-3810266700At the beginning of 2021, the Chinese government said it will provide free COVID-19 vaccines (疫苗) to all Chinese citizens. Since then, tens of millions of people, mainly key groups such as medical workers, customs officers (海关官员) and delivery workers (快递员), have gotten the vaccine.
How does the vaccine work? Are you allowed to get it? What do you need to know before getting it? Let’s take a look.
Q: How does the vaccine work?
A: The vaccines China is now using are called “inactivated vaccines” (灭活疫苗). There are “dead” viruses (病毒) in these vaccines. They cannot cause the disease, but can show your body what the virus looks like and make you immune (免疫) to it.
Studies show that China’s vaccines are 79.34 percent effective. This means that for every 100 people who get vaccinated, about 79 people will become immune to the virus. If 79 percent of the whole population becomes immune, the possibility of COVID-19 spreading will be very low.
Q: How is the vaccine given?
A: The vaccine is given by injection (注射). It’s suggested to get two doses. You should wait about two weeks after the first dose to get the second one.
Q: Can people of all ages get vaccinated?
A: The vaccines have been tested among three different age groups: 3 to 17, 18 to 59, and 60 and above. The 18-to-59 age group has the most data (数据) – the vaccines have been proven to be safe to this group. The other two groups are expected to be included soon.
Q: Is there anyone who shouldn’t get vaccinated?
A: Experts say the vaccines are safe for most people. But people who have serious diseases such as cancer (癌症) or diabetes (糖尿病), or people who are allergic (过敏的) to any of the vaccine’s ingredients, should not get it. People who want to get the vaccine should not get any other vaccines during the same period.
Q: Do I still need to wear a mask in public places after I’ve been vaccinated?
A: Yes. It takes a few weeks for the body to build immunity after vaccination. This means it’s possible for a person to get infected (传染的) just after vaccination. There’s also a small chance that your body won’t build immunity. So before the population becomes immune to the virus, it’s highly encouraged to keep wearing masks, practicing social distancing (社交隔离) and washing your hands after getting vaccinated.
根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。（5分）
76. What does the underlined word “effective” mean in the fifth paragraph?
A. The vaccines work well to fight against the virus.
B. The vaccines are very expensive.
C. People are still testing the vaccines.
D. Some of the vaccines are dangerous for people.
77. What do we know about China’s COVID-19 vaccines?
A. They need active viruses to be effective.
B. The viruses in them won’t make people sick.
C. Studies show that about 21 percent of them are effective.
D. They won’t work until 79 percent of the population gets vaccinated.
78. Who can get the COVID-19 vaccine right now?
A. All Chinese citizens.
B. People aged 3 to 17.
C. People aged 18 to 59.
D. People aged 60 and above.
79. What do we know about people who want to get a COVID-19 vaccine?
A. They need to get two doses within a week.
B. They only need to pay a small amount of money.
C. They will have allergic reactions at first.
D. They shouldn’t get other vaccines at the same time.
80. People should still wear masks after getting vaccinated because _____.
a. they can spread the virus to others more easily
b. their bodies need time to build immunity
c. their bodies might not build immunity at all
d. masks help the vaccines take effect
A. ab B. bc C. ac D. bd
