SANTO DOMINGO, Domincan Republic ---An infant girl born with a second head bled to death Saturday after complex surgery (外科手术) to remove her partially formed twin , her parents and doctors said.
A medical team completed the 11- hour operation Friday night and said 8-week-old Rebecca Martinez died seven hours later. Doctors had warned after the surgery that the girl would be at great risk of death.
“ We knew this was a very risky surgery , and now we accept what God has decided , “ Rebecca’s father , 29-year-old Frankin Martinez, said at a news conference with his wife. “ Rebecca is no longer with us physically , but no one will forget her.”
Martinez said the family would bury Rebecca in a private funeral later in the day.
The girl lost a lot of blood in the operation, which apparently ( 明显地) caused her to suffer a heart attack , said Dr. Jorge Lazareff , the lead surgeon . Friends and family donated (捐赠) almost 4 gallons of blood for surgeons to use Rebeca’s operation
“This was not a failure or an error ,” Lazareff said . “ When we left here last night the girl was in stable condition. At some point in the middle of the night , she started to bleed.”
Rebecca was born Dec. 10 with the undeveloped head of her twin, an exteremely rare condition known as craniopagus parasticus . Rebecca was the eighth documented case in the world of craniopagus parasiticus, doctors said.
All the other infants documented to have had the condition died before birth , making Rebecca\s surgery the first known operation of its kind.
Without an operation , Rebecca would have barely been able to lift her head at 3 months old. Her doctors said the pressure from the second head would have prevented her brain from developing.
“ We always saw Rebecca without the extra part of her body, ”er father said after her death.
Rebecca was their third child-----along with a 4-year-old boy and a 1-year-old girl.

小题1:D
小题2:D
小题3:A
小题4:A
小题1:词义理解题。四个选项似乎都正确,但是根据下文“with a second head ”可以排除C 项。 11个月大的幼儿不应该算newly-born child,所以排除B项。 A项“残疾”和D 项“幼儿”比较之后,可以发现A项其实仍旧属于对Rebecca 的重复形容,所以最后选择D项。infant意为“婴儿,幼儿”。
小题2: 计算推理题。根据第二段,既然手术持续11个小时,那么“died seven hours later”就是在这11 小时之后,所以选择D项。
小题3:辨别是非题。根据第六段可知A项错误。其它各项文中都有相关的表述。
小题4:概括归纳题。这篇新闻报道的主题词应该是:手头女婴手术后死亡。
