25、ional right to physician-assisted suicide, the Court in effect supported the medical principle of “double effect“ , a centuries-old moral principle holding that an action having two effects-a good one that is intended and a harmful one that is foreseenis permissible if the actor intends only the goo

26、d effect.Doctors have used that principle in recent years to justify using high doses of morphine to control terminally ill patients pain, even though increasing dosages will eventually kill the patient. Nancy Dubler, director of Montefiore Medical Center, contends that the principle will shield doc

27、tors who “until now have very, very strongly insisted that they could not give patients sufficient mediation to control their pain if that might hasten death. “George Annas, chair of the health law department at Boston University, maintains that, as long as a doctor prescribes a drug for a legitimat

28、e medical purpose, the doctor has done nothing illegal even if the patient uses the drug to hasten death. “It s like surgery,“ he says. “We don t call those deaths homicides because the doctors didn t intend to kill their patients, although they risked their death. If you re a physician, you can ris

29、k your patient s suicide as long as you dont intend their suicide. “On another level, many in the medical community acknowledge that the assisted-suicide debate has been fueled in part by the despair of patients for whom modern medicine has prolonged the physical agony of dying.Just three weeks befo

30、re the Court s ruling on physician-assisted suicide, the National Academy of Science(NAS)released a two-volume report-Approaching Death: Improving Care at the End of Life. It identifies the under treatment of pain and the aggressive use of “ineffectual and forced medical procedures that may prolong

31、and even dishonor the period of dying“ as the twin problems of end-of-life care.The profession is taking steps to require young doctors to train in hospices, to test knowledge of aggressive pain management therapies, to develop a Medicare billing code for hospital-based care, and to develop new stan

32、dards for assessing and treating pain at the end of life.Annas says lawyers can play a key role in insisting that these well-meaning medical initiatives translate into better care. “ Large numbers of physicians seem unconcerned with the pain their patients are needlessly and predictably suffering,“

33、to the extent that it constitutes “ systematic patient abuse“. He says medical licensing boards “must make it clear that painful deaths are presumptively ones that are incompetently managed and should result in license suspension. “ 56 According to the NAS s report, one of the problems in end-of-lif

34、e care is_.（A）prolonged medical procedures（B） inadequate treatment of pain（C） systematic drug abuse（D）insufficient hospital care57 Which of the following best defines the word “aggressive“(line 3, paragraph 6)?（A）Bold.（B） Harmful.（C） Careless.（D）Desperate.58 From the second paragraph, we learn that

35、it is still illegal for doctors to_.59 According to the text, the Court ruled that high-dosage pain-relieving medication_.60 George Annas would probably agree that doctors should be punished if they_.Section B60 The sixteenth international AIDS conference opened on Sunday in Toronto, Canada. More th

36、an twenty-four thousand delegates from one hundred thirty-two countries are attending the six-day conference. They include scientists, health care providers, activists, political and business leaders and people living with the disease. Many people attending the AIDS conference represent private nong

37、overnmental organizations, or NGOs. Political scientists often describe NGOs as “pressure groups“ because of their effect on world issues. They have little official power over international decision-making. However, NGOs often influence international policy.A broad definition of NGO is any non-profi

38、t group that is independent of government. Most of these private organizations have one or more goals. For example, some support community development , provide social services and help poor people. Others support human rights and social justice. Still others work to protect the environment. NGOs su

39、pport many issues and operate around the world. Some of the most well-known include Oxfam, Amnesty International and Greenpeace. James Paul heads the Global Policy Forum. It is an NGO in New York City that studies policymaking at the United Nations. He says that some NGOs represent industries or bus

40、inesses, the interests of governments, or even criminal groups. He says it would be a mistake to believe that all NGOs are neutral. The World Bank has divided NGOs into three main groups. The first is community-based organizations that serve populations in a small geographical area. The second is na

41、tional NGOs, which operate in individual developing countries. International NGOs are the third kind. These organizations usually have their headquarters in industrialized countries. They carry out operations in more than one developing nation. Information about the total number of non-governmental

42、organizations is incomplete. However, experts estimate that tens of thousands of NGOs are active around the world. Large international NGOs may have operating budgets of tens of millions of dollars. However, most NGOs are much smaller. 61 What does NGO stand for?62 What is the broad definition of NG

43、O?63 What is the general function of NGOs?64 Why does James Paul think it would be a mistake to believe that all NGOs are neutral?65 What are the three main groups of NGOs divided by the World Bank?Section C65 Collision between an aircraft and one or more birds is termed a bird-strike. Pilots someti

44、mes record a birdstrike while at cruising altitudes, but most of them happen when an aircraft is relatively close to the ground, usually in proximity to an airport and during the circling, descent to land or take-off phases of a flight.Birdstrikes may cause significant damage to an aircraft and/or,

45、if the birds are ingested into a jet engine, a significant and sudden loss of power. If this were to happen during take-off or initial climb of a fully loaded passenger aircraft the results could be catastrophicloss of the aircraft and the lives of those on board. Any bird is a potential hazard to a

46、ircraft and this is especially true as bird numbers and bird size increase.Unfortunately airports themselves can be attractive to birdsrodents, insects and other small animals are a food source often found in flat grassed areas such as the runway strips. Even so, this problem can be reduced by caref

47、ul habitat management or bird harassment techniques practised by airport maintenance and safety personnel.Further problems may arise because the airport is located on bird migration routes. These may have existed prior to the airport site selectionbut may not have been taken into account because the

48、 problem was not understood at the timeor have only been recently established because the birds have found an attractive new food source. Care needs to be taken by local authorities in deciding the location of rubbish tips, or when permitting other land uses that may be attractive to birds in this w

49、ay. Of course these effects cannot always be anticipated with certainty since birds such as gulls have been recorded as travelling 50 kilometres or more from their roosting area to an attractive food source.Agricultural uses may be thought desirable because they are compatible with high levels of noise exposure, but they can have an adverse effect on ai
