　　A

　　Can you imagine being savagely attacked by a dog? What if the attack was so severe that your nose, lips and chin were completely destroyed? How would you feel about yourself? Would you be able to look at yourself in the mirror? And how do you think other people would treat you?

　　Isabelle Dinoire is someone who can answer all of these questions honestly and openly.

　　Last November Isabelle was attacked and mauled by her own dog. The attack was so severe that her lower face was damaged; it seemed, almost beyond repair. She was rushed to hospital and became the first person ever to have a face transplant.

　　With such severe injuries doctors offered Isabelle little hope that they would be able to repair the damage to her face using conventional surgery.

　　Shortly after being admitted, she came to the attention of Dr Bernard Devauchelle who, unlike other surgeons, believed there was an alternative: "We found ourselves saying, yes, it's clear this woman needs a transplant," he said.

　　Two days after the operation she saw her face in the mirror for the first time．She said, "I was scared to look at myself, but when I did it was already marvelous and I couldn't believe it．I thought it would be blue and swollen but it was already beautiful．"

　　Now, less than a year after her 15-hour operation, she' s trying to rebuild her life and there is no doubt how she feels about her new face: "I have been saved．Lots of people write saying that I need to go on, that it' s wonderful．It' s a miracle somehow．"

　　Although there were ethical questions raised about their decision to carry out the procedure, the doctors who operated on Isabelle are quick to defend their decision．

　　One of them said, "Was it possible for her to live without a face? It's easy to say we shouldn’t have done the operation, but her life has changed, she goes shopping, goes on holiday, she lives again．

　　1．What would be the best title of the passage?

　　A．A Face Operation B．The First Face Transplant

　　C．The Most Severe Damaged Face D．The Breakthrough of Surgery

　　2．The writer uses the five questions at the beginning of the passage to ______．

　　A．tell the story about Isabelle Dinoire B．show a severe face damage event

　　C．invite the readers to answer them D．draw the readers attention to the topic

　　3．It can be concluded from Isabelle Dinoire' s remarks that

　　A．she was satisfied with the result of the operation

　　B．she was too shocked to see herself in the mirror

　　C．she thought her damaged face couldn’t be repaired

　　D．she looked more beautiful than before

　　Near the village, there is an old famous temple. Some people want to build new houses where the temple now stands, because they can find no other area to build them, while others disagree with them. They meet to decide how to solve the problem. Here are their opinions about it.

　　The expert wants to protect the temple and believes that there are some interesting things buried in the ground. If it is destroyed or moved, people may never learn about how people lived in the past.

　　The businessman thinks that the houses should be built. History is important, but we must think about the future. The village needs development and building new houses will offer jobs to hundreds of people.

　　Villager A says, “We should build the new houses because we need houses to live in.”

　　Villager B says, “We should protect the temple because it can attract many tourists to come for a visit. If the temple is destroyed or moved, we will lose a lot of business.”

　　The village leader thinks that he has a duty to make life better for the villagers. They need jobs and new houses. He also thinks the cultural site (遺跡) is important and they should be careful with it as well.
