参考答案和解析
推理判断题。由题干可定位至原文第二段。根据该词的上一句“It was published as a series and was a huge success.（它作为一个系列出版，并取得了巨大的成功）”以及该词之后的“in both Great Britain and the United States.（在英国和美国）”可以推知，他很成功、很出名。因此prominent在这里表示“突出的，杰出的，卓越的”。A项与其意思相近，故选A。thoughtful深思的，体贴的，周到的。careful小心的，仔细的。difficult困难的。

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。
