共用题干Flu Shots Or Not?
It sounded like a good idea when New York City's mayor,Rudollph Giuliani,advised New Yorkers recently to get a flu shot.After all,20,000 Americans each year die of influenza. And this year in particular,the mayor suggested,getting a flu shot might be an especially good idea, since it could help doctors distinguish between flu and the deadly inhalational(吸入的)form of anthrax(炭疽).How? Both anthrax and flu exhibit strikingly similar symptoms-fever, chills and muscle aches-in the early days of the infection.Physicians would be quick to suspect anthrax in anyone who was vaccinated(接种疫苗)against flu and still developed fever and chills. That would give them a better chance to identify any new victims of terror while their infection was still in its earliest,most treatable stages.
Or so the mayor's reasoning went. Unfortunately,there are a couple of problems with his log-ic .For one thing,getting vaccinated against influenza doesn't guarantee you won't get sick .Al-though highly effective,the flu vaccine(疫苗)protects against only the dominant types of the dis-ease and even then does not provide 100% protection.It takes a couple of weeks for your body to respond to the vaccine with a sufficient number of antibodies(抗体).Each year thousands of
Americans who get the vaccine nevertheless still get the flu.
There are also plenty of reasons you might develop fever,chills and muscle aches that have nothing to do with either anthrax or flu .Indeed,doctors estimate that more than 80%of all flu-like illnesses each winter are caused by other groups of viruses.Getting vaccinated against flu can't protect you against suffering from these other illnesses.
In the worst case,asking all healthy adults to get vaccinated could actually have the opposite effect to the one intended,leading to even more deaths if it means we run out of shots for those who are most vulnerable to the infection.Already there have been delays in getting this year's shipment of vaccine to clinics and doctor's offices.Those who should be at the front of the line in-clude folks who are 65 or older,nursing-home residents and adults and children with chronic health problems as well as anyone who cares for or lives with such people .Flu shots are also im- portant for men and women whose immune system is weakened by HIV(艾滋病病毒)or other conditions.
The best reason to get the flu vaccine is that it proteets against most flus-not that you're worried about getting anthrax.While inhalational anthrax has killed only five people so far,many more could be at risk from flu-related complications.There's no need to worsen the tragedy by making this year's influenza epidemic any worse.Quite a few New Yorkers took their mayor's recent advice and got a flu shot.A: RightB: WrongC: Not mentioned
选项
Quite a few New Yorkers took their mayor's recent advice and got a flu shot.
A: Right
B: Wrong
C: Not mentioned
答案
C
解析
通篇文章除了开头提到纽约市长最近建议纽约市民前往打流感预防针以外,并没有提到有多少人接受他的意见前往打针,所以Quite a few ( = A considerable number of 相当多的)这个数量就无法证实。
短文第一段第五句说到炭疽病和流感在感染初期,其表现出来的症状十分相似,所以本题说“在感染初期不易区分”是正确的。tell sb. /sth. from sb. /sth. = distinguish sb./sth .from sb./sth.。
短文第二段第二句说“打了流感预防针也不能保证你不得病”,本段最后一句还说 “每年有成千上万人打了流感预防针还得流感”,故本题是错的。
整个第三段都证明本题的论述是正确的,其中说到“发烧、发冷和肌肉疼痛可以与炭疽病和流感没有任何关系(have nothing to do with)",而且“医生佑计,每年冬天, 80%以上的类似流感的疾病是由其他类型病毒所引起的”。
文章第四段第一句讲到了本题所说的内容,即如果人人都打的话就可能造成疫苗短缺,而需要打预防针的人却无法打。
短文第四段第三句列举了最需要打流感预防针的人中就包括了“那些护理的人和与他们一起居住的人(as well as anyone who care for or lives with such people)",故本题是错的。
文章最后一段说到“迄今为止,炭疽病只导致5人死亡”,但并未提到这些人是否打过流感预防针。
