本部分有两篇短文，每篇短文后有五个问题，每个问题有四个供选择的答案。请选择一个最佳答案。
Passage 1
In Europe many people died during the Second World War. As a result, at the end of the war there were many orphans there. A man called Hermann Gmeiner wanted to help these children. His idea was simple. He wanted orphans to have a home. And he wanted them to have the care and kindness of parents. Gmeiner asked people to give him some money. With this money he built the first SOS Children's Village at Imst, in Austria. It opened in 1949, This is how the SOS Children's Villages started. The letters SOS stand for ″Save Our Souls″. This means ″Please help us!″ An SOS Children's Village gives help to orphans.
Hermann Gmeiner's idea for helping orphans soon spread all over the world. By 1983 there were 170 SOS Children's Villages in the world. People in many countries give money to help the villages. Today the children from the first villages are grown up. Now some of them work in other SOS Children's Villages.
In SOS villages orphans live in family groups. There are several houses in each village. The biggest villages have 40 or 50 houses! Between seven and ten children live in a house. A woman lives with each group of children and looks after them. She gives the children a lot of love and kindness. She cooks for them and makes a comfortable, happy home for them.
Of course, the children don't spend all their time in the village. They go to school, they go out with their friends and they go into town. But the village gives them a home — sometimes for the first time in their lives.

A. People gave Gmeiner some money.
B. There were many orphans at the end of the war.

C. who has no brother
D. all of the above

A. people in general
B. special organizations
C. the orphans themselves
D. governments
4. Which of the following can best summarize the work a woman in an SOS Village does for each group of children?
A. She lives with each group of children.
B. She gives the children a lot of love and kindness.
C. She looks after them.
D. She cooks the meals for them.
5. Hermann Gmeiner built the first SOS Children Village ______.

B. because he wanted orphans to have the care and kindness of parents
C. because he wanted to earn some money
D. both A and B
Passage 2
Insurance is the sharing of risks. Nearly everyone in exposed to risk of some sort. The house-owner, 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, 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 few are met form the contributions of the many. This is the basis of insurance. Those who pay the contributions are known as ″insured″ and those who administer the pool of contributions as ″insurers″.
Not all risks lend themselves to being covered by insurance. Broadly speaking, the ordinary risks of business and speculation(投机买卖)cannot be covered. The risk that buyers will not buy goods at the prices offered is not of a kind that can be statistically estimated and risks can only be insured against if they can be so estimated.
The legal basis of all insurance is the ″policy″. This is a printed form of contract on stout paper of the best quality. 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, if the risk or event insured against actually happens. The wording of policies, particularly in marine insurance, often seems very old—fashioned, but there is a sound reason for this. Over a large number of years many law case have been brought to clear up the meanings of doubtful phrases in policies. The law courts, in their judgment, have given these phrases a definite and indisputable meaning, and to avoid future disputes, the phrases have continued to be used in policies even when they have passed out of normal use in speech.
6. According to this passage 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
7. By ″the pool of contributions″ the writer means ______.
A. the cost of administering insurance
B. the amount of each premium
C. money paid by the insurers
D. money paid by the insured
8. The insurance of ordinary business risks is not possible because ______.
A. businessmen will not buy insurance
B. the premiums would be too high
C. the risks are too high
D. the risks cannot be estimated
9. Old—fashioned wording is sometimes used in insurance policies because _____.
A. the meaning of such wording has been agreed upon
B. it enables ordinary people to understand it
C. insurance is old—fashioned
D. insurance has existed for a long time
10. The writer of this passage seems to think that insurance is ______.
A. a form of gambling
B. a way of making money quickly
C. old—fashioned
D. useful and necessary
