The word “euthanasia” in the second paragraph most probably means ________.
58. [C]意为：医师为帮助生命垂危病人摆脱痛苦而采取的致死措施。 本题是一道词义题，但是解题更多的需要涉及到文章中心词，本文第一段从澳大利亚通过的一个关于安乐死法案的新闻入手，下文全部在讨论各界对该法案的反应，同时在文章最后作者以实例表明了自己对安乐死的观点，由此我们可以确定文章的中心是关于安乐死的。而考研文章的任何一道阅读题目的命制都是和文章中心紧密相连的。据此我们可以推断出答案为C。 A意为：医师对垂危病人的同情。 B 医师对垂死病人采取的过激医疗手段。 D 医师为挽救垂危病人的生命而采取的善意的治疗。 另外“euthanasia” 所在句和下面的 In the US and Canada, where the right to die movement is gathering strength, observers are waiting for the dominoes to start falling.处于平衡位置，由此我们可以判断“euthanasia”和下句的 the right to die 大意相同,答案可以锁定 C，四个选项中只有该选项与死亡相关。
