问题 A terminally ill patient is one who ______.
The difference between active and passive euthanasia is whether ______.

选项 A、there is an action that speeds up the death of the patient
B、the breathing machine is taken off the patient
C、an overdose of deadly medicine is used
D、the patient is denied food supply

答案A

解析 本题答案在文章第二段。本段介绍了安乐死的两种方式“active euthanasia”和“passive euthanasia”。第二句“Active euthanasia means that a physician or other medical personnel takes an action that will result in death…”意为“主动的安乐死是指由医生采取措施结束病人生命,……”,第三句“Passive euthanasia means letting a patient die for lack of treatment,or stopping the treatment that has begun.”意为“被动的安乐死是指使病人因缺乏治疗或停止已开始的治疗而死亡”,由此可推知两种方式的区别在于是否采取某种措施来加速病人的死亡,即选项A。而B和D是对passive euthanasia所举的具体例子, C则是针对active euthanasia所举的具体例子。所以都过于具体,故排除。
