He rented a cottage in the country, although he rarely spent much time there. The cottage, however, had no comfortable furniture in it, many of the windows were broken and the roof leaked, making the whole house damp. On our first evening, we sat around the fire after supper listening to the stories our uncle had had to tell of his many adventures in distant countries. I was so tired after the long train journey that I would have preferred to go to bed, but I could not bear to miss any of my uncle's exciting tales. He was just in the middle of describing a rather terrifying experience he had, when there was a loud crash from the bedroom above, the one where my brother and I were going to sleep. "It sounds as if the roof has fallen in!" shouted my uncle, with a loud laugh. When we got to the top of the stairs and opened the bedroom door, a strange sight met our eyes. A large part of the ceiling had collapsed (坍塌), falling right on to the pillow of my bed. I was glad that I had stayed up late to listen to my uncle's stories, otherwise I should certainly have been seriously injured, perhaps killed. That night we all slept on the floor of the sitting room downstairs not wishing to risk our lives by sleeping under a roof which might at any moment collapse on our heads. We left for London the very next morning and my uncle gave up his cottage in the country. This was not the kind of adventure he cared for, either! What does the writer say about his uncle during the war? A He had a lot of adventures. B He fought as a soldier. C He made a lot of money.

Nearly everyone is exposed to risks 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 father 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, not 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 contributions of the many. This is the basis of insurance. Those who pay the contributions are known as "insured" and those who control the pool of contributions as "insurers". Not all risks lend themselves to being covered by insurance. Broadly speaking, the ordinary risks of business cannot be covered. The risk that buyers will not buy goods at the prices offered is not a kind that can be estimated in numbers and risks can only be insured against if they can be estimated. The legal basis of all insurance is the "policy". This is a printed form of contract on thick paper of the best quality. It states that in return for 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 for loss, if the risk or event insured against actually happens. Why does the writer mention the father in the passage? A The writer uses the father as an example to illustrate his point. B The writer believes the father knows better than the mother. C The writer wants to persuade the father to buy insurance. D The writer wishes to set an example for fathers. 【正确答案】：A 【本题分数】：2.0分 【答案解析】 文章第一段作者举了多个例子来阐明他的观点：每个人都面临着某种风险。父亲的例子是其中之一。 第7题 Which of the following can be covered by insurance? A All risks of business. B All houses damaged by fire. C Goods with clearly marked prices. D Things whose values can be estimated. 【正确答案】：D 【本题分数】：2.0分 【答案解析】 从文中第二段可知，只有可以估价的东西才可以投保。 第8题 What do insurers firmly believe? A No one can avoid any risks. B People don't like to spend their money. C Almost all people trust insurance. D Most people like to help others. 【正确答案】：A 【本题分数】：2.0分 【答案解析】 投保人坚信人人都面临着某种风险，因此才会来参保。 第9题 What does "premium" (Para. 3) most probably mean in the passage? A The money paid for the loss. B The contribution of insurers. C The money paid by the insured. D A printed form of contract. 【正确答案】：C 【本题分数】：2.0分 【答案解析】 premium指的是投保者所支付的保险费。 第10题 What is the main idea of the passage? A Insurance is a way of sharing risks among people. B Only a few people suffer loss in their daily life. C Insurance is not worth buying. D Insurance has a solid legal basis. 【正确答案】：A 【本题分数】：2.0分 【答案解析】 文章的第一段第一句表明了本文的大意。 第11题 Be careful of those who use the truth to deceive (欺骗). When someone tells you something that is true, but leaves out important information that should be included, he can create a false impression. For example, someone might say, "I just won a hundred dollars on the lottery (抽彩给奖法). It was great. I took that dollar ticket back to the store and turned it in for one hundred dollars!" This guy's a winner, right? Maybe, maybe not. We then discover that he bought two hundred tickets, and only one was a winner. He's really a big loser! He didn't say anything that was false, but he omitted important information on purpose. That's called a half-truth. Half-truths are not technically lies, but they are just as dishonest. Dishonest politicians often use this method. Let's say that during Governor Smith's last term, her state lost one million jobs and gained three million jobs. Then she seeks another term. One of the politicians opposing her runs an ad saying, "During Governor Smith's term, the state lost one million jobs!" That's true. However an honest statement would have been, "During Governor Smith's term, the state had a net gain of two million jobs." Advertisers will sometimes use half-truths. It's against the law to make false claims, so they try to mislead you with the truth. An ad might claim, "Nine out of ten doctors recommend Yucky Pills to cure nose pimples (丘疹)." It fails to mention that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Yucky Company. This kind of deception happens too often. It's a sad fact of life. Lies are lies, and sometimes the truth can lie as well. What does the writer want to tell us with the example of the lottery winner? A People lose a lot of money in buying lottery tickets. B Lottery makes its buyers dishonest. C He was lucky to win the lottery. D He did not tell the whole truth. 【正确答案】：A 【本题分数】：2.0分 【答案解析】 说明他没说出全部事实。 第12题 What does the passage imply about Governor Smith? A She created more job opportunities than ever before. B She was opposed by many people in her state. C She did a good job in her last term. D She was the most honest politician. 【正确答案】：D 【本题分数】：2.0分 【答案解析】 从文中第二段中列举出的数字可以看出她在上一任中做得很出色。 第13题 What does the writer mainly say about half-truths? A They are false claims. B They are popular with people. C They are nothing but lies. D They are as dishonest as lies. 【正确答案】：D 【本题分数】：2.0分 【答案解析】 部分真相有意误导听众，因此与谎言一样不诚实。 第14题 What is the writer's attitude toward half-truths? A Doubtful. B Negative. C Neutral. D Positive. 【正确答案】：B 【本题分数】：2.0分 【答案解析】 从作者的用词(如最后一段中的sad)可以看出作者对部分真相持否定态度。 第15题 What does the word "mislead" (Para. 3) most likely mean in the passage? A Mistake. B Inform. C Cheat. D Guide. 【正确答案】：C 【本题分数】：2.0分 【答案解析】 从第三段上下文可以推断出该词与cheat词义相近。 二、Vocabulary and Structure（本大题40小题．每题0.5分，共20.0分。In this part, there are 40 incomplete sentences.

A country's standard of living, therefore, depends first and foremost (最重要地) on its capacity to produce wealth. (1)"Wealth" in this sense is not money, for we do not live on money but on things that money can buy: "goods" such as food and clothing, and "services" such as transport and entertainment. (2)A country's capacity to produce wealth depends upon many factors, most of which have an effect on one another. Wealth depends to a great extent upon a country's natural resources, such as coal, gold, and other minerals, water supply and so on. (3)Next to natural resources comes the ability to turn them to use. China is, perhaps as well as the U. S. A. , rich in natural resources, but suffered for many years from civil and external wars, and for this and other reasons was unable to develop her resources. Sound and stable political conditions, and freedom from foreign invasion, enable a country to develop its natural resources peacefully and steadily, and to produce more wealth than another country equally well served by nature but less well ordered. (4)Another important factor is the technical efficiency of a country's people. Old countries that have, through many centuries, trained up numerous skilled craftsmen (工匠) and technicians are better placed to produce wealth than countries whose workers are largely unskilled. Wealth also produces wealth. (5)As a country becomes wealthier, its people have a large margin (余地) for saving, and can put their savings into factories and machines which will help workers to turn out more goods in their working days. "Wealth" in this sense is not money, for we do not live on money but on things that money can buy: 【正确答案】： 答案: 从这个意义上来讲，“财富”不是钱，因为我们不是靠钱维持生命，而是靠用钱买来的东西维持生命。 第2题 A country's capacity to produce wealth depends upon many factors, most of which have an effect on one another. 【正确答案】： 答案: 一个国家生产财富的能力取决于多种因素，这些因素中的大多数都互相影响。 第3题 Next to natural resources comes the ability to turn them to use. 【正确答案】： 答案: 仅次于自然资源的是将这些自然资源投入使用的能力。 第4题 Another important factor is the technical efficiency of a country's people. 【正确答案】： 答案: 另一个重要的因素是一个国家的人民(国人)的技术效率。 第5题 As a country becomes wealthier, its people have a large margin for saving, and can put their savings into factories and machines which will help workers to turn out more goods in their working days. 【正确答案】： 答案: 随着一个国家的日益富裕，其国人有较大的存款余地(就可以有多余的钱去储蓄)，可以把他们的存款投入工厂、机器，从而使得工人们能够在其工作日中生产出更多的产品(物品)。 五、Chinese to English（本大题5小题．每题3.0分，共15.0分。In this part there are five sentences in Chinese.
