試題分析: 本文介紹了Matthew Ames， 他在患病后生命垂危，活下來的可能性只有百分之一，為了保住他的生命，他的妻子毅然 作出為他截肢的決定，就這樣他成了澳大利亞第一個bionic man，他的病情受到了人們的廣泛關(guān)注。

1.C細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)Matthew Ames was at home on Monday morning，adjustingto national media attention可以判斷Matthew Ames受到了大眾和媒體的關(guān)注，其余選項內(nèi)容錯誤，故答案選C。

2.A推理判斷題。根據(jù)Matthew Ames 的兒子Luke說的話，“lle had a. 99％chance of dying，”“And only 1％of living.” “And the 1％ won against the 99．”可以判斷Matthew Ames生命垂危，能夠活下來是一個奇跡，所以A選項正確。

3.B細節(jié)理解題。A懷疑的；B支持的；C小心的；D隨意的。根據(jù)文章倒數(shù)第二段For Diane，the choice was easy．She could not allow their children to grow up without afather．Eventually，Matthew came to，only to find he had no arms and legs．可以判斷為了讓Matthew能夠活下來，他的妻子贊同醫(yī)生給他截肢，答案選B。

4.B主旨大意題。文章采用倒序的寫作手法介紹了截肢后受人們關(guān)注的第一個bionic man，即Matthew Ames，然后在下文中對整個事情進行講述，由此判斷B選項更能體現(xiàn)文章中心，答案選B。
