三、閱讀測驗【請依照段落上下文意,選出最適當的答案】
Swine Influenza (swine flu) is a respiratory disease of pigs caused by type A influenza virus that
regularly causes outbreaks of influenza in pigs. Swine flu viruses do not usually infect humans, but rare human
infections have occurred. They can cause high levels of illness in pig herds, but cause few deaths in pigs. These
viruses can circulate among swine throughout the year, but most outbreaks occur during the late fall and winter
months, similar to outbreaks in humans.
Like influenza viruses in humans and other animals, swine flu viruses change constantly. Pigs can be
infected by avian influenza and human influenza viruses as well as swine influenza viruses. When influenza viruses
from different species infect pigs, they can re-assort (i.e. swap genes) and new viruses that are a mix of swine,
human and/or avian influenza viruses can emerge. Over the years, different variations of swine flu viruses have
emerged. At this time, there are three main influenza A virus subtypes that have been isolated in pigs in the
United States: H1N1, H1N2, and H3N2.
Signs of swine flu in pigs can include fever, depression, coughing (barking), discharge from the nose or eyes,
sneezing, breathing difficulties, eye redness or inflammation, and going off feed. Some pigs infected with influenza,
however, may show no signs of illness at all. Thankfully, just as there are influenza vaccines for people, there are
specific swine influenza vaccines available for pigs.

To testify that swine flu is the main cause of pigs’ death in the United States.

【3】42. When do most outbreaks of swine flu happen?

It depends on when the outbreaks will affect humans.
【3】43. Why do swine flu viruses change constantly?
The weather in the United States is changeable.
The symptoms of swine flu change in different seasons.
Influenza viruses from different species exchange their genes.
The main virus subtypes change their genetic structures automatically.
【1】44. Which of the following symptoms is probably NOT a sign of swine flu in pigs?
Feeling itchy.
