选项 A.moderate
B.normal
C.unusual
D.extreme

答案 A

解析词义辨析【直击答案】本空格所在句是But the epidemic is“4”in severity,according to Margaret Chan,the organization's director general。句首but一词是重点，说明此段落含义和上文含义具有转折关系，再联系本句后一句信息the overwhelming majority of patients experiencing only mild symptoms“很多患者只有轻微症状”可推断出Margaret Chan,the organization's director general（世界卫生组织的理事长Margaret Chan）认为该流行病并不严重，故选A项moderate“缓和的”。【命题思路】本题考查对上下文逻辑的理解，同时考查形容词辨析能力。【干扰排除】D项extreme“极端的，极度的”有一定的干扰性，因为上文中一直在强调猪流感病毒蔓延的严重程度，但这里一个but起到了转折的作用，故可排除D项。
