Scientists around the world are racing to create and test vaccines（疫苗）to help protect people
against the COVID-19. They are making progress, and some vaccines have been ready.
There are many different ways to make vaccines. At least 115 different vaccines for the
COVID-19 are being developed around the world right now. Many of them may not work or may
have side effects that can be dangerous. That is why testing is very important.
Before a vaccine is ever tested on humans, it’s first tested on animals to make sure it seems
safe. Testing the vaccine on humans is done in several different periods. In Period 1, a small group
of people are given small amounts of the vaccine to see if it has any bad effects.
Period 2 still tests the vaccine’s safety, but it’s mainly a test to see if the vaccine seems to
work. If Period 2 goes well, the vaccine can begin Period 3. During Period 3，the vaccine is tried on
a much larger group of people to see how well it works.
Because of the serious and worldwide influence of the COVID-19, there is huge pressure to
develop a working vaccine quickly. It usually takes seven or more years to develop a safe vaccine
that works well. However, Chinese scientists spent only about half a year to create working
vaccines. And many people have got the vaccine so far.
( ) 21. How many different vaccines for COVID-19 are being developed around the world right
now?
A. Less than 100. B. More than 200.
C. About 115. D. No more than 7.
( ) 22. The scientists who are making vaccines are __________.
A. hard-working and careful B. patient and easy-going
C. humorous and curious（好奇的） D. interested and brave
( ) 23. How long does it take to create working vaccines in the usual way?
A. Less than a year. B. More than ten years.
C. About one year or one and half a year. D. About seven years.
( ) 24. Which of the following is TRUE?
A. All the 115 vaccines are safe for people.
B. There are only three periods in testing vaccines.
C. Working vaccines were created in about half a year in China.
D. Only a few people have got the vaccine so far.( ) 25. What’s the best title of the passage?
