       Full face transplants are no longer science fiction fantasy, a leading surgeon has said, adding that they are technically feasible(可行的)but ethically complex.

       Peter Butler from London’s Royal Free Hospital called for a debate on the ethics of such an operation made possible by new drugs which stop the body’s immune(免疫的)system rejecting a transplanted face. “It is not ‘Can we do it?’ but ‘Should we do it?’” he told the BBC.“The technical part is not complex, but I don’t think that’s going to be the very great difficulty. The ethical and moral debate is obviously going to have to take place before the first facial transplantation.”

       The British Association of Plastic Surgeons will discuss the microsurgical procedure (微型外科技術(shù)), which could give new skin, bone, noses, chin, lips and ears from deceased donors to patients disfigured(毀容)by accidents, burns or cancer. But surgeons could have trouble finding enough willing donors. Butler said his survey of doctors, nurses and members of the public showed most would accept a face transplant but few were willing to donate their own after dying.

       Despite a number of ethical concerns, Christine Piff, who founded the charity Let’s Face It after suffering a rare facial cancer 25 years ago, welcomed the possibility of face transplants. She rejected the idea that the procedure would mean people would end up living with a dead person’s face. “There are so many people without faces, I have half a face… but we are all so much more than just a face… you don’t take on their personality. You are still you,” she told reporters. “If we can donate other organs of the body, then why not the face? I can’t see anything wrong with it.”

試題詳情

61.The underlined word “deceased” in the third paragraph can be replaced by “        ”.

       A.living            B.dead           C.disabled                              D.dying

       C.a(chǎn)re seriously injured by an accident

       Everybody is happy as his pay rises. Yet pleasure at your own can disappear if you learn that a fellow worker has been given a bigger one. Indeed, if he is known as being lazy, you might even be quite cross. Such behavior is regarded as “all too human”, with the underlying belief that other animals would not be able to have this finely developed sense of sadness. But a study by Sarah Brosnan of Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia, which has just been published in Nature, suggests that it is all too monkey, as well.

The researchers studied the behaviors of some kind of female brown monkeys. They look smart. They are good-natured, co-operative creatures, and they share their food happily. Above all, like female human beings, they tend to pay much closer attention to the value of “goods and services” than males.

Such characteristics make them perfect subjects for Doctor Brosnan’s study. The researchers spent two years teaching their monkeys to exchange tokens(獎券)-some rocks, for food. Normally, the monkeys were happy enough to exchange pieces of rock for pieces of cucumber. However, when two monkeys were placed in separate and connected rooms, so that each other could observe what the other is getting in return for its rock, they became quite different.

In the world of monkeys, grapes are excellent goods (and much preferable to cucumbers). So when one monkey was handed a grape in exchange for her token, the second was not willing to hand hers over for a mere piece of cucumber. And if one received a grape without having to provide her token in exchange at all, the other either shook her own token at the researcher, or refused to accept the cucumber. Indeed, the mere presence of a grape in the other room (without an actual monkey to eat it) was enough to bring about dissatisfaction in a female monkey.

The researches suggest that these monkeys, like humans, are guided by social senses. In the wild, they are co-operative and group-living. Such co-operation is likely to be firm only when each animal feels it is not being cheated. Feelings of anger when unfairly treated, it seems, are not the nature of human beings alone. Refusing a smaller reward completely makes these feelings clear to other animals of the group. However, whether such a sense of fairness developed independently in monkeys and humans, or whether it comes from the common roots that they had 35 million years ago, is, as yet, an unanswered question.

試題詳情

66.Female monkeys of this kind are chosen for the research most probably because they are    .

       A.more serious about what they get

       B.a(chǎn)ttentive to researchers’ instructions

       C.nice in both appearance and behaviors

       D.more ready to help others than their male companions

試題詳情

67.The underlined statement “it is all too monkey” means that_______.

       A.monkeys are also angry with lazy fellows

       B.feeling bitter at unfairness is also monkey’s nature

       C.monkeys, like humans, tend to be envious of each other

       D.no animals other than monkeys can develop such feelings

試題詳情

68.When one monkey received a grape for free, the other would          .

       A.not be willing to hand over her token

       B.shake her hands and get angry

       C.have to exchange her token for the cucumber

       D.refuse to accept the cucumber

試題詳情

69.Which of the following conclusions is TRUE according to the passage?

       A.Human beings’ feelings of anger are developed from the monkeys.

       B.In the research, male monkeys are less likely to exchange food with others.

       C.Co-operation between monkeys stays firm before the realization of being cheated.

       D.Only monkeys and humans have the sense of fairness dating from 35 million years ago.

試題詳情

       D.They feel angry when they receive small rewards.

The Linguistic Habits of a New Generation

       In the year of 1914 a young girl named Monica Baldwin entered a convent(女修道院),remaining there until 1941 when she returned to the outer world. During these twenty-eight years wars and revolutions had come and gone in Europe. Her uncle, Stanley Baldwin, had led his country for some time. Technical developments had changed the conditions of everyday life almost beyond recognitions, but all these events had left as a matter of fact untouched the small religious community to which she had belonged. In 1949 Miss Baldwin published her impressions of those bewildering(令人困惑的)years of her return to a world in which the motorcar had replaced the horse and carriage and where respectable women showed their legs and painted their faces.

       Yet it was not only these odd sights that surprised her, for she was more puzzled by what she heard. During a railway journey the term “l(fā)uggage in advance” meant nothing to her, so in desperation she asked the porter to do as he thought best. Reading the newspapers made her feel very stupid, because the writers of reviews and leading articles used words and phrases such as Jazz, Hollywood, Cocktail and Isolationism. These and many others were quite incomprehensible to Miss Baldwin, who was really bewildered when friends said: “It’s your funeral or Believe it or not.” This is a rare and valuable reminder to the rest of us that the English language does not stand still. All language changes over a period of time for reasons which are imperfectly understood. Or rather since speech is really a form of human activity, it is more exact to say that each successive generation behaves linguistically in a slightly different manner from its predecessors(前輩,祖先). In his teens the young man likes to show how up-to-date he is by the use of the latest slang(俚語), but as the years go by some of his slang becomes standard usage and in any case he slowly grows less receptive(樂于接受的)to linguistic novelties(新穎,新奇),so that by the time he reaches his forties he will probably be unware that some of the expressions and pronunciations now being used were frowned upon by his own parents. In this respect language is a little like fashions in people’s dress. The informal clothes of one generation become the everyday wear of the next, and just as young doctors and bank clerks nowadays go about their business in sports jackets, they are allowed into their normal vocabulary expressions which were once limited to slang and familiar conversation.

試題詳情

71.Miss Baldwin found the world totally changed because          .

       A.she had worked for a religious community for a long time

       B.she had been cut off from the rest of the world for many years

       C.the community where she lived had been in war for many years

       D.there had been too many technical developments

試題詳情

73.Young people like to use the latest slang because          .

       A.they feel it is easier to use

       B.they believe it will soon become standard usage

       C.they want to show they have caught up with the time

       D.they find it more powerful in expressing feelings

       A.the English language has not changed much

       B.the English language has entirely changed

       C.language doesn’t change at all in the religious world

One possible version:

Building a Good Teacher-student Relationship

      A good teacher- student relationship is one of the guarantees for successful teaching and learning. A good relationship leads to fruitful cooperation, that is, the teacher can guide his/her students more effectively and the students can learn more efficiently.

      From my personal experience I conclude that an ideal teacher- student relationship depends on the common efforts. For example, we have developed a warm, friendly relationship with our English teacher. We admire her for the special efforts she poured into our class. Her lectures are always well prepared and delivered clearly. We also admire the fact that she spends time generously with us students after class. Inspired by her devotion, we study all the more diligently.

      Of course, misunderstanding may occur once in a while. In this case, I think, both sides should be kind, patient and frank. By sitting down and having a good talk we can work out any trouble.

M:Holly, is it possible to borrow your notes? I’ll return them tomorrow.

W:Sorry, but I usually review them. Say, how about copying them over in the library?

M:Okay. You’re a lifesaver, Holly!

W:No problem. But I don’t understand why you need my notes, Johnson; you haven’t missed any

       classes.

M:Weekday mornings, I’m a cashier at a coffee shop downtown. After work, I come directly to

       school!

W:Wow, you’re probably tired out!

M:That’s exactly why I want to borrow your notes. I’ve been sleeping during class, so my notes

       aren’t very good.

W:Well, here’s Professor Labelle. How are you feeling?

M:I’m usually awake at the beginning. But thirty minutes into class, I’m having trouble keeping

       my eyes open.

W:Sorry. I’m late, Tom.

M:That’s all right, Rita. Where have you been?

W:To the police station. I’ve lost my handbag. Or perhaps someone’s taken it. I don’t know.

M:Oh, no. What happened? Sit down. Is there anything important in it?

W:Very important! My check book, all the papers I need for work.

M:Oh, that’s terrible. But how did you lose it?

W:Well, as you know, I was with a friend all morning and we had lunch together. After I had

       lunch, I went shopping. And when I wanted to buy the shoes, I couldn’t find my check book.

       Then I remembered that it was in my handbag. And my handbag was in my car.

M:So you went back to your car?

W:But I didn’t find it there.

M:And you went to the police station?

W:Not immediately. Before I went to the police station, I called my friend’s office. No luck.

M:You should go to the restaurant where you had lunch and look for it.

W:Oh, I should have done that.

M:Now you’d better telephone the manager right away.

M:May I ask you some questions?

W:Yes, of course, Sir.

M:Where had you been earlier in the evening, madam?

W:I had been to a restaurant in Rolando with some friends.

M:What time did you leave the restaurant?

W:It was about 10:30, I suppose. My friends took the MTR and I began walking to the bus stop.

       I’d just reached the corner of Queen’s Road Central when someone tapped me on my right

       shoulder.

M:Someone tapped you on the shoulder?

試題詳情

W:Yes. A young girl. There were two of them. They were about 18. One of them asked me the way

       to the nearest MTR station. I pointed it out to her.

M:What did the other girl do?

W:The other girl moved quietly behind me. Then they both thanked me and started walking

       towards the MTR station. I carried on walking, but I suddenly realised that my bag was gone.

M:What did you do when you realised your bag was missing?

W:I turned round and saw the two girls running into the MTR station. One of them was carrying

       my bag.

W:Did you see the late night film on television yesterday?

M:The one on Channel 8?

試題詳情

W:No, on Channel 5. It was about a couple who hitchhiked across the Sahara Desert.

M:No, I didn’t. Was it any good?

W:Well, it was quite good, I suppose, but all those miles of sand did get a bit boring after a while. I

       think I prefer horror films to travel stories and love stories.

M:I went out for a meal with my friends. They took me to a Greek restaurant.

W:Sounds unusual! What was the food like?

M:Actually, I quite liked it.

W:I’m not keen on foreign food myself. I’d rather stick to roast beef or just fish and chips.

M:Yes, I notice you always eat chips! Don’t you ever get sick of chips?

W:No, never. In fact, I’d rather eat chips than bread.

M:Well, I prefer trying new food to eating the same old things day after day.
