You should read the reading materials carefully and do the tasks as you are instructed._26.Task 1Directions: After reading the fol
20、lowing passage, you will find 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_Insurance(保险)is the sharing of risks. Nearly everyone is exposed to risk of some sort. The house ow
21、ner, for example, knows 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
22、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 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 adminis
23、ter(管理)the pool of contributions 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
24、 every year, the insurer 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 wil
25、l be more to make the 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.（分数：10.00）(1).According to the writer, insurance is possible because_.（分数：2.00）
26、A.only a small proportion of the insured suffer lossB.only insured people suffer lossC.nearly everyone suffers lossD.everyone at some time suffers loss(2).By “the pool of contributions“ the writer means_.（分数：2.00）A.the cost of administering insuranceB.the amount of each premiumC.money paid by the in
27、surersD.money paid by the insured(3).A policy is_.（分数：2.00）A.a legal agreementB.a check to be cashed at the bankC.money paid by the insuredD.a particular kind of insurance(4).Insurance premiums do not become too high because_.（分数：2.00）A.not many people suffer lossB.they are fixed according to how li
28、kely the risk of loss is to happenC.not many people insure themselvesD.insurance companies compete with each other(5).According to the writer, insurance is_.（分数：2.00）A.useful but too riskyB.useful and necessaryC.costly but worth buyingD.cheap but not necessary27.Task 2Directions：This task is the sam
29、e as Task 1The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 through 45_Youth is not a matter of time but a matter of self-improvement, both physically and morally.
