第三部分  閱讀理解（共20小題，；每小題2分，滿分40分）

     On Nov.18, 1995, Itzhak Perlman, the violinist, came on stage to give a concert in the Avery Fisher Hall at the Lincoln Center in New York City.

     If you have ever been to a Perlman concert, you know that getting on stage is no small achievement for him.  He was stricken with polio (小兒麻痹癥) as a child, and so he has braces (支架) on both legs and walks with the aid of a pair of crutches (拐杖).

     He walks painfully until he reaches his chair.  Then he sits down  slowly,  puts his crutches on the floor, undoes the clasps (扣壓環(huán)) on his legs, pushes one foot back and extends the other foot forward. Then he bends down and picks up the violin, puts it under his chin, nods to the conductor and begins his play.

     But this time,  something went wrong.  Just as he finished the first few notes,  one of the strings on his violin broke — it went off like gunfire across the room.      We figured that he would have to get up, put on the clasps again,  pick up the crutches and limp his way off stage — to either find another violin or else find another string for this one. But he didn't. Instead, he waited a moment, closed his eyes and then signaled the conductor to begin again.

     The orchestra began,  and he played from where he had left off. When he finished,  there was an extremely impressive silence in the room. And then people rose and cheered.  He smiled,  wiped the sweat from his brow, raised his bow to quiet us,  and then he said in a quiet tone, "You know, sometimes it is the artist's task to find out how much music you can still make with what you have left."

1. What does the author mean when he writes the underlined part in Paragraph 2?

    A. It's very difficult for Perlman to get to the stage. 

    B. It's' hard for Perlman to play a violin with three strings.

    C. It's not easy for Perlman to face such a large audience.

2. The third paragraph describes             .

    A. how Perlman deals with his disability

    B. Pefiman's attitude towards the concert

    C. the various stages of Perlman' s performance

    D. the difficulties Pefiman had before playing

3. What does the underlined word "one" in Paragraph 5 refer to?

    A. String.              B. Crutch.

    C. Violin.              D. Orchestra.

4. Itzhak Pefiman can be best described as a man who is         .

    A. intelligent            B. strong-willed

    C. humourous           D. highly skilled

 

THE WAY TO READ FAST

Perhaps you have been told about some habits（習(xí)慣） which stop a person reading fast、and have been strongly asked to break those habits which you might have.

Do you still have any of these bad habits7 Check yourself by answering "yes" or "no" to

these questions:

1. Do you move your lips(嘴唇) when reading silently？

2. Do you point to words with your finger as you read?

3. Do you move your head from side to side as you read?

4. Do you read one word at a time?

If you answer "yes" to any of these questions, start at once to break the habit.

If you move your lips, hold your fingers over them, or hold a piece of paper between your lips while you are reading. Then if your lips move, you will know it and can stop them.

If you point to words, hold the two sides of your book, one side with your left hand, the other side with your right hand. Then you will not have a free finger to use in pointing while reading.

If you move your head, place your chin（下巴）in one hand, and hold your head still(不動(dòng)地，靜止地).

If you read no more than one or two or three words at a time, you need to work very hard in learning to take in more words at each glance(看一眼) as your eyes travel across the lines of words.

I took my 9-year-old daughter，Suzan and 5-year-old son，Robbie to the shopping centre．As we got there，we saw a big sign that said，“Petting Zoo”．The kids jumped up and asked，“Daddy，can we go?”

Both my wife and I were out of work．However，I said，“Sure”，giving them a quarter each. They went away, leaving only fifty cents left in my pocket．

A petting zoo is made up of a hundred of little baby animals of all kinds．Kids pay their money and stay in the enclosure(圍場(chǎng))pleased with the little animals while their parents shop．

A few minutes later，I saw Suzan walking along behind me．I was surprised and asked what was wrong．

She said sadly，“Well，Daddy，a ticket for Petting Zoo costs fifty cents．So I gave Robbie my quarter．” Then she said the most beautiful thing I ever heard．She repeated the family motto(座右銘)，which is “Love is Action!”

She had watched both my wife and me do and say "Love is Action!” for years，and now she had put it into her lifestyle．It had become part of her，because she knew the whole family motto．It’s not only “Love is Action”；it’s “Love is SACRIFICAL(犧牲的)Action!" Love always pays a price．

I was moved．We went back to the Petting Zoo．Suzan stood with her hands and chin(下巴)resting on the fence and just watched Robbie go crazy petting and feeding the animals．I had fifty cents burning a hole in my pocket. I put my hand into my pocket and took out the money．Sure，I must do that !

 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.

1.The best title for the passage would be ________.

A. French Woman has First Partial Face Transplant

B. First Face Transplant Opens Debate

C. Risks and Ethical Problems of a Face Transplant

D. A Complete Face Transplant of a French Woman

2.Why did the woman need such an operation?

A. Her face had been bitten by a dog

B. Her face had been burnt in a fire.

C. She was born especially ugly

D. She wanted to test such an operation.

3.The underlined word "resemble"  means ________.

A. to remember forever

B. to recognize immediately

C. to set as an example

D. to present similarity or likeness to

4.What can we learn about the operation?

A. The woman had used the dead woman' s whole face.

B. There has arisen a debate about the operation.

C. The woman will suffer from psychological damage soon.

D. Such transplants have been performed by doctors.
