第4题：
资料：（一）
Insurance 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 an early age and leave his family the 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 of money 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 money. This is the basis of insurance, Those who pay the contribution are known as “insured”and those who administer the pool of contributions as ”insurers”.
Not all risks can be covered by insurance. Broadly speaking, the ordinary risks of business and speculation cannot be covered. The risk that buyers will not buy goods at the prices offered is not of a kind that can be statistically estimated, and risks can only be insured against if they can be so estimated.
The legal basis of all insurance is the “policy”. This is a printed form of contract. It states that in return for the regular payment by the insured of a certain sum of money, called the “premium”, which is usually paid every year, the insurer will pay a sum of money or compensation for loss, if the risk actually happens. The wording of policies, particularly in marine insurance, often seems very old-fashioned, but there is a sound reason of this. Over a large number of years, many law cases have been brought to clear up the meanings of doubtful phrases in policies. The law courts have given these phrases a definite and indisputable meaning, and to avoid future disputes the phrases have continued to be used in polices even when they have passed out of normal use in speech.
The phrase “the pool of contributions”in the first paragraph means______.A.the money paid by the insurers
B.the cost of administering insurance
C.the money paid by the insured
D.the amount of each premium答案：C解析：本题考查的是细节理解及词义替换。
【关键词】 "the pool of contribution”; in the first paragraph
【主题句】第1自然段 If these persons each put a small sum of money 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 money. This is the basis of insurance. Those who pay the contribution are known as "insured" and those who administer the pool of contributions as "insurers".如果这些人每人拿出一小笔钱来汇聚成一片汪洋，就会有足够的钱来满足少数的确遭受损失的人的需求。换言之，少数人的损失是由缴纳的钱来支付的，这是保险的基础。缴纳摊款的人被称为“被保险人”，而管理款项总额的人被称为“保险公司”。
【解析】本题的问题是“第1自然段中，短语 “the pool of contribution”（款项总额）的意思是_______”。 A选项“保险公司支付的款项”；B选项“管理保险的费用”；C选项“被保险人支付的款项”；D选项“每笔保险费的金额”。根据题目中关键词找到主题句，主题句中，短语"the pool of contribution”是使用了修辞手法，其实质就是保险费的总和，即被保险人支付的款项。故C选项正确。 -

What Makes a Soccer Player Great?
Soccer is played by millions of people all over the world,but there have only been few play-ers who were truly great.How did these players get that way—was it through training and prac- tice,or are great players“born,not made”?First,these players came from places that have had famous stars in the past-players that a young boy can look up to and try to imitate.In the history of soccer,only six countries have ever won the World Cup-three from South America and three from western Europe .There has never been a great national team-or a really great player-from North America or from Asia.Second,these players have all had years of practice in the game. Alfredo Di Stefano was the son of a soccer player,as was Pele.Most players begin playing the game at the age of three or four.
Finally,many great players come from the same kind of neighborhood—a poor,crowded area where a boy's dream is not to be a doctor,lawyer,or businessman,but to become a rich,famous athlete or entertainer. For example,Liverpool,which produced the Beetles,had one of the best
English soccer teams in recent years.Pele practiced in the street with a“ball”made of rags.And George Best learned the tricks that made him famous by bouncing the ball off a wall in the slums of Belfast.
All great players have a lot in common,but that doesn't explain why they are great. Hundreds of boys played in those Brazilian streets,but only one became Pele.The greatest play-ers are born with some unique quality that sets them apart from all the others.The author attributes a soccer player's success to all the following factors EXCEPT
A: his family background
B: his neighbourhood
C: his practice
D: his height答案：D解析：Truly great players are rare：真正棒的球员是很少的。答案在文章的第一句：全世界有许许多多人踢足球，可是踢得真正棒的球员只是极少数人。

many geat soccer players come from poor areas：许多很棒的足球球员都来自贫困地区。第二段的第一个句子说到，许多很棒的球员都来自同一种聚居区——一种贫困的、拥挤的……地区。

第7题：
Income Income may be national income and personal income. Whereas national income is defined as the total earned income of all the factors of production-namely, profits, interest, rent, wages, and other compensation for labor, personal income may be defined as total money income received by individuals before personal taxes are paid. National income does not equal GNP (Gross National Product) because the factors of production do not receive payment for either capital consumption allowances or indirect business taxes, both of which are included in GNP. The money put aside for capital consumption is for replacement and thus is not counted as income. Indirect taxes include sales taxes, property taxes , and excise taxes that are paid by businesses directly to the government and so reduce the income left to pay for the factors of production. Three-fourths of national income goes for wages, salaries, and other forms of compensation to employees. Whereas national income shows the income that the factors of production earn, personal income measures the income that individuals or households receive. Corporation profits are included in national income because they are earned. Out of these profits, however, corporation profit taxes must be paid to the government, and some money must be put into the business for expansion. Only that part of profits distributed as dividends goes to the individual; therefore, out of corporation profits only dividends count as personal income. The factors of production earn money for social security and unemployment insurance contributions, but this money goes to government (which is not a factor of production), not to individuals. It is therefore part of national income but not part of personal income. On the other hand, money received by individuals when they collect social security or unemployment compensation is not money earned but money received. Interest received on government bonds is also in this category, because much of the money received from the sale of bonds went to pay for war production and that production no longer furnishes a service to the economy. The money people receive as personal income may be either spent or saved. However, not all spending is completely voluntary. A significant portion of our income goes to pay personal taxes. Most workers never receive the money they pay in personal taxes, because it is withheld from their paychecks. The money that individuals are left with after they have met their tax obligations is disposable personal income. Disposable income can be divided between personal consumption expenditures and personal savings. It is important to remember that personal saving is what is left after spending. It can be easily seen from this passage that the government levies tax on（）
- A、corporation profits
- B、every individual even though his income is very low
- C、those who work in joint ventures
- D、those who work in government departments
正确答案:A -

单选题AThey tried to collect more money than the ruler asked for.
BThey were given some silver and gold coins by the ruler.
CThey were excused from paying income tax.
DThey enjoyed being invited to dinner at the ruler’s palace.
正确答案： C解析：
细节题。录音提到“Of course the tax collector managed to collect more money than he paid to the ruler”，可知应选A项。
【录音原文】
A friend of mine told me that when he was a young man, he went to work as a teacher in one of the states of India. One day he received an invitation to dinner at the ruler’s palace. Very pleased, he went to tell his colleagues. They laughed and told him the meaning of the invitation. They had all been invited and each person who was invited has to bring with him a certain number of silver and gold coins. The number of coins varied according to the person’s position in the service of the government. My friend’s income was not high, so he did not have much to pay. Each person bound before the ruler, his gold went onto one heap, his silver went onto another heap, and in this way he paid his income tax for the year. This was a simple way of collecting income tax. The tax on property was also collected simply: The ruler gave a man the power to collect a tax from each owner of land or property in a certain area if this man promised to pay the ruler a certain amount of money. Of course the tax collector managed to collect more money than he paid to the ruler. The difference between the sum of money he collected and the sum of money he gave to the ruler was his profit.
Questions 1 to 3 are based on the passage you have just heard.
1. What do we know about the speaker’s friend?
2. What was the real purpose of the ruler’s invitation?
3. What does the passage say about the tax collectors? -

问答题Practice 1 Between persons of equal income there is no social distinction except the distinction of merit. There in the world would be great people and ordinary people and little people, but the great would always be those who had done great things, and never the fools whose mothers had spoiled them and whose fathers had left them a hundred thousand a year, and the little would be persons of small minds and mean characters, and not poor persons who had never had a chance. That is why fools are always in favor of inequality of income (their only chance of eminence), and the really great in favor of equality.正确答案：
