One should buy the
40、 policies that give the most protection at the least cost, ensure the right family members, and consider the familys financial needs. It is important to buy the insurance from companies that are financially sound and that are represented by honest, well-trained agents. At various stages in a persons
41、 life, different kinds of life insurance are needed for particular situations. (16)Jerry is single and has no dependents. Probably the only life insurance he needs is enough to cover his debts and burial expenses. Insurance can be purchased at a lower rate during the young years, but by buying while
42、 young, the premiums are paid in for a longer period of time. In the end, the amount paid for premiums is about the same. A person shouldnt buy insurance protection that really isnt necessary. Suppose that Jerry marries Jeannette, who is a college graduate and is working. Perhaps enough insurance wo
43、uld be needed to cover their debts and burial expenses. Now, Jeannette has quit work and their first child is on the way. They have purchased a home with a small down payment and a 30-year mortgage. The situation regarding life insurance takes on a different look. There are dependents who need finan
44、cial protection. How much insurance is needed? (17)As the family increases in size, it is essential to add more insurance on the breadwinner to protect the dependents. When the children are young and depend upon the family for financial needs, families with modest incomes have difficulty providing e
45、nough life insurance to protect the mother and the children. Families with modest incomes should insure the breadwinner or breadwinners first. When considering the amount of insurance for the mother with dependent children, substitute child care is a need that should be planned for until the childre
46、n can care for themselves. The death of a small child would have no effect upon the income of the family. Perhaps a policy to meet funeral expenses would be sufficient for the young child, although most people do not take out insurance on their young children. (18)As the children become financially
47、independent of the family, the emphasis on family financial security will shift from protection to saving for the retirement years. Every family situation is different, but it is important that each family give adequate thought to planning its financial future. Questions 16 to 18 are based on the re
48、cording you have just heard. 未听先知：未听先知：预览三道题各选项，有选项中的 ensures 和反复出现的 insurance 等词可以初步推测，讲座内容与保险有关。结合第 16 题各选项语义可推测，本题可能考查应该购买什么险种；第 17 题各选项均为动词短语，考查行为动作，结合本篇讲座的主题“保险”基本可以排除 B 和 C，再从 A 和 D 的语义可推断，本题很有可能考查为谁买保险；第 18 题各选项均为 When 开头，且语义中均好友可能对保险产生影响的情况，因此本题可能考查什么时候保险会出现变动。 16.What life insurance should
49、a single person buy, according to the speaker? 答案：C 详解：讲话者以 Jerry 为例进行讲述：Jerry 单身且无家属，所以他可能仅需要能够抵债以及支付葬礼费用的保险。因此答案为 C。 17.What should people do as their family increases in size? 答案：D 详解：讲座中提到，Jerry 的生活发生了变化，他结婚生子，并且贷款买了房子，妻子也不再工作，全家的经济负担现在都由他来承担。讲话者认为，随着家庭成员的增加，挣钱养家的人应该追加更多保险，这样才能为其他家庭成员提供足够的保障。因此答
50、案为 D。 18.When should one change their life insurance? 答案：A 详解：讲座末尾指出，当子女经济独立后，家庭的经济保险重点也应该由提供保障转向为退休后的生活而存钱。讲座中的 become financially independent of the family 与 A 选项中的 their children grow up and leave home 虽然不是直接的同义转述，但所表达的都是子女在经济上不依赖于父母，已经可以独立的意思，因此答案为 A。 Recording Two (19-1) “Stereotype” may sound
