10、the rounds. But dont expect any improvements. Flu experts are already admitting that most vaccines will give at best basic protection, because theyre based on old-fashioned technology. Its not a new problem, but one that the slow-moving world of drug and vaccine production seems helpless to improve
11、upon.Every flu vaccine is a cocktail, aimed at either three or four of the most common flu types. Flu vaccines must be reformulated every year, because flu viruses develop constantly in a process called antigenic drift. In February, global flu experts gather to trade notes on what viruses are circul
12、ating in different countries and to come to an agreement on which types the next vaccines should be formulated to target.In recent years, flu vaccines have been based on H1N1, H3N2 and either one or two types of influenza B virus. Each of these has a “reference” type, which is used to make seed viru
13、s. Producers inject the seed types into eggs and incubate (孵) them as the virus grows. Then they purify the virus, and either weaken it or kill it to make a vaccine.Using eggs is a tricky and unpredictable process. Sometimes the virus doesnt grow well in eggs, which can mean less vaccine than expect
14、ed. The result is a flu vaccine that doesnt offer much protection. “As long as we have eggs we are going to have this problem,” said Scott Hensley, a flu virus expert, “The only solution is not to depend on eggs.”Flu is a major killer. The 20172018 season has been a severe one, hitting the entire U.
15、S. with widespread influenza infection (传染) at once for weeks on end, and killing 97 children so far. Against this threat, even a less satisfying flu vaccine will definitely help. “Even when you have these mismatches it will not prevent infection but likely prevent disease severity,” said Hensley.42
16、4. Why does next season flu vaccine fail to improve?A. It has offered the best protection.B. Experts cant forecast the flu types.C. It is based on outdated technology.D. Experts are unwilling to respond to changes.25. According to Paragraph 2, what do flu experts do in February?A. Exchange views on
17、the virus types next season.B. Get together and discuss how to improve flu vaccines.C. Sign an agreement on vaccine production.D. Decide on how to circulate the viruses.26. What might be the risk of using eggs to make vaccines?A. Seeds are less likely to get protection.B. Viruses might not be develo
18、ped as expectedC. There are not enough eggs to be used.D. Whether vaccines will grow is hard to predict.27. What message does the underlined sentence convey?A. Egg-based vaccines are better than nothing.B. The U.S. is faced with serious flu attacks.C. There is something wrong with flu vaccines.D. Fl

20、s Royal Botanic Gardens look like tiny foxes with wings. Officials have estimated there are about 11,000 of them living in the picturesque harbor-side park.

22、n. “The way to disturb them is to use noises, so weve used the loud noises made by rubbish bins in the past. You can also use speakers as long as you move the noise around, and what well do is have a series of noises, at the beginning and end of the day. What weve found in the past is that the flyin

29、re Library, puts it: “Future Library is an artwork for future generations.” These projects, more than a century in the making, are part of a new wave of “slow art” intended to push viewers and participants to think beyond their own lifetimes. They aim to challenge todays short-term thinking and the
30、brief attention spans of modern consumers, forcing people into considering works more deliberately.
