文章精要
本文主要介紹了科學(xué)界對(duì)SARS的研究，包括其癥狀、診斷、治療、傳播途徑等情況。關(guān)于SARS還有很多問題有待于解答。SARS的癥狀類似于感冒，人會(huì)發(fā)燒，感到身體疼痛。SARS病毒主要是通過空氣傳播的。
62．A詞義辨析題。該句意為“SARS是在2003年2月在河內(nèi)首次被—的”。detect意為“發(fā)現(xiàn)，察覺”，例：The dentist could detect no decay in her teeth．(醫(yī)生檢查了她的牙，未發(fā)現(xiàn)齲齒。)，故選A。其他三項(xiàng)：catch意為“抓住，趕上”；disclose意為“揭露”；reveal意為“揭示”。
63．B邏輯銜接題。該句意為“SARS是在2003年2月在河內(nèi)首次被發(fā)現(xiàn)的，——從那時(shí)起，SARS已經(jīng)感染了l5個(gè)國家的l600人，其中63人死亡”，此處前后兩句為承接關(guān)系，故選B。
64．B慣用搭配題。該句意為“在這一點(diǎn)上，人們對(duì)于該病的許多疑問都沒有找到答案”。at this point指“在這一點(diǎn)上”，符合該處的語義關(guān)系，故選B。at this time意為“在這個(gè)時(shí)候”；沒有at this aspect/instance的說法，應(yīng)為in this aspect(在這個(gè)方面)和in this instance(在這個(gè)情況下)。
65．D慣用搭配題。該句意為“SARS的癥狀是首先表現(xiàn)為高于100．4華氏度的高燒、發(fā)冷、頭疼或者身體”。startwith是固定搭配，意為“以……開始”，帶有伴隨的意味，故選D。start from意為“從……開始，開始于……”，強(qiáng)調(diào)具體的事物；startover意為“重新開始”。
66．C詞義辨析題。hurt意為“傷害，受傷”；sore意為“痛處，一般為嗓子疼”；ache意為“疼痛”，一般指身體某
處的疼痛；feeling意為“感情，情感”。根據(jù)上下文此處要表達(dá)身體的疼痛，故選C。、
67．C詞義辨析題。該句意為“一周內(nèi)，病人于咳，可能——呼吸短促”，只有progress“發(fā)展”符合句意，故
選C。其他三項(xiàng)：process意為“加工，處理”；advance意為“前進(jìn)”；convert意為“轉(zhuǎn)化”。
68．C詞義辨析題。ventilation意為“通風(fēng)”，該句大意為“在10%到20%的病例中，患者需要一一通風(fēng)進(jìn)行呼吸”。根據(jù)常識(shí)，醫(yī)院通常為呼吸困難的病人提供呼吸機(jī)，呼吸機(jī)是機(jī)械設(shè)備。四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中automatic意為“自動(dòng)的”；artificial意為“人工的”；mechanical意為“機(jī)械的”；controlled意為“可控制的”，故選c。

70．B語法結(jié)構(gòu)題。前文提到，癥狀一般在2到7天內(nèi)開始出現(xiàn)，此處為轉(zhuǎn)折：但是有報(bào)告顯示癥狀出現(xiàn)需要10天，可見人們對(duì)SARS還不是很了解，只是一種推測(cè)。might為情態(tài)動(dòng)詞，表示較小的推斷和可能，故選B。
71．C詞義辨析題。cultivate意為“培養(yǎng)”；foster意為“培育”；develop意為“發(fā)展”；design意為“設(shè)計(jì)”。此處表

72．B語法結(jié)構(gòu)題。that此處引導(dǎo)evidence的同位語從句，故選B。
73．A邏輯銜接題。前半句提到“還不能證明抗生素和抗濾過性病原體藥物有幫助”，該句說“醫(yī)生只能提供支持性的醫(yī)療服務(wù)”，由此可知此處是因果關(guān)系，故選A。
74．D詞義辨析題。結(jié)合句意“患有SARS的病人被隔離，減少——的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)”可知，此處是指減少傳播的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)。transmission意為“傳播，傳染”，符合句意，故選D。其他三項(xiàng)：communication意為“傳達(dá)”；transportation意為“交通，運(yùn)輸”；transformation意為“轉(zhuǎn)換，轉(zhuǎn)變”。
