答案 B

解析词义辨析【直击答案】本空格所在句是But it was still possible to vaccinate people in other highrisk groups:health care workers,people 20 infants and healthy young people.句子主干意为，但是对其他高危人群接种该疫苗仍是可行的，后面具体列举了这些人群的身份。由给出的四个选项可推出，所需填入词是动词的分词形式作后置定语。B项caring for“照顾，关心”与此处前面的care构成同义复现，故为正确选项，即照顾婴儿的人们。【命题思路】本题考查考生对动词和动词短语的辨析，同时也考查考生对上下文信息的理解。【干扰排除】C项concerned with“关心，关注”是强干扰项，其含义和B项有一定相似之处，但没有照顾之意，故排除。
