51、 flu season.” The joke is about the unpredictable nature of the flu virusEvery year it looks different, and every strain (类型) follows its own pattern its the reason why new strains like H1N1 are extremely difficult to predict.DrMichael Osterholm is a former adviser to the U.SDepartment of Health and

52、 Human Services“I know less about influenza today than I did 10 years ago,” he says in a joking way“Every stone weve turned over, we get more questions.”The flu rectums every season and the world experiences terrible pandemics (全国或全世界范围流行的疾病), but researchers still do not understand why some strains

53、 infect people and others do not; they are not entirely sure about how the flu is transmitted; nor do they understand why some patients become seriously ill while others develop mild symptoms (症状)As a result, when a new strain shows up like H1N1 they often have little information to fall back on, an

54、d the lessons of previous pandemics are only somewhat helpfulWhile researchers are still putting together a complete picture of H1N1, for example, its most striking difference with the seasonal flu is that the elder1y are not the most vulnerable (易受攻击的) population.Influenzas unpredictable nature mak

55、es it a moving target for researchers, says researcher Allison Aiello at the University of Michigan“Even if we had complete seasonal flu data from the past, it wouldnt be much helpful for a new strain of influenza,” she explains.Whi1e researchers are frustrated by the holes in their knowledge, they

56、say, however, that the pub1ic-health community is generally doing a very good job responding to H1N1 with seasonal flu data that do existStudying influenza, says Osterholm, is “like looking through the windows of a house you cant get into because the door is locked.” Gathering the data researchers d

57、o have is like “looking through the windows to get a pretty good picture of what the inside looks like.”One thing researchers do know for sure: the best way for people to protect against H1N1 is to get the vaccine once it becomes available to them.52What do we learn about H1N1 from the passage?AIn f

58、act it is not a kind of influenza virus.BIt is quite possible to predict it in theory.COld people are more likely to contract it than kids.DReceiving vaccines will be effective to protect against it.53The underlined phrase “fall back on” in Para3 probably means .Arely onBpass onCcol1ect Dexchange54W

59、hat do we know about previous seasonal flu data?AIt is useless to study them.BIt is still necessary to study them.CThey are misleading most of the time.DThey are much more helpful than expected.55Which of the following could be the best title for the passage?AOutbreaks of the fluBSymptoms of the flu
