti mosquitoes, so releasing these modified mosquitoes into a region can help reduce the number of pests that can spread the virus to people. The eggs of Oxitec’s modified male mosquitoes are placed in boxes and then hatched with the addition of water.
The modified mosquitoes “complete the cycle inside these boxes in about ten days and the adult insects come out to do their work,” Natalia Ferreira, Oxitec’s general manager said. The approach can reduce A.aegypti population numbers by up to 90 percent in regions where the genetically modified mosquitoes are released. There have been concerns that these genetically modified mosquitoes sometimes produce offspring that can survive to pass on their genes to native insects. But so far, there’s no evidence to suggest this could harm humans.
1.Why are genetically modified mosquitoes being released in Brazil?
A.To get rid of mosquitoes. B.To increase the biodiversity.
C.To reduce dengue fever cases. D.To improve mosquito genes.
2.What can we learn from Paragraph 2?
A.Hot and dry weather speeds up the virus transmission.
B.25% of the infected people develop severe symptoms.
C.There is an outbreak of dengue fever every four years.
D.Dengue fever is widespread and reappearing in Brazil.
3.How do the modified mosquitoes work?
A.By killing live female mosquitoes. B.By cutting down on female offspring.
C.By stopping mosquitoes from hatching. D.By relieving the infectious symptoms.
4.What concerns people about the modified mosquitoes?
A.They affect local species. B.They increase dengue cases.
C.They are a threat to humans. D.They grow too fast to control.
【答案】1.C 2.D 3.B 4.A
【解析】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要报道了巴西科学家释放转基因蚊子以控制登革热疫情爆发的情况。文章提到了登革热疫情的严重性,包括病例数量的增加和公共卫生紧急状态的宣布,以及巴西卫生当局采取的替代方法来控制疾病的传播,特别是使用转基因蚊子这一解决方案。
1.细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Scientists in Brazil are releasing genetically modified (改良的) mosquitoes to contain the massive outbreak of dengue fever, a mosquito-borne illness.(巴西的科学家们正在释放经过基因改良的蚊子,以控制登革热的大规模爆发,登革热是一种由蚊子传播的疾病。)”以及第四段“The company breeds male Aedes aegypti mosquitoes—the species that spreads the dengue fever virus to humans—that are genetically modified to carry a gene that kills any female offspring they spawn (产卵). Dengue fever is spread through the bites of female A. aegypti mosquitoes, so releasing these modified mosquitoes into a region can help reduce the number of pests that can spread the virus to people.(该公司培育了雄性埃及伊蚊——这种蚊子会将登革热病毒传播给人类——这些蚊子经过基因改良,携带一种基因,该基因会杀死它们所产下的雌性后代。登革热是通过雌性埃及伊蚊的叮咬传播的,所以将这些经过改良的蚊子释放到某一地区,有助于减少能够将病毒传播给人类的害虫数量。)”可知,巴西释放转基因蚊子是为了控制登革热的大规模爆发,即减少登革热病例数。同时,文中还提到登革热是由雌性埃及伊蚊传播的,Oxitec公司培育的转基因雄性埃及伊蚊携带能杀死雌性后代的基因,释放它们可减少能传播病毒的蚊子数量,从而降低登革热的传播风险。故选C。
2.推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Between 2003 and 2019, more than 11 million cases were reported in the country, with peak transmission normally occurring during the annual rainy season from October to May. Unusually, large outbreaks occur roughly every three to four years.(2003年至 2019年间,该国报告了超过1100万例病例,通常每年的10月至次年5月的雨季是传播高峰期。不同寻常的是,大规模的疫情大约每三到四年就会爆发一次。)”可知,登革热在巴西广泛传播,且每隔一段时间就会大规模爆发,即反复出现。故选D。
3.细节理解题。根据文章第四段“The company breeds male Aedes aegypti mosquitoes—the species that spreads the dengue fever virus to humans—that are genetically modified to carry a gene that kills any female offspring they spawn (产卵). Dengue fever is spread through the bites of female A. aegypti mosquitoes, so releasing these modified mosquitoes into a region can help reduce the number of pests that can spread the virus to people.(该公司培育了雄性埃及伊蚊——这种蚊子会将登革热病毒传播给人类——这些蚊子经过基因改良,携带一种基因,该基因会杀死它们所产下的雌性后代。登革热是通过雌性埃及伊蚊的叮咬传播的,所以将这些经过改良的蚊子释放到某一地区,有助于减少能够将病毒传播给人类的害虫数量。)”可知,公司培育的雄性埃及伊蚊经过基因改良,携带一种基因,这种基因会杀死它们所产下的雌性后代。而登革热是通过雌性埃及伊蚊的叮咬传播的,所以减少雌性后代的数量就能降低传播病毒的蚊子数量。故选B。
4.细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“There have been concerns that these genetically modified mosquitoes sometimes produce offspring that can survive to pass on their genes to native insects. But so far, there’s no evidence to suggest this could harm humans.(有人担心这些基因改良蚊子有时会产生能够存活下来的后代,并将它们的基因传递给本地昆虫。但到目前为止,没有证据表明这会对人类造成伤害。)”可知,人们担心这些基因改良蚊子有时会产生能够存活下来的后代,并且这些后代能够将它们的基因传递给本地昆虫。因此,人们对改良蚊子的担忧是它们会影响当地物种。故选A。
【长难句分析】
【文章原句】Faced with a rising number of dengue cases, health authorities in Brazil are testing alternative approaches to control the spread of the disease, including the use of genetically modified mosquitoes, a solution proposed by biotech company Oxitec.
【句式分析】 这个句子是一个包含多个修饰成分的复杂句,"Faced with a rising number of dengue cases"
过去分词短语作原因状语,to control the spread of the disease是目的状语,a solution proposed by biotech company Oxitec.是同位语。
【翻译】面对登革热病例的增加,巴西卫生当局正在测试控制疾病传播的替代方法,包括使用转基因蚊子,这是生物技术公司Oxitec提出的解决方案。
Passage2阅读理解
(2025·浙江省衢州、丽水、湖州三地市高三下学期4月教学质量检测(二模))
As the proverb says, a straw shows which way the wind blows. A new study published by the U. S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) shows that the H5N1 bird flu virus is probably circulating undetected in domestic animals in many parts of the country and may be infecting unaware vets (兽医).
In the health agency’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, a group of researchers from the CDC, the Ohio Department of Health and the American Association of Bovine Practitioners reported the results of analysis they conducted on 150 cow vets from 46 states and Canada. They found that three of them had antibodies for the H5N1 bird flu virus in their blood. However, none of the infected vets recalled having any symptoms, including conjunctivitis, or pink eye, the most commonly reported symptom in human cases.
Seema Lakdawala, a microbiologist at Emory University in Atlanta, who was not involved in the research, said she was surprised that only 2% of the vets surveyed tested positive for the antibodies, considering another CDC study showed that 17% of dairy workers sampled had been infected. But she said she was even more surprised that none of them had known they were infected or that they had worked with infected animals.
“These surprising results indicate that serum surveillance (血清检测) studies are important to inform risk of infections that are going unnoticed,” she said. “Vets are on the front line of the outbreak, and increased biosafety practices like respiratory and eye protection should reduce their exposure risk.”
Jennifer Nuzzo, director of the Pandemic Center at Brown University, described the study as “good and bad news study.” “On the one hand, we see concerning evidence that there may be more H5N1 outbreaks on farms than being reported,” she said, “On the other hand, I’m reassured that there isn’t evidence that infections among vets have been widespread.”
However, John Korslund, a U. S. Department of Agriculture scientist, said that finding H5N1 antibodies in the blood of vets was an “interesting but very imprecise way to measure state cattle incidence, so we need follow-up study.”
5.Why is the proverb in paragraph l mentioned?
A.To describe a fact. B.To introduce the study.
C.To explain an issue. D.To present an opinion.
6.What is paragraph 2 mainly about?
A.The findings of the analysis. B.The symptoms of the vets.
C.The causes of H5N1 bird flu. D.The basic logic of the study.
7.What surprised Seema Lakdawala the most?
A.The infected vets’ unawareness of the issue.
B.The 17% infection rate among dairy workers.
C.The high number of positive test results in vets.
D.The risk of unrecognized infections in cows and vets.
8.What aspect should be improved in the follow-up study?
A.The size of the tested group. B.The individual samples.
C.The data analysis procedure. D.The measuring method.

【答案】5.B 6.A 7.A 8.D
【解析】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了CDC研究发现H5N1禽流感病毒可能在未被发现的情况下传播。
5.推理判断题。根据第一段中“A new study published by the U. S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) shows that the H5N1 bird flu virus is probably circulating undetected in domestic animals in many parts of the country and may be infecting unaware vets (兽医).(美国疾病控制与预防中心(CDC)发表的一项新的研究表明,H5N1禽流感病毒可能在该国许多地区的家畜中未被发现地传播,并可能感染未察觉的兽医)”可知,第一段提到谚语是为了引出这项关于H5N1禽流感病毒的研究。故选B。
6.主旨大意题。根据第二段中“In the health agency’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, a group of researchers from the CDC, the Ohio Department of Health and the American Association of Bovine Practitioners reported the results of analysis they conducted on 150 cow vets from 46 states and Canada. They found that three of them had antibodies for the H5N1 bird flu virus in their blood. However, none of the infected vets recalled having any symptoms, including conjunctivitis, or pink eye, the most commonly reported symptom in human cases.(在该卫生机构的《发病率和死亡率周报》中,来自美国疾病控制与预防中心、俄亥俄州卫生部和美国牛从业者协会的一组研究人员报告了他们对来自46个州和加拿大的150名牛兽医进行分析的结果。他们发现其中三人的血液中有 H5N1 禽流感病毒的抗体。然而,没有一名受感染的兽医记得有任何症状,包括结膜炎或红眼病,这是人类病例中最常报告的症状)”可知,第二段主要介绍了这项分析的研究结果。故选A。
7.细节理解题。根据第三段中“But she said she was even more surprised that none of them had known they were infected or that they had worked with infected animals.(但她说,更让她惊讶的是,他们中没有人知道自己被感染了,也没有人知道自己曾与受感染的动物接触过)”可知,让Seema Lakdawala最惊讶的是被感染的兽医没有意识到这个问题。故选A。
8.细节理解题。根据最后一段中“However, John Korslund, a U. S. Department of Agriculture scientist, said that finding H5N1 antibodies in the blood of vets was an “interesting but very imprecise way to measure state cattle incidence, so we need follow-up study.”(然而,美国农业部的科学家John Korslund表示,在兽医的血液中发现H5N1抗体是“一种有趣但非常不精确的测量州内牛发病率的方法,所以我们需要后续研究。”)”可知,后续研究应改进的是测量方法。故选D。
Passage 3 7选5
(2025·广西普通高等学校招生押题卷(一))
Bird flu: What threat to humans?
There are lots of different types of bird flu and most are harmless to people. Some can potentially spread from birds to people if there is prolonged and close contact.
How do people get it?
The biggest risk comes from prolonged and close contact with infected birds. 1 . Bird flu cannot usually be passed from human to human. Scientists are concerned that the virus may one day mutate (变异) and acquire the ability to spread in people.
What are the symptoms?
The symptoms in humans are similar to those of other types of flu: a temperature, cough, headache, chills, aching muscles and a runny or blocked nose and sneezing. 2 , and usually about three to five days after coming into contact with the virus.
What’s the treatment?
If it’s thought that you might have symptoms of bird flu, you’ll be advised to stay at home, or you’ll be cared for in hospital in isolation from other patients. Doctors can prescribe antiviral medicines to help prevent complications. 3 .
4 ?
You can reduce your risk of infection by washing your hands regularly (particularly after going to the toilet and before handling food) and using a tissue when you need to cough or sneeze (and turning away from others if they are coughing/sneezing).
You can feed wild ducks and birds, but make sure you wash your hands thoroughly afterwards. Do not go near sick or dead birds.
Can I still eat chicken?
5 . Poultry and eggs can be safely eaten as long as they are handled hygienically and cooked thoroughly.
A.How can we avoid it
B.How can we prevent the spread of it
C.These symptoms can come on suddenly
D.You are advised to consult doctors when not feeling yourself
E.Painkillers such as paracetamol can also help with the symptoms
F.The virus is easily destroyed by cooking so there is no reason to worry
G.This means farmers who need to handle poultry are more likely to catch it
【答案】1.G 2.C 3.E 4.A 5.F
【解析】本文是说明文。文章介绍了禽流感对人类的威胁及其预防措施。
1.根据空前“The biggest risk comes from prolonged and close contact with infected birds.(最大的风险来自长时间和受感染的禽类密切接触。)”提到了长时间和受感染的禽类密切接触的人有感染病毒的风险。中间是过渡句,前后是顺承关系,G项“This means farmers who need to handle poultry are more likely to catch it(这意味着需要处理家禽的农民更有可能感染此病毒)”与上文衔接紧密,符合语境。“This”指代上文所述情况。故选G。

Passage 5 语法填空
(2025·甘肃省天水市麦积区新梦想高考复读学校模拟预测(B))
阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Back in 1 late 1700s, long before people understood the reason behind immunity, farmers and doctors in rural areas of Britain noticed that dairymaids (挤奶女工) and other people who got a mild disease called cowpox (牛痘) seldom caught its fearsome cousin, smallpox (天花). Was there a connection? Some decided there was and inserted (嵌入的) material from the cowpox into an incision they cut on the arm of healthy people, thus somehow 2 (protect) them from smallpox. In 1798, a doctor named Edward Jenner published the results of his experiments using this procedure, earning 3 (he) fame as the “Father of Immunology”.
Scientists later figured out that cowpox somehow protected one from smallpox. When people caught cowpox, their bodies made special cells 4 (call) antibodies. They fought the disease. That’s not all. They stayed in the blood 5 case the disease ever returned. Because cowpox and smallpox are fairly similar, if a person was later exposed to the more serious disease, antibodies were ready 6 (fight) it too.
That knowledge helped scientists develop vaccines. The term vaccination originated from Latin. They contain the viruses, weakened, dead or modified (改良的). Injected into the blood, they trick the immune system into making antibodies. 7 the body ever meets with those same 8 (virus), even at full strength, the antibodies make short work of them.
Vaccination prior to 9 (expose) to the virus is ideal. But a vaccination given within three days of exposure will 10 (complete) prevent or significantly modify smallpox in the majority of people and given within the first four to seven days will likely offer some protection or soften the disease.
【答案】

【解析】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了18世纪末Edward Jenner发现接种牛痘提取物能预防天花,从而开创疫苗接种的历史,并解释了抗体如何通过识别相似病毒提供免疫力。
1.考查冠词。句意:早在18世纪末,远在人们理解免疫原理之前,英国乡村的农民和医生注意到,挤奶女工和其他感染过一种名为牛痘的轻微疾病的人,很少染上其可怕的近亲——天花。空后为late 1700s,“某世纪某年代”前需加定冠词the。故填the。
2.考查非谓语动词。句意:一些人认为有,于是将牛痘的提取物注入健康人手臂上的切口,从而以某种方式保护他们免受天花侵害。句子主干成分完整,空处表示随着谓语行为自然发生的结果,作结果状语,应用protect“保护”的现在分词形式。故填protecting。
3.考查代词。句意:1798年,一位名叫Edward Jenner的医生发表了使用此方法的实验结果,并因此赢得了“免疫学之父”的声誉。earn sb. sth.意为“为某人赢得某物”,空处作earning的宾语,此处earn这一动作的实施者和承受者为同一人,空处应用he的反身代词形式,或用earn sth.表示“赢得某物,挣得某物”,把空处看作修饰名词fame的定语,用形容词性物主代词his。故填himself/his。
4.考查非谓语动词。句意:当人感染牛痘时,身体会产生一种特殊的细胞,称为抗体。空处是非谓语,作special cells的后置定语,call“称作”和special cells逻辑上是被动关系,因此用call的过去分词形式。故填called。
5.考查介词。句意:它们还会留在血液中,以防疾病再次来袭。结合“the disease ever returned”可知,此处应用固定搭配in case表示“以防”,引导目的状语从句。故填in。
6.考查非谓语动词。句意:由于牛痘和天花非常相似,如果一个人后来接触更严重的天花病毒,抗体也能迅速投入战斗。be ready to do sth.是固定短语,意为“准备好做某事”,空处应用fight“与……作斗争”的不定式形式。故填to fight。
7.考查状语从句。句意:如果身体日后遇到同样的病毒/当身体日后遇到同样的病毒时,哪怕病毒来势汹汹,抗体也能轻松消灭它们。前半句也可理解为是后半句发生的条件,空处可用从属连词if引导条件状语从句,意为“如果”;前半句可理解为和后半句同时发生,空处可用从属连词when引导时间状语从句,意为“当……的时候”,且空处位于句首,if或when的首字母均需大写。故填If/When。
8.考查名词的数。句意:如果身体日后遇到同样的病毒/当身体日后遇到同样的病毒时,哪怕病毒来势汹汹,抗体也能轻松消灭它们。空处作with的宾语,those后应用可数名词virus“病毒”的复数形式。故填viruses。
9.考查名词。句意:理想情况下,应在接触病毒前接种疫苗。空处作介词to的宾语,名词exposure符合题意,意为“接触”,是不可数名词。故填exposure。
10.考查副词。句意:但若在接触后3天内接种,仍能完全预防或大幅减轻天花症状;而在接触后4至7天内接种,也可能提供部分保护或减轻病情。空处修饰动词prevent,副词completely符合题意,意为“完全地”。故填completely。
