本文是一篇说明文，是加拿大游乐园的旅游指导宣传页。作者通过描述游客服务、饮食选择、atm机服务、宠物的照料、急救、婴儿车、储物柜和轮椅的租用及吸烟的规定等方面，为游客的旅游提供全方位的指导服务。56d细节理解题。文章主要介绍了游乐园的顾客服务，有饮食选择、宠物护理、急救措施等周到的服务，故选d项。57b细节理解题。根据first aid一栏中的信息可知，来园的游客可以要求急救，故选b项。而a项应是在前门内；c项应是在指定的区域可以吸烟，而不是在水上公园；d项中宠物应留在前门外并要求游客提供食物，故a、c和d错。we discuss the issue of when to help a patient die. doctors of our generation are not newcomers to this question. going back to my internship（实习）days, i can remember many patients in pain, sometimes in coma(昏迷), with late, hopeless cancer. for many of them, we wrote an order for heavy medicationmorphine(吗啡)by the clock. this was not talked about openly and little was written about it. it was essential, not controversial.the best way to bring the problem into focus is to describe two patients whom i cared for. the first, formerly a nurse, had an automobile accident. a few days later her lungs seemed to fill up; her heart developed dangerous rhythm disturbances. so there she was: in coma, on a breathing machine, her heartbeat maintained with an electrical device. one day after rounds, my secretary said the husband and son of the patient wanted to see me. they told me their wife and mother was obviously going to die; she was a nurse and had told her family that she never wanted this kind of terrible death, being maintained by machines. i told them that while i respected their view, there was nothing deadly about her situation. the kidney(肾) failure she had was just the kind for which the artificial kidney was most effective. while possibly a bit reassured, they were disappointed. here was the head surgeon seemingly determined to keep everybody alive, no matter what.within a few days the patients pacemaker(起搏器) could be removed and she awoke from her coma. about six months later, the door of my office opened and in walked a gloriously fit woman. after some cheery words of appreciation, the father and son asked to speak to me alone. as soon as the door closed, both men became quite tearful. all that came out was, we want you to know how wrong we were.the second patient was an 85-year-old lady whose hair caught fire while she was smoking. she arrived with a deep burn; i knew it would surely be deadly. as a remarkable coincidence there was a meeting for discussion going on at the time in medical ethics(道德). the speaker asked me if i had any sort of ethical problem i could bring up for discussion. i described the case and asked the students their opinion. after the discussion, i made a remark that was, when looking back, a serious mistake. i said, ill take the word back to the nurses about her and we will talk about it some more before we decide. the instructor and the students were shocked: you mean this is a real patient? the teacher of ethics was not accustomed to being challenged by actuality. in any event, i went back and met with the nurses. a day or two later, when she was making no progress and was suffering terribly, we began to back off treatment. soon she died quietly and not in pain. as a reasonable physician, you had better move ahead and do what you would want done for you. and dont discuss it with the world first. there is a lesson here for everybody. assisting people to leave this life requires strong judgment and long experience to avoid its misuse.1. in the early days when a patient had got a deadly, hopeless illness, _.a. doctors used to ask the patient to go back home and wait for deathb. doctors would write all their treatment plan on the patients medical recordc. doctors would talk about their treatment plan openlyd. usually doctors would inject more morphine into the patient to end his life2、. the first patients husband and son wanted the doctor_.a. to end her lifeb. to save

end their livesb. the importance of mercy killingc. the relationship between mercy killing and ethicsd. the case about an old lady5、. the author suggested that doctors_ before they assist a patient in

can best describe the author?a. cruel. b. determined. c. experienced. d. considerate.参考答案1-6 dabdbc the board meeting had come to an end. bob started to stand up and knocked into the table, spilling his coffee over his notes. “how embarrassing! i am getting so clumsy in my old age.”everyone had a good laugh, and soon we were all telling stories of our most embarrassing moments. it came around to frank who sat quietly listening to the others. someone said, “come on, frank. tell us your most embarrassing moment.”frank laughed and began to tell us of his childhood. “i grew up in san pedro. my dad was a fisherman, and he loved the sea. he had his own boat, but it was hard making a living on the sea. he worked hard and would stay out until he caught enough to feed the family. not just enough for our family, but also for his mom and dad and the other kids that were still at home.”he looked at us and said, “i wish you could have met my dad. he was a big man, and he was strong from pulling the nets and fighting the seas for his catch. when you got close to him, he smelled like the ocean. he would wear his old canvas, foul-weather coat and his bibbed overalls. his rain hat would be pulled down over his brow. no matter how much my mother washed them, they would still smell of the sea and of fish.”franks voice dropped a bit. “when the weather was bad he would drive me to school. he had this old truck that he used in his fishing business. that truck was older than he was. it would wheeze and rattle down the road. you could hear it coming for blocks. as he would drive toward the school, i would shrink (畏缩) down into the seat hoping to disappear. half the time, he would slam to a stop and the old truck would belch (喷出) a cloud of smoke. he would pull right up in front, and it seemed like everybody would be standing around and watching. then he would lean over and give me a big kiss on the cheek and tell me to be a good boy. it was so embarrassing for me. here, i was twelve years old, and my dad would lean over and kiss me goodbye!”he paused and then went on, “i remember the day i decided i was too old for a goodbye kiss. when we got to the school and came to a stop, he had his usual big smile. he started to lean toward me, but i put my hand up and said, “no, dad.” it was the first time i had ever talked to him that way, and he had this surprised look on his face. i said, “dad, im too old for a goodbye kiss. im too old for any kind of kiss.” my dad looked at me for the longest time, and his eyes started to tear up. then he turned and looked out the windshield. “ youre right,” he said. “ you are a big boy.a man. i wont kiss you anymore.”frank got a funny look on his face, and the tears began to well up in his eyes, as he spoke. “it wasnt long after that when my dad went to sea and never came back. it was a day when most o
