However, wh
24、en you are actually purchasing car insurance, it can be difficult for you to decide which is your best choice. The ideal buying process is to first research and decide, then purchase. Research first Before buying car insurance, you should find out the purpose of your purchase and how the insurance m
25、eets your needs. Decide on suitable Car Insurance Policies (保单) A neglected part of car insurance is the part which covers medical bills. Medical payments can add up very quickly in an accident situation, and the insurance should cover the bills incurred (招致) both by you and by the passengers in you
26、r car. Make sure you know the full value that your insurance coveys. Purchase the best Car Insurance for your needs You have a number of choices when it comes to the actual purchase of the car insurance.

27、previous buying experience.

31、五、Passage 2(总题数：1，分数：10.00)I suppose that the most basic and powerful way to connect to another person is to listen. Just listen. Perhaps the most important thing we ever give each other is our attention, and especially if it“s given from the heart. When people are talking, there“s no need to do any
32、thing but receive them. Listen to what they“re saying. Care about it. Most times caring about it is even more important than understanding it. Most of us don“t value ourselves or our love enough to know this. It has taken me a long time to believe in the power of simple saying “I“m so sorry.“ when s
33、omeone is in pain. One of my patients told me that when she tried to tell her story people often interrupted to tell her that they once had something just like that happening to her. Subtly, her pain became a story about themselves. Eventually she stopped talking to most people. We connect through l
34、istening. When we interrupt what someone is saying to let them know that we understand, we move the focus of attention to ourselves. When we listen, they know we care. I have ever learned to respond to someone crying by just listening. In the old days I used to reach for the handkerchiefs, until I r
35、ealized that passing a person a handkerchief may be just another way to shut him down, to take them out of their experience of sadness. Now I just listen. When they have cried all they need to cry, they find me there with them. This simple thing has not been that easy to learn. It certainly went aga
36、inst everything I had been taught since I was very young. I thought people listened only because they were too shy to speak or did not know the answer. But now I know that a loving silence often has far more power to heal than the kindest words.（分数：10.00）(1).What does the author value most in the co
37、mmunication with each other?（分数：2.00）A.Deep understanding.B.Saying “I“m sorry“.C.Attention from heart.D.Doing nothing.(2).The woman“s patient stopped telling her story to most people because _.（分数：2.00）A.she didn“t get enough respect from othersB.she was discouraged by being often interruptedC.peopl
38、e often told her their own opinionsD.people couldn“t understand her sad situation(3).If you hand a handkerchief to someone crying, you may _.（分数：2.00）A.hurt his feelingsB.make him embarrassedC.encourage him to continue to cryD.stop him from letting out his sorrow(4).It can be inferred from the passa
39、ge that while communicating, _.（分数：2.00）A.listening is a perfect way to respond to othersB.people keep silent because they don“t know the answerC.keeping silent means being too shy to speakD.it is easy to form the habit of listening silently(5).Which of the following might be the author“s opinion ab
40、out communication?（分数：2.00）A.Keep silent.B.Just listen.C.Be careful.D.Tell your own story.六、Passage 3(总题数：1，分数：10.00)Believe it or not, optical illusion (错觉) can cut highway crashes (撞毁). Japan is a case in point. It has reduced automobile crashes on some roads by nearly 75 percent using a simple op
41、tical illusion. Bent strips, called chevrons (人字形), painted on the roads make drivers think that they are faster than they really are, and thus drivers slow down. Now the American Automobile Association Foundation for Traffic Safety in Washington D.C. is planning to repeat Japan“s success. Starting
42、next year, the Foundation will paint chevrons and other patterns of strips on selected roads around the country to test how well the patterns reduce highway crashes. Excessive speed plays a major role in as much as one fifth of all fatal (致命) traffic accidents, according to the Foundation. To help r
43、educe those accidents, the Foundation will carry its tests in areas where speed-related hazards (危险) are the greatestcurves (弯), exit slopes, traffic circles, and bridges. Some studies suggest that straight, horizontal bars (水平障碍物) painted across roads can initially (最初) cut the average speed of dri
44、vers in half. However, traffic often returns to full speed within months as drivers become used to seeing the painted bars. Chevrons, scientists say, not only give drivers the impression that they are driving faster than they really are, but also make a lane (车道) appear to be narrower. The result is
45、 a longer lasting reduction in highway speed and the number of traffic accidents.（分数：10.00）(1).The passage mainly discusses _.（分数：2.00）A.a new way of highway speed controlB.a new pattern for painting highwaysC.a new way of training driversD.a new type of optical illusion(2).On roads painted with che
46、vrons, drivers tend to feel that _.（分数：2.00）A.they should avoid speed-related hazardsB.they are driving in the wrong laneC.they should slow down their speedD.they are coming near to the speed limit(3).The advantage of chevrons over straight, horizontal bars is that the former _.（分数：2.00）A.can keep d
47、rivers awakeB.can cut road accidents in halfC.will look more attractiveD.will have a longer effect on drivers(4).The American Automobile Association Foundation for Traffic Safety plans to _.（分数：2.00）A.try out the Japanese method in certain areasB.change the road signs across the countryC.replace str
48、aight, horizontal bars with chevronsD.repeat the Japanese road patterns(5).What does the author say about straight, horizontal bars painted across roads?（分数：2.00）A.They are suitable only on broad roads.B.They are falling out of use in the United States.C.They are ignored in a long period of time.D.T
49、hey cannot be used successfully to traffic circles.七、Passage 4(总题数：1，分数：10.00)When you were looking for a reliable, honest auto mechanic, how did you find him? Before you went into that restaurant you recently tried, how did you know that it served great food? If you“re like most everyone on the planet, you want to lower your risk of a
