Redundancies Threatened in Insurance Takeover Hundreds of insurance workers were facing redundancy last night after two companies announced as they were joining forces. The redundancies
34 are under threatened by a ￡4 billion takeover of Bastion Insurance
35 which has been a 17,500-strong workforce, by overseas rival Sunshine
36 Provincial, which employs a staff of 20,000. A spokesperson for
37 Bastion workers who accepted there would be rationalization of the two
38 companies' operations, causing redundancies. However, since there was
39 relief when workers heard the job losses would be nowhere near the
40 5,000 level initially were feared. These bigger cuts would have resulted if
41 Bastion had accepted that a bid from Total Insurance two weeks ago. It opted
42 instead of for joining up with Sunshine, whose employees are mostly based
43 abroad. The spokeperson added, "Recently we were talking with about thousands of
44 redundancies, so this is at best for all. "Experts predict that this is only one of many

根据下列文章,请回答 26～30 题。Text 2
More than 30,000 drivers and passengers who sit in the front of the vehicles are killed or seriously injured each year. At a speed of only 30 miles per hour it is the same as falling from a third floor building. Wearing a seat belt saves lives:it reduces your chance of death or serious injury by more than a half.
Therefore drivers or front seat passengers over 14 in most vehicles must wear a seat belt. If you do not, you will be fined up to £50. It will not be up to the drivers to make sure you wear your belt. But it will be the driver's responsibility to make sure that children under 14 do not ride in the front unless they are wearing a seat belt of some kind.
However, when you're reversing your car, you do not have to wear a seat belt;or when you are making a local delivery or collection using a special vehicle ; or if you have a valid medical certificate which excuses you from wearing it. Make sure these circumstances apply to you before you decide not to wear your seat belt. Remember that you may be taken to court for not doing so, and you may be fined if you cannot prove that you have been excused from wearing it.
第26题：How many people in the front of the vehicles are killed or seriously injured every year？
A．30,000.
B．60,000.
C．Approximately 30,000.
D．Above 30,000.
Political controversy(争论)about the public-land policy of the United States began with the American Revolution. In fact, even before independence from Britain was won, it became clear that resolving the dilemmas(困境)surrounding the public domain might prove necessary to preserve the Union itself.
At the peace negotiations with Britain, Americans demanded, and got a western boundary at the Mississippi River. Thus the new nation secured for its birthright a vast internal empire rich in agricultural and mineral resources. But under their colonial charters(契约) ,seven states--Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia--claimed portions of the western wilderness. Virginia's claim was the largest, stretching north and west to encompass the later states of Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan and Wisconsin. The language of the charters was vague and their validity question able, but during the war Virginia reinforced its title by sponsoring Colonel George Rogers Clark's 1778 expedition to Vincennes and Kaskaskia, which strengthened America's trans Appalachian pretensions(要求，权利)at the peace table.
The six states holding no claim to the transmountain (在山那边的)region doubted whether a confederacy in which territory was so unevenly apportioned would turely prove what it claimed to be a union to equals. Already New Jersey, Delaware, Rhode Island, and Maryland were among the smallest and least populous of the states. While they levied(征收) heavy taxes to repay state war debts, their larger neighbors might retire debts out of land sale proceeds.
With which of the following topics is the passage primarily concerned？
A．A controversial public-land policy.
B．How independence from Britain was won.
C．The land holdings of Massachusetts.
D．How New Jersey developed its western land.

Gay Marriage Storms US Political Primetime
In the space of a few months, gay marriage in the United States has been transformed from a margin al issue into one of the hottest topics of the day with crucial legal and political ramifications.
Its importance was underlined Tuesday with President George W. Bush's public endorsement—in an election year—of a proposal to amend the US Constitution in a way that would ban same-sex marriage altogether.
The hugely divisive issue burst to prominence in November, following a landmark ruling by the Massachusetts Supreme Court that preventing same-sex couples from marrying violated the state's constitution.
The decision opened the way for Massachusetts to become the first state in the country to legalise gay marriage and laid down the battle lines between advocates, who argue in terms of equal human rights,
and opponents, who warn that the "sacred" institution of marriage is under threat.
Same-sex unions are under judicial review in Indiana, New Jersey and Arizona, and supporters were given a further boost last year when Canada legalised gay marriage, Causing many American couples to make the trip north of the border.
But at home, opposition is strong and highly organised, with family groups and conservative politicians the most vocal in their condemnation of any form. of recognition being extended to same-sex couples. A New York Times/CBS News poll taken in mid-February showed 61 percent still 'oppose gay marriage.
The social divisions surrounding the issue were brought into sharp relief earlier this month when the mayor of San Francisco decided to challenge California state laws by issuing the country's first-ever marriage licenses to gay couples. Some 3,300 same-sex partners have so far taken advantage of the mayor's largesse, despite moves by conservative opponents to get a court injunction preventing the unions taking place.
For couples like Marcye and Karen Nicholson-McFadden, who have lived together in New Jersey for 14 years and are raising two children, marriage would provide legal rights covering a host of issues from reduced car insurance to hospital visits and inheritance.
"These are rights everybody else takes for granted, and which you become so much more aware of when you have kid," said Marcye. "There is no legal connection between us. Our son understands marriage means commitment, and all this makes him feel insecure."
Michael Dimock of the Pew Research Center, which studies opinions towards public policy issues, says resistance to same-sex marriage tends to be strongest among regular churchgoers and older people.
"And then there are a lot of people who are just resistant to the idea of changing the definition (of marriage), and how society operates," Dimock said. "People express concern about its implications for the legal system, and what it's going to mean for the notion of family."
Thirty-eight US states have laws stipulating that marriage is an institution for heterosexuals only. Under the court decision in Massachusetts, the state must begin issuing marriage licenses on request to same-sex partners beginning May 17. Local legislators have so far failed to agree on proposals to sidestep the court by amending the state constitution.
Gay marriage in the United States has been transformed into one of the hottest topics.
