    The heightened alert【2】an emergency meeting with flue experts in Geneva that assembled after a sharp rise in cases in Australia, and rising【3】in Britain, Japan, Chile and elsewhere.
    But the epidemic is "【4】" in severity, according to Margaret Chan, the organization’s director general,【5】the overwhelming majority of patients experiencing only mild symptoms and a full recovery, often in the【6】of any medical treatment.
    The outbreak came to global【7】in late April 2009, when Mexican authorities noted an unusually large number of hospitalizations and deaths【8】healthy adults. As much of Mexico City shut down at the height of a panic, cases began to【9】in New York City, the southwestern United States and around the world.
    In the United States, new cases seemed to fade【10】warmer weather arrived. But in late September 2009, officials reported there was【11】flu activity in almost every state and that virtually all the【12】tested are the new swine flu, also known as(A)H1N1, not seasonal flu.

The new vaccine, which is different from the annual flu vaccine, is【16】ahead of expectation. More than three million doses were to be made available in early October 2009, though most of those【17】doses were of the FluMist nasal spray type, which is not【18】for pregnant women, people of 50 or those with breathing difficulties, heart disease or several other【19】.

【16】
选项 A、feasible
B、available
C、reliable
D、applicable
答案B
解析 词汇题(词义选择)。该空格中需要形容词做表语，其主语是The new vaccine，空格之后的ahead of expectation意为“比预料提前”，由此推断空格中需要“可以使用，可以得到”等类似含义。A项feasible意为“可行的，行得通的”，不符合上下文语意；B项available意为“可得到的，可用的”，符合上下文语意，为本题答案；C项reliable意为“可靠的，可依赖的”，不符合上下文语意；D项applicable意为“适当的，合适的”，不符合题意。
