练习 1
Fill in the blanks with the appropriate terms from the article!
First, find the term which describes a widespread illness, such as a virus, which affects much of the world:
A cholera swept through Asia in the 19th Century.
Now, we need the word which means "deadly" or "mortal":
My parents were in a car accident when I was 3, so I'm an orphan.
Next, find the word used to describe something which "persuades you not to do something":
The police have introduced security cameras in public places as a to criminals.
Finally, find the word which means a "development" or a major "discovery", "advance" or "achievement":
These results are a real : we're very proud of what we discovered!

1 pandemic: "Pandemic" is the term we were looking for here. A "pandemic" is something (usually a virus) which spreads over many different countries, infecting lots of people. In the article, we read that scientists fear that "a global flu pandemic" may happen in the future, making lots of people ill.
2 fatal: This is the right answer. If an accident, an illness, etc. is "fatal", then it is "deadly": it results in death. Example: "Cancer can be fatal: many people never recover". I hope you never contract a fatal illness!
3 deterrent: "Deterrent" is the correct term here. A "deterrent" persuades or convinces us NOT to do something: it "discourages" us. Example: "Prison is great: it serves as both a deterrent and a punishment!".
4 breakthrough: "Breakthrough" is the right answer. In a literal sense, a "breakthrough" is when we push to the other side of something, or cross a line. Figuratively, a "breakthrough" is an important "development" or "discovery".
