Biomass energy (生物能)， often forgotten as promising alternative （替代物）to oil , received its day in the sun with the gathering of the Bio—Energy World Congress and Exposition in Atlanta ， Georgia , late in April ， 1990 . Nearly 1700 scientists , businessmen ， and policy—makers ， one—quarter from the foreign nations, gathered for a week to discuss various means of squeezing usable energy out of trees ， crops manure ， seaweed , algae and urban waste . Biomass in the United States contributes 2。5 percent of the total supply , but this amount can be doubled by 2000 and then doubled again by the year 2010.
Eight percent of Sweden’s energy supply ， for example , is presently coming from wood bark and pulp remains 。 Sweden intends to raise this percentage by more intensive harvesting of waste food lying around in forests , and through the planting of so-called energy forests of fast—growing trees such as willow and birch .
Brazil is frequently pointed to as a nation with a major successful investment （投资) in energy coming from grains ： it presently runs 330，000 automobiles on a water and alcohol (酒精） mixture ， replacing 10 percent of its previous oil supply 。 Brazilian representatives （代表) at the conference said they wish to double this in five years , with a final goal of total replacement . Most of the cars are built at the factory to use the mixture , while older models are changed through low-cost government programs 。

Insurance (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 。
49．According to this passage ， insurance is possible because 。
A．everyone at some time suffers loss
B．only a small proportion of the insured suffer loss
C．nearly everyone suffers loss
D．only insured people suffer loss
50．By “ the pool of contributions” the writer means .
A．money paid by the insured B．money paid by the insurers
C．the cost of administering insurance D．the mount of each premium
51．Old-fashioned wording is sometimes used in insurance because 。
A．insurance is old—fashioned
B．insurance has existed for a long time
C．it enables ordinary people to understand it
D．the meaning of such wording has been agreed upon
52．The writer of this passage seems to think that insurance is .
A．a form of gambling B．a way of making money quickly
C．old-fashioned D．useful and necessary

From good reading we can get pleasure ， companionship ， experience and instruction 。 A good book may absorb our attention so completely that for the time being we forget our surroundings and even ourselves 。 Reading good books is one of the greatest pleasures in life . It increases our contentment when we are cheerful ， and lessens our trouble when we are sad . Whatever may be our main purpose in reading ， our contact with good books should never fail to give us enjoyment and satisfaction .
With a good book in our hands we need never be lonely . Whether the characters portrayed are taken from real life or purely imaginary ， they may become our companions and friends 。 In the pages of books we can walk with the wise and the good of all lands and all times . The people we meet in books may delight us either because they resemble （像) human friends whom we hold dear or because they present unfamiliar types whom we are glad to welcome as new acquaintances (相识) . Our human friends sometimes may bore us , but the friends we make in books need never weary us with their company . By turning the page we can dismiss without any fear of hurting their feelings . When human friends desert (抛弃) us ， good books are always ready to give us friendship , sympathy and encouragement .
One of the most valuable gifts bestowed （授予） by books is experience 。 Few of us can travel far from home or have a wide range of experiences ， but all of us can lead varied lives through the pages of books . whether we wish to escape from the seemingly dull realities of everyday life or we long to visit some far-off place ， a book will help us when nothing else can 。 To travel by book we need no bank account to pay our way , no airship or ocean liner or stream—lined train to transport us , no passport to enter the land of our hearts’ desire .
