Reading Comprehension(20 points,2 points for each)
从下列每篇短文的问题后所给的四个选择项中选出一个最佳答案，并写在答题纸相应的位置
上。
Passage One
Questions 21 to 23 are based on the following passage.
Insurance is the sharing of risks.Nearly everybody is exposed to 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 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 into a pool(
集合资金
),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.
The premium for an insurance naturally depends upon how likely the risk is to happen,as suggested by past experience.If companies fix their premium too high,there will be more competition in the branch of insurance and they may lose business.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.
21.According to the writer,insurance is possible because _______.
A. everyone at some time suffers loss
B. only a small proportion of the insured suffer loss
C. nearly everyone suffers loss
D. only insured people suffer loss
22.The word
“
premium"(in Paragraph 2) means _______.
A. the pool that the insurance buyers put their money into
B. the amount of money the insurance company pays to the insured
C. the amount of money that the insured should pay to the company
D. the amount of money that is caused by the risk
23.Which of the following statements is true according to the article?
A. Not all people can buy insurance policies.
B. Risks of all kinds can be covered by insurance.
C. There is intense competition among insurance companies.
D. Insurance companies do not know how likely the risks are to happen.
Passage Two
Questions 24 to 26 are based on the following passage.
It is difficult to imagine what life would be like without memory.The meanings of thousands of everyday perceptions(
感知
),the basis for the decisions we make,and the roots of our habits and skills are to be found in our past experiences.And these experiences are brought into the present by memory.
Memory can be defined as the capacity to keep information available for later use.It includes not only
“
remembering" things like words and historical facts,but also involves any change in the way an animal typically behaves.Memory is involved when a rat gives up eating grain because he has smelled something suspicious(
可疑的
) in the grain pile.Memory is also involved when a six
year old child learns to hit a baseball.
Memory exists not only in humans and animals but also in some physical objects and machines.Computers,for example,contain devices for storing data for later use.It is interesting to compare the memory-storage(
贮藏
) capacity of a computer with that of a human being.The instant
access memory of a large computer may hold up to 100 000
“
words"
－
ready for instant use.An average U.S. teenager probably recognizes the meaning of about 100 000 words of English.However,this is but a small amount of the information which the teenager has stored.Consider,for example,the number of faces and places that the teenager can recognize at sight.
24.According to the passage,memory is considered to be _______.
A. the basis for decision making
B. an ability to store experiences for future use
C. the roots of our habits and skills
D. a capacity typically possessed by human beings
25.The comparison made between the memory capacity of a large computer and that of a human being shows that _______.
A. memory exists not only in humans but also in some machines
B. the computer's memory capacity is smaller than a human being's
C. a teenager's memory is as big as a computer's
D. the computer's memory capacity is much smaller even than a teenager's
26.The topic of the passage is _______.
A. what life would be like without memory
B. memory is of vital importance to life
C. how a person's memory is different from an animal's or a computer's
D. what is contained in memory
Passage Three
Questions 27 to 30 are based on the following passage.
Your mind like your body is a thing where powers are developed by effort.This is a major use,as I see it,of hard work in studies.Unless you train your body you can't be a good sportsman,and unless you train your mind you can't be much of a scholar(
学者
).The four miles a boatman covers at top speed is in itself nothing to the good,but the physical effort to persist over the distance is thought to be of some value.So a good part of what you learn by hard study may not be kept forever,any may not seem to be of much final value,but your mind is a better and more powerful tool because you have learned it.
“
Knowledge is power",but still more the ability to acquire and use knowledge is power.If you have a trained and powerful mind,you are bound to have stored it with something.Its value is more in what it can do,what it can understand and use,than in the knowledge you stored in it in college.With a trained mind and nothing useful left in it,you wou
ld still be ahead,and still,in a sense,educated.
27.Which of the following best expresses the main idea of this passage?
A. Knowledge Is Power
B. How to Keep and Use Knowledge
C. Physical and Mental Efforts
D. The Trained Mind Is What One Needs
28.The author emphasizes that many of the facts you acquire by hard study ______.
A. deal with rules of health
B. will be forgotten
C. are of no value
D. will be very useful
29.The man leaving college with a trained mind _______.
A. is certain to succeed
B. is successful in his studies
C. is considered an educated person
D. can deal with any problem
30.In this passage,the author is _______.
A. describing college education
B. criticizing the present college education
C. giving his advice to college students
D. explaining why knowledge is power
