问题     The outbreak of swine flu that was first detected in Mexico was declared a global epidemic on June 11 , 2009. It is the first worldwide epidemic【B1】______by the World Health Organization in 41 years.
    The heightened alert【B2】______an emergency meeting with flu experts in Geneva that assembled after a sharp rise in cases in Australia, and rising【B3】______in Britain, Japan, Chile and elsewhere.
    But the epidemic is"【B4】______"in severity, according to Margaret Chan, the organization’s director general ,【B5】______the overwhelming majority of patients experiencing only mild symptoms and a full recovery, often in the【B6】______of any medical treatment.
    The outbreak came to global【B7】______in late April 2009, when Mexican authorities noted an unusually large number of hospitalizations and deaths【B8】______healthy adults. As much of Mexico City shut down at the height of a panic, cases began to【B9】______in New York City, the southwestern United States and around the world.
    In the United States, new cases seemed to fade【B10】______warmer weather arrived. But in late September 2009, officials reported there was【B11】______flu activity in almost every state and that virtually all the【B12】______tested are the new swine flu, also known as (A) H1N1 , not seasonal flu. In the U. S. , it has【B13】______more than one million people, and caused more than 600 deaths and more than 6, 000 hospitalizations.
    Federal health officials【B14】______Tamiflu for children from the national stockpile and began【B15】______orders from the slates for the new swine flu vaccine. The new vaccine, which is different from the annual flu vaccine, is【B16】______ahead of expectations. More than three million doses were to be made available in early October 2009, though most of those【B17】______doses were of the FluMist nasal spray type, which is not【B18】______for pregnant women, people over 50 or those with breathing difficulties, heart disease or several other【B19】______. But it was still possible to vaccinate people in other high-risk groups; health care workers, people【B20】______infants and healthy young people.
【B16】
选项 A、feasible
B、available
C、reliable
D、applicable
答案B
解析 本题考查考生的逻辑关系推理能力和词汇掌握能力。本句是最后一段的第二句。前句中 讲到政府给儿童发放疫苗并接受来自各州对于新疫苗的订单。而第三句讲的是在10月之前就应该可以提供300多万支疫苗，所以本句应该是承上启下的一句，即新疫苗比预期更早上市。选项[A]feasible“可行的”，选项[C]reliable“可靠的”和选项[D]applicable“适合的”都可以指疫苗的适用性，但是与市场供应无关。选项[B]available“可用的，可获得的”可以表示新疫苗现已上市，可以让病患使用。因此正确答案为选项[B]。
