问题    Finally, some good news about airplane travel. If you are on a plane with a sick passenger, you are unlikely to get sick. That is the【C1】______of a new study that looked at how respiratory (呼吸道) viruses【C2】______on airplanes. Researchers found that only people who were seated in the same row as a passenger with the flu, for example—or one row in front of or behind that individual—had a high risk of catching the illness. All other passengers had only a very【C3】______chance of getting sick, according to the findings. Media reports have not necessarily presented【C4】______information about the risk of getting infected on an airplane in the past. Therefore, these new findings should help airplane passengers to feel less【C5】______to catching respiratory infections while traveling by air.
   Prior to the new study, little was known about the risks of getting【C6】______infected by common respiratory viruses, such as the flu or common cold, on an airplane, the researchers said. So, to【C7】______the risks of infection, the study team flew on 10 different【C8】______in the U. S. during the flu season. The researchers found that passengers sitting within two seats on【C9】______side of a person infected with the flu, as well as those sitting one row in front of or behind this individual, had about an 80 percent chance of getting sick. But other passengers were【C10】______safe from infection. They had a less than 3 percent chance of catching the flu.
   A) accurate F) explorations K) slim
   B) conclusion G) flights L) spread
   C) directly H) largely M) summit
   D) either I) nearby N) vividly
   E) evaluate J) respond O) vulnerable [br] 【C4】
选项
答案 A
解析 [语法判断]空格所在句基本成分齐全，空格后是名词information，因此应填入形容词作定语。[语义判断]本句指出，在过去，媒体的报道未必能提供关于在飞机上被传染的风险的______信息。前面几句都在讲新研究的发现，指出研究结果表明，所有其他乘客患病的概率都很小。本句退而说明过去的媒体报道，与新研究形成对比，因此本空应填入含有“准确，精确”含义的形容词，故本题答案为A)accurate。
