Nearly everyone is exposed to risk of some sort. The house owner, for example, knows that his
9、 property can be damaged by fire; the ship-owner knows that his ships may be lost at sea; the breadwinner knows that he may die at an early age and leave his family poorer. On the other hand, not every house is damaged by fire nor every ship is lost at sea. If these persons each put a small sum into
10、 a pool, there will be enough to meet the needs of the few who do suffer losses. 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 administer the pool of contributions as
11、 insurers. The legal basis of all insurance is the policy. This is a printed form of contract on a piece of paper in best quality. It states that every year the insured shall pay a named sum of money, which is called the premium; in return, the insurer will pay a sum of money or compensation for los
12、s 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 will be more competition in their area of insurance and they may lose busine
13、ss. On the other hand, if they 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).By “the pool of contributions” (Para. 1) the w
14、riter means_. (分数:2.00)A.money paid by the insurersB.the amount of each premiumC.money paid by all those insuredD.the cost of administering insurance(2).A policy is _.

(分数:A.not many people insure themselvesB.premiums depend on the risk of lossC.insurers have to be more competitiveD.insurance companies can never lose money(4).According to the passage, insurance business is profitable because _. (分数:A.nearly everyone suffers los
16、sesB.only insured people suffer lossesC.everyone at some time suffers lossesD.only a few of those insured suffer losses(5).The purpose of the passage is _. (分数:A.to define an insurance policyB.to introduce insurance businessC.to persuade people to be insuredD.to warn people of possible lossesPassage
17、 2 One evening I went out and left my 17-year-old son in charge of his 8-year-old brother and 4-year-old sister. On this occasion, the chore was made less troublesome by the presence of his girlfriend. I left with complete confidence that the older children would do a wonderful job of babysitting th
18、e younger children and the younger children would do a wonderful job of accompanying the older ones. Later, I discovered that complete confidence was the last thing I should have left home with.
