Question

Anti-bird flu contingency (意外事故) measures, including a proposal to separate poultry from humans and a series of traffic and logistics (后勤) measures will be discussed at the Legislative Council's Food Safety and Environmental Hygiene Panel meeting next month. Secretary for Health, Welfare and Food Dr York Chow says the contingency plan would come into force if an outbreak occurred near Hong Kong.
Speaking on a radio talk show this morning, Dr Chow said the separation of poultry from humans policy, which will be determined after a decision whether to set up a central slaughtering (屠宰) house or several regional ones, would be based on the demand for live chickens.
He pointed out that at present there were 30,000 live chickens imported from the Mainland and 30,000 supplied locally. If this demand persisted, there would be no central slaughtering house or wholesale point that could handle such an amount and regional slaughtering houses could be the choice.
He added that building of regional slaughtering houses took time, but stressed the need to study the views of the public and the sector before a final decision was made.
Regarding avian flu vaccination (種痘) for humans, Dr Chow said it was still being developed. He added that it may not be reliable in the case of an outbreak as records show vaccination can only offer 5% protection against a virus.
He said Hong Kong had more experience and expertise than neighbouring territories in the fight against viral outbreaks, and was willing to offer them help. He added there was no “boundary” for infectious diseases and close cooperation among different countries had to be maintained to fight against a possible outbreak.

Answer 1

AABC
1.推理判斷題。根據(jù)預(yù)防禽流感的一系列措施可判斷政府對此非常重視，正計劃采取行動抵制禽流感。
2.推理判斷題。根據(jù)前兩段的第一句話可知。
3.細節(jié)理解題。第4段中提到“but stressed the need to study the views of the public…”，可見政府非常重視聽取公眾的意見。
4.細節(jié)理解題。Dr York Chow只是說香港在處理瘟疫方面比周邊地區(qū)或國家更富有經(jīng)驗，所以他并不是說其它地區(qū)或國家凡事都要向香港請教。
