Yet some people know little about it and some even misunderstand its nature and function.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 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 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 thecontribution are known as insured and those who administer the pool of contributions as 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 loss 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 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.16. The underlined phrase in Para. 2 most probably means ______.A. money paid by the insurersB. the amount of each premiumC. money paid by all those insuredD. the cost of administering insurance17. Insurance premiums do not become too high because ______.A. not many people insure themselvesB. premiums depend on the risk of lossC. insurers have to be more competitiveD. insurance companies can never lose money18. According to the passage, insurance business gains profit because ______.A. more and more people buy insuranceB. the firms have a soundmanagementC. premium is increased year by yearD. only a few of those insured sufferlosses19. The purpose of the passage is ______.A. to explain an insurance policyB. to introduce insurance businessC. to persuade people to be insuredD. to warn people of possible lossesBShortly after the war, my brother and I were invited to spend a few days with an uncle who had just returned from abroad. He had rented a cottage in the country, although he rarely spent much time there. We understood the reason for this after our arrival: the cottage 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 which our uncle 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 once 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!” exclaimed my uncle, with a loud laugh.When we got to the top of the stairs and opened the bedroom door, we could see nothing at first because of the thick clouds of dust which filled the room. When the dust began to clear, a strange sight met our eyes. A large part of the ceiling（天花板）had collapsed, 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 to the sitting room downstairs, not wishing to risk our lives by sleeping under a roof which might at any moment collapse（倒塌）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!20. The uncle seldom spent much time in the country cottage because ______.A. the roof of the cottage was fallingB. the cottage was in a bad conditionC. he was used to living abroadD. there was no furniture in it21. When they opened the bedroom door, they could see nothing at first because ______.A. it was completely dark insideB. dust was blown into their eyesC. something strange blinded themD. there was too much dust in the air22. The narrator felt glad that he had stayed up late because ______.A. he did not miss the exciting storiesB. he spent more time with his uncleC. he had a lucky escapeD. he saw a strange sight23. Which of the following can best describe the narrator’s uncle?A. Adventurous and good at storytelling.B. Humorous and good at making jokes.C. Dependable and generous with money.D. Considerate and sensitive to danger.COur success, satisfaction and general happiness in life is not dependent on what happens to us but how we deal with it.You will probably know yourself from personal experience what a difference your attitude can make when, for example, you’re returning faulty goods or making a complaint. An open, polite and friendly approach, expecting a satisfactory result, normally results in one as people tend to respond with a similar attitude. If, however, you present an argument with an angry, accusing tone, expecting trouble, there is little doubt that this is what you’ll get!Some people see the world through a filter of optimism and some through a filter of pessimism which largely comes down to having a positive or negative attitude. People who are suffering from a negative attitude primarily think that something can’t be done; they dwell on problems, see all the pitfalls, find fault with and criticize other people and focus on all the things they would like but haven’t got. People blessed with a positive attitude by contrast think that anything is possible, they look for solutions, they see the good in everybody, and they are grateful for all the good things in their lives.Whether suffering from or blessed with your attitude, this is not something that is put on us from the outside. We are very much responsible for our own attitude. We all start out with a “clean” board but this can get muddied by our experiences in life. As children we get ridiculed and bullied, criticized and rejected,start to experience doubt and lose our self-confidence. If this continues into adulthood, it can result in a bad attitude in later life.24. It can be inferred from Paragraph 2 that people are likely to treat others ______.A. the way they are treatedB. better when they are satisfiedC. worse when they are in troubleD. the way they consider appropriate25. According to the writer, what affects people’s life attitude?A. the situation they faceB. the people around themC. their expectations of lifeD. the way they view the world26. What is the purpose of the writer in writing this passage?A. to show how to avoid a negative attitudeB. to show the importance of a positive attitudeC. to share his positive attitude with his readersD. to describe the effects of a negative attitude三、七选五（每题2分，共5道题，满分10分）。

Use specific examples or scenarios to support your ideas.My Vision for the Future of EducationIn envisioning the future of education, I picture a landscape where learning transcends traditional boundaries, embracing technology, fosteringcreativity, and nurturing individuality. This vision is rooted in the belief that education should not merely equip students with factual knowledge but inspire them to become lifelong learners, critical thinkers, and active contributors to society.At the heart of this vision lies the integration of technology. Imagine classrooms equipped with smart boards, augmented reality tools, andartificial intelligence-powered assistants, making lessons come alive through immersive experiences. Virtual field trips to the depths of the ocean or the far reaches of space become possible, bridging the gap between theory and practice. Moreover, personalized learning platforms adjustcurricula based on each student’s pace, strengths, and interests, ensuring no one falls behind or feels bored.The role of teachers evolves, shifting from mere dispensers of information to facilitators of inquiry and guides of self-discovery. They encourage critical thinking, fostering environments where students question assumptions, collaborate on projects, and innovate solutions. This shift necessitates continuous professional development for educators, ensuring they stay abreast of the latest educational research and technology.In this future education system, the emphasis is on holistic development. Students learn not just science, math, and literature but also emotional intelligence, empathy, and social skills. Programs promoting mental health, resilience, and global citizenship become integral parts of the curriculum. Through service learning projects and international exchanges, students develop a sense of responsibility towards their communities and the world beyond.Ultimately, the goal of education in this vision is to nurture individuals who can navigate an increasingly complex and interconnected world. Graduates will possess the adaptability, creativity, and ethical compass necessary to tackle the challenges of tomorrow, from climate change to technological disruptions. They will be equipped to innovate, collaborate, and lead, shaping a future society that is more equitable, sustainable, and prosperous.Example Paragraph for Inspiration:In my vision, students engage in interdisciplinary projects that merge art, science, and technology. For instance, a group of high schoolers might design a sustainable community powered by renewable energy, where they use coding skills to optimize energy distribution and collaborate with artists to create public murals depicting the beauty of nature and the importance of conservation. This not only teaches technical skills but also fosters creativity, teamwork, and a deep appreciation for the environment.This essay outlines a vision for the future of education that is forward-thinking, inclusive, and focused on nurturing well-rounded individuals capable of positively impacting society.。

We need to find out what is the problem.Answer: B, C (Note: However, C has a minor issue with the use of “since” without a time period specified, but it is considered correct compared to the other options.)Explanation: B is a grammatically correct sentence with proper usage of “eager to”. C, while not fully precise (ideally it should be “since he was five years old”), is considered acceptable in informal speech. A should use “recommend that the student studies harder” (with subjunctive mood) or “recommended the student study harder” (without “to”). D has a word order issue and should be “We need to find out what the problem is.”Question 4:Which of the following best describe the function of a cell phone? (Select two answers)A. A tool for navigationB. A source of entertainmentC. A device for measuring temperatureD. A method of communicationAnswer: A, DExplanation: Cell phones are primarily used for navigation (A) and communication (D). They can also provide entertainment (B), but that is not their primary function. C is incorrect as cell phones are not designed to measure temperature.Question 5:Which of the foll owing are correct definitions of “resilience”? (Select two answers)A. The ability to recover quickly from difficulties.B. A person’s physical strength.C. A type of plant that grows in harsh environments.D. The quality of being able to adapt to changing conditions.Answer: A, DExplanation: “Resilience” refers to the ability to recover quickly from difficulties or adapt to changing conditions (A, D). B describes physical strength, which is not the definition of “resilience.” C describes a plant characteristic, not the word “resilience.”四、阅读理解（每题4分）Title: The Power of PerseverancePerseverance is the ability to continue doing something in spite of difficulties or failures.

Federer’s journey to the top was not without challenges. He faced numerous defeats and setbacks in his early career, but he never gave up. His perseverance and dedication to the sport allowed him to transform his weaknesses into strengths and eventually become one of the greatest tennis players in history.Similarly, in the field of entrepreneurship, perseverance is essential for overcoming obstacles and achieving success. Many successful entrepreneurs have faced rejection, failure, and even financial ruin, but they have persevered and eventually achieved their goals. Their resilience and determination have been the key to their success.The same can be said for students pursuing their academic goals. Perseverance is crucial for overcoming the challenges of studying, whether it’s mastering a difficult subj ect or preparing for a competitive exam. By persevering, students can develop their abilities, gain confidence, and ultimately achieve their academic dreams.In conclusion, perseverance is a powerful tool that can help us achieve our goals, both big and small. It is a trait that we can cultivate and strengthen through practice and dedication. By persevering, we can transform our weaknesses into strengths, overcome obstacles, and achieve the success we desire.Questions:1.What is perseverance according to the passage?

You should include your personal experience or an example to support your view.Example Essay:In the pursuit of our goals, perseverance is often the key ingredient that separates success from failure. It is the relentless effort and unwavering dedication that allow us to overcome obstacles and ultimately reach our desired destination.I have witnessed the power of perseverance in my own life. When I decided to take up piano lessons, I encountered numerous challenges. The complexity of the instrument and the demands of regular practice often left me feeling discouraged. However, it was my perseverance that kept me going. With every mistake, I learned a lesson, and with every hour of practice, I grew stronger. Over time, I was able to play my favorite pieces with ease, and the sense of accomplishment was immeasurable.The same principle applies to all areas of life. Whether it is achieving academic excellence, building a successful career, or overcoming personal challenges, perseverance is the cornerstone of success. It is the ability to stay focused, despite obstacles, and to keep moving forward, one step at a time. Therefore, I firmly believe that perseverance is essential in achieving our goals and fulfilling our dreams.。

AAfter two years of careful consideration, Robert McCrum has reached a conclusion on his selection of the 100 greatest novels written in English. Take a look at a few in his list.The Pilgrim’s Progress by John Bunyan (1678)A story of a man in search of truth told with the simple clarity and beauty of Bunyan's prose makes this the English classic.Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe (1719)By the end of the 19th century, no book in English literary history had enjoyed more editions and translations. This world-famous novel is a complex literature that one cannot resist. Gulliver’s Travels by Jonathan Swift (1726)A great work tha t’s been repeatedly printed, Jonathan Swift’s Gulliver’s Travels comes third in our list of the best novels written in English.Clarissa by Samuel Richardson (1748)Clarissa is a tragic heroine, pressured by her dishonorable family to marry a wealthy man she dislikes, in the book that Samuel Johnson described as “the first book in the world that shows the knowledge about the human heart.”Tom Jones by Henry Fielding (1749)Tom Jones is a classic English novel that gets the spirit of its age and whose characters are well-known since they have come to represent the society at that time.Emma by Jane Austen (1816)Jane Austen's Emma is her most outstanding work, mixing the best parts of her early books with a deep sense of feelings.The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket by Edgar Allan Poe (1838)Edgar Allan Poe’s only novel - a classic adventure story with supernatural elements - has fascinated and influenced generations of writers.1.

Your lives are busy enough doing homework, playing sports, making friends, seeking after your dreams. But we do think that you can live a more powerful life when you devote some of your time and energy to something much larger than yourself. Find an issue you are interested in and learn more. Volunteer or, if you can, contribute a little money to a cause. Whatever you do, don’t be a bystander. Get involved. You may have the opportunity to make your biggest difference when you’re older. But why not start nowOur own experience working together on health, development, and energy the last twenty years has been one of the most rewarding parts of our lives. It has changed who we are andcontinues to fuel our optimism about how much the lives of the poorest people will improve in the years ahead.4. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 refer to .A. Your life style.B. Your life value.C. Your trouble in life.D. Your life experience.5. Why does the author say they are inspired every day?A. They possess different kinds of superpowers.B.

Trying your best to help the poor.7. What can be inferred from the last paragraphA. The author believes the lives of the poorest will get better.B. Much more progress will be made in the near future.C. The work on health is the most valuable experience.D. People’s efforts have been mate rially rewarded.CIt was Mother’s Day morning last year and I was doing my shopping at our local supermarket with my five-year-old son, Tenyson. As we were leaving, we found that only minutes earlier an elderly woman had fallen over at the entrance and had hit her head on the concrete. Her husband was with her, but there was blood everywhere and the woman was embarrassed and clearly in shock.Walking towards the scene, Tenyson became very upset about what had happened to the couple. He said to me, “Mum, it’s not much fun falling over in front of everyone.”At the front of the supermarket a charity group had set up a stand selling cooked sausages(香肠) and flowers to raise funds. Tenyson suggested that we should buy the lady a flower. “It will make herfeel better,” he said. I was amazed that he’d come up with such a sweet idea. So we went over to the flower seller and asked her if we could buy a flower for the lady to cheer her up. “Just take it,” she replied. “I can’t take your money for such a wonderful gesture.”By now paramedics（救援人员）had arrived, and were attending the injured woman. As we walked up to her, my son became intimidated by all the blood and medical equipment. He said he was just too scared to go up to her.Instead I gave the f lower to the woman’s husband and told him, “ My son was very upset for your wife and wanted to give her this flower to make her feel better.”At that, the old man started crying and said, “Thank you so much, you have a wonderful son. Happy Mother’s Day to you.”The man then bent down and gave his wife the flower, telling her who it was from. Though badly hurt and shaken, the old lady looked up at Tenyson with love in her eyes and gave him a little smile.8. What dose the author intend to tell us?A. One can never be too careful.B. Actions speak louder than words.C. Love begins with a little smile.D. A small act of kindness brings a great joy.9. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. The elderly woman was knocked down by Tenyson.B. Tenyson’s idea of buying a flower gained his mother’s support.C. Tenyson’s care for the elderly woman puzzled the flower seller.D. The elderly woman was moved to tears by Tenyson’s gesture.10. The underlined word “intimidated” in the fourth paragraph probably means “___________”.A. astonishedB. struckC. frightenedD. excited11. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Flower PowerB. Mother’s DayC. An Accidental InjuryD. An Embarrassing MomentDDo you sometimes argue about what seems to you to be a simple fact? Do you argue whether it’s cold outdoors or whether the car in front of you is going faster than the speed limit (限速)?If you get into such arguments, try to think about the story about the six blind men and theelephant. The first blind man who felt the elephant’s trunk (象鼻) said it was like a snake. The second who felt the elephant’s side said it was like a wall, while the third said it was like a spear(矛) as he touched the animal’s tusk. The fourth, who took hold of the elephant’s tail insisted that it was like a rope. The fifth man said it looked like a tree as he put his arms around one of the elephant’s legs. The last, who was tall and got hold of the elep hant’s ears, said it was like a huge fan.Each man’s idea of the animal came from his own experience. So if someone disagrees with you about a “simple fact”, it’s often because his experience in the matter is different from yours.To see how hard it is for even one person to make up his mind about a “simple fact”, try this simple experiment. Get three large bowls. Put ice water in one. Put hot water in the second. Put lukewarm water (温水)in the third. Now put your left hand in the hot water. Put your right hand in the lukewarm water. Your right hand will tell you the water is cold. Your left hand will tell you it is hot.12. The man who touched the elephant’s ears must be very_______.A. heavyB. thinC. tallD. strong13. The underlined word “it” in the last line of the paragraph refers to _______.A. your left handB. your right handC. the waterD. the bowl14. What makes people think about simple facts differently?A. People’s wrong ideas.B. People’s different experience.C. Simple facts are different sometimes.D. People often disagree with each other.15. It can be inferred from the passage that we should__________.A. learn from the blind menB. not agree about simple factsC. never think about simple factsD. never decide anything with one side第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Many peop le feel this way after lunch. They may think that eating lunch is the cause o f the sleepiness. Or, in summer, they may think it is the heat. However, ther eal reason lies inside their bodies. At that time –about eight hours after y ouwake up – your body temperature goes down. This is what makes you slow dow n and feel sleepy.Scientists have tested sleep habits in experiments where th ere was no night or day. The people in these experiments almost always followed a similar sleeping pattern. They slept for one long period and then for one short period about eight hours later.In many parts of the world, people take naps(小睡) in the middle of the da y. This is especially true in warmer climates(气候), where the heat makes wor k difficult in the early afternoon.Researchers are now saying that naps are g ood for everyone in any climate.A daily nap gives one a more rested bodyand m ind and therefore is good for health in general.In countries where napsare traditional (传统的), people often suffer less from problems such as hear tdisease.Many working people, unfortunately, have no time to take naps. Though doctors may advise taking naps, employers do not allow it! If you do have the chance, however, here are a few tips about making the most of your nap.Re member that the best time to take a nap is about eight hours after you getup.A short sleep too late in the day may only make you feel more tired andsleepy afterward. This can also happen if you sleep for too long. If you do not have enough time, try a short nap – even ten minutes of sleep can be helpful.43.If you get up at 6:30 am, what is the best time for you to take a nap?A. About 12:30 pm.B. Ab out 2:30 pmC. About 1:30 pm.D. A bout 3:30 pm44.What advice does the writer give on taking a nap?A.You’d better take a nap about an hour after you have lunch.B.You can sleep as long as you like so that you will not feel tied or sleepy.C. Only people in warmer climate need to take a nap.D. If your time is limited, a short nap can also help.45.Naps are good for everyone in any climate because ______________ .A.a nap makes both your body and mind have a good rest.B.a daily nap benefits your health.C.people who often take naps suffer less from problems such as heart disease than those who don’t.D. All the above.46.What would be the best title for the text?A. Just for a RestB. All for a NapC. A Special Sleep Pattern.D. Taking Naps in Warmer Climate.DI am a good mother to three children. I have tried never to let my professi on stand in the way of being a good parent.I no longer consider myself the center of the universe. I show up.I listen.I try to laugh. I am a good friend to my husband. I have tried to make marriage vows(誓约) mean what they say. I am a good friend to my friends, and they to me. Without them, there would be nothing to say to you today.So here 's what I wanted to tell you today:Get a life.A real life, not a desire of th e next promotion(提升), the bigger paycheck, the larger house.Get a life in w hich you are not alone. Find people you love, and who love you. And remember that love is not leisure(空闲),it is work. Pick up the phone.Send ane-mail.W rite a letter. And realize that life is the best thing and that you have no b usiness taking it for granted.It is so easy to waste our lives, our days, our hours,our minutes.It is so easy to exist instead of to live.I learned to live many years ago.
