Australia---The vote for euthanasia(安乐死)was finally taken at 3:45 this morning. After six months’ argument and final 16 hours’ hot 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 bill was passed by the vote of 15 to 10. Almost immediately word flashed on the Internet and was picked up, half a world away, by John Hofsess, the director of the Right to Die Society of Canada. He sent it on through the group’s on-line service, Death NET. Hofsess says, “We posted it all day long, because this isn’t just something that happened in Australia. It’s world history.”
The full import may take a while to understand. The NT Rights of the Terminally III law has left physicians and citizens trying to deal with its moral and practical meaning. Some have breathed sighs of relief, but others, including churches, right to life groups and the Australian Medical Association, bitterly attacked the bill and the haste(匆忙,急忙) of its passage. But the tide is unlikely to turn back. In Australia — 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 for euthanasia. In the US and Canada, where the right to die movement is gathering strength, observers are waiting for the dominoes(多米诺骨牌) to start falling.
Under the new Northern Territory law, an adult patient can request death — probably by a deadly injection or pill — to put an end to suffering. The patient must be diagnosed as incurably 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 man suffering from lung cancer, the law means he can get on with living without the 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.
【小题1】According to the text ,which of the following statements is TRUE?

A.Australia now is the only country in the world to pass the law of euthanasia.
B.All people in Australia don’t have the same positive attitude to euthanasia.
C.Many patients will ask their doctors for euthanasia because they are afraid of death.
D.According to the law, if a patient requests death, his or her wish will be met after 48 hours.
【小题2】The underlined sentence in Para 2, “observers are waiting for the dominoes to start falling.” means that observers are waiting to see ___________.
A.the result of the game of dominoes.
B.that people’s attitude to euthanasia will be changed.
C.that the bill about euthanasia in Australia will come to an end.
D.the similar bills will be passed in other countries.
【小题3】Australia was the first country to pass the bill of euthanasia, but not USA or Canada. Which one is NOT the reason ?
A.In Australia, the technology of extending life is advanced.
B.In Australia, it is easy to deal with the moral and practical meaning.
C.In Australia, old people take up great part in the population of the whole country.
D.Australians gradually realize suffering from a terrible disease is worse than immediate death.
【小题4】It can be inferred from the text that _____________.
A.when Lloyd Nickson dies, he will face his death with calm characteristic of euthanasia.
B.physicians and citizens in Australia share the same view on euthanasia.
C.other countries are going to consider making a similar law to deal with euthanasia.
D.under the bill, patients requesting death are sure to be injected by deadly medicine.
【小题5】What’s the author’s attitude to euthanasia?
A.NegativeB.CriticalC.PositiveD.Doubtful

   Sitting on the peaceful coast of Galapagos Islands, Ecuador, watching the sun move quietly into the sea, you shouldn’t forget that Charles Darwin (1809-1882) arrived here in 1835. He stayed on the islands for five weeks, observing various animals. This finally inspired his famous work, On the Origin of Species. You can certainly follow Darwin’s footsteps and enjoy a trip from four to seven days to the islands.

The islands are certainly a paradise (天堂) for wildlife, as there are no natural killers on the islands and the number of boats and visitors is under government control. Though you cannot walk freely as Darwin did about 200 years ago, each day is as impressive as it could be.

    The most well-known animals of the Galapagos is the giant tortoise,which can be seen moving slowly around Santa Cruz, the second largest island in the archipelago(群岛). Some of these creatures are so old that they might have been in their youth by Darwin himself.

    Despite strict control over activities and timing, your stay on the Galapagos will be remembered as a chain of incomparable pictures; diving with sea lions that swim and play within inches of you; feeling small sharks touch your feet as you swim; and most magically, seeing a whale and her baby surface with a great breath of air.

    Travelling between the islands and observing the wildlife that so inspired Darwin, you will feel as though you are getting a special view of an untouched world. At night you will sleep on board the ship, leaving the wildlife in complete occupation of the islands, which are as undisturbed now as they have been since the beginning of time.

What do we know about Darwin’s visit to the islands?

   A. He studied different creatures on the islands

   B. He completed his famous book on the islands

   C. He was touched by the geography of the islands

   D. He was attracted by well-known animals of the islands

Which of the following plays a role in making the islands “a paradise for wildlife”?

   A. Animals on the islands feed on grass.

B. Local government forbids killing wildlife.

C. People cannot visit the islands as they wish.

D. Tourists are not allowed to touch the animals.

Your stay on the islands will be most impressive mainly because of         .

A. the beautiful sea views     B. Darwin’s inspiring trip

C. a closer view of animals    D. various daring activities

How many kinds of animals are mentioned in this passage?

    A. 2    B. 3   C. 4   D. 5

Which of the following would be the best title for the passage ?

A. A Unique Attraction for wildlife Lovers
