Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passages coherent and grammatically

correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other

blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.

The Antonine Plague (瘟疫)

The year was 166 C. E., and the Roman Empire was in its prime ( 鼎盛时期). The successful Roman troops,

under the command of Emperor Lucius Verrus, returned to Rome after defeating their Parthian enemies. As they

marched west toward Rome, they carried with them more than the spoils of Parthian temples; they also carried an

epidemic that ____11____ (ruin) the Roman Empire over the course of the next two decades.

The Antonine Plague, ____12____ was known later, would reach every corner of the empire and is

____13____ most likely claimed the life (夺取生命) of Lucius Verrus himself in 169 — and possibly ____14____

of his co-emperor Marcus Aurelius in 180.

The effect of the epidemic on Rome’s armies was obviously destructive. Closeness to sick fellow soldiers and

bad living conditions made it possible for the outbreak to spread rapidly throughout the troops, such as ____15____

who were based along the northern frontier at Aquileia. Troops elsewhere in the empire ____16____ (strike) in the

same way. To reverse their shrinking soldiers, they sent the sons of soldiers to troops. Army discharge certificates

(退伍证书) from the Balkan region suggest that there was an obvious decrease in the number of soldiers who were

allowed to retire from military service during the period of the plague.

The effect on the civilian population was evidently by no means less severe. In his letter to Athens in 174,

Marcus Aurelius loosened ( 放宽) the requirements for membership to the ruling council of Athens, ____17____

there were now too few surviving upper-class Athenians who met the requirements he ____18____ (introduce)

before the outbreak.

It has been estimated ____19____ the death rate over the 23-year period of the Antonine Plague was 7 - 10

percent of the population. Besides the practical consequences of the outbreak, the psychological impact on the

populations could not be ignored. It is easy to imagine the sense of fear and helplessness ____20____ ancient

Romans must have felt in the face of such a ruthless, painful, disfiguring and frequently fatal disease.
