Letter One

                                                                                      21 July, 2008

Dear Sirs,

Our foreman, Mr. Li Ming, had an accident on July 6, 2008. He crushed his forefinger when operating a machine. At that time, we didn’t think the accident was serious enough to report, but Mr. Li has returned to his work after an absence of two weeks and is still unable to carry on his normal duties. We therefore wish to make a claim (索賠) under the above policy (保險(xiǎn)單) and shall appreciate your sending us the necessary claim form.

                                                                             Yours faithfully,

                                                                           (Signature)

 

Letter Two

27 July, 2008

Dear Sirs,

     We have received your letter of July 21 and noted that you made a claim for the accident of Mr. Li Ming. We would, however, remind you of the terms of the policy that this claim should have been submitted within three days after the accident. More than two weeks have now passed. Consequently, your claim to compensation（賠償）under the policy has been forfeited (放棄、沒(méi)收).

Nevertheless, as an exceptional measure, we have decided to overlook its late submission, though we are bound to say that it should have been clear from Mr. Li’s absence from work that this accident was more serious than you had supposed and that there seems to be no good reason why this claim should not have been made earlier.

We are enclosing (附上) a claim form as requested, but must emphasize that future claims cannot be entertained if you cannot comply with the terms of the policy.

                                                                                 Yours faithfully,

                                                                            (Signature)

A. Mr. Li crushed his forefinger when operating a machine.

B. Mr. Li can’t work after an absence of two weeks.

   C. Asking for a claim for injury.

68. What happened to Li Ming on July 6?

A. He crushed his forefinger while working.

   B. He was hurt by a car accident.

C. He was ill.

D. He didn’t go to work.

69. The reason why they didn’t report the accident to the insurer in time is that ______.

A. they didn’t think of the claim

B. they didn’t think it was serious enough to report

C. they didn’t insure in the company

70. What’s the attitude of the insurer to this injury?

　　Samuel Finley Breese Morse was a talented artist and teacher who became famous for an invention that sprang from a hobby. He invented the telegraph. Morse financed his innovation by painting and teaching art at New York University. Despite the discouraging comments of his fellow professors, Morse toiled at the telegraph until it was perfected. The next problem was to create a vocabulary for his invention—a special language without words.

　　Morse's idea was to have an alphabet made entirely of symbols which could be sent over a telegraph wire, thereby hastening the transmission of messages. He came up with a system of dots (小點(diǎn)) and dashes (破折號(hào)) which could be “tapped” on the telegraph, arranged in combinations to represent every letter in the alphabet.

　　The United States Congress became curious about this invention and invited Morse to Capitol Hill for a demonstration of his telegraph on May 24, 1844. Morse demonstrated his skills by sending a message from Washington, D. C. , to Baltimore. That message was successfully transmitted and received, and a new era in communications technology was born.

　　Today, the Morse Code (摩爾斯碼) is so widely used that it is no longer considered a secret language. One advantage to the code, despite its seeming mystery, is that a variety of “telegraph” instruments may be used—finger tapping buzzers (蜂間器), whistles (口笛), lights, and even flags.

　　Flag transmission is relatively simple to perform, but it requires special equipment. In areas with dark backgrounds, a white flag which a small square of red in the center is preferred. Conversely, in areas featuring a light background, a dark colored flag with a small square of white in the center is most efficient.

　　The flag code involves three movements, all of which be-gin and end with the flag being held perpendicular (成直角的) in front of the sender. A dot is created by swinging the flag down to the right and back in position; a dash is made by swinging the flag down to the left and back. An interval (間歇) is created by waving the flag down in front and back in position. There are no pauses between dots and dashes, but pauses are used to indicate the end of a letter. One interval indicates the end of a word, two signify the end of a sentence, and three intervals indicate the message's end.

　　Morse Code is thus remarkable not only for its efficiency, but also for its versatility and relative ease of use.

1．Aside from inventiong Morse Code, Samuel F. B. Morse was also famous for ________.

[　　]

A．his invention of the telegraph

B．being invited by the United States Congress to Capitol Hills

C．teaching art history

3．Morse provided part of money for his invention by mean of ________.

[　　]

A．teaching art

B．painting house

C．working as a messenger

D．demonstration of his telegraph

4．It can be inferred from the passage that Morse Code ________.

[　　]

A．made Morse an important political figure

B．transformed the world of communications technology

C．was the forerunner of the telephone

D．made Morse rich

5．The author states that an advantage of Morse Code is ________.

　　Voices and fingers usually prevent us from reading fast． Young children and even old people learning to read move their fingers along the line of the piece being read, pointing to each word, sometimes even each letter one after another, and saying them to themselves in a low voice． Sometimes the reader makes no sound at all, but keeps moving the inside part of his mouth to pronounce silently． However, no matter how the reader moves his mouth while reading, seen or unseen, visible or invisible, it will be impossible for him to reach a speed of more than about 280 w．p．m．

　　Reading must be done by seeing instead of with any sort of sound-producing． The reader　　must be able to read more than one word at a time． When looking straight or directly at only one word in a line of reading, one can clearly see at least two other words on both sides in the same line． In other words, the reader can read three words at one glance． Thus looking straight at one word one can at least take in a whole phrase or even a complete short sentence on one line． Very often less than three eye movements will cover a whole line．

1． Pointing to the lines of a reading piece _____ reading．

A． slows down B． speeds up　　 C． improves　　 D． helps

2． ____a slow way of reading．

A． Reading aloud is　　 B． Moving fingers along the lines is

C． Neither A nor B is　　 D． Both A and B are

3． Taking in _____ at a glance is required in order to read fast．

A． two words　　B． two phrases　　C． three words　　D． three phrases

4． Reading at a speed of about ____ words a minute is still regarded as slow．

A 255B．285 C． 355D． 385
