2、n 30 surgeons and nurses worked for about 15 hours to transplant the forehead, nose, lips, facial skin, underlying muscles and the nerves that power them and provide sensation(知覺) from a donor to Wiens, whose head came in contact with a high­voltage line on Nov. 13, 2008.Bohdan Pomahac, the sur

3、geon, said the team was not able to bring back Wiens's eyesight. But Wiens should be able to regain up to 90 percent of normal sensation on the right side of his forehead, right cheek, most of his upper lip and his entire lower lip. Nerve damage was too great for there to be more than tiny sensa

4、tion in the left check and left forehead, Pomahac said. Doctors say the goal of the operation was to improve Wiens's ability to breathe, eat and talk and restore his face's social expression. When Wiens recovers, he will not look like he once did, nor will he look like the donor, but “probab

5、ly somewhere in the middle，” Pomahac said. The match between the donor and the recipient (接受者) was made based on race, similar age and blood type, etc. Pomahac said he was worried the operation would not be successful when he first saw Wiens. His injuries were covering so large that doctors weren

6、9;t sure there were enough remaining nerves or structures to connect to a new face.Pomahac said he was determined to try his best because of what a patient with similar injuries had told him some years ago. That patient had numerous surgeries(外科手術(shù)), with only modest results. When Pomahac asked why t

7、he patient sought repeated surgery, he told the doctor, “I just want a taxi to stop when I'm waiting for one.”美國波士頓醫(yī)院上周成功進(jìn)行了第一例面部全換手術(shù).1.

9、ve damage was too great for there to be more than tiny sensation in the left check and left forehead.”可知，Wiens左側(cè)神經(jīng)傷害如此大以至于他面部左側(cè)無法恢復(fù)，所以A項(xiàng)正確而B項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤；由第一段可知，Wiens而非捐獻(xiàn)者在三年前頭部碰到了高壓線，所以C項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤；由第六段第一句話“Pomahac said he was worried the operation would not be successful when he first saw Wiens.”可知，Pomahac并不確信手術(shù)是否會(huì)

10、成功，所以D項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤.3We can learn from the passage when Wiens recovers, he will look like _.A. what he used to be B. the donorC.

11、dle，”可知，手術(shù)后Wiens既不會(huì)像自己旳過去，也不會(huì)像捐獻(xiàn)者，而是兩者旳結(jié)合，所以他會(huì)長得有點(diǎn)像Wiens，也有點(diǎn)像捐獻(xiàn)者.4We can infer from the last paragraph that Pomahac's former patient _. A. experienced many surgeries with good effect B. suffered a lot because of his ugly­looking face C. wanted a taxi to stop when he was waiting for oneD. ha

12、d a strong determination to bring back his eyesight 答案：B.推理判斷題.由最后一段“.with only modest results”可知，那位病人旳手術(shù)不很成功；再由病人旳話可推知，該病人攔出租車時(shí)，出租車司機(jī)都不敢停車，因?yàn)椴∪碎L得太丑了.C項(xiàng)本身正確，但是不選，因?yàn)樵擁?xiàng)不是推理出來旳，而是文章直接提到旳.B (·寧德質(zhì)檢，B)TOEFL stands for Test of English as a Foreign Language, which assesses the proficiency (熟練) of Engli

35、al Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said in December 2008 that safety rules were out of date, and strong earthquakes would cause a “serious problem” for the power stations.A US. embassy document, by quoting(引用)an unnamed expert, states: “He (the IAEA official) explained that safety guides for earthquakes

36、 have only been updated three times in the last 35 years and that the IAEA is now re­examining them. Also, the presenter noted recent earthquakes in some cases have gone beyond the design basis for some nuclear plants, and that this is a serious problem that is now driving earthquake safety wor

37、k.”The Telegraph also reports that the government responded to the warnings by building an emergency response center at the Fukushima Daiichi plant designed to resist magnitude­7.0 earthquakes. Friday's earthquake, originally named a magnitude­8.9 shock, has since been upgraded to magn

48、ed land, so that the buildings don'tdestroy forests.Marty Dettling is project manager for a building that put these ideas into action. The Solaire has been called the country's first green high­rise building. According to Dettling, “We've reduced our energy use by one­third and

49、 our water by 50 percent.”The Solaire cuts energy in past by using solar power. “On the face of the building we have solar panels(板) which change the sun's energy into electricity，” Dettling explained. The Solaire also has lights that automatically turn off when people leave the room. In additio

50、n, the building has lots of windows, allowing people to use the sun for light during the day. The Solaire cuts water reusing it.Not everyone is eager to move into a green building, however. Some people think that things like solar panels cost more money than more traditional energy sources. Anyhow,
