Unit One A. 在一切生物中，要算蜂鸟体形最优美、颜色最鲜艳。经过工艺加工的各种宝石和金属是无法跟这个大自然的珍宝媲美的。大自然按照鸟类的大小把它列为最小号，真是“最小的绝妙珍品”。 这种小蜂鸟是大自然的杰作；大自然把其他鸟类只能分有其中一部分的种种天赋全部慷慨地给了它。这个小宠儿具有轻盈、敏捷、灵活、优雅以及羽毛绚丽等一切妙处。那翠绿的、艳红的、嫩黄色的羽毛闪闪发光。蜂鸟从不让它的羽毛沾染尘土，它生活在天空中，一刻也不碰到草皮。它总是在空中飞翔，从花丛飞向花丛；它像花一样鲜艳，又像花一样艳丽。蜂鸟靠花蜜为生，它只生活在四季鲜花盛开的地方。 1. After climbing up to the top of the mountain and looking a far from the vantage point, I saw laid out before me a spectacular view, which was one of the most awe-inspiring view I have ever beheld; but equally exhilarating was the fact that some distance away a hawk was soaring high, and then, for an instant, it suddenly plummeted down into the canyon. 2. My fondest memory is of spending a few days with a family in a mountain village, dinnering with them and enjoying various dishes endemic to the region. It is of mellow sweetness to have watched them, decked out in their traditional garb, moving around the house. Of course, a stay there for some more days involves some degree of ‘roughing-it’. Unit Two A、她的眼睛睁开着，手臂和脚在扭动着，她开始哭了。若布赖恩出生于十年前甚至五年前的话，她的哭声也许无人响应了。医生无法延缓如此娇小的早产儿的生命。在整个20世纪70年代，比布赖恩大两倍多得早产儿都面临着微小的生存希望。但是科技进步在布赖恩身上体现了出来。在过去的几年里，医生在新生儿的精心护理上取得了巨大进步。随着精密医疗设备以及新兴技术的发展，他们能够挽救只有掌心大小的婴儿的生命。早产儿通常是转入到加护病房，在柔和的灯光以及频繁的警报声中，最弱小的婴儿争取着新一天的生活。这对于人力以及财力上都是一笔不小的开支。大多数的早产儿会过着正常的生活，但其他地在经过数日或数周的日夜护理之后就悄然离开了。一些生存下来的婴儿身体残疾如此严重，以至于他们的父母不得不思考拯救其孩子生命的技术已经是一种负担而不是幸福。 B. 1. Quite a few terminally ill patients would often like their doctors to administer lethal drugs to them to be relieved of suffering; there are also some of their families who would prefer that doctors withdraw any life-prolonging treatment since there is no hope of effecting an ultimate cure. This problem has lately boiled over into a fierce public debate in some European countries. 2、Those who are opposed to ‘Euthanasia’ believe that it is no different from murder and that it is unethical, while the pro-euthanasists contend that since the incurably ill consider their existence more of a torment and suffering, why not let them end their live
