现在基础阶段，大家的复习重点仍然是早年考研英语真题阅读的精读。阅读是一个相对综合的题型，在复习过程中，各方面能力都会有所提升。文都教育考研英语老师继续为大家梳理考研英语历年真题阅读文章中涉及的要点，包括词汇、短语、长难句以及简单的阅读方法。接下来看一下2002年考研英语真题阅读Text 4，这篇文章主要探讨了关于安乐死的法律争议。
... maintains that, as long as a doctor prescribes a drug for a legitimate medical purpose, the doctor has done nothing illegal ... “We don’t call those deaths homicides because the doctors didn’t intend to kill their patients, although they risked their death...”
maintain“坚持认为”；as long as“只要”；prescribe“开药方”；legitimate“合法的”；purpose“目的”；illegal“违法的”；homicide“过失杀人”；intend to do“想要做某事”；risk“冒...的危险”。
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.
medical community“医学界”；acknowledge“承认”；debate“争论”；fuel“供给燃料”，也就是“争论加剧”；in part“在某种程度上”；despair“绝望”；prolong“延长”；agony“痛苦”。
... ruling on physician-assisted suicide, ... released a two-volume report, ... It identifies the undertreatment of pain and the aggressive use of “ineffectual and forced medical procedures that may prolong and even dishonor the period of dying” as the twin problems of end-of-life care.
ruling“裁定”；release“发布”；it指report“报告”；identify“确定”；undertreatment“处理不足”；aggressive“侵略性的”，aggressive use可以表示“大胆使用”；ineffectual“无效的”；forced“强迫性的”；procedure“程序”；dishonor“使蒙羞”。
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 standards for assessing and treating pain at the end of life.
take steps to do“采取措施做某事”；require“要求”；train“培训”；hospice“收容所，救济院”；therapy“治疗，疗法”；hospital-based“以医院为基础的”；develop new standards“制定新的标准”，结合语境，develop引申为“制定”；assess“评估”。
... well-meaning medical initiatives ... “Large numbers of physicians seem unconcerned with ...” ... “systematic patient abuse.” ... that painful deaths are presumptively ones that are incompetently managed and should result in license suspension.”
well-meaning medical initiatives“善意的医疗行为”；be unconcerned with“对...漠不关心”；abuse“虐待”；presumptively“假设地”；incompetently“无能力地，不胜任地”；suspension“暂停，吊销”。
以上就是文都教育考研英语老师为大家梳理的2002年考研英语真题阅读Text 4后五段的要点。“骐骥一跃，不能十步；驽马十驾，功在不舍。锲而舍之，朽木不折；锲而不舍，金石可镂。”切忌“三天打鱼，两天晒网，”对学习一定要有恒心和毅力，如果没有坚持，极有可能导致一事无成。
