参考解析
解析：on medical history意为“在医学史上”符合语境。
先行词是sickness，且关系词在从句中作主语，故选D。
由空后的armies可知是指人多拥挤的地方。故选D。
由最后一次流感发生在1889年，1889年属于19世纪，因此这次流感应都发生在19世纪中，故用during。
流感的发生用happen0 change改变；stop停止；suffer遭受。
此处意为“例如最近一次流感发生在亚洲”。前文讲到流感史的开始，后文就举了一个 例子。like在此意为“例如，譬如”。
由后文的dying out（消失）可知空中应填decreased（下降的）。
此处表示最近一轮流感的爆发是由1889-1890年流感引发的。introduce意为（引起，传入）。
由前文的American troops（美国军队）可知此处应填armies。
此处表示第二次流感的爆发证明其是杀手。由后文因流感而死的人可知。
此处表示流感侵袭了整个世界。故选A。 go through。
此处表示流感侵袭了整个世界，只有几个远岛幸免于难。故选B。
在流感结束前，人们遇到了很多困难，食物供给也被中断了。故选B。
at least为固定搭配，意为“至少”，符合语境。
由前文可知，流感的可怕性，故不言而喻流感是种可怕的传染病，应多受注意。故选C。

Passage TwoQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.Scientists have established that influenza viruses taken from man can cause the disease in animals. In addition，man can catch the disease from animals. In fact，a great number of wild birds seem to carry the virus without showing any evidence of illness. Some scientists conclude that a large family of influenza viruses may have evolved in the bird kingdom，a group that has been on the earth 100 million years and is able to carry the virus without contracting the disease. These are even convincing evidence to show that virus strains are transmitted from place to place and from continent to continent by migrating birds.It is known that two influenza viruses can recombine when both are present in an animal at the same time. The result of such recombinations is a great variety of strains constraining different H and N spikes. This raises the possibility that a human influenza virus can recombine with an influenza virus form. a lower animal to produce an entirely new spike.Research is underway to determine if that is the way that major new strains come into being. Another possibility is that two animal influenza strains may recombine in a pig，for example，to produce a new strain which is transmitted to man.According to the passage，scientists have discovered that influenza viruses______.A. cause ill health in wild birdsB. do not always cause symptoms in birdsC. are rarely present in wild birdsD. change when transferred from animals to man

Second,there is no such thing as a primitive（原始的）language.There are many people whose cultures are undeveloped,who are,as we say,uncivilized,but the languages they speak are not primitive.In all known languages we can see complexities that must have been tens of thousands of years in developing. This has not always been well understood;indeed,the direct contrary has often been stated.Popular ideas of the language of the American Indians will illustrate.Many people have supposed that the Indians communicated in a very primitive system of noises.Study has proved this to be nonsense.There are,or were, hundreds of American Indian languages,and all of them turn out to be very complicated and very old.They are certainly different from the languages that most of us are familiar with,but they are no more primitive than English and Greek.A third thing we know about language is that all languages are perfectly adequate.That is,each one is a perfect means of expressing the culture of the people who speak the language. Finally,we know that language changes.It is natural and normal for language to change;the only languages which do not change are the dead ones.This is easy to understand if we look backward in time.
