The Story of Lani
           Five—year-old Lani still takes seven medicines with her breakfast every morning.“She’s very good about it，”says her father David．Lani is alive today because of her father David，in more than one way；when she was one year old she received part of her father’s liver¹ in a liver—transplant² operation．Lani was born with a liver illness. (46)Doctors advised that a transplant was the only way in which she would live．
           The operation lasted 12 hours and needed two teams，one for the father and one for the daughter． (47)In these cases，the donor³’s liver grows to normal size in about eight weeks, and the child’s liver becomes smaller．
    Lani spent three weeks in hospital after the operation．Because the receiver’s body tries to reject the new organ，the patient has to be given special drugs．    (48)
  Although David left hospital after 10 days，he didn’t return to work until after three months． In order to reach the liver, the doctors have to cut through the stomach wall，which is strong and full of muscle⁴．It therefore takes a long time to recover after this operation．
 So far，only 16 of these liver—transplant operations have been carried out in Britain． (50)Doctors say,“If possible，we prefer to take a liver from a dead donor, usually a parent．” 
    Lani still has to look after her health，and she gets more tired than other children of the same age，but doctors hope that she will continue to get stronger and stronger．
 
A  She had one operation when she was six weeks old，which was not successful．
B  While these drugs are given，it is important that the patient does not catch any illness，not even a cold．
C  In this operation a piece of liver, weighing about 250--300 grams，was removed from the  father and transplanted⁵ into the daughter．
D David quickly recovered from the operation．
E However, they are more common in North America and Japan．
F David was finally able to ride his bike again after about a year．
 
答案及解析：
1．文章标题分析： The Story of Lani
        Five—year-old Lani still takes seven medicines with her breakfast every morning.“She’s very good about it，”says her father David．Lani is alive today because of her father David，in more than one way；when she was one year old she received part of her father’s liver in a liver—transplant operation
 
2． 被选项分析：
思路：
表意简单的可能是干扰项；表意复杂的往往是答案；
有关系的被选项通常出答案；
代词，定冠词结构是解题线索；
逻辑连词，副词是解题线索；
与文章主题一致可能是答案；
特殊句子：转折句，事实举例句，总结句，观点句等特殊句可能是答案。
 
A  She had one operation when she was six weeks old，which was not successful．（细节句。）
B  While these drugs are given，it is important that the patient does not catch any illness，not even a cold．（these drugs的出现暗示前句中应该有具体的药品与these drugs呼应）
C  In this operation a piece of liver, weighing about 250--300 grams，was removed from the  father and transplanted into the daughter．（细节句。this operation的出现暗示前句中应该具体说明是什么样的手术）
D David quickly recovered from the operation．（细节句(结果句)。 ）
E However, they are more common in North America and Japan．（they的出现暗示前句中应该有复数名词或their/they/them与they相呼应。）
F David was finally able to ride his bike again after about a year．(结果句)

3．直接解题：
思路首先处理段落中位置比较特殊的空格：
A  She had one operation when she was six weeks old，which was not successful．（细节句。）
B  While these drugs are given，it is important that the patient does not catch any illness，not even a cold．（these drugs的出现暗示前句中应该有具体的药品与these drugs呼应）
C  In this operation a piece of liver, weighing about 250--300 grams，was removed from the  father and transplanted into the daughter．（细节句。this operation的出现暗示前句中应该具体说明是什么样的手术）
D David quickly recovered from the operation．（细节句(结果句)。 ）
E However, they are more common in North America and Japan．（they的出现暗示前句中应该有复数名词或their/they/them与they相呼应。）
F David was finally able to ride his bike again after about a year．(结果句)
 
    Lani spent three weeks in hospital after the operation．Because the receiver’s body tries to reject the new organ，the patient has to be given special drugs．    (48)
B． 分析：空格前出现了special drugs正好与B中的these drugs呼应。
 
A  She had one operation when she was six weeks old，which was not successful．（细节句。）
C  In this operation a piece of liver, weighing about 250--300 grams，was removed from the  father and transplanted into the daughter．（细节句。this operation的出现暗示前句中应该具体说明是什么样的手术）
D David quickly recovered from the operation．（细节句(结果句)。 ）
E However, they are more common in North America and Japan．（they的出现暗示前句中应该有复数名词或their/they/them与they相呼应。）
F David was finally able to ride his bike again after about a year．(结果句)
 
  Although David left hospital after 10 days，he didn’t return to work until after three months． In order to reach the liver, the doctors have to cut through the stomach wall，which is strong and full of muscle．It therefore takes a long time to recover after this operation．(49)
F．分析：首先在被选项中排除D（与原文语意矛盾），由于是位于段落的最后一句，所以在这个位置上出现结果句，观点句，总结句的可能性最大。这样因此判断F合适（F是结果句。）
 
A  She had one operation when she was six weeks old，which was not successful．（细节句。）
C  In this operation a piece of liver, weighing about 250--300 grams，was removed from the  father and transplanted into the daughter．（细节句。this operation的出现暗示前句中应该具体说明是什么样的手术）
D David quickly recovered from the operation．（细节句(结果句)。 ）
E However, they are more common in North America and Japan．（they的出现暗示前句中应该有复数名词或their/they/them与they相呼应。）
 
Five—year-old Lani still takes seven medicines with her breakfast every morning.“She’s very good about it，”says her father David．Lani is alive today because of her father David，in more than one way；when she was one year old she received part of her father’s liver in a liver—transplant operation．Lani was born with a liver illness. (46)Doctors advised that a transplant was the only way in which she would live．
A．    分析： A合适：A（六个月大的时候做手术但没有成功）是因，空格后句的内容是果（医生建议只有移植肝脏才能救Lani）。
 
C  In this operation a piece of liver, weighing about 250--300 grams，was removed from the  father and transplanted into the daughter．（细节句。this operation的出现暗示前句中应该具体说明是什么样的手术）
D David quickly recovered from the operation．（细节句(结果句)。 ）
E However, they are more common in North America and Japan．（they的出现暗示前句中应该有复数名词或their/they/them与they相呼应。）
 
           The operation lasted 12 hours and needed two teams，one for the father and one for the daughter． (47)In these cases，the donor’s liver grows to normal size in about eight weeks, and the child’s liver becomes smaller．
C．分析：空格后句中提到“在这些病理中，捐赠者的肝脏..”，空格前句提到“这场手术持续了..”,由此可见空格前后句的内容都涉及到一次具体的手术，因此判断C正确。
 
D David quickly recovered from the operation．（细节句(结果句)。 ）
E However, they are more common in North America and Japan．（they的出现暗示前句中应该有复数名词或their/they/them与they相呼应。）
 
So far，only 16 of these liver—transplant operations have been carried out in Britain． (50)Doctors say,“If possible，we prefer to take a liver from a dead donor, usually a parent．” 
E． 分析： 空格前句是客观事实陈述句，有关在英国肝脏移植的情况讲述，而E中对应的提到了北美和日本的情况，而且在语意上形成对比：一个不多，而一个普遍，很符合逻辑的发展，因此判断E正确
