A
college
education
is
an
investment
in
the

But
it
can
be
a
47
one.
The

48
that the costs at a four-year public
college in the United States increased 10% this
past school year.

All

51
what are called 5-29 plans. These plans

of the programs.
Every state has its own
rules
53
5-29 plans. Some of the

54
of state taxes. And all are

There
is
progress
toward
a
possible
treatment
for
lung
diseases
such
as
SARS
(severe
acute
respiratory
syndrome).
Researchers
have
learned
more
about
how
the
SARS
virus works:
it
47
with
a system
in
the
body
that
uses
enzymes
(
酶
)
to
control
blood
pressure
and
fluid
balance.
Scientists
say
the
virus
48
to
an
enzyme
known as ACE-two. The virus blocks the enzyme,
permitting fluid to enter the lungs.
A
team
from
Europe
and
Asia
reported
the
49
in
Nature
Medicine.
Doctor
Josef
Penninger
of
the
Institute
of Molecular
Biotechnology
in the
Austrian
Academy of Sciences was the
50
writer of the report.
The
discovery could lead to a new
51
of treating not just SARS but also
other diseases that can cause lung
failure. These include avian flu
(
禽流感
) and influenza in
humans.
The
first
52
of SARS were
discovered in Guangdong province, in southern
China, in November of
2002. SARS was
not
53
as a worldwide threat until March of
2003. 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
54
high rate.
The
World
Health
Organization
warned
people
not
to
travel
to
55
areas.
The
56
hurt
international
travel and
business. The WHO says the disease stopped
spreading by July of 2003. As a result of SARS,
the health
agency got new powers to act
before a government officially announces a crisis.
A) means
F)
associates
K) optimistically
B) alternative
G) major
L) identified
C ) attaches
H) awful
M) interferes
D) crisis
I) relatively
N) distributed
E) cases
J) findings
O) affected

To call
something
“
marginal
”
means it
is not very
good. Farmers have their own way to
47
marginal
land: It is the last to be planted
under good conditions, and has the
48
to be avoided
under poor conditions.
Low
49
soil is not
the only reason land could be considered marginal.
It might be in an area where rainfall
is
50
or where a
hillside might rise too steeply.
There are uses
for marginal land, however. Most often it is used
as grassland.
Grasses
provide excellent
51
for grazing
(
吃草
) animals like cattle,
sheep and goats.
Grass seed
can be bought from a foreign supplier or
52
grasses can
be
used.
However,
using
marginal
land
for
grazing
is
not
a
simple
issue.
There
is
a
53
of
overgrazing. Cattle can
damage the crops by eating down to the roots.
Also, the weight of the animals crushes the
soil and can make it too hard for
growing. A(n)
54
way to reduce the harm is
to move animals from one field
to
another.
This method
is
known
as
rotational
grazing
(
循环放牧
) which
is
extremely
important
for
marginal
land.
Another use for marginal
land
is for tree crops. Studies have
55
that the white pine and loblolly pine
(
火炬松
)
are
two
kinds
of
trees
that
grow
well
on
such
land.
They
grow
fast
and
provide
good
quality
wood.
Another tree is the poplar
(
白杨
), found in
many parts of the world.
Failure
to
take
the
care
needed
to
protect
marginal
lands
can
make
a
bad
situation
worse.
But
good
planning can
56
a marginal resource into a
highly productive one.
A) feed
F) define
K) native
B)
priority
G) adequate
L) revealed
C)
transplant
H) transform
M)
prejudice
D) effective
I) discouraging
N) hazard
E) limited
J ) quality
O) recovered
