  • 第2题:

    Insurance (保险) may be considered a game of risk in which individuals and businesses protect themselves, their families, and their property from possible losses resulting from unpredictable events such as storms, fires, accidents and illnesses. The first rule of the game, devised centuries age, is "share the risk". To play by this rule, many people take a small loss in place of one person′ s taking a large one.
    It is a simple idea: an individual pays a small amount of money called a premium (保险费) to an agent who acts on behalf of an insurance company, or underwriter, which holds the individual′s premium and the premiums paid by thousands of others. The individual receives an insurance policy, a promise that if there is a loss to the individual as defined in the policy the insurance company will pay for it. The funds will come from the individual′s premium, the premium paid by others who did not have losses, and money from the company′ s investment of all the premiums. An individual who does not have a loss loses the premium money but purchases what insurance underwriters call "peace of mind". It is a gamble for the customer and the underwriter, but it is built on the first rule of risk that losses are small when shared by many.
    Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?

    A.The first rule of the game in insurance business was devised hundreds of years ago.
    B.There are many agents who sell insurance policies and collect premiums on behalf of underwriters.
    C.An individual who pays premium for a policy is insured by an insurance company.
    D.An individual pays premium directly to an insurance company.

    答案:D
    解析:
    细节题。根据第二段中“an individual pays a small amount of money called a premium(保险费)to an agent who acts on behalf of an insurance company,or underwriter”可知,个人把保险费付给保险代理人而非直接付给保险公司。D项说法不正确。

    Earthquake Insurance

    1.Earthquake insurance is a form of homeowners' insurance which deals with damage caused by earthquakes.In regions where earthquakes are especially common,homeowners may be required to carry earthquake insurance,so that in the event of an earthquake,people rely less on government disaster funds and more on their own insurance policies.As a general rule,earthquake insurance is not a part of standard insurance policies,and it must be purchased separately.
    2.Earthquakes can cause a variety of damage to a home,ranging from complete destruction to damage which causes the building to become structurally unsound.Indirect damage caused by neigh-boring collapses of structures and freeways can also occur,as can more bizarre forms of earthquake damage,like winding up with a car in the living room or a sinkhole in the back yard.Fires and flooding are also common problems in the wake of earthquakes.
    3.When homeowners purchase earthquake insurance,they may be protected against both direct damage,such as a structural collapse after an earthquake,and indirect damage,like a fire caused by broken gas lines.More commonly,the insurance only covers structural damage caused directly by the earthquake.The insurance may pay for a complete replacement of the structure,or a remodel, depending on the type of insurance and the nature of the damage.Some policies also cover damaged property like cars,and they may provide living allowances so that the residents of the home can temporarily relocate for the duration of the repairs.
    4.This type of homeowners' insurance is prone to adverse selection,in which only people in high risk areas purchase the insurance.The problem with adverse selection for insurance companies is that it decreases the pool of customers,making potential payouts very expensive.For this reason, earthquake insurance often has a high deductible,and it can he very expensive.
    5.Recognizing the need for earthquake insurance,some governments have provided subsidies for earthquake insurance,to reduce the stress on insurance companies.Insurance companies also adjust their risk pools carefully,and there may be stringent requirements for a homeowner to purchase earthquake insurance.For example,a home may need to be retrofitted for earthquake safety, reducing the amount of damage which will be incurred in a quake.For low-income home owners, this can be very difficult,as it drives the cost of earthquake insurance out of reach,which can in turn make it difficult to get home loans,as many banks in earthquake-prone areas insist on earth-quake insurance as a condition for a loan.

    Earthquakes can cause a variety of direct damage and______.
    A:indirect damage
    B:risk pools
    C:government disaster funds
    D:the nature of the damage
    E:insurance policies
    F: prices

    答案:A
    解析:
    第一段开宗明义,介绍地震保险是……实际上就是对地震保险下定义,很明显,就是要告诉读者什么是地震保险。所以选择D。
    第二段第一句:Earthquakes can cause a variety of damage to a home…意思是地震会给一个家庭带来各种破坏……显然是在讲地震带来的危害。B选项What damages can a earthquake cause(地震会带来什么危害)与该段表述一致。

    A recent spate of art thefts at a major museum has led to a drastic increase in the insurance premiums that the museum must pay to insure its collection. Many art fans are concerned that the museum, which traditionally has charged no entrance fee, will be forced to charge a high entrance fee in order to pay for the increased insurance premiums.  Which of the following, if true, would most alleviate the concern of the art fans that the museum will be forced to charge high entrance fees?
    A

    Law enforcement officials recently apprehended the Belgian Bobcat, a notorious art thief who has been linked to at least 20 art heists.

    B

    Citing a dispute with the insurance company over the terms of its coverage, the museum has chosen to cancel its insurance policy.

    C

    The majority of visitors to the museum are schoolchildren, who could not reasonably be expected to pay a high entrance fee.

    D

    The museum pays for the majority of its total expenses from its large endowment, which is earmarked specifically for purchasing new art.

    E

    The museum recently installed a state-of-the-art burglar alarm system that will make future thefts almost impossible.

    Practice 5  Read the following text(s) and write an essay to  1) summarize the main points of the text(s),  2) make clear your own viewpoint, and  3) justify your stand.  In your essay, make full use of the information provided in the text(s). If you use more than three consecutive words from the text(s), use quotation marks (“ ”).  You should write 160—200 words on the ANSWER SHEET.  Smoking influences citizen’s health and also pollutes our living environment. Recently, Chen Zhu, minister of Health, said that the government should gradually include anti-addiction counseling and drugs in basic medical insurance coverage. Should anti-addiction be covered in medical insurance? The following are the supporters’ and opponents’ opinions.  Supporters:  Smoking is now the biggest threat to human health. Through medical insurance to pay for their anti-addition drugs, smokers are more likely to have a try to quit smoking.  It is hardly possible for smokers to quit smoking by their own efforts. If anti-addiction counseling and drugs are included in basic medical insurance coverage, smokers are more than willing to seek professional doctor for help and thus increase the chance of success.  Helping smokers keep away from addiction not only benefits the smokers themselves, but also those around them, which is of great potential public health significance. In addition, the cost of using medical insurance to pay for anti-addiction is much lower than that to treat chronic diseases in the future.  Opponents:  Looking at the number of people who are smokers versus the great majority who aren't, it's much fairer to put the costs on the backs of those who cause them rather than on the backs of the great majority who don't smoke.  Anti-addiction drugs are used to prevent  diseases, which is supposed to be paid from the public health or disease control, but not from medical insurance fund.  If anti-addition is covered in medical insurance, with 270 million smokers in China, how can the insurance bear it? In terms of 3000 RMB per person, we need 810 billion for medical insurance fund, while in 2010, the total income of urban basic medical insurance fund is only 430.9 billion.

    正确答案: 【范文】
    With the announcement that government is on the road of packing anti-smoking drugs in the medical insurance coverage, there is a heated public controversy. Supporters believe that this measure encourages smokers to quit smoking, increasing the chance of success. Opponents argue that there are too many smokers in China, so it is unfair for non-smokers to pay for the cost. As regards this issue, I am of the opinion that anti-addiction should be covered in the medical insurance.
    For one thing, although smoking is a personal habit, the harm it brings about affects all the people in the country, even in the world because it can not only destruct the health of both the smoker and the people surrounding him, but also cause environmental pollution. Hence, the act to cover anti-addiction in medical insurance by government is beneficial to the society. For another, packing anti-smoking medicine into medical insurance coverage encourages more smokers to take the initiative to give up smoking. Usually when they have to pay for the abandonment of smoking, smokers are less willing to show an active and positive attitude towards the non-smoking program. However, if this service is free, they may be more inclined to have a try.
    All in all, smoking is not just a personal habit, but also a serious social problem. Our planet cannot bear this choking air any more and we should take actions immediately to support the anti-addiction program by having anti-smoking drugs covered into medical insurance.

  • 第14题:

    Insurance (保险) may be considered a game of risk in which individuals and businesses protect themselves, their families, and their property from possible losses resulting from unpredictable events such as storms, fires, accidents and illnesses. The first rule of the game, devised centuries age, is "share the risk". To play by this rule, many people take a small loss in place of one person′ s taking a large one.
    It is a simple idea: an individual pays a small amount of money called a premium (保险费) to an agent who acts on behalf of an insurance company, or underwriter, which holds the individual′s premium and the premiums paid by thousands of others. The individual receives an insurance policy, a promise that if there is a loss to the individual as defined in the policy the insurance company will pay for it. The funds will come from the individual′s premium, the premium paid by others who did not have losses, and money from the company′ s investment of all the premiums. An individual who does not have a loss loses the premium money but purchases what insurance underwriters call "peace of mind". It is a gamble for the customer and the underwriter, but it is built on the first rule of risk that losses are small when shared by many.
    Which of the following statements is true?

    A.Premium is a small amount of money you pay for your losses.
    B.If an individual didn't have a loss, premium was not wasted, because he didn't need to worry about unpredictable events.
    C.An insurance agent holds premiums paid by the thousands.
    D.The premium will be refund if an individual does not have a lose.

    细节题。根据第二段倒数第二句“An individual who does not have a loss loses the premium money but purchases what insurance underwriters call‘peace of mind’.”可知.人们购买保险就是为了获得心灵平静,不用对未来不可预测的事情担心。B项说法正确。A项错在“for your losses”;C项应是insurance company或underwriter持有投保者的保险费,而不是insurance agent;D项如果投保者没有损失,保险费也是不退还的。
