阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在表格中的空格处填入恰当的单词。注意：每个空格只填一个单词。“HEARTLESS”— a word you wouldn’t want to u to describe a person. But having his heart removed was what saved Craig Lewis’ life—and what made him the first living “heartless” man.The 55-year-old，dying of heart dia，was told he only had 12 hours to live， when Billy Cohn and Bud Frazier, doctors from the Texas Heart Institute, decided to try something new. They removed Lewis heart and replaced it with an artificial (人造的) one. Less than a week after the operation, Lewis was able to sit and speak.Lewis kept on living like a normal person, with only one difference—he didn’t have a heartbeat. The human heart usually pumps blood through our bodies by beating regularly. By contrast, this artificial heart pushes the blood forward with two moving blades(桨叶). If you were to touch Lewis or listen to his chest, you would not feel a heartbeat. If you hooked him up to an EKG(心电图) machine, the line would be flat.Scientists have been trying to create a working artificial heart for years. Until now, all artificial hearts either broke down or caud blocks and infections.But after five years of hard work, Dr Cohn and Dr Frazier developed this artificial heart. It is smaller and quieter than other artificial hearts and can last much longer. They tested it on 38 calves (牛犊) and all of them turned out energetic and healthy. Lewis is the first human proof that the machine is a success.The doctors will have to work more on the device and decide on a final design before it can be widely ud. The US Food and Drug Administration will also need to say that the machine is safe. But this artificial heart looks likely to bring a ray of hope to thousands of patients.Passage outlineSupporting detailsA 小题1: in the history of medicine ◆ 55-year-old Lewis was on the 小题2:  of death.

解析

55岁的Craig Lewis因为心脏病而被医生宣告生命仅剩下12小时，但是得克萨斯心脏研究所的人员通过移除他的心脏，用人造的心脏取而代之，结果他竟然奇迹般的幸存了下来。在本文中作者介绍了人造心脏这一科学研究成果。小题1:wonder/ miracle 信息归纳题。文章讲述了在死亡线上的Craig Lewis通过移植了人造心脏而幸存下来的故事，这是人类医学史上的一个奇迹，所以答案填wonder/ miracle。小题2:edge信息转换题。根据文章第二段 The 55-year-old，dying of heart dia，was told he only had 12 hours to live可知Craig Lewis处于死亡的边缘，填edge.小题3:removed 细节查找题。根据第二段They removed Lewis heart and replaced it with an artificial (人造的) one可知答案填removed.小题4:zero 细节转换题。根据第三段you would not feel a heartbeat，可知他是没有心跳的，所以心跳是零，填zero。小题5:flat细节转换题。从文章第三段 If you hooked him up to an EKG(心电图) machine, the line would be flat.可知他的心电图是平的，填flat。小题6:Characteristics/Features /Strengths/Advantages/Benefits细节归纳题。根据右栏的信息可知此处是介绍人工心脏的特点，性能等，所以答案是Characteristics/Features /Strengths/Advantages/Benefits。小题7:blocked细节转换题。根据文章第四段 Until now, all artificial hearts either broke down or caud blocks and infections.可知人工心脏没有堵塞过，所以填blocked。小题8:hopeful/optimistic/positive。信息归纳题。根据右栏信息可知人造心脏会给心脏病患者带来希望，所以人们有理由乐观，答案填hopeful/optimistic/positive。小题9:improve细节转换题。根据文章末段he doctors will have to work more on the device and decide on a final design before it can be widely ud可知医生要努力去研究提高改善人造心脏的功能等，所以填improve。小题10:recovery /life。细节转换题。根据文章末段this artificial heart looks likely to bring a ray of hope to thousands of patients.可知人造心脏会给很多病人带来康复的机会，重新获得健康，所以答案填recovery /life。

考点

据考高分专家说，试题“阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在表格中的空.....”主要考查你对 [序数词 ]考点的理解。 序数词

序数词的概念：

表示顺序的数称为序数词。如：first, cond, third, fourth。

序数词的构成与用法：

1、序数词的构成：①一般来说，是由相应的基数词加词尾th构成。   例：four＋th→fourth   six＋th→sixth    ven＋th→venth   ten＋th→tenth②下面这些基数词在变为序数词时，有特殊的变化。例：one→first    two→cond    three→third    five→fifth    eight→eighth    nine→ninth    twelve→twelfth③十位整数序数词的构成方法是将基数词的词y变成i，然后再加eth。例：twenty→twentieth    thirty→thirtieth    forty→fortieth    ninety→ninetieth④两位或两位以上的基数词变成序数词时，仅将个位数变成序数词。例：twenty－one→twenty－first    thirty－five→thirty－fifth    a hundred and fifty－three→a hundred and fifty－third2、序数词的用法：①序数词在使用时，一般加上定冠词。例：the first book    the cond floor    the third day    the fourth week．②序数词在多数情况下都用作定语，有的也可以作表语、主语和宾语。例：The may1st is Labour Day. 五月一日是劳动节。    My room is on the cond floor. 我的房间在二楼。    The first is larger than the con.（主语）第一个比第二个大。    Read the book from the first.（宾语）从开头读这本书。    You'll be the sixth to write.（表语）你将是第六个写的。③序数词的前面可以加上不定冠词，用来表示“再一”，“又一”的意思。例：You may have a third try. 你可以第三次尝试。

序数词知识体系：

 

约数的表达方法：

用tens/dozens/scores/hundreds/thousands/millions of 表示“几十、几百、上千、成千上万”等。 如：The boy bought dozens of pencils.       Thousands of people died in the earthquake. 注意： (A)：dozen, score, hundred, thousand, million等表示确切数量时，不用复数。 如：five dozen (of) eggs   五打鸡蛋    hree hundred people  三百个人

分数词的构成和用法：

1）分数词构成法：分数词（FractionalNumerals）由基数词和序数词构成，基数词代表分子，序数词代表分母。除了分子为1的情况下，序数词都要用复数形式：如：1/4：one-fourth    5/9：five-ninths    2/3：two-thirds   17/5：three and two-fifths   7/12：ven-twelfths   379/8：forty-ven and three-eighths此外还有下面表示法：如：1/2：a(one) half    1/4：a(one) quarter    3/4：three-quarters    9/4：two and a quarter    3/2：one and half     31/4：ven and three quarters
