PART FOUR WRITING

SECTION A

Directions: Read the following passage. Complete the diagram by using the information for the passage.

Write NO MORE THAN 3 WORDS for each answer

Life policies(人寿保险) differ from other forms of insurance in several ways. They are not contracts of indemnity (补偿合同), so there is theoretically no limit to the amount of insurance, or the number of policies, that may be taken out on a particular life.

There are some forms of life policy.

An endowment policy is a useful way of saving. It is property that may be used as security against a loan, and after a few years it acquires a surrender value(退保金): in other words you can cancel the policy and get back a large amount of money you have paid.

Participating, or with-profits endowment policies are even more attractive, since the sum assured is increased every year by a bonus based on the profits made by the company. The bonus can be paid as a lump sum (i.e. an amount of money that is paid at a time and not on separate occasions) at the end of the insurance, or used to reduce the annual premium(保险费)． It can even be fixed sum which is agreed ahead of time, without regard to actual profits.

　　　 Another special type of life policy, often taken out by people who have no dependants, is the annuity. In the simplest form you pay a lump sum to the insurance company, and then receive a fixed annual payment until your death. Clearly this is something of a risk, but the risky element may be removed if the company offers to pay a fixed sum either to you or your heirs(继承人) for a fixed number of years. Other forms are the deferred annuity, when payment does not start until so many years after the premium is paid, and the reversionary annuity, which is payable on the death of a third party. All annuities, however, must be considered somewhat risky and decreasing money values.

SECTION B

Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage and the required words limit. Write your answers on your answer sheet.

Facts are sometimes more unusual than fiction. The following case makes Agatha Christie’s plot look like children’s literature.

The medical inspection of Ronald Opus’s body showed that he died from a shot gun wound of the head. He had jumped from the top of a ten-storey building intending to commit suicide. As he fell past the ninth floor, a shotgun blast through a window killed him instantly. Neither the shooter nor Opus knew that a safety net had been put up at the eighth floor level to protect some window washers and that Opus would not have been able to complete his suicide anyway because of this.

　　　 The room on the ninth floor where the shotgun blast went through was occupied by an elderly man and his wife. They were arguing and he was threatening her with the shotgun. He was so upset that when he pulled the trigger(扳机), he completely missed his wife and the pellets(小子弹) went through the window, striking the falling Opus.

　　　 The old man said it was his long-term habit to threaten his wife with the unloaded shotgun. He had no intention to murder her. Therefore, the killing of Opus appeared to be an accident. That is, the gun had been accidentally loaded.

　　　 The continuing investigation turned up a witness who saw the old couple’s son loading the shotgun approximately six weeks before the fatal incident. It turned out that the old lady had cut off his son’s financial support and the son, knowing the habit of his father to use the shotgun threateningly against his mother, loaded the gun with the expectation that his father would shoot his mother.

　　　 Further investigation revealed that the son had become increasingly depressed over the failure of his attempt to engineer his mother’s murder. This led him to jump off the ten-storey building, only to be killed by a shotgun blast through a ninth floor window.

　　　 The case was closed as a suicide.
