Cambridge University provides opportunities for educational achievement which are probably unequalled. This is, above all, the place for students with inquiring minds who want to extend their mastery of an educational discipline. The admission standard is high—the great majority of entrants(入学者) have at least AAB grades at GCE A-level (or the equivalent), but learning ability is the only quality they all share. Students at Cambridge come from a wide range of educational and social background. Whatever your background, you yourself have to make the decision to apply, and you, as an individual, will be considered for admission.
At Cambridge, Open Days are arranged to help you to experience the atmosphere and see the facilities in a college. Admissions and teaching and teaching staff will be there to answer any questions about educational matters, your qualifications, life in a college and so on. This would be the moment to discuss your school courses, if they are in any way different from conventional academic A-levels. If you cannot come to an Open Day, an informal visit to a college can often be arranged, by contacting the Admissions Office well beforehand.
Cambridge graduates traditionally go into a very wide range of occupations. Usually over a quarter will continue with some form. of further study, either for a higher degree or for a vocational(职业的) qualification.
The Cambridge University is the place ______.
A.where students can extend their mastery of a major
B.where students can learn a practical skill
C.where only the rich students can go for study
D.whose admission standard is low
Directions: After reading the following passage, you will find 5 questions or unfinished statements, numbered 36 through 40. For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A, B, C, and D. You should make the correct choice.
Most insurance companies in the world are stock insurance companies or mutual insurance companies. A stock insurance company is owned by stockholders, who share in profits earned by the company. A mutual insurance company is owned by the policyholders(投保人). Profits earned by a mutual insurance company are returned to the policyholders as dividends(股息) or used to cut future insurance cost.
In addition to the private insurance organizations, certain types of insurance are provided in the U.S. by governmental organizations. A notable instance is the system of social security operated by the federal government through the Social Security Administration.
An insurance company may require a policyholder to provide proof of the ownership and the value of lost or damaged property before it pays compensation. For this reason, policyholders should have such evidence of their possessions as lists, sales receipts, appraisals(估价单), or photographs. The evidence should be kept in a safe-deposit box or other secure place outside the home.
Many companies that sell health insurance policies(保险) provide cash benefits to the insured person. A cash benefit is a fixed dollar amount for each medical expense or day of hospitalization. If the cash benefits do not cover the entire cost of medical care, the policyholder must pay the rest.
The profits earned by a mutual insurance company______.
A.are shared by the stockholders
B.are all given to the policyholders as stocks
C.are used to reduce future insurance cost
D.are used in some investment
Directions: After reading the following passage, you will find 5 questions or unfinished statements, numbered 36 through 40. For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A, B, C, and D. You should make the correct choice.
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 vessel 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, not every vessel lost at sea. If these persons each put a small sum into a pool(集体储备金), 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. Those who administer the pool of contributions are insurers.
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 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 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.
According to the passage, insurance is possible because ______.
A.only a small proportion of the insured suffer loss
B.only insured people suffer loss
C.nearly everyone suffers loss
D.everyone suffers loss

Very high waves are destructive when they strike the land. Fortunately, this seldom happens. One reason is that out at sea, waves moving in one direction almost always run into waves moving in a different direction. The two sets of waves tend to cancel each other out. Another reason is that water is shallower near the shore. As a wave gets closer to land, the shallow bottom helps reduce its strength.
But the power of waves striking the shore can still be very great. During a winter gale, waves sometimes strike the shore with the force of 6,000 pounds for each square foot. That means a wave, 25 feet high and 500 feet along its face, may strike the shore with a force of 75 million pounds.
Yet the waves, no matter how big or how violent, affect only the surface of the sea. During the most raging storms, the water a hundred fathoms(600 feet) beneath the surface is just as calm as on a day without a breath of wind.
According to the passage, destruction caused by high waves occurs ______.
A.regularly
B.rarely
C.always
D.predictably
A. against
B. with
C. to
D. for
