选项 A、released
B、relayed
C、relieved
D、remained

答案A

解析 本题考查考生语言逻辑判断和同形词汇辨别和使用能力。本题出现在文章最后一段。本段主要讲述美国联邦政府医疗卫生部门为应对甲流给儿童发放疫苗,这种疫苗还存在不足。例如不能适用于孕期女性、老龄或是患有某些疾病的人群,但可能对其他高危人群适用。在此句中需填入的是谓语动词,主语为联邦政府医疗卫生部门,宾语为疫苗达菲(Tamiflu),选项[A]released表示“公布;发放”,选项[B]relayed表示“传达;转播”,选项[C]relieved表示“减轻;缓解”,选项[D]remained表示“保持、剩余”。此处符合逻辑的搭配应该是“发放疫苗”,所以选项[A] released为正确答案。
