【答案解析】[听力原文]
The World Health Organization has launched a website intended to help reduce the number of people killed or disabled by snake bites around the world.
It estimates that
some one hundred thousand people die every year out of the two and a half million who are bitten by snakes.
Do you know the difference between a puff adder and a Gaboon viper? Where would you want to go if you got bitten by either one? They"re both deadly and look broadly similar. But some types of anti-venoms only work for the puff adder. It"s then that you"d want to access a site like this. This database provides a photographic guide to all poisonous snakes in the world and advice on appropriate anti-venoms. The WHO hopes it can be used by health workers and by governments to plan what anti-venoms they should reserve.
