19、nd 5 questions or unfinished statements, numbered 36 through 40. For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A, B, C, and D. You should make the correct choice. 36 Insurance(保险 )is the sharing of risks. Nearly everyone is exposed to risk of some sort. The house owner, for example, know

20、s that his property can be damaged by fire, the ship-owner knows that his vessel may be lost at sea: the breadwinner knows that he may die at any early age and leave his family poorer. On the other hand， not every house is damaged by fire nor every vessel lost at sea. If these persons, each put a sm

21、all sum into a pool. there will be enough to meet the needs of the few who do suffer loss. In other words, the losses of the few are met from the contributions of the many. This is the basis of insurance. Those who pay the contribution are known as insured and those who administer(管理 )the pool of co

22、ntributions as insurers. The legal basis of all insurance is the policy. This is a printed form of contract on stout paper of the best quality. It states that in return for the regular payment by the insured of a named sum of money, called the premium (保险费 ), which is usually paid every year, the in

23、surer will pay a sum of money or compensation for loss, if the risk or event insured against actually happens. The premium for an insurance naturally depends upon how likely the risk is to happen, as suggested by past experience. If companies fix their premiums too high, there will be more make the

24、premium too low. they will lose money and may even have to drop out of business. So the ordinary forces of supply and demand keep premiums at a level satisfactory to both the insurer and the insured. 36 According to the writer, insurance is possible because_. （ A） only a small proportion of the insu

25、red suffer loss （ B） only insured people suffer loss （ C） nearly everyone suffers loss （ D） everyone at some time suffers loss 37 By “the pool of contributions“ the writer means_. （ A） the cost of administering insurance （ B） the amount of each premium （ C） money paid by the insurers （ D） money paid

27、k of loss is to happen （ C） not many people insure themselves （ D） insurance companies compete with each other 40 According to the writer， insurance is_. （ A） useful but too risky （ B） useful and necessary （ C） costly but worth buying （ D） cheap but not necessary Task 2 Directions: This task is the

28、same as Task 1. The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 through 45. 41 Man finds living together with his own species(物种 )difficult enough and living together with other species almost impossible. Our usual solution is to kill off anything that get in our way. Even on those rare occ

29、asions when we do enter into a relationship with another species, it is heavily biased(带有倾向 )in our favor. The other species benefits only when it suits our own interests. Our attempts to communicate with another species are concerned mainly with giving orders in our own language and having them obe

30、yed Probably our best attempt has been the whistle language that is used in the shepherd-sheepdog relationship. This is a system that is natural to neither species, but one that both can understand. Its only fault lies in fact that the bias is still there-the dog cannot whistle for the man. But now

31、comes news of a piece of research that promises, for the first time, to open up two-way communication between man and another species. At the University of Nevada in the western United States, animated(活跃的 )conversations are being held with a young female chimpanzee (黑猩猩 )called Washoe. Allen and Be

32、atrice Gardener have succeeded in doing this because they have used an entirely new approach, an approach based on the natural abilities of the chimpanzee. Past attempts to communicate with chimpanzees have failed because the researchers tried to make their animals use a vocal language. 41 According

33、 to the writer, when man finds it impossible to live together with other species, he usually_. （ A） tries to communicate with them （ B） tries to teach them a language （ C） sets up a relationship with them （ D） wipes them out 42 According to the writer, we communicate with animals in an attempt to_.

34、（ A） set up a relationship with them （ B） make them do what we want （ C） get along well with them （ D） teach them a language 43 The writer implies that the shepherd-sheepdog whistle language is still biased because_. （ A） it can only be used to give orders （ B） it is not natural for both shepherd an

35、d sheepdog （ C） it is a one-way communication approach （ D） it can only be used between man and dog 44 Allen and Beatrice Gardener managed to communicate with the chimpanzee by_. （ A） training the chimpanzee to learn human language in an entirely new method （ B） creating a language both man and the

36、chimpanzee were able to use （ C） using animal s vocal language which the chimpanzee was able to understand （ D） learning the chimpanzees language with an entirely new approach 45 It can be inferred from the passage that_. （ A） in the future the chimpanzee can learn language like human beings （ B） in

37、 the past researchers taught a chimpanzee words of our natural language （ C） man and animals can get along well if they can communicate with each other （ D） the chimpanzee can communicate well with us human beings Task 3 Directions: The following is a passage.

Where an environment is undisturbed, the ecology of an area is in balance. But if a creature dies out or an alien(相异的 )species is intr

40、oduced, then the ecology of this area will be upset. Man is a part of the environment and has done more to upset the ecology during his short span on earth than any other living creature. He has poisoned the atmosphere and polluted both land and water. He has wasted the earths natural resources with

41、 no thought for the future. He has killed a lot of precious animals for his delicacies (精美的食品 )on the table and for his elegant overcoats. Since man has done so much damage, it is up to man to try to put matters right. And the sooner he does something about it, the better. 1) (46) is everything that

42、 surrounds us. 2) (47) is the science of how living creatures and plants exist together. 3) The ecology of an area is (48) , where an environment is undisturbed. 4) Man is (49) of the environment. 5) Man has poisoned the atmosphere and (50) both land and water.
