Business people, foreigners and families alike are making good use of the growing industry.The first car rental firm opened in Shanghai in 1992 and now 12 car rental players are in the game, with more than 11.500 cars in their books.The largest-player Shanghai Bashi Tourism Car Rental Center offers a wide variety of choices: deluxe sedans, mini-vans, station wagons (旅行车), coaches(长途汽车), Santana sedans (桑塔那) are the big favorite.Firms can attract enough customers for 70 percent of their cars every month. This figure shoots up during holiday seasons like National Day, Labor Day and New Years Day, with some recording 100 percent rental.The major market force rests in the growing population of white-collar employees, who can afford the new service, said Zhuang Yu, marketing manager of Shanghai Angel Car Rental Co.60.

Shanghais car rental industry is growing so fast mainly due to _.A. better cars supplied by producers B. fast service offered by car rental firmsC. the increasing number of white-collar employeesD peoples growing interest in traveling during holidaysCInsurance (保险) is the sharing of risks . Nearly everyone is exposed to 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 an early age and leave his family the poorer . On the other hand , not every house is damaged by fire nor every 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 as “insure” and those who administer the pool of contributions as “insurers”.Not all risks lend themselves to being covered by insurance . Broadly speaking , the ordinary risks of business and speculation cannot be covered . The risk that buyers will not buy goods at the prices offered is not of a kind that can be statistically estimated （评估）and risks can only be insured against if they can be so estimated .The legal basis of all insurance is the “policy” ! This is a printed form of contract on 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 “premium”, 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 wording of policies , particularly in marine insurance , often seems very old-fashioned , but there is a sound reason for this . Over a large number of years many law cases have been brought to clear up the meanings of doubtful phrases in policies . The law courts , in their judgments , have given these phrases a definite and indisputable meaning , and to avoid future disputes the phrases have continued to be used in policies even when they have passed out of normal use in speech .63According to this passage , insurance is possible because .Aeveryone at some time suffers loss Bonly a small proportion of the insured suffer loss Cnearly everyone suffers loss Donly insured people suffer loss 64By “ the pool of contributions” the writer means .Amoney paid by the insured Bmoney paid by the insurers Cthe cost of administering insurance Dthe mount of each premium 65Old-fashioned wording is sometimes used in insurance because .Ainsurance is old-fashioned Binsurance has existed for a long time Cit enables ordinary people to understand it Dthe meaning of such wording has been agreed upon 66The writer of this passage seems to think that insurance is .Aa form of gambling Ba way of making money quickly Cold-fashioned Duseful and necessary DTo us it seems so natural to put up an umbrella to keep the water off when it rains. But actually the umbrella was not invented as protection against rain. Its first use was as a shade against the sun.Nobody knows who first invented it, but the umbrella was used in very ancient times. Probably the Chinese were the earliest to use it in the eleventh century BC. We know that the umbrella was used in ancient Egypt and Babylon as a sunshade. And there was a strange thing connected with its use: it became a symbol of honor and authority. In the Far East in ancient times, the umbrella was allowed to be used only by royalty or by those in high offices.In Europe, the Greeks were the earliest to use the umbrella as a sunshade. And the umbrella was allowed in common use in ancient Greece. But it is believed that the earliest persons in Europe to use the umbrella as protection against rain were the ancient Romans.During the Middle Ages, the use of the umbrella practically disappeared. Then it appeared again in Italy in the late sixteenth century. And again, it was considered a symbol of power and authority. In around 1680, the umbrella appeared in France and later on in England.By the eighteenth century, the umbrella was used against rain throughout most of Europe. Umbrellas have not changed much in style during all this time, though they have become much lighter in weight. It wasnt until the twentieth century that womens umbrellas began to be made in a whole variety of colors.67. The first use of umbrella was as _.A. protection against rain B. shade against the sunC. a symbol of power and authority D. a symbol of honor and authority68. In Europe, the umbrella was first used against rain _.A. in Greece B. in Rome C. in England D. in France69. From the text, we can infer that _.A. the umbrella changed much in style in the eighteenth century.B. no one knows why the umbrella was used in very ancient times.C. once ordinary people had no right to use umbrellas.D. during the Middle Ages the umbrella was common in Europe.70. This passage talks mainly about _.A. when and how the umbrella was invented.B. why the umbrella was so popula
