Measles(麻疹), which once killed 450 children each year and disabled even more,was nearly wiped out in the United States 14 years ago by the universal use ofthe MMR vaccine(疫苗). But thedisease is making a comeback, caused by a growing anti-vaccine movement andmisinformation that is spreading quickly. Already this year, 115 measles caseshave been reported in the USA, compared with 189 for all of last year.
The numbers might sound small, but they arethe leading edge of a dangerous trend. When vaccination rates are very high, asthey still are in the nation as a whole, everyone is protected. This is called“herd immunity”, which protects the people who get hurt easily, including thosewho zxxk can’t be vaccinated for medical reasons, babies too young to getvaccinated and people on whom the vaccine doesn’t work.
But herd immunity works only when nearly thewhole herd joins in. When some refuse vaccination and seek a free ride,immunity breaks down and everyone is in even bigger danger.
That’s exactly what is happening in smallneighborhoods around the country from Orange County, California, where 22measles cases were reported this month, to Brooklyn, N.Y., where a 17-year-oldcaused an outbreak last year.
The resistance to vaccine has continued fordecades, and it is driven by a real but very small risk. Those who refuse totake that risk selfishly make others suffer.
Making things worse are state laws that makeit too easy to opt out(决定不参加) of what are supposed to be required vaccines for all childrenentering kindergarten. Seventeen states allow parents to get an exemption(豁免), sometimes just by signing apaper saying they personally object to a vaccine.
Now, several states are moving to tightenlaws by adding new regulations for opting out. But no one does enough to limitexemptions.
Parents ought to be able to opt out only forlimited medical or religious reasons. But personal opinions? Not good enough.Everyone enjoys the life-saving benefits vaccines provide, but they’ll existonly as long as everyone shares in the risks.

答案
(63)A(64)C(65)D(66)C
解析
(63)文章第二段第一行:“…but they are the leading edge of a dangerous trend ”得知A选项正确;由文章第一段最后两行和第二自然段第一行得知,媒体只是报道,而且数字听起来很小,并没有吸引公众关注,B选项错误;前两段内容中C选项未提及;D选项无中生有,故A项正确。
(64)文章第三段第一行提到“But herd immunity works only when nearly the whole herd joins in”得知C选项为正确答案。由原文第6段看到“making things worse are state laws that make it too easy to opt out”得知A选项错误;第7段得知D选项错误,B选项文章未提及,故C项正确。
(65)文章由原文第6段,“Making things worse are state laws that make it too easy to opt out”可知D选项正确。A、B、C项原文未提及,故D项正确。
(66)根据最后一段第二行中“Everyone enjoys the life-saving benefits vaccines provide, but they’ll exist only as long as everyone shares in the risk”可以推断出C为正确答案,A选项错误。B项“讨论治疗麻疹的方法”,并不是中心论点;D项太过宽泛,过度推断,故C项正确。
