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【C1】________by the World Health Organization in 41 years.
    The heightened alert【C2】________an emergency meeting with flu experts in Geneva that convened after a sharp rise in cases in Australia, and rising【C3】________in Britain, Japan, Chile and elsewhere.
    But the epidemic is "【C4】________" in severity, according to Margaret Chan, the organization’s director general,【C5】________the overwhelming majority of patients experiencing only mild symptoms and a full recovery, often in the【C6】________of any medical treatment.
    The outbreak came to global【C7】________in late April 2009, when Mexican authorities noticed an unusually large number of hospitalizations and deaths【C8】________healthy adults. As much of Mexico City shut down at the height of a panic, cases began to【C9】________in New York City, the southwestern United States and around the world.
    In the United States, new cases seemed to fade【C10】________warmer weather arrived. But in late September 2009, officials reported there was【C11】________flu activity in almost every state and that virtually all the【C12】________ tested are the new swine flu, also known as (A) H1N1, not seasonal flu. In the U.S., it has【C13】________more than one million people, and caused more than 600 deaths and more than 6,000 hospitalizations.
    Federal health officials【C14】________Tamiflu for children from the national stockpile and began【C15】________ orders from the states for the new swine flu vaccine. The new vaccine, which is different from the annual flu vaccine, is【C16】________ahead of expectations. More than three million doses were to be made available in early October 2009, though most of those【C17】________doses were of the FluMist nasal spray type, which is not 【C18】________for pregnant women, people over 50 or those with breathing difficulties, heart disease or several other【C19】________. But it was still possible to vaccinate people in other high-risk group: health care workers, people【C20】________infants and healthy young people.
【C16】
选项 A、feasible
B、available
C、reliable
D、applicable
答案B
解析 本题考查形容词辨析。本形容词的被修饰成分是The new vaccine，同时形容词之后的原文信息是ahead of expectations(比人们的预期要早)。而之后的句子信息说“超过300万剂在2009年10月初可以投入使用”，前后两句话明显是有关联性的信息，因此本填空的形容词也应该是说投入使用的问题：通过分析前后两个句子对应成分可以看出两个句子的基本结构是一致的，所表达的意思是具有关联性的，都是在阐述新疫苗投入使用的时间问题。本填空的形容词对应后句中的已知形容词available，因此本填空形容词就是available的同义复现，答案为B项available。其他选项例如A项feasible(可行的)、C项reliable(可靠的)和D项applicable(适用的)不符合原文上下文所表达的意思。
