1、Text 2 Death comes to all,but some are more sure of its timing,and can make plans.Kate Granger,a 32-year-old doctor suffering from an incurable form ofsarcoma,has"very strong ambitions"for her last hours.She plans to avoid hospital emergency departments and die at her parents'house-music playing,candles glowing,family by her side.Surveys show that over two-thirds of Britons would like to die at home.Like Dr Granger,they want to be with family and free of pain.Yet hospital remains the most common place of death.For some this is unavoidable-not every disease has as clear a tuming point as cancer-but for others a lack of planning is to blame.The government,motivated by both compassion and thrift,wants to help.In death,at least,public wishes align neatly with the state's desire to save money.The NHS has calculated that if roughly one more patient per general practitioner died outside hospital each year,it would save 180m($295m).In 2008 it introduced a broad end-of-life care strategy,which sought to increase awareness of how people die while improving care.Since then the proportion of people dying at home or in care homes(the split is about half-and-halfbetween them)has increased,from 38%t0 44%.To steer patients away from hospitals,general practitioners have been encouraged to find their l%-those patients likely to die in the next year-and start talking about end-of-life care.This can be difficult for doctors."As a profession we view death as failure,"says Dr Granger.Yet when there is no cure to be had,planning for death can be therapeutic for patients.Those who do plan ahead are much more likely to have their wishes met.A growing number of patients have electronic"palliative-care co-ordination systems",which allow doctors to register personal preferences so that other care providers can follow them.A paramedic called to a patient's home would know of a do-not-resuscitate order,for example.One study showed that such systems increase the number of people dying in their homes.But savings for the govemment may mean costs for charities and ordinary folk.At the end of life it is not always clear who should pay for what.Although Britons can get ordinary health care without paying out of pocket,social care is means-tested.People must ofien shell out for carers or care homes-or look after the terminally ill themselves.Disputes crop up over trivial things,like responsibility for the cost of a patient's bath.A bill now trundling through Parliament would cap the cost of an individual's social care.Still,some want it to be free for those on end-of-life registries.That would cut into the government's savings-but allow more people to die as they want. The best title of this text may be——

　　A Dying at Home

　　B Home Helpless

　　C Hospital Best

　　D End of Life Care

　　答案：A  

　　答案解析：主旨大意題。解決題目的關(guān)鍵是做完前四道題，大致猜出文章的中心，再通讀各段首句，驗(yàn)證中心，全文通過(guò)比較英國(guó)人選擇在哪里死亡的不同可以得出，文章體現(xiàn)的是更多英國(guó)人希望在家結(jié)束自己的生命，A項(xiàng)Dying at Home“家中安息”與此信息相匹配，故A項(xiàng)為正確選項(xiàng)。【干擾排除】B、C、D項(xiàng)雖然在文章中都有提及，但是不能概括文章所有的內(nèi)容，因此應(yīng)當(dāng)排除。

It is stated from the passage that who will meet their wishes to die?

　　A People who accept palliative-care co-ordination system.

　　B People who prefer getting care from hospital,

　　C People who accept the end oflife care.

　　D People who make plans ahead of time.

　　答案：D  

　　答案解析：事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)定位詞定位到文章的第四段，結(jié)尾處體現(xiàn)了題目的內(nèi)容，即Yet when there is no cure to be had，planning for death can be therapeutic for patients.(然而，如果沒(méi)有可以治愈的方法，為死亡做好計(jì)劃也是對(duì)病人的一種治療。)D項(xiàng)People who make plans ahead of time“提前做出計(jì)劃的人”與此信息相匹配，故D項(xiàng)為正確選項(xiàng)�！靖蓴_排除】A項(xiàng)在第五段的開(kāi)頭有體現(xiàn)，同時(shí)B項(xiàng)和C項(xiàng)也有體現(xiàn)，但是相對(duì)于正確選項(xiàng)D項(xiàng)來(lái)說(shuō)，都不能體現(xiàn)題目中所說(shuō)meet their wishes to die.故均排除。

　　A get more welfare than other choices

　　B be aware ofthe importance ofend ofcare approach

　　C cost more than die at home

　　D get an end of care life from the state

　　答案：C  

　　答案解析：事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)胚。根據(jù)定位詞定位到文章的第三段，第二句中體現(xiàn)了人們選擇在醫(yī)院離世的結(jié)論，即：The NHS has calculated that ifroughly one more patient per general practitioner died outside hospital each year,it would save 180m(S295m).[英國(guó)國(guó)民醫(yī)療服務(wù)體系(NHS)已經(jīng)大致計(jì)算出，如果每年每個(gè)全科醫(yī)師醫(yī)治的病人在原來(lái)的基礎(chǔ)上增加一名患者選擇在醫(yī)院外面離世，就會(huì)節(jié)省1.8億英鎊(約合2.95億美元)。]故C項(xiàng)為正確選項(xiàng)�！靖蓴_排除】A項(xiàng)中的福利概念在文章中沒(méi)有體現(xiàn);B項(xiàng)中的臨終關(guān)懷在段落中有體現(xiàn)，但是選項(xiàng)中所說(shuō)的aware of(意識(shí)到).這個(gè)概念在文章中沒(méi)有指明;D項(xiàng)在段落的結(jié)尾處有體現(xiàn)，說(shuō)法也一致，但是與在醫(yī)院死亡的聯(lián)系不大，屬于拼湊的概念。

It is suggested in Paragraph 2 that most Britons want to die_____

　　A in the hospital

　　B free ofpain

　　C at care home

　　D out of hospital

　　答案：D  

　　答案解析：事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)定位詞定位在文章的第二段前兩句Surveys show that over two-thirds of Britons would like to die at home.Like Dr Granger,they want to be、vith family and free of pain(調(diào)查發(fā)現(xiàn)，三分之二以上的英國(guó)人都希望在家中離開(kāi)這個(gè)世界。他們也像Granger醫(yī)生一樣希望有家人的陪伴，沒(méi)有病痛的折磨。)可知，英國(guó)人并不希望在醫(yī)院結(jié)束自己的生命，D項(xiàng)是文章的同義改寫(xiě)，故D項(xiàng)為正確選項(xiàng)�！靖蓴_排除】A項(xiàng)in the hospital“在醫(yī)院”、B項(xiàng)free ofpain“無(wú)痛苦”、C項(xiàng)at care home“在護(hù)理中心”都不能體現(xiàn)英國(guó)人希望告別人世的地點(diǎn)，因此應(yīng)當(dāng)排除。

The word"trundling"(Para.7)is closest in meaning to——.

　　A covering

　　B working

　　C overwhelming

　　D identifying

　　答案：A  

　　答案解析：詞匯理解題。解決此題目的關(guān)鍵是通讀段落后，仔細(xì)分析上下句，找到同性詞。通過(guò)上下信息很難體現(xiàn)該單詞的含義，因此另一種方式為將四個(gè)選項(xiàng)分別與文中的單詞替換，看哪一個(gè)意思通順，A項(xiàng)covering“涵盞”，與througb搭配可以理解為“一個(gè)法案涵蓋了……”意思較為通順，故A項(xiàng)為正確選項(xiàng)。【干擾排除】B項(xiàng)中的working與through搭配表示消除，與上下文的含義不相符;c項(xiàng)表示占有主導(dǎo)地位，不能與through連用;D項(xiàng)表示識(shí)別，與上下文的邏輯不相符。故均排除。
