求问大侠一道考研英语阅读题

1、2002年Text4第3题为何选A？我选的是D，感觉有不故一切疯狂乱用的意思。
2、我买的参考资料是张剑的黄宝书，那书中对这篇短文讲解时又补充考点加了几道题。有一题是The doctors mentioned by Nancy Dubler ——（ )
A.are using high doses of drugs
B.are against the principle of "double effect"
C.are physician-assisted suicide supporters
D.are worried about the negative effect of high drug dosages.
我选的是C，答案是A。我很不理解呢，文中相关句是:
Nancy Dubler contends that the principle will shield doctors who "untill now have very ,very stongly insisted that they could not give patients sufficient medicication to control their pain if that might hasten death".按这意思，不是这些医生赞同帮助自杀，想给病人开大剂量药但又不敢么？untill now ——————they couldn't————
难道我理解的不对么？
3、该文最后一段第二句话是：
“large numbers of physicians seem unconcerned with the pain their patients are needlessly and predictably suffering",to the extent that it constitutes "systematic patient abuse".其中to the extent that是引导词么？为何多出个that，这个词充当什么成分啊？

Answer 1

回答2：你把until now放到句末,那么这就是not until 搭配,直到...才....那么这句话的意思是Nancy Dubler 说这个原则会保护那些直到现在才坚持认为如果药可以加速死亡,他们就可以给病人足够大的剂量来减轻病痛.(以前不敢,但是现在敢了)
回答3： that后面接了个从句啊, 应该是引导同位语从句,具体的说明extent 的程度
