Passage One 60 Shortly after the war, my brother and I were invited to spend a few days h

35、oliday with an uncle who had just returned from abroad. He rented a cottage in the country, although he rarely spent much time there. The cottage, however, had no comfortable furniture in it, many of the windows were broken and the roof leaked, making the whole house damp. On our first evening, we s

36、at around the fire after supper listening to the stories our uncle had had to tell of his many adventures in distant countries. I was so tired after the long train journey that I would have preferred to go to bed, but I could not bear to miss any of my uncles exciting tales. He was just in the middl

37、e of describing a rather terrifying experience he had, when there was a loud crash from the bedroom above, the one where my brother and I were going to sleep. “It sounds as if the roof has fallen in!“ shouted my uncle, with a loud laugh.

38、or, a strange sight met our eyes. A large part of the ceiling had collapsed (坍塌 ), falling right on to the pillow of my bed.

39、loor of the sitting room downstairs not wishing to risk our lives by sleeping under a roof which might at any moment collapse on our heads. We left for London the very next morning and my uncle gave up his cottage in the country. This was not the kind of adventure he cared for, either! 61 What does

40、the writer say about his uncle during the war? （ A） He had a lot of adventures. （ B） He fought as a soldier. （ C） He made a lot of money. （ D） He enjoyed many of his adventures. 62 When did the story most likely happen? （ A） In the spring. （ B） In the summer. （ C） In the fall. （ D） In the winter. 63

The house owner, for example, knows that his property can be damaged by fire; the ship owner knows that his vessel may be lost at s

44、ea; the father knows that he may die at an early age and leave his family the poorer. On the other hand, not every house is damaged by fire, not every vessel lost at sea. If these persons each put a small sum into a pool, there will be enough to meet the needs of the few who do suffer loss. In other

45、 words, the losses of the few are met from the contributions of the many. This is the basis of insurance. Those who pay the contributions are known as “insured“ and those who control the pool of contributions as “insurers“. Not all risks lend themselves to being covered by insurance. Broadly speakin

46、g, the ordinary risks of business cannot be covered. The risk that buyers will not buy goods at the prices offered is not a kind that can be estimated in numbers and risks can only be insured against if they can be estimated. The legal basis of all insurance is the “policy“. This is a printed form o

47、f contract on thick paper of the best quality. It states that in return for regular payment by the insured of a named sum of money, called the “premium“, which is usually paid every year, the insurer will pay a sum of money for loss, if the risk or event insured against actually happens. 66 Why does

48、 the writer mention the father in the passage? （ A） The writer uses the father as an example to illustrate his point. （ B） The writer believes the father knows better than the mother. （ C） The writer wants to persuade the father to buy insurance. （ D） The writer wishes to set an example for fathers.

49、 67 Which of the following can be covered by insurance? （ A） All risks of business. （ B） All houses damaged by fire. （ C） Goods with clearly marked prices. （ D） Things whose values can be estimated. 68 What do insurers firmly believe? （ A） No one can avoid any risks. （ B） People dont like to spend their money. （ C） Almost all people trust insurance. （ D） Mo
