Conversation: This part is to test your reading ability. There are 5 tasks for you to fulfil. You should read the reading materials carefully and do the tasks as you are instructed.Task 1 Conversation :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) or D). You should make the correct choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre. 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 eompany 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 insuranee 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. As to the types of insuranee organizations, there are ______.

Conversation: This part is to test your listening ability. It consists of 3 sections.Section A Conversation: This section is to test your ability to understand short dialogues. There are 5 recorded dialogues in it. After each dialogue, there is a recorded question. Both the dialogues and questions will be spoken only once. When you hear a question, you should decide on the correct answer from the 4 choices marked A), B), C) and D) given in your test paper. Then you should mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.
Passage 1 Humans are forever forgetting that they can’ t control nature. Exactly 20 years ago, a Time magazine cover story announced that scientists are on the verge of being able to predict the time, place and even the size of earthquakes. "The people of quake-ravaged Kobe learned last week how wrong that assertion was." None of the methods conceived two decades ago has yet to discover a uniform warning signal that preceded all quakes, let alone any sign that would tell whether the coming tremor is mild or a killer. Earthquake formation can be triggered by many factors, says Hiroo Kanamori, a seismologist at the California Institute of Technology. So, finding one all-purpose warning sign is impossible. One reason: Quakes start deep in the earth, so scientists can’ t study them directly. If a quake precursor were found, it would still be impossible to warn humans in advance of all dangerous quakes. Places like Japan and California are riddled with hundreds, if not thousands, of minor faults. Prediction would be less important if scientists could easily build structures to withstand tremors. While seismic engineering has improved dramatically in the past 10 to 15 years, every new quake reveals unexpected weaknesses in "quake-resistant" structures, says Terry Tullis, a geophysicist at Brown University. In Kobe, for example, a highway that opened only last year was damaged. In the Northridge earthquake, on the other hand, well-built structures generally did not collapse. A recent report in science adds yet more anxiety about life on the faulty lines. Researchers ran computer simulations to see how quake-resistant buildings would fare in a moderate-size tremor, taking into account that much of a quakes energy travels in a large "pulse" of focused shaking. The results: Both steel-frame buildings and buildings that sit on insulating rubber pads suffered severe damage. More research will help experts design stronger structures and possibly find quake precursors. But it is still a certainty that the next earthquakes will prove once again that every fault cannot be monitored and every highway cannot be completely quake-proofed. What does the word "precursor" in the context in Para. 3 mean

Task 5 Conversation: The following are two business letters. After reading them, you should give brief answers to the 5 questions (No. 56 through No. 60) that follow. The answers should be no more than 3 words. They should be written after the corresponding numbers on the Answer Sheet. Letter OneDear Sirs, On 5th October I bought one of your expensive "Apollo" fountain pens from Julian’s, a big department store of this town. Unfortunately I have been unable to use the pen because it leaks and fails to write without making blots. I am very disappointed with my purchase. On the advice of Julian’s manager I am returning the pen to you and enclose it with this letter for correction of the fault. Please arrange for the pen to be fixed or replace it with a new one and send it to me as soon as possible. Letter TwoDear Sirs, Thank you for your letter of 9th October enlosing the defective "Apollo" fountain pen, received today. We very much regret that the pen you bought has given you trouble. Normally each of our pens is individually examined before being passed into store and it is hard to understand why this one escaped examination. We have passed your pen to our quality control department for inspection and report. Meanwhile, we are arranging to replace your pen with a new one. We extend our apologies for the inconvenience this matter has caused you, but are confident that the replacement pen you will be receiving will prove satisfactory. What did the writers of the first letter buy in Julian’s He bought ______.
