【B】 The pandemic has underlined the extent 21 digital interaction is no substitute for the real thing. In some ways, I’m more in touch with people than ever thanks to the numerous WhatsApp groups that revived themselves into a constant source of company. But 22 away in a couple of group chats while absent-mindedly watching the latest Netflix offering doesn’t come close to the wonderful feeling of hugging a friend, or of spending three hours giving someone you haven’t seen for ages your undivided attention over a meal, or of having a conversation based not just on words but physical cues. I doubt the pandemic will seed a long-term distaste for crowds; if anything, I suspect that, if all goes well with the vaccine 23 , the coming summer will see a crop of riotous street parties and carnivals. But a return to life as usual will not mask the emotional toll Covid 24 on so many people. People who suffer from anxiety and depression, women in abusive relationships, children experiencing abuse or neglect at the hands of their parents: they have had it the worst, and their experiences of isolation and loneliness during lockdown could have consequences for their personal relationships that will not magically disappear with a vaccine. And that is before you factor in the added 25 of the intense financial hardship so many are being forced to endure. As a society, recovering from Covid is about much more than antibodies: it cannot happen without support for those who have experienced its worst financial and mental health impacts.

思路引導 VIP
請試著回想一下，當政府或企業準備好了一項新產品或新政策（例如新的防疫措施或新一代手機），並開始有計畫地將它推向市場、讓全國民眾都能使用時，我們會用哪一個動詞片語的複合名詞來形容這種「正式鋪貨、全面推廣」的動作呢？

恭喜你精準地選出了 (B) rollout，這說明你對於時事英文的敏感度極高，並能準確掌握上下文的邏輯關聯！這題的關鍵點在於理解疫情背景下的社會動態。
疫苗推行的語意搭配
在英語中，vaccine rollout 是一個極其常見的固定搭配，專門用來描述疫苗從研發完成到「正式大規模分發與接種」的整個過程。文意提到「如果疫苗的 ____ 進展順利，夏天將會迎來狂歡派對」，顯然這裡需要一個代表「推行」或「實施」的詞彙。選項 (A) radius（半徑）、(C) revenue（營收）與 (D) rebuke（斥責）在語意上都無法與疫苗及社會解封的因果關係產生連結。
