18、o 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 any early age and leave his family poorer. On the other hand, not every house is damaged by fire nor ev

19、ery 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 the few are met from the contributions of the many. This is the basis of insurance. Those who pay the contribution are known

20、 as insured and those who administer(管理 )the pool of contributions as 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 p

21、re-mium(保险费 ), 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 fi

22、x their premiums too high, there will be more to make the premium too low, they will lose money and may even have to drop out of business.

Our usual solution is to ki

27、ll off anything that get in our way. Even on those rare occasions when we do enter into a relationship with another species, it is heavily biased(带有倾向 )in our favor. The other species benefits only when it suits our own interests. Our attempts to communicate with another species are concerned mainly

28、 with giving orders in our own language and having them obeyed. Probably our best attempt has been the whistle language that is used in the shepherd-sheepdog relationship. This is a system that is natural to neither species, but one that both can understand. Its only fault lies in fact that the bias

29、 is still there the dog cannot whistle for the man. But now comes news of a piece of research that promises, for the first time, to open up two-way communication between man and another species.

30、th a young female chimpanzee (黑猩猩 ) called Washoe.

33、used to give orders （ B） it is not natural for both shepherd and sheepdog （ C） it is a one-way communication approach （ D） it can only be used between man and dog 44 Allen and Beatrice Gardener managed to communicate with the chimpanzee by_. （ A） training the chimpanzee to learn human language in an

34、 entirely new method （ B） creating a language both man and the chimpanzee were able to use （ C） using animal s vocal language which the chimpanzee was able to understand （ D） learning the chimpanzee s language with an entirely new approach 45 It can be inferred from the passage that_. （ A） in the fu
