Vaccination is one of the effective ways to protect the (1)_____ population of a region or country which may be (2)_____ grave risk. The process of vaccination allows the patient’s body to (3)_____ immunity to the virus or disease so that, if it is encountered, one can fight it (4)_____ naturally.

Information (8)_____ how to penetrate the disease’s defenses is (9)_____ to all elements of the patient’s immune system in a process that occurs naturally, in which genetic information is passed from cell to cell. This makes sure that (10)_____ the patient later come into contact with the real problem, his body is well equipped and trained to (11)_____ with it, having already done so before.
There are, however, dangers (12)_____ in the process. (13)_____, even the weakened version of the disease contained in the vaccine proves (14)_____ much for the body to handle, resulting in the immune system (15)_____, and, therefore, the patient’s death. Such is the case of the smallpox vaccine, (16)_____ to eradicate the smallpox epidemic that nearly (17)_____ the whole Native American population and killed massive numbers of settlers. (18)_____ 1 in 10,000 people who receive the vaccine (19)_____ the smallpox disease from the vaccine itself and dies from it.

选项
A、infects
B、affects
C、effects
D、contracts
答案
D
解析
词义搭配。contract在本句中的含义是(=catch or develop [an illness])感染(疾病),例如:contract SARS/a cold/typhoid(感染非典/感冒/伤寒)。contract作主动语态谓语动词用时,其主语是某人。infect vt.(=cause sb./sth. to have a disease)使某人/某物感染。例如:1)Anyone with SARS may infect the people around him.(患非典的人可能会使周围的人感染)。2)The SARS virus infected almost the entire class.(非典病毒感染了几乎全班学生)。从上述二例可以看到,infect意为"(某病源)使某人感染",而contract意为"(某人)感染得了(某病)"。affect vt. 影响effect vt.产生,均不能入选。
