18、he correct choice35 Insurance (保险)is the sharing of risks. Nearly everyone is exposed to risk of some sort. 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 sea; the breadwinner knows that he may die at any early age an
19、d 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 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 contribution
20、s 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 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 i
21、n return for the regular payment by the insured of a named sum of money, called the pre-mium(保险费), which is usually paid 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 upo
22、n how likely the risk is to happen, as suggested by past experience. If companies fix their premiums too high, there will 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 satisfac
23、tory to both the insurer and the insured.36 According to the writer, insurance is possible because_.（A）only a small proportion of the insured suffer loss（B） only insured people suffer loss（C） nearly everyone suffers loss（D）everyone at some time suffers loss37 By “the pool of contributions“ the write

25、come too high because_.（A）not many people suffer loss（B） they are fixed according to how likely the risk of loss is to happen（C） not many people insure themselves（D）insurance companies compete with each other40 According to the writer, insurance is_.（A）useful but too risky（B） useful and necessary（C）
26、 costly but worth buying（D）cheap but not necessaryTask 2Directions：This task is the same as Task 1The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 through 4540 Many countries face a somewhat more serious economic problems in the form of an unfavorable trade balance (贸易逆差) with other nations.
27、 Such an imbalance exists when the total value of a country s imports exceeds that of its exports. For example, if a country buys $ 250 billion of products from other countries, yet sells only $ 100 billion of its own products overseas, its trade deficit is $ 150 billion. Many underdeveloped nations
28、 find themselves in this position because they lack natural resources or the industrial capacity to use these resources, and thus have to import raw materials or manufactured goods.One effect of a trade deficit is the flow of currency (货币) out of a country. In the case of an underdeveloped nation, t
29、his can cause many financial difficulties, including failure to meet debt payments and obstacles to creation of an industrial base. Even in the case of a fully developed nation such as the United States, a large trade deficit is reason for alarm. American products, made by well-paid workers in US in
30、dustries, cost more to produce than those made in places like Asia, where labor and material costs are much lower. Money spent on foreign products is money not spent on items produced by domestic industries.41 What is the passage mainly about?（A）Several worldwide economic problems.（B） The causes and
31、 consequences of trade deficit.（C） Lack of resources in underdeveloped countries.（D）The value of exports against imports.42 According to the passage, when does a trade imbalance occur?（A）When a country has serious economic problem.（B） When a country sells more products overseas than it imports.（C） W
32、hen the value of the products a country imports is greater than the value of the product it exports.（D）When a country cant develop its natural resources.43 The word “deficit“ (Line 4, Para. 1) would be best replaced by which of the following?（A）shortage（B） situation（C） increase（D）products44 Which of
33、 the following is NOT mentioned as a possible cause of a trade imbalance?（A）Low labor and material costs in Asian countries.（B） A lack of natural resources.（C） An underdeveloped industrial base.（D）The high cost of exported items. 45 It can be inferred from the passage that American industries_.（A）do
34、 not pay their workers sufficient wages（B） are hurt by a trade imbalance（C） import labor and materials from overseas（D）provide a strong industrial base that prevents a trade deficitTask 3Directions：The following is a passageAfter reading it，you are required to complete the blanks below it(No46 throu
