　　2.B.分析：考察上下文中的用詞。B與前文中的terminally呼應，而且“致命的心臟疾病或癌癥”正好符合or要求前后詞義對等的特點。

　　3.C.分析：被選項中包含標題詞或文章主題詞時，答案往往出自是標題詞或文章主題詞的選項?？疾煳恼轮行?。

　　4.A. 分析：考察文章中心(態(tài)度不同)。該題也可直接借助句意解答。

　　5. B。分析：考察習慣搭配結構。

　　6.B. 分析：結合文章主題用詞，直接選擇dying。

　　7.D.分析：根據(jù)被選項的搭配使用特點(regard..as..(把..看成..)/ want sth.)，直接縮小答案范圍，再借助句句意判斷答案。

　　8.C. 分析：根據(jù)被選項的搭配使用特點(mean sth./mean to do sth(打算做..).; present sth. to sb. / consider sth. (as) sth./把..看成..; take sth. )和句意判斷C是答案。

　　11.B.分析：考察搭配結構(at the beginning of../at the end of ../at the time of../n the period of..)和句意，判斷B((在臨死的)時刻)是答案。

　　12.B.分析：該句中的also暗示該句在句意和結構上與前句的緊密呼應關系，借助前句用詞(mean)，直接判斷答案B。

　　13.C.分析：借助與空格處在含義上相關的詞語concerns(擔心)，結合上文內(nèi)容判斷C(使負擔/給予麻煩)最合適。其實下文中有內(nèi)容上的提示。

　　14.A.分析：借助搭配結構含義和常識(病人會對家人產(chǎn)生情感方面或經(jīng)濟方面的影響)判斷A(經(jīng)濟方面的)最合適。

　　15.D.分析：借助習慣搭配結構(be worried about sth./ be worried that..)直接判斷答案。
