14.French surgeons have performed what they said on Wednesday was the world's first partial face transplant(移植)---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(敏感) 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.
28.The best title for the passage would beA.
A.French Woman has First Partial Face Transplant
B.First Face Transplant Opens Debate
C.Risks and Ethical Problems of a Face Transplant

2.A language holiday is a combination of"holiday"and study abroad to learn or improve a foreign language.English language holidays are taken in English-speaking countries like England,the USA or Australia.While there,you study in a language school with students from many different countries.You live with local people,often staying with a host family.A language holiday can be of any length-from one week to one year-but most are two or three weeks.
What are the Benefits of a Language Holiday?
Language holidays have become a very popular method of learning English because they have many advantages:
Total Exposure  Because you are in an English-speaking country,you are constantly exposed to English from the time you wake up and have breakfast with your host family until late evening and your last drink in a local pub.You have little or no opportunity to escape the English language.This is how you learn your own language-constant exposure.
Mixed Classes   When you study in your own country,all the other students in your class speak your language,so you are not forced to use English.On a language holiday,students come from countries all over the world.It is possible that nobody in your class will speak your language,so you will just have to speak English!
Freedom From Pressure   On a language holiday you are away from home and can forget the everyday pressures of school or business.Your mind is more relaxed and you can learn more easily.
Cultural Understanding   Learning a language is not only about learning words.Different nations have different cultures.People think and behave differently.Their language is closely associated with their culture.By visiting and living in a foreign country,you learn to understand the culture and the people-and so better understand the language.
You'll find schools offering language holidays at EnglishClub.com ESL World.
68.You can have English language holidays in all the following countries except
B.
A.America.B.Austria      C.England          D.Australia

9.Dear friend,
For the past 17 years,you have been my best friend.I remember that you told me you were called Cigarette because of your features.You have seen me through difficult times,happy times and just about every stage of my life.You have always been here when I need you.Some of my family and friends didn't like you so much,but I've always been on your side.I thought you were a great friend,and I counted on you at all times,especially when I was not very happy.

19.When you make a mistake,big or small,cherish it like it's the most precious thing in the world.Because in some ways,it is.
Most of us feel bad when we make mistakes,beat ourselves up about it,feel like failures,get mad at ourselves.
And that's only natural:most of us have been taught from a young age that mistakes are bad,that we should try to avoid mistakes.We've been scolded when we make mistakes-at home,school and work.Maybe not always,but probably enough times to make feeling bad about mistakes an unconscious reaction.
Yet without mistakes,we could not learn or grow.If you think about it that way,mistakes should be cherished and celebrated for being one of the most amazing things in the world:they make learning possible; they make growth and improvement possible.
By trial and error-trying things,making mistakes,and learning from those mistakes-we have figured out how to make electric light,to paint the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel,to fly.
Mistakes make walking possible for the smallest toddler,make speech possible,make works of genius possible.
Think about how we learn:we don't just consume information about something and instantly know it or know how to do it.You don't just read about painting,or writing,or computer programming,or baking,or playing the piano,and know how to do them right away.Instead,you get information about something,from reading or from another person or from observing,then you make mistakes and repeat,making mistakes,learning from those mistakes,until you've pretty much learned how to do something.That's how we learn as babies and toddlers,and how we learn as adults.Mistakes are how we learn to do something new-because if you succeed at something,it's probably something you already knew how to do.You haven't really grown much from that success-at most it's the last step on your journey,not the whole journey.Most of the journey was made up of mistakes,if it's a good journey.
So if you value learning,if you value growing and improving,then you should value mistakes.They are amazing things that make a world of brilliance possible.
56.Why do most of us feel bad about making mistakes?C
A.Because mistakes make us suffer a lot.
B.Because it's a natural part in our life.
C.Because we've been taught so from a young age.
D.Because mistakes have ruined many people's careers.
57.According to the passage,what is the right attitude to mistakes?C
A.We should try to avoid making mistakes.
B.We should owe great inventions mainly to mistakes.
C.We should treat mistakes as good chances to learn.
D.We should make feeling bad about mistakes an unconscious reaction.
58.The underlined word"toddler"in Paragraph 6probably meansA.
A.a(chǎn) small child learning to walk            B.a(chǎn) kindergarten child learning to draw
C.a(chǎn) primary pupil learning to read          D.a(chǎn) school teenager learning to write
59.We can learn from the passage thatB.
A.most of us can really grow from success
B.growing and improving are based on mistakes
C.we learn to make mistakes by trial and error
D.we read about something and know how to do it right away.
