【解析】

试题分析：本文介绍了埃博拉病毒爆发的相关情况，以及人们该如何保护自己免遭病毒的侵袭。

【1】E 前文提到埃博拉是一种致命的病毒，下文提到其症状，所以此处应该说明埃博拉的症状的情况，故应填入E项。

【2】A 下文说明埃博拉病毒的传播途径，小标题概括这部分内容，故应填入A项“人如何会感染埃博拉病毒？”。

【3】F 下文说明埃博拉病毒的爆发情况，因此小标题应该是“病毒爆发是什么情况？”故应填F项。

【4】B 根据上下文内容，科学家不知道埃博拉病毒来自哪里，第一个人怎样感染上病毒的，而非洲的热带动物带有这种病毒，此处应该填入“他们(科学家们)认为有人通过接触或者食用已经感染的动物而染上了病毒。”故B项正确。
