GENEVA(Reuters) -Pregnant women and other people at high risk should be vaccinated(注射疫苗) against the H1N1 swine flu virus as the cold weather begins to bite in the northern hemisphere(半球), the World Health Organization(WHO) said on Tuesday.
It voiced concern that some vulnerable(弱势的) people don’t have access to the pandemic(传染病) vaccine, which the WHO stressed had not caused any unusual side effects in hundreds of thousands of people to have received it worldwide so far.
“Certainly the fact that the vaccine isn’t being used by those who would have access to it and who would be in priority risk groups is of concern, yes,” WHO spokesman Gregory Hartl told a news briefing.
At least 5, 712 people have died from the swine flu virus, according to the United Nations agency. Health workers, pregnant women and people with conditions such as asthma are deemed at greatest risk and should be top priority for getting the shot.
“We have seen many, many examples of people in high risk groups such as pregnant women who have very severe disease or outcomes. These outcomes could be in all likelihood avoided if one were to get vaccinated,” Hartl said.
Unlike seasonal flu, which is most dangerous to the elderly, H1N1 is hitting younger adults and children especially hard.
The WHO recommends a single vaccine dose for protecting adults against H1N1. It has also urged governments to consider giving a single dose to as many children under age 10 as possible, but says more research is needed into child dosages.
In the United States, studies show that children under the age of 9 will need two doses of the vaccine to be fully protected, officials there said on Monday.
Parts of North America and Europe have already crossed the epidemic (流行病) threshold( 开始了), ahead of the normal influenza season which peaks in January-February for the northern hemisphere, WHO says.
51.According to the passage, what is WHO probably most concerned about now?
A. Whether the vaccine has side effect or not.
B. How many people are infected by the H1N1 swine flu virus.
C. Whether pregnant women and those at high risk can get the vaccination.
D. What is the difference between H1N1 and seasonal flu.
52.According to the passage, what group of people are more vulnerable to H1N1 swine flu virus?
A. The elderly. B. A teenager with asthma.
C. An adult with heatstroke. D. A newly-born baby.
53.In paragraph 4, “getting the shot” means ____________.
A. being shot B. being vaccinated C. being cured D. getting killed
54.What can we learn from this passage?
A. Pregnant women will surely get severe disease if infected with H1N1.
B. Seasonal flu is more likely to hit younger adults and children.
C. one more dose of vaccine should be given to the children under 9.
D. About 6000 people have died from seasonal flu.
55. Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. Pregnant women need flu shot.
B. Differences between H1N1 flu and seasonal flu.
C. The harm caused by H1N1 swine flu virus.
D. A breakthrough in H1N1 cure: vaccination.

查看习题详情和答案>>The latest product for BYD, a domestic pioneer in developing alternative-energy vehicles based
in Shenzhen, the e6 combines state-of-the-art technology developed in a joint venture (合资企业)
between BYD and the U.S.-based Daimler, Shenzhen Economic Daily reported yesterday.
The e6 carries a price tag of 369,800 yuan (US$56,030), according to BYD, which expected to
sell about 300 e6s each month in Shenzhen.
Prospective buyers, however, will only have to pay 249,800 yuan for an e6, because in July last
year, the city government started providing an extra 60,000 yuan subsidy to buyers of pure electric
cars on the basis of a national subsidy of 60,000 yuan.
According to the manufacturer's Vice President Lian Yubo, the BYD e6 possesses several examples
of world-class technology, including intelligent keyless entry, voice recognition navigation system,
on-board digital television, rear-view reverse camera and other accessories (附件). With the application
of iCloud technology, motorists will also be able to use their iPhones or other mobile phones running
an Android system to unlock and lock the car, control air conditioning, as well as monitor the location
of the vehicle.
Lian said BYD and Daimler would cooperate to release more electric vehicles.
Powered by recyclable and environmentally friendly iron-based batteries produced by BYD and
using 19.5 kwh of electricity per 100 km with no emissions, the e6 is capable of a maximum speed of
140 km per hour, the paper said. The car can run up to 300 km without a recharge.
It will take only one hour to recharge the e6 batteries to their full capacity at a charging station but
five to six hours will be needed for a full charge at charging stands installed in parking lots.
Shenzhen has been accelerating the construction of large charging stations. In addition, owners of
electric cars can apply to have charging stands installed in their residential communities.
B. New technology used in BYD e6
C. Car industry develops fast in Shenzhen
D. China's first pure electric car released
B. 249,800 yuan
C. 120,000 yuan
D. 60,000 yuan
B. keyless starting
C. voice navigation
D. a digital camera
B. The charging of the electric car will surely get more convenient in the future.
C. Charging stands will soon be installed in all residential communities.
D. Charging stations will probably take the place of traditional gas stations.
B. Daimler is a major car producer based in Shenzhen.
C. BYD pioneers in China in developing electric cars.
D. The e6 can run at a maximum speed of 300 km per hour.

Nobel, who was born in Stockholm, is a great scientist famous for his dangerous experiments.
Nobel studied in the USA and then Russia between 1850 and 1859. After his return, he started researching into bombs. As is known, bomb is dangerous to life, but Nobel was working under that condition. Once a big explosion in his lab completely destroyed the lab and caused some deaths. After that he had to experiment on a boat in a lake. He received criticism and satire(讽刺), but he proceeded with the work rather than losing heart. From 1860s to 1880s, Nobel made many achievements and his inventions were first used in building roads and digging tunnels. Most of the bombs were safer and more possible to be controlled. Even at the end of the 20th century, we still used his methods.
Nobel had many patents in Britain and other European countries. He was quick to see industrial openings(机会) for his scientific inventions and built up over 80 companies in 20 different countries. Indeed his greatness lay in his outstanding ability to combine the qualities of an original scientist with those of a forwardlooking industrialist.
But Nobel’s main concern was never with making money or even with making scientific discoveries. Seldom happy, he was always searching for a meaning to life, and from his youth, he had taken a serious interest in literature and philosophy. His greatest wish, however, was to see an end to wars, and thus peace between nations, and he spent much time and money working for this cause. To follow his will, a fund was set up to encourage people to make great progress in physics, chemistry, physiology(生理学), medicine, literature and peace. That’s the Nobel Prize which means great honor to a scientist.
