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. 
 
【4】41. What might be the author’s primary purpose of writing this passage? 
 To guarantee that swine flu viruses do not infect humans. 
 To testify that swine flu is the main cause of pigs’ death in the United States. 
 To show the urgent need of inventing specific vaccines to save pigs from being infected. 
 To introduce some basic information about swine flu viruses and how the flu can be prevented. 
【3】42. When do most outbreaks of swine flu happen? 
 They tend to happen on warm days.   
 They solely happen in late winter. 
 They mainly happen in the late fall and winter. 
 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.     
 Having red eyes. 
 Having high temperature.   
 Sending out liquids from eyes. 
【2】45. According to the passage, what is the most possible way to prevent pigs from being infected by particular 
swine flu? 
 Keep pigs outside in winter days.   
 Inject specific vaccines into pigs. 
 Feed pigs on soft drink and bread.   
 Invite vets to examine pigs every fall.
