30、r each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A, B, C, and D. You should make the correct choice. 71 Most insurance companies in the world are stock insurance companies or mutual insurance companies. A stock insurance company is owned by stockholders, who share in profits earned by the com
31、pany. A mutual insurance company is owned by the policyholders(投保人 ). Profits earned by a mutual insurance company are returned to the policyholders as dividends(股息 ) or used to cut future insurance cost. In addition to the private insurance organizations, certain types of insurance are provided in
32、the U.S. by governmental organizations. A notable instance is the system of social security operated by the federal government through the Social Security Administration. An insurance company may require a policyholder to provide proof of the ownership and the value of lost or damaged property befor
33、e it pays compensation. For this reason, policyholders should have such evidence of their possessions as lists, sales receipts, appraisals(估价单 ), or photographs. The evidence should be kept in a safe-deposit box or other secure place outside the home. Many companies that sell health insurance polici
34、es(保险 ) provide cash benefits to the insured person. A cash benefit is a fixed dollar amount for each medical expense or day of hospitalization. If the cash benefits do not cover the entire cost of medical care, the policyholder must pay the rest. 71 The profits earned by a mutual insurance company_
35、. （ A） are shared by the stockholders （ B） are all given to the policyholders as stocks （ C） are used to reduce future insurance cost （ D） are used in some investment 72 As to the types of insurance organizations, there are_. （ A） both private and governmental organizations （ B） only private insuran

38、ey for each medical care Task 2 Directions: This task is the same as Task 1. The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 through 45. 76 Man finds living together with his own species (物种 ) difficult enough and living together with other species almost impossible. Our usual solution is t
39、o kill off anything that get in our way. Even on those rare occasions when we do enter a relationship with other species, it is heavily biased (带有倾向 ) in our favor. The other species benefit only when they suit our own interests. Our attempts to communicate with another species are concerned mainly
40、with giving orders in our own language and having them obeyed. 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 under stand. Its only fault lies in fact that the bias
41、 is still therethe dog cannot whistle for the man. But now 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
42、 a young female chimpanzee (黑猩猩 ) called Washoe. Allen and Beatrice Gardener have succeeded in doing this because they have used an entirely new approach, an approach based on the natural abilities of the champanzee. Past attempts to communicate with chimpanzees have failed because the researchers t
43、ried to make their animals use a local language. 76 According 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 77 According
44、to the writer, we communicate with animals in an attempt to _. （ 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 78 The writer implies that the shepherd-sheepdog whistle language is still biased because _. （ A） it can only be
45、 used to give orders （ B） it is not natural for both shepherd and sheepdog （ C） it is a one-way communication approach （ D） it can only be used between man and dog 79 Allen and Beatrice Gardener managed to communicate with the chimpanzee by _. （ A） training the chimpanzee to learn human language in
46、an entirely new method （ B） creating a language both man and the chimpanzee were able to use （ C） using animals local language which the chimpanzee was able to understand （ D） learning the chimpanzees language with an entirely new approach 80 It can be inferred from the passage that _. （ A） in the f
