  Long long ago, a general was planning an attack on the enemies, and he wanted very much to know whether his soldiers would be successful, but he had no good way of getting news from the front. So he asked his officers to help him.

  He was told that a good pigeon could carry news. The bird arrived, and a soldier was ordered to carry it and to keep near one of his officers. The officer was asked to write about the success or failure of the attack on a piece of paper, fix the paper to the bird's leg so that it could send messages the general wanted.

The attack began and the general began waiting for the news. The general walked up and down impatiently, and the eyes of the officers were fixed on the sky. No pigeon could be seen. The general's face grew serious; he had to know if the attack was successful.

  Suddenly came a cry,“The pigeon!”All eyes looked up into the sky. The bird arrived. It had done its duty nobly(极好地). Round one leg of the pigeon's was a piece of paper.

  HANOT-A 15-month-old girl and a man are the latest suspected cases of bird flu(流感) infection(感染) in Vietnam, a senior health official said on Wednesday as attention turned to pigs as possible carriers for the illness. Both patients are suspected of contracting avian influenza(禽流感) strain A, also known as H5NI, Dau Ngoc Hao, deputy director of the Agriculture Ministry's Veterinary Department in Hanoi, said. They were among 15 people who fell ill with influenza in Hanoi and surrounding provinces. Twelve, most of them children, have died. The World Health Organization said on Tuesday tests conducted by a Hong Kong laboratory had confirmed that bird flu killed three of the 15.

  Hao suspected pigs were playing a role in the transmission of bird flu to humans. “It is possible that the bird flu virus spreads from chickens to pigs before jumping to humans,” he said, but did not laborate(详细描述). Local officials said ducks and pigs were also dying in southern provinces. By Wednesday, the virus has killed nearly 1.4 million chickens in the southern provinces of Long An and Tien Giang. “The situation in southern Vietnam is still very complicated,” Hao said. Peter Cordingley, a spokesman for the WHO'S Western Pacific headquarters in Manila, said:“We're worried that the virus will latch on to a normal human influenza virus, which is extremely contagious(传染性的) and then we'll have a big problem.” Cordingley stressed there was “no evidence of human-to-human transmission” among the Vietnam flu victims. “While there are people falling sick inside families, it's more likely that the transmission-if it comes from anywhere-comes from the chickens,” he said. Hanoi declared last week that it had been struck by a fast-spreading bird flu that has hit other countries nearby, which have a vast poultry(家禽) industry.

  South Korea, which has already killed nearly 2 million chickens and ducks, reported last Tuesday the first new case of avian flu in more than a week, dashing hopes that the outbread was subsiding(平息). Hundreds of people living in affected areas have been given blood tests, although a health official said no one had shown symptoms of the disease. Japan reported its first bird flu outbread in years on Monday.

1.We can infer that the bird flu ________.

[  ]

A.is a deadly disease to people

B.is not infected by people

C.is only infected by birds and chickens

D.suddenly broke out in Europe

2.Which of the following areas is seriously struck by the bird flu?

[  ]

A.Africa.
B.Asia.
C.America.
D.Europe.

3.Which of the followings is NOT true?

[  ]

A.The bird flu can be found out by testing a person's blood.

B.The bird flu is most likely to be infected through direct per-son-to-person contact.

C.In South Korea, only one person has been infected with the avian flu recently.

D.The avian flu is a disease that both human beings and animals suffer from.

4.It is possible that human beings are infected with the avian flu.

[  ]

A.by eating pork

B.by killing chickens and pigs

C.by hunting wild animals

D.by catching a cold in cold weather

  The Lexiteria, the world’s leading custom dictionary, has announced its top word of the year 2005.The decision was made by The Lexiteria after polling(民意调查)the visitors to its popular website, alphaDictionary.com.The year’s top word is “pandemic(全球流行)”

  According to Dr.Robert Beard, the president of The Lexiteria, the company sought a word that stood out in the press, on the Web, and in conversations in the English-speaking world.

  “Pandemic stood out because of a pandemic of the bird flu,” said Beard.“However, the year also saw a pandemic of terrorist attacks in London, New Delhi, Amman, and a pandemic of hurricanes that hit cities all along the U.S.Atlantic and Gulf for several years now.”

  The word is made up of two Greek words, pan, meaning “all”, and demos, meaning “people”.

  The Lexiteria decided against new words like “podcast(博客)” because it is not clear that they will survive.The electronic revolution has given rise to hundreds of new words that are likely to be replaced in the future.

(1)

[  ]

A.

B.

terrorist attacks hit many countries and areas.

C.

earthquakes hit many countries and areas.

D.

hurricanes hit cities all along the U.S.Atlantic and Gulf.

(2)

Why did The Lexiteria decide against the new word “podcast”?

[  ]

A.

B.

C.

Because it was a new word.

Because nobody knew its meaning.
