单选题 Allergy Reports Prompt Vaccine RecallKUALA LUMPUR - The Health Department recalled 5,000 doses of tetanus vaccine after receiving several reports about its side effects on patients.According to the department, 30 patients from around the capital suffered from rashes last week after receiving the shots at state hospitals, indicating a high rate of allergic reactions to the medicine. Health Secretary Rajah Hashmid immediately recalled the vaccines and ordered public hospitals to stop using them.Manufactured by Indian pharmaceutical company Alhira, the tetanus vaccines were imported by the government last month along with other medicines. An investigation into the patients' cases is underway.

单选题 Why did Rajah Hashmid suspend use of the vaccines?

A、 They had passed an expiration date.
B、 They cause an adverse physical response.
C、 They were exposed to toxic materials.
D、 They were not approved by the Health Deparment.

【正确答案】 B

【答案解析】解析：本题是问Rajah Hashmid为何(Why)暂停使用疫苗，应定位至原文中提及题目核心语句Rajah Hashmid suspend use of vaccines相关内容的部分。原文中提到“30 patients…indicating a high rate of allergic reactions to the medicine．Health Secretary Rajah Hashmid…public hospitals to stop using them．”，即30名患者在接受了疫苗注射后出现了高概率的药物过敏反应，因此卫生部部长拉贾·哈什米德指示公立医院停止使用该疫苗。因此(B)They cause an adverse physical response．为正确答案。

单选题 What is mentioned about the shots?

A、 They were provided free of charge.
B、 They were only available at private hospitals.
C、 They were required for government workers.
D、 They were shipped from a foreign country.

【正确答案】 D

【答案解析】解析：本题需要在文章中搜索题目核心词the shots的相关内容并与选项进行对照。(A)在原文中没有被提及。原文中提到“Health Secretary…ordered public hospitals to stop using them.”，即卫生部部长拉贾·哈什米德指示公立医院停止使用该疫苗，故(B)与原文内容不符。(C)在原文中没有被提及。原文中提到“Manufactured by Indian pharmaceutical company Alhira，the tetanus vaccines were imported…”，即进口了印度制药公司生产的预防破伤风的疫苗，故(D)与原文内容一致，因此(D)They were shipped from a foreign country．为正确答案。
