Question

【題目】French surgeons have performed what they said on Wednesday was the world's first partial face transplant--- giving a new nose, chin and lips to a woman attacked by a dog.

Specialists from two French hospitals carried out the operation on a 38-year-old woman on Sunday in the northern city of Amiens by taking the face from a brain-dead woman, who had hanged herself just hours before the operation. Her family agreed on the operation.

“The patient is in an excellent state and the transplant looks normal,” the hospitals said in a brief statement after waiting three days to announce the pioneering surgery.

The woman had been left without a nose and lips after the dog attacked her last May, and was unable to talk or chew properly. Such injuries are “extremely difficult, if not impossible” to repair using normal surgical techniques, the statement said.

The statement did not say what the woman would look like when she had fully recovered, but medical experts said she was unlikely to resemble the woman who had been the source of her new face.

The operation was led by Jean-Michel Dubernard, a specialist from a hospital in Lyon who has also carried out hand transplants,

Skin transplants have long been used to treat burns and other injuries, but operations around the mouth and nose have been considered very difficult because of the area's high sensitivity to foreign tissue.

Teams in France, the United States and Britain had been developing techniques to make face transplants a reality

There was a short-term risk for the patient if blood vessels became blocked, a medium-term danger of her body rejecting the new skin and a long-term possibility that the drugs used could cause cancers.

Experts say that although such medical advances should be celebrated, the transplant had thrown up moral（道德的）and ethical(倫理的)issues. Little is known about the psychological effect of the transplant.

試題分析：文章說的是一位女士被狗咬，法國外科醫(yī)生為她做了世界上第一例面部移植手術(shù)。并關(guān)于這種手術(shù)引發(fā)的一些事情進行了敘述。

【1】A細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段French surgeons have performed what they said on Wednesday was the world's first partial face transplant--- giving a new nose, chin and lips to a woman attacked by a dog.法國外科醫(yī)生在星期三給一個被狗襲擊的婦女做了世界上第一例面部移植手術(shù)。故選A。

【2】A細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段the world's first partial face transplant--- giving a new nose, chin and lips to a woman attacked by a dog.從這里可知這位婦女要做面部手術(shù)，她的臉被狗咬了，故選A。

【3】D詞義猜測題。根據(jù)第五段The statement did not say what the woman would look like when she had fully recovered, but medical experts said she was unlikely to resemble the woman who had been the source of her new face. 聲明沒有說當(dāng)她完全恢復(fù)這位女士會看起來像什么，但是醫(yī)學(xué)專家說她不太可能像女人新面孔的來源。故劃線單詞意思應(yīng)該是“相似”，故選D。

【4】B推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段“The patient is in an excellent state and the transplant looks normal,” the hospitals said in a brief statement after waiting three days to announce the pioneering surgery.等了三天之后，醫(yī)院簡短的陳述“病人處于極好的狀態(tài)，一直看起來很正常�！毙�布動手術(shù)�？芍�手術(shù)引起了辯論，故選B。

【5】C排除題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段There was a short-term risk for the patient if blood vessels became blocked, a medium-term danger of her body rejecting the new skin and a long-term possibility that the drugs used could cause cancers.可知手術(shù)要遇到的風(fēng)險有blood vessels became blocked血管被堵塞；danger of her body rejecting the new skin她的身體拒絕新皮膚；the drugs used could cause cancers藥物可能引起癌癥的可能性。文章中沒有提到“heart damage”，根據(jù)句意可知選C。
