Fill each gap with the best answer from the four choices marked A, B, C and D, and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center. Insurance is a device that has been developed to handle risks. Nearly everyone 31 risk of some sort. The houseowner, for example, knows that his property can be damaged by fire; the shipowner knows that his vessel may be lost at sea; the breadwinner knows that he may die 32 and leave his family the poorer. On the other hand, not every house is damaged by fire, not every vessel lost at sea. If these persons each put a small 33 into a pool, there will be enough to meet the needs of 34 who do suffer loss. 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 contributions are known as the 35 and those who administer the pool of contributions as insurers. The legal basis of all insurance is the policy. It states that in return for the regular payment by the insured of a named sum of money, called the premium, which is usually paid every year, the insurer will pay a sum of money or 36 for loss, if the risk or event insured against actually happens. The premium for an insurance naturally depends on how likely this is to happen, as suggested by past experience. If companies 37 their premiums too high, there will be more competition in their branch of insurance and they may lose business. 38 , if they make their premiums too low, they will lose money and may even have to drop 39 business.

Dear Ms. Jean, I am writing about the order for the clothes you placed with us three months ago and your letter of enquiry relating to it. We are very sorry that we are having difficulty with the supplies of some of the clothes partly because of the strike here for the moment. It would be helpful if you would confirm receipt of the first package of Men’s Jackets and Men’s Jeans. We have not yet received payment for these clothes, so we enclose a copy of the invoice with this letter. We expect to receive payment in full before the end of the month. We are having problems in supplying both Women’s Sweaters and Women’s Jeans. The former are completely out of stock at all our suppliers, so we have cancelled the order and advise you to order at a later date.

Women’s Jackets have been dispatched to you and they will be with you within ten days. Please make the payment for it before the end of next month. The other two kinds of children’s clothes are very popular. However, our usual suppliers are unable to meet this demand, so we have to find another supplier for these clothes.

Choose the best answer for each statement or question from the four choices marked A, B, C and D, and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center. Passage One Leading German company Bosch Group announced on Friday its ambitious recruitment plan to hire 4,000 more workers in China in the coming two years. It also plans to invest a total of some 650 million euros (US$781.62 million) in China from last year to 2007. By 2004, Bosch had invested about 550 million euros (US$661.37 million) in the establishment and expansion of its Chinese activities. Under the recruitment plan, Bosch will increase the number of its employees on the Chinese mainland from the present 14,000 to 18,000 by 2007. “Over the next two years, we shall be hiring not less than 1,000 additional associates in our Diesel Systems division, 2,200 in Power Tools, and 600 at Bosch Rexroth. In other words, 170 associates will join our companies in China every month,” said Franz Fehrenbach, chairman of the board of management at Bosch (China) Investment Ltd. To help realize its goal of pursuing sustainable development through talent localization in China, Bosch launched a new graduate management training programme in the country earlier this year. The new programme is designed to build up the future management team of the company in China. Among tens of thousands of applicants, the first group of 44 graduates from Chinese universities has been selected. Beginning this year, they will start a one-year training programme at Bosch’s facilities in China before they are sent to Bosch’s facilities in Germany where they will work for two years on a variety of challenging projects. “As a company committed to the Chinese market and the development of its local industries, Bosch pursues sustainable development in China through the localization of technology and talents,” said Peter Pang, president of Bosch (China) Investment Ltd. “In order to build strong local management, engineering and research teams in China, Bosch is committed to train and to develop Chinese students and professionals.” “In the long term, growth in China can only succeed with highly qualified and motivated staff from within China itself,” said Fehrenbach. The graduate management training programme is the newest initiative under Bosch’s International Development Programme (IDP) in China. Bosch said it regards its 250,000 employees around the world as the most important asset of the company. In addition to the education of graduates, IDP has, over the past few years, helped to train many talented young Chinese professionals who already have two to three years of work experience. They were sent to Germany for a two-year programme soon after they were recruited by Bosch in China. For current employees, short-term foreign assignment opportunities are widely available. Bosch Automotive Diesel Systems, one of Bosch’s business units, has sent more than 80 Chinese employees to Germany for training since it was established in Wuxi in 2004. A global manufacturer of automotive and industrial technology, consumer goods, and building PDF 文件使用 "pdfFactory Pro" 试用版本创建 www.fineprint.cn 11 technology, Bosch founded its first trading office in China in 1909. In 1926, the first car service workshop opened in Shanghai. Today, all of the Bosch business sectors are present in China. The company operates via a holding company in Shanghai, 13 subsidiaries, six joint ventures, and six trading companies. 51. What’s the possible title of the passage? A. Bosch’s Investment in China B.
