选项 A.feasible
B.available
C.reliable
D.applicable

答案 B

解析词义辨析【直击答案】本空格所在句是The new vaccine,which is different from the annual flu vaccine,is__16 ahead of expectations.句中的which is different from the annual flu vaccine是主语the new vaccine的定语从句，意为“不同于年度流感疫苗的新疫苗”，再联系空格后信息，可推断出本题答案为B项available“可得到的，可使用的”。【命题思路】本题考查对相同后缀构成的形容词的辨析，同时也考查考生对上下文信息的理解。【干扰排除】四个选项都为加able后缀构成的形容词，有干扰性。D项applicable“可实施的，可应用的”干扰性强，因为考生会误理解为该疫苗是可适用的，但联系下文信息，可排除此项。
