解析词义辨析【直击答案】本空格所在句是The heightened alert 2 an emergency meeting with flu experts in Geneva that assembled after a sharp rise in cases in Australia.解答本题，空格后面的信息是关键，“澳大利亚的病例急剧增多后，日内瓦的流感专家召开了紧急会议”，再联系空格前面the heightened alert“各地警戒级别进一步提高”，根据前后逻辑可判断出，由于紧急会议的召开，人们对这一流行病提高了警惕。在给出的四个选项中，只有C项followed用来衔接上下文可表达该逻辑关系。故答案为C项。【命题思路】本题考查对上下文逻辑的理解，同时也考查词汇辨析能力。【干扰排除】A项proceed“继续进行，开始着手”具有强干扰，如不明晰上下文逻辑关系，很容易误选A项。
