How Much Will Auto Insurance Cost？
Driver are grouped according to the level of risk each one poses-that is, the amount paid by insurers in each category of policyholders. Insurance companies group drivers in the following way :
Sex: Men have more accidents on the road than women.
Age: Drivers under 25(and for some insurers, under30)are considered more likely to have an accident.
Marital Status: Married drivers tend to have fewer accidents than single drivers.
Personal Driving Record: Years of driving experience , accidents, speeding tickets and drunk-driving offenses are all factors in determining how much of a risk you pose as a motorist.
How You Use Your Vehicle: If you commute by car during rush hour, you are at greater risk of having an accident than if you only drive for errands and recreation on the weekends. Drivers who use their own vehicles for business also are considered to be at a greater risk.
Types of Vehicles: The value, size, weights, age of your vehicle, even the cost of replacement parts are essential to determining the price of your insurance. Larger, heavier vehicles are considered at lower risk than smaller, lighter ones. More expensive cars are costlier to have repaired than economy models so the premium is higher.
Which of the following car damage can be covered by the Comprehensive？
A．Broken window caused by storm
B．Destroyed seats after an earthquake
C．Deformed door after a collision
D．Flat tire cut by a malicious guy
听力原文： There are several different kinds of insurance and many people purchase insurance for various purposes. Insurance provides protection against risks. But not all people know a lot about insurance. So I'll introduce four most common insurance today. They are: automobile insurance, homeowner's insurance, health insurance, and life insurance.
Automobile insurance: drivers must be financially responsible for any damage done by their vehicles. This means that if you are involved in an accident in which someone is injured or there is significant property damage, you must be able to pay for the damages. You can buy different types of automobile insurance including liability insurance and collision insurance. Because this can be very costly, drivers purchase automobile insurance.
Homeowner's insurance: because most homeowners could not afford to replace their home if it were destroyed, they carry insurance to cover. the value of the home and its contents. A homeowner's policy may include protection against any or all of the following: fire, lighting, windstorms, explosions, theft, and flood. Health insurance: health insurance will pay for medical bills in the event of an accident causing injury. There are three basic categories of health-care coverage. Major medical-expense coverage is designed to protect against large unpredictable medical expenses. Disability income insurance provides cash benefits to the policyholder for living expenses if the policyholder is unable to work.
Life insurance: life insurance is purchased to protect dependents of the policyholder in the event of his or her death. There are four basic types of life insurance. Term insurance insures the lite of the policyholder for a specific period of time, usually one to five years. Whole life insurance builds up a cash value over the years. Endowment life insurance provides both protection and savings, with most of the emphasis on savings. The primary purpose of this type is to build up savings for some future purpose such as supplementary income during retirement.

听力原文： During the Christmas shopping rush in London, the intriguing story was reported of a tramp who, apparently through no fault of his own, found himself locked in a well-known chain store late on Christmas Eve. No doubt the store was filled with last-minute Christmas shoppers and the staff were dead beating and longing to get home. Presumably all the proper security checks were made before the store was locked and they left to enjoy the three-day holiday untroubled by customers desperate to get last-minute Christmas presents.
However that may be, our tramp found himself alone in the store and decided to make the best of it. There was food, drink, bedding and camping equipment, of which he made good use. There must also have been television sets and radios. Though it was not reported if he took advantage of these facilities , when the shop re-opened, he was discovered in bed with a large number of empty bottles beside him. He seems to have been a man of good humour and philosophic temperament—as indeed vagrants very commonly are. Everyone else was enjoying Christmas, so he saw no good reason why he should not do the same. He submitted, cheerfully enough, to being taken away by the police. Perhaps he had a better Christmas than usual. He was put into prison for seven days. The judge awarded no compensation to the chain store for the food and drink our tramp had consumed. They had, in his opinion, already received valuable free publicity from the coverage the story received in the newspapers and on television. Perhaps the judge had a good Christmas too.
The tramp was locked in the store______
A．for his own mistakes
B．due to a misunderstanding
C．by accident
D．through an error of judgment
1：第二篇Reading Comprehension(子母填空): Answer questions 1 ～ 10 by referring to the comments on 3 different types of music in the following magazine article. Note :Answer each question by choosing A, B or C and mark it on ANSWER SHEET 1. Some choices may be required more than once. A = Audi A3 B = Honda Civic C = Rover 216 Audi A3 Most of our drivers said the A3 was their definite favourite in this group. They described it as refined and comfortable with good handing characteristics and light, precise steering. All the seats were comfortable and the front ones were easy to adjust. Most drivers liked the driving position, helped by a good range of steering wheel and seat height adjustments. The main instruments were clear and dashboard controls were well positioned. Mirror coverage was excellent but our drivers complained that the view out of the rear was badly hindered by the high rear window line and thick pillars. Getting into the back seats was easy, thanks to a clever seat mechanism, which moves the seat up and forward as well as tilting the backrest. Rear legroom was reasonable but the rear seat was only barely wide enough for three adults. Luggage space was average for this class of car but you have to remove the rear head estraints to fold the rear seat. There were plenty of useful interior storage spaces. All A3s come with an alarm and immobilizer as standard. Our ' thief' got in through the doors in 20 seconds, But the radio was a non-standard fit, which is probably to deter thieves. The hinges of the rear seats could release in an accident, allowing luggage to crash through into the passenger compartment. Also, the driver's knees could be damaged by stiff structures under the dash. Some parts of the fuel system and electrics would be vulnerable to damage in a frontal collision. Honda Civic Honda says its special VTEC engine has a winning combination of economy and performance, but our drivers found it a bit of a curate's egg. It was the most economical of the cars on test, but drivers found it sluggish at low revs, and its acceleration in the fifth gear was slow, so overtaking normally meant having to shift down to the fourth gear. The driving position was acceptable, but our panel criticized the restricted rear visibility—the rear window was quite small. Drivers found the back rest supportive but it was not available to make fine adjustments to the angle. The ride comfort was acceptable, but it wasn't as good as the Audi's or Rover's. The driver's seat didn't slide forward when it was tilted, making rear access awkwardly from this side. In the back, headroom and legroom was excellent but testers didn't find the seats particularly comfortable. The luggage space was small for this class of car, especially with the rear seats in place. However, folding the rear seat to increase luggage space was easy. Other points proved by our panel included well-placed minor controls, good mirror coverage, but fiddly radio controls. All Civics come with an immoblizer but no alarm. You may want to consider paying extra for an alarm, as our "thief" broke into through the doors in 13 seconds, and into the engine bay in just five seconds. There were stiff structures under the dash which could damage the driver's knees in an accident, though there was no problem on the passenger's side. The handbook (like the Audi's) provided suggestion on using child restraints. Rover 216 The 1.6-1itre engine had good power delivery at both high and low revs but some drivers complained that it was noisy at high revs. The brakes didn't have very good progression, but drivers like their positive feel. Ride comfort and the handling were recommended. But drivers found it difficult to achieve a comfortable driving position. The driver's seat was not height-adjustable, and there was only limited space to rest your clutch foot. Some testers also found the seat backrest uncomfortable. Visibility was married by the small mirrors. The rear view was also restricted by thick pillars and the small rear window. Getting into the back was tricky because the front seats did not slide forward when tilted. Once in the back, legroom and headroom were poor, and testers complained that their rear seat base was unsupportive. Luggage space was smaller than average for this class of car—this was compounded by a high boot sill and difficulties in folding the rear seat. But there were large pockets in the doors and rear side panels. The main radio controls were more convenient; they were mounted on the steering wheel so drivers didn't have to take their hands off the wheel to use them. Our Rover 200s came with an alarm, though this isn't standard on all versions. Our thief' broke in through the doors in 15 seconds. Some of the electrics would be vulnerable in a frontal impact. The rear seat hinges could release in an accident, allowing luggage to crash through into the passenger compartment. Also, information in the handbook on using child restrains was not adequate. 1.has a driver seat that can be adjusted to fit most people？
We want broader ______ to include some extraneous risks． (coverable, coverage)
