12、pposition（ B） suspicion（C）approval（D）indiffer ence答案及试题解析可编辑资料 - - - 欢迎下载精品名师归纳总结51. （D）意为：懂得该法获批准的意义尚需要时间。其次段第一句是该段的主题句， 该句意为： 其（即这一立法的） 整体含义（i mport ）可能需要一段时间才为人完全懂得（ sink in）。其实，该段的其次句是对第一句更详细的阐释，该句可译为：北部的方州（此处NT是 Northern Terri tory的缩略形式，指澳大利亚中北部的区）晚期病人权益法的批准使医生和普通人都在思索其道义与实践方面的含义。 本段下文提到了支持和反对该

13、法的两种观点。A意为：在（除澳大利亚以外的） 其他国家， 对安乐死的反对看法缓慢而至。这一点该段没有提到。 实际上， 听到该法批准后， 远在美国和加拿大的人也很快作出了反应。B意为：在安乐死这一问题上，医生和一般人观点相同。正像该段第三句所 指出的，对于该法的批准，看法分歧很大。有些人松了口气，而有些人- 包括教堂、保卫生命权益组织与澳大利亚医学会- 对该法进行猛烈的抨击，认为它的批准过于仓促。C意为：技术（条件）的变化应对该法的仓促批准负主要责任。该段第五句 意为：在澳大利亚，其他州也将考虑通过制定同样的一项法律来解决安乐死问题， 而促成这一形势的是澳大利亚老化的人口、 生命连续技术、 正在

14、变化的社会态度等因素。可见，这与 C所表达的内容不一样。52. （B）意为：美国、加拿大及其他国家也可能批准类似法律。其次段最终一句指出， 在美国和加拿大死之权益运动正在集结力气， 观望者正在等待多米诺骨牌开头倾倒。 多米诺骨牌是一种西洋骨牌嬉戏。 嬉戏中将很多长方形的骨牌直立排列成行， 碰倒第一张时， 其余骨牌将依次纷纷倒下。 用于比如时，这种嬉戏指一系列的连锁反应，即：牵一发而动全身。这里喻指：澳大利 亚的形势会波及北美等国家，引起类似的做法。A意为：观看者对安乐死的将来持观望态度。依据对B的分析，观看者等待的是是否美、 加等国会在对安乐死的态度方面步澳之后尘，通过类似立法， 而并非是指他

15、们对安乐死态度暖昧、莫衷一是。C意为：观看者正等待看多米诺嬉戏的结果。这种说明未免太拘泥于字面的意思。D意为：所批准的法案的影响或许会最终停止。与原文不符。53. （A）意为：死时表现出安乐死的安静特点。这实际上是说他将采纳安乐死的方式离开人世。第三段提到， 住在达尔文市（位于北部的方州） 的尼克森患肺癌， 对他来说， 答应安乐死的法案的批准意味可编辑资料 - - - 欢迎下载精品名师归纳总结着他可以心情安静的生活， 而无需惧怕将要遭受的死亡的磨练： 由死时所产生的呼吸困难所带来的痛楚磨练。他说：从思想熟悉上讲，我并不怕死，但是，我怕 的是如何死去， 由于我曾亲眼目睹过医院的病人死时由缺氧而挣

16、扎并抓挠氧气罩的情形。从以上的分析可以看出， 尼克森先生知道自己已患绝症并依法为自己挑选安乐死的方式辞别人世。B意为：经受肺癌病人所要遭受的痛楚。 不对，相反， 尼克森将会安静死去。C意为：对痛楚的磨练极度惧怕。D意为：将经受 7 天的安静阶段。 第三段指出， 依据北部的区新通过的法律， 要求安乐死的病人必需具备以下条件：1）该病人必需由两名医生诊断为晚期病人。 2）安静考虑 7 天后，病人签署一个申请证书。 3） 48 小时后再给病人实行安乐死。可见，这里所说的安静 7 天是让病人（及其家庭）安静、仔细的考虑一下是否挑选采纳安乐死这一形式。54. （C）意为。赞同。这是一篇新闻体文章， 在新

17、闻体文章中， 写作者往往通过引用相关者的观点来终止争论， 并将自己的态度通过引用间接的表述出来。 本文以尼克森的话终止了对安乐死的争论， 而尼克森是安乐死的支持者。 另外， 文章的大部分文字陈述了对安乐死法案的褒扬态度， 而反对态度却一带而过。 从这两方面来看， 作者对安乐死持赞同态度。A意为：反对。 B意为：怀疑。 D意为：不关怀。翻译句子1、Some have breathed sighs of relief, others, including churches, right-to-life groups and the Australian Medical Association, b

18、itterly attacked the bill land the haste of its passage. But the tide is un likely to turn back. 参考译文 一些机构最终松了一口气，但是其他一些机构，包括教堂，倡 导生命之权的团体和澳大利亚医学协会， 尖锐的抨击这个法案， 指责法案的通过过于匆忙。但是大势已定，不行逆转。 结构剖析 第一句话中， 有用逗号松散连接的两个表示对比的句子： Some have breathed others bitterly attacked，其中 others之后是介词词组： including churches, r

19、ight-to-life groups and the Australian Medic可编辑资料 - - - 欢迎下载精品名师归纳总结al Association对 others进行进一步的说明。 its passage中的 its指代前面提到的 the bill。其次句使用了被动语态，与第一句是转折关系。 阅读重点 tide本意是潮水、潮汐的意思， 这里的引申含义是趋势、 趋向。 turn the tide使形式转变、 转变局面。 bill这里是法案的意思。 另外要懂得some 和 others的对比关系。2、In Australia-where an aging population,

20、life-extending technol ogy and changing community attitudes have all played their part-other states are going to consider making a similar law to deal with eutha nasia. 参考译文 在澳大利亚 - 人口老龄化，延长寿命的技术和变化着的社会态度，这些因素都在发挥作用 - 其他的州也会考虑制定相像的关于安乐死的法律。 结构剖析 这个句子的主体结构是 other states are going to consider 。句首的 In

21、Australia是介词词组表示的点状语， 后面 where引导定语从句 where an aging population, life-extending technology and changing community attitudes have all played their part，进一步说明 Australi a 的详细情形。 阅读重点 留意破折号中说各种因素都发挥了作用，是指对其它州考虑制 定关于安乐死的法律这件事而言的。另外留意consider的用法， consider后面一般接 V-ing的形式或 that引导的宾语从句。补充难句翻译1、After six months

22、 of arguing and final 16hours of hot parliamen tary debates, Australias Northern Territory became the first legal a uthority in the world to allow doctors to take the lives of incurablyill patients who wish to die. 参考译文 经过了六个月的争辩以及最终 16 个小时猛烈的议会辩论， 澳大利亚北部的区成了世界上第一个答应医生终止期望死去的绝症病人生命的立法当局。 结构剖析 句子的主体结

23、构是 Australias Northern Territory becamethe first legal authority。句首是表示时间的介词词组作状语：after six months of arguing and final 16 hours of hot parliamentary debates。 后面的动词不定式 to allow doctors to take the lives of incurably illpatients who wish to die相当于定语从句 which allows doctors to，修饰 legal authority。who 引导定

24、语从句 who wish to die修饰前面的 patie nts 。可编辑资料 - - - 欢迎下载精品名师归纳总结 阅读重点 懂得句子的关键在于剔除庞杂的修饰成分，抓住句子的主干。2、After a cooling off period of seven days, the patient can sign a certificate of request. After 48 hours the wish for death can be me t. 参考译文 在七天的冷静期之后，病人可以签署一张申请证书。再等48小时之后，他要求死去的愿望就可以实现了。 结构剖析 两个句子都是简洁句。

25、第一句中前面是介词词组作时间状语：A fter a cooling off period of seven days。其次句使用了被动语态。 阅读重点 cooling off这里是指给病人充分的考虑时间以做出冷静的打算。meet 这里是满意的意思，可以和 demand、need、requirement等和 wish 类似的词连用。语言点详解1. take vote表决 大纲词汇 vote n.投票，表。选票，选票数。 v. 投票，表决 经典例句 They finally took a vote on the mater.2. legal authority合法当局 大纲词汇 legal a.法

38、命技术和公众态度的变化都发挥着各自的作用。其他州也将考虑制定类似的法律来处理安乐死问题。 在美国和加拿大， 死亡权益运动正在积蓄力气。观看家们正在等待多米诺骨牌产生的效应。依据澳北州所通过的这项新法案，成年病人可以要求安乐死- 可能是通过注射致死药剂或服用致死药片 - 来终止痛楚。但此前病人必需由两名医生诊断其的确已病入膏肓，然后再经过 7 天的冷静摸索期，方可签署一份申请证明。48 小时后，才可以满意其安乐死的愿望。对于居住于达尔文现年54 岁的肺癌患者利奥德？尼克森来说， 这个法律意味着他可以安静的生活下去而无须成天惧怕即将来临的苦难：因呼吸困难而在煎熬中痛楚的死去。从思想上说，我并不行怕

To be fair,this observation is also frequently made of Canada and Canadians, and should best be considered North American.

The casual friendliness of many Americans should be interpreted neith er as superficial nor as artificial, but as the result of a historically developed cultural tradition.As is true of any developed society, in America a complex set of cultural signals, assumptions, and conventions underlies all social i nterrelationships. And, of course, speaking a language does not neces sarily mean that someone understands social and cultural patterns. Vi sitors who fail to t
