请根据以下内容回答下列各题 Insurance (保险)is the sharing of risks. Nearly everyone isexposed to risk of some sort. The house owner, for example, knows that hisproperty can be damaged by fire; the ship-owner knows that his vessel may belost at sea; the breadwinner knows that he may die at any early age and leavehis family poorer. On the other hand, not every house is damaged by fire norevery 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 otherwords, the losses of the few are met from the contributions of the many. Thisis the basis of insurance. Those who pay the contribution are known as insuredand those who administer(管理)the pool of contributionsas insurers. The legal basis of all insurance is thepolicy. 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 sumof money, called the pre- mium(保险费), which is usually paid every year, the insurer will pay a sum ofmoney or compensation for loss, if the risk or event insured against actuallyhappens. The premium for an insurance naturally depends upon how likely therisk is to happen, as suggested by past experience, ff companies fix theirpremiums too high, there will be more to make the premium too low, they willlose money and may even have to drop out of busi- ness. So the ordinary forcesof supply and demand keep premiums at a level satisfactory to both the insurerand the insured. According to the writer, insurance is possible because__________

A.only a small proportion of the insured sufferloss

B.only insured people suffer loss

C.nearly everyone suffers loss

D.everyone at some time suffers loss

t could be touched: food, tools, and precious metals and stones. Then the barter system was replaced by coins, which still had real value since they were pieces of rare metal. Coins were followed by fiat money, paper notes that have value only because everyone agrees to accept them. Today electronic monetary systems are gradually being introduced that will transform. money into even less tangible forms, reducing it to a series of “bits and bytes”, or units of computerized information, going between machines at the speed of light. Already, electronic fund transfer allows money to be instantly sent and received by different banks, companies, and countries through computers and telecommunications devices. Which of the following would be the most appropriate title for the passage？

A.International Banking Policies

B.The History of Monetary Exchange

C.The Development of Paper Currencies

根据以下内容，回答下列各题。 Man’s first real invention, and one of the most important inve

ntions in history, was the wheel．All transportation and every machine in the world depend on it．The wheel is the simplest yet perhaps the most remarkable of all inventions, because there are no wheels in nature-no living thing was ever created with wheels．How, then, did man come to invent the wheel？ Perhaps some early hunters found that they could roll the carcass of a heavy animal through the forest on logs more easily than they could carry it．However, the logs themselves weighed a lot． It must have taken a great prehistoric thinker to imagine two thin slices of log connected, at their centers by a string stick．This would roll along just as the logs did, yet be much lighter and easier to handle．Thus the wheel and axle came into being and with them the first carts． The wheel is important because _______．

A.it was man’s first real invention

B.all transportation depends on it

C.every machine depends on it

D.both B and C

根据以下内容回答下列各题, One of the greatest problems for those settlers in Nebraska in t

he last quarter of the previous century was fuel. Little of the state was forested when the first settlers arrived and it is probable that by 1880, only about one-third of the originally forested area remained, down to a mere 1 percent of the states 77,000 square miles. With wood and coal out of the question, and with fuel needed year-round for cooking, and during the harsh winter months for heating, some solution had to be foun d． Somewhat improbably, the buffalo provided the answer. Buffalo chips (干粪块) were found to burn evenly, hotly, and cleanly, with little smoke and interestingly, no odor, Soon, collecting them became a way of life for the settlers children who would pick them up on their way to and from school, or take part in competitions designed to counteract their natural reluctance. Even a young man, seeking to impress the girl he wanted to marry, would arrive with a large bag of chips rather than with a box of candy or a bunch of flowers. What is the main topic of this passage？

A.The solution to the Nebraska settlers fuel problem.

B.Life in Nebraska in the late ninteenth century.

C.The imporance of the American buffalo.

D.Deforestation in Nebraska in the late nineteenth century.
