Ⅱ 以安乐死为话题的英语作文
The fast advance of medicine and life–extending technologies enable life to be prolonged 。But it’s this leap of technologies to prolong life and control dying that raises the controversial topic—euthanasia( 安乐死)or mercy killing.
People supporting mercy killing argue that euthanasia is humane because it helps to hasten the death of hopelessly ill patients， them from the agonizing pain , which is good for both the doomed people and their families. For these people，staving off death is to compromise a fundamental value—the quality of human life. However，those who object to euthanasia think it is immoral to give up treatment or commit suicide with doctors’ assistance。In their opinions, that is nothing less than murdering.
Ⅲ 关于安乐死，希望英语达人能帮帮小弟翻译一小段话。
euthanasia is a very controversial topic. firstly,i don't agree the euthanasia,because no one can let others live or die,even the most close relative can't make decision for the patient.
thought there are many terminal illness who suffer huge pain and lose their awareness,
but what we can do is to encourage her ,praying for the wonder instead of ending her life.
let her leave us in a natural way.

Ⅳ 阅读理解：观点态度题解析
阅读理解：观点态度题解析
想要学好考研英语怎么能不知道观点态度阅读题的做题方法呢?下面就让我为大家详解一下吧。
考研英语阅读理解观点态度题主要考查的是考生对作者的意图、观点或态度的理解和把握。这种题型要求考生把握作者写作某篇文章的目的，明白作者对文章所论述的观点和中心所持的态度。考研英语试卷对这一部分的考查主要表现为情感态度题。该题型常问作者对某事是什么态度：主观(subjective)还是客观(objective);肯定(positive)还是否定(negative);赞成(approval)还是反对(opposition)等等。
这种题目对考生而言难度较大，迷惑性也较强，因为命题专家是针对整篇文章设问，考生很难找到具体对应的语言点，所以要把握整篇文章。例如作者在谈一件事时是 用反讽的口气，还是赞成的语气，此类题所给的答案选项一般是四个形容词，考生应在审题时就把握好这四个形容词所表达的意思，然后返回文章去寻找信息。特别 提醒考生要牢记所遇到的构成作者态度题选项的每一个形容词。做文章作者态度题时，千万不要把考生自己的态度揉进文章中，同时要注意区分作者本人的态度与作 者引用的观点态度。
理解作者的意图、观点和态度是近几年考试的热点题目，考生在做此类题时要把握这样的判断原则：既纵观全文，掌握主题思想有要注意文章的措辞，把握文章的基调或主旨(tenor)，又要分清文章的`话语范围(field)及话语方式(mode)。解题的关键是要看作者在文中用了什么样的口气。若用褒义词，显然是赞成。若用贬义词，显然是反对。若是客观陈述，则是中性的立场，不偏不倚。注意：作者态度常常在转折词后表明出来，因此but一词至关重要(还有类似的yet, however, although, nevertheless等)。
该题型常见的提问形式有：
(1)The tone of the passage can best be described as ____
(2)The tone of the passage would be _____
(3)Which of the following best describes the tone of the passage____
(4)What is the attitude of the author towards____
(5)How does the writer feel about______
(6) The writer is of the opinion that_____
(7)The author seems to be _____
情感和态度在考研中大致可分为三类：happy/ unhappy; security/insecurity; satisfaction
dissatisfaction, 它们作为标记语反映出作者对某个现象采取的姿态，并从情感的角度评价该现象。因此，考生既要依靠文章的中心思想作为前提，又要注意作者的措辞，尤其是作为修饰语的形容词。我们以2003年的阅读Text 4为例具体说明这一点：
Yet there are limits to what a society can spend in this pursuit. As a physician, I know the most costly and dramatic measures may be ineffective and painful. I also know that people inJapanandSweden, countries that spend far less on medical care, have achieved longer, healthier lives than we have. As a nation, we may be overfunding the quest for unlikely cures while underfunding research on humbler therapies that could improve people’s lives.
59. In contras to theU.S.,JapanandSwedenare funding their medical care .
[A] more flexibly
[B] more extravagantly
[C] more cautiously
[D] more reasonably
作者用limits, ineffective, painful这些消极的词语暗示了美国医疗卫生系统的缺憾，通过把握这些词语，我们就能得出D为正确选项。所以我们对语言的理解是有一定差异的，又如尼克松签订1972年公报时，对“一个中国”原则，他手下的修辞专家用了acknowledge 而不用recognize。因为后者是正式的，外交的，打心底里的承认，而前者是一种模糊，对某种既成事实的有限度接受，但在中文里出现的就是我们理解的“承认”。
可见考生在平时的单词理解中要结合不同的语境，不同的文章体裁，综合地认知寓意，才能透彻地理解作者的意图。
另外，判断作者情感态度除了关注作者的措辞，还要可以通过关注作者的举例角度和讲解角度，来判断文章作者的态度倾向：如果作者的一直论述某事物的积极地向上 的方面，其态度基本上是积极乐观的;如果作者举例论证某观点时，给的例子是正面的，那么我们同样可以判断作者的态度是积极乐观的;如果作者的论述有好有 坏，举例有正面有反面，我基本上可以判断作者的态度是客观的。同样，我们通过具体的真题案例进一步解释这一点。
再例1997年第54题:
It was 3:45 in the morning when the vote was finally taken. After six months of arguing and final 16 hours of hot parliamentary debates,Australia’s Northern Territory became the first legal authority in the world to allow doctors to take the lives of incurably ill patients who wish to die. The measure passed by the convincing vote of 15 to 10. Almost immediately word flashed on the Internet and was picked up, half a world away, by John Hofsess, executive director of the Right to Die Society of Canada. He sent it on via the group’s on-line service, Death NET. Says Hofsess: “We posted bulletins all day long, because of course this isn’t just something that happened inAustralia. It’s world history.”
The full import may take a while to sink in. The NT Rights of the Terminally III law has left physicians and citizens alike trying to deal with its moral and practical implications. Some have breathed sighs of relief, others, including churches, right to life groups and the Australian Medical Association, bitterly attacked the bill and the haste of its passage. But the tide is unlikely to turn back. InAustralia-- where an aging population, life extending technology and changing community attitudes have all played their part -- other states are going to consider making a similar law to deal with euthanasia. In theUSandCanada, where the right to die movement is gathering strength, observers are waiting for the dominoes to start falling.
Under the new Northern Territory law, an alt patient can request death -- probably by a deadly injection or pill -- to put an end to suffering. The patient must be diagnosed as terminally ill by two doctors. 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 met. For Lloyd Nickson, a 54 year old Darwin resident suffering from lung cancer, the NT Rights of Terminally III law means he can get on with living without the haunting fear of his suffering: a terrifying death from his breathing condition. “I’m not afraid of dying from a spiritual point of view, but what I was afraid of was how I’d go, because I’ve watched people die in the hospital fighting for oxygen and clawing at their masks,” he says.
54. The author’s attitude towards euthanasia seems to be that of ________.
[A] opposition
[B] suspicion
[C] approval
[D] indifference
我们通过阅读该文，不难发现文章首段记述了安乐死法案通过以及当时在全球引起的反响，首段作者使用“it is world history”， 来表达他对该事件的态度，认为它意义重大;紧接着在第二段，作者首先讨论世人对此态度不一，但是作者通过转折，指出这个潮流不太可能被逆转了。第三段，作 者用一个肺癌病人为例，该病人认为安乐死法案的通过意味着自己可以平静地度过最后的时光，不用担心临死前要遭受的折磨。很明显这个事例是认识安乐死法案的 通过是一件好事。那么文章就作者的态度命题，答案肯定是approval。

Ⅶ 支持安乐死的理由,要用英语回答,急
Mercy killing is one of the most controversial issues in the world of medicine. As the picture given above depicts, a late-stage cancer patient is terminally-ill, asking the doctors for mercy killing. But the doctors look deeply embarrassed, feeling helpless because they are at a loss what to do about it.
The picture really sets me thinking. It implies that people differ in their attitudes towards the mercy killing. Some people think that physician-assisted suicide can relieve dying patients of unbearable pain and suffering. They maintain that as long as a doctor prescribes a drug for a legitimate medical purpose, he has done nothing illegal even if the patient uses the drug to hasten death. Others are strongly opposed to physician-assisted suicide. They contend that a doctor has no right to give a patient sufficient medication to control his pain if that may hasten death. They conclude that it is illegal for doctors to help the dying end their lives.
As far as I’m concerned, doctors have a ty to help dying patients to alleviate their pain and suffering. I also agree that doctors deserve to be punished if they prolong the needless suffering of their terminally-ill patients. In short, I am in favor of mercy killing. (207 words)
译文：
安乐死是医学界最有争议的问题之一。正如上面所示的画所描绘的，一位晚期癌症病人病入膏肓，请求医生们实施安乐死。但医生们看上去十分尴尬，感到无能为力，因为他们不知道该怎么办。
这幅画确实发人深省。它暗示，人们在对待安乐死上看法不一致。有些人认为，医助自杀可以减轻垂死病人不堪忍受的痛苦。他们主张，只要医生开药是为了合法的医疗目的，那么即使病人使用这种药物加速了死亡，医生也没有做什么违法的事。其他人则强烈反对医助自杀。他们坚持认为，医生无权给病人开足以控制痛苦的药物，如果那样做会加速死亡的话。他们的结论是，医生帮助垂危病人结束生命是违法的。
依我看，医生有义务帮助垂死病人缓解病痛。我还认为，如果医生延长了垂死病人不必要的痛苦的话，那他们应该受到惩处。总之，我赞成安乐死。
