14、 when you are actually purchasing ear insurance, it can be difficult for you to decide which is your best choice. The ideal buying process is to first research and decide, then purchase. Research first Before buying car insurance, you should find out the purpose of your purchase and how the insuranc
15、e meets your needs. Decide on suitable Car Insurance Policies (保单) A neglected part of car insurance is the part which covers medical bills. Medical payments can add up very quickly in an accident situation, and the insurance should cover the bills incurred (招致) both by you and by the passengers in

21、nce五、Passage 2(总题数：1，分数：15.00)I suppose that the most basic and powerful way to connect to another person is to listen. Just listen. Perhaps the most important thing we ever give each other is our attention, and especially if it“s given from the heart. When people are talking, there“s no need to do
22、anything but receive them. Listen to what they“re saying. Care about it. Most times caring about it is even more important than understanding it. Most of us don“t value ourselves or our love enough to know this. It has taken me a long time to believe in the power of simple saying “I“m so sorry.“ whe
23、n someone is in pain. One of my patients told me that when she tried to tell her story people often interrupted to tell her that they once had something just like that happening to her. Subtly, her pain became a story about themselves. Eventually she stopped talking to most people. We connect throug
24、h listening. When we interrupt what someone is saying to let them know that we understand, we move the focus of attention to ourselves. When we listen, they know we care. I have ever learned to respond to someone cuing by just listening. In the old days I used to reach for the handkerchiefs, until I
25、 realized that passing a person a handkerchief may be just another way to shut him down, to take them out of their experience of sadness. Now I just listen. When they have cried all they need to cry, they find me there with them. This simple thing has not been that easy to learn. It certainly went a
26、gainst everything I had been taught since I was very young. I thought people listened only because they were too shy to speak or did not know the answer. But now I know that a loving silence often has far more power to heal than the kindest words.（分数：15.00）(1).What does the author value most in the
27、communication with each other?（分数：3.00）A.Deep understanding.B.Saying “I“m sorry“.C.Attention from heart.D.Doing nothing.(2).The woman“s patient stopped telling her story to most people because _.（分数：3.00）A.she didn“t get enough respect from othersB.she was discouraged by being often interruptedC.peo
28、ple often told her their own opinionsD.people couldn“t understand her sad situation(3).If you hand a handkerchief to someone crying, you may _.（分数：3.00）A.hurt his feelingsB.make him embarrassedC.encourage him to continue to cryD.stop him from letting out his sorrow(4).It can be inferred from the pas
29、sage that while communicating, _.（分数：3.00）A.listening is a perfect way to respond to othersB.people keep silent because they don“t know the answerC.keeping silent means being too shy to speakD.it is easy to form the habit of listening silently(5).Which of the following might be the author“s opinion
30、about communication?（分数：3.00）A.Keep silent.B.Just listen.C.Be careful.D.Tell your own story.六、Passage 3(总题数：1，分数：15.00)Believe it or not, optical illusion(错觉) can cut highway crashes(撞毁). Japan is a case in point. It has reduced automobile crashes on some roads by nearly 75 percent using a simple op
31、tical illusion. Bent strips, called chevrons (人字形), painted on the roads make drivers think that they are faster than they really are, and thus drivers slow down. Now the American Automobile Association Foundation for Traffic Safety in Washington D. C. is planning to repeat Japan“s success. Starting
32、 next year, the Foundation will paint chevrons and other patterns of strips on selected roads around the country to test how well the patterns reduce highway crashes. Excessive speed plays a major role in as much as one fifth of all fatal(致命) traffic accidents, according to the Foundation. To help r
33、educe those accidents, the Foundation will carry its tests in areas where speed-related hazards (危险) are the greatestcurves (弯), exit slopes, traffic circles, and bridges. Some studies suggest that straight, horizontal bars (水平障碍物) painted across roads can initially(最初) cut the average speed of driv
34、ers in half. However, traffic often returns to full speed within months as drivers become used to seeing the painted bars. Chevrons, scientists say, not only give drivers the impression that they are driving faster than they really are, but also make a lane(车道) appear to be narrower. The result is a
35、 longer lasting reduction in highway speed and the number of traffic accidents.（分数：15.00）(1).The passage mainly discusses _.（分数：3.00）A.a new way of highway speed controlB.a new pattern for painting highwaysC.a new way of training driversD.a new type of optical illusion(2).On roads painted with chevr
36、ons, drivers tend to feel that _.（分数：3.00）A.they should avoid speed-related hazardsB.they are driving in the wrong laneC.they should slow down their speedD.they are coming near to the speed limit(3).The advantage of chevrons over straight, horizontal bars is that the former _.（分数：3.00）A.can keep dri
37、vers awakeB.can cut road accidents in halfC.will look more attractiveD.will have a longer effect on drivers(4).The American Automobile Association Foundation for Traffic Safety plans to _.（分数：3.00）A.try out the Japanese method in certain areasB.change the road signs across the countryC.replace strai
38、ght, horizontal bars with chevronsD.repeat the Japanese road patterns(5).What does the author say about straight, horizontal bars painted across roads?（分数：3.00）A.They are suitable only on broad roads.B.They are falling out of use in the United States.C.They are ignored in a long period of time.D.The
39、y cannot be used successfully to traffic circles.七、Passage 4(总题数：1，分数：15.00)When you were looking for a reliable, honest auto mechanic, how did you find him? Before you went into that restaurant you recently tried, how did you know that it served great food? If you“re like most everyone on the plane
40、t, you want to lower your risk of a big ugly surprise so you asked people you trust to refer you to a business they trust. We all rely on our friends and associates to recommend goingor not goingto a particular business. Marketers call this friend-to-friend endorsement (认可) of a business “word-of-mo
41、uth advertising“. It is the most powerful form of advertising. It is also the most difficult to create. When you do a great job for your customers or a rotten job, people are going to talk about your business. Unfortunately, because we humans seem to feel negative emotions more intensely than positi
42、ve ones, we“re more inclined to tell more of our friends about bad experiences with a business than positive ones. Understand this: Customers believe their own experience. You can“t make them believe that your company is wonderful when they felt they were treated badly. So, to get positive word-of-m
43、outh going for your business, especially from your demanding customers in this service-based economy, you“ve got to do a really outstanding job for everyone, exactly. And when you do, you build a great reputation. That takes time. But it forges a link with your customers and prospective customers in
44、 a way that no advertising and no promotional coupon(优惠券) ever could. The good news is that because there are so many different businesses chasing after your customers“ money, people want to know whom they can trust. So people are going to be talking about you. Create a free sales force for your bus
45、inessan army of delighted customers who tell everyone they know how good your company is to do business with. That“s a great antidote(解毒剂) to defection .（分数：15.00）(1).What is the main topic of this passage?（分数：3.00）A.A person should rely on his friends for a business.B.A good name will bring you mon
46、ey.C.A company can make customers believe that it“s wonderful.D.A company should advertise everything to survive.(2).According to the author, whether we“ll go to a place or not depends on _.（分数：3.00）A.media advertisingB.department store display windowC.word-of-mouth advertisingD.the business fame(3)
47、.Why are we more likely to tell more of our friends about unsatisfied experiences with a business than satisfied ones?（分数：3.00）A.Because we aren“t inclined to have a negative feeling.B.Because we often feel negative emotions more intensely.C.Because we seem to feel more intensely.D.Because we often
48、hear people express their negative emotions.(4).According to the author, when you do a really outstanding job in service, you will _.（分数：3.00）A.build a bad reputationB.break the link with your customerC.get a positive word-of-mouth advertising for your businessD.earn big money(5).What“s the meaning
