Question

Full face transplants are no longer science fiction fantasy(幻想)，a leading surgeon has said, adding that they are technically feasible(可行的)but ethically(道德的)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 system(免疫系统)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(整形外科医生)will discuss the microsurgical procedure(微型外科技术)，which could give new skin, bone, nose, chin, lips and ears from deceased donors(捐赠人)to patients disfigured损伤外貌by accidents, burns or cancer．But surgeons could have trouble finding enough willing donors．Butlers 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．” (1) The underlined word “deceased” in the third paragraph probably means ________． [　　] A． willing B． dead C． diseased D． dying (2) When Christine Piff says “There are so many people without faces…”, she refers to the people ________． [　　] A． who are dishonorable and shameless B． who have got their faces transplanted C． who are seriously injured by accident D． who are disfigured by accidents, burns and cancer (3) According to the passage, what makes it likely to carry out a facial transplantation?
