Scientists say the virus【S2】______to an enzyme known as ACE-two. The virus blocks the enzyme, permitting fluid to enter the lungs.

The disease spread to 26 countries, most of them in the Asia-Pacific area. An estimated 8, 000 people had SARS. More than 770 of them died, or about 10% , a【S8】______high rate.
    The World Health Organization warned people not to travel to【S9】______areas. The【S10】______hurt international travel and business.  The W. H.

选项
答案G
解析 此处需填入一个形容词或相当于形容词的单词(动词的现在或过去分词、名词虽然也可以用来修饰名词，但只在前面几种情况不符的情况下才考虑)，可选范围缩小到B、G、H、 L、N和O；这里上下文均末对这报告进行评价，故这里的形容词必须是中性的，故可排除H、L、 O；N与writer这个表示人的名词在这里搭配不当，而alternative是表示可选择的，但是上下文均未提到该报告其他作者的情况，故填入alternative也不恰当；故可确定正确答案为G。
