二、{{B}}第2部分：阅读判断{{/B}}(总题数：1，分数：7.00)
阅读下面这篇短文，短文后列出7个句子，请根据短文的内容对每个句子做出判断。
{{B}}Superstition(迷信){{/B}}
Sailors and fishermen in particular, have always been extremely superstitious (迷信的). This is
hardly surprising when one considers the changeable nature of the sea where, even today with sophisticated weather-forecasting techniques a sudden storm can blow up quite unexpectedly. In
the days before radio and engines, where there could be no long-distance communicating with another ship or land and when sails were the only means of movement, it was only natural for the sailor
to take every precaution to avoid offending the gods who control the sea.
One way of pleasing these gods was to make an annual offering. This custom survives in the ceremony of blessing the sea, which can still be seen once a year in some fishing ports.
Next to pleasing the sea-gods, the most important thing for the sailor is to know that his boat
is free from evil influences. The time to make sure of this is at the launching ceremony. It is clear that the well-known custom of launching a ship by breaking a bottle of champagne against
the side goes back a very long way.
On the North coast of Britain new ships are launched with sea-water, and on the North-East coast
of Scotland a similar ceremony takes place but with whisky substituted for sea-water. In both cases, the launching is followed by drinking and celebration. The purpose of these ceremonies
is to keep away evil spirits, rather than to ask for the sea-god's protection.
Starting on a new voyage or fishing trip was a dangerous business at the best of time. Once the fisherman has set out for his trip he dared not, on any account look back. It was bad luck even
to call after him, so if he had forgotten anything, someone had to urn after him and put the object into his hands.
But bad luck could also result from some chance meeting on the way to the boats. In some countries, it was considered particularly unlucky to meet a priest, a rabbit or a woman. In such an event,
the only thing to do was to turn back and sail next day.
Redheads and people with flat feet were also to be avoided, but if the fisherman did happen to meet them, he could avert bad luck by speaking to them first. For a fisherman to see a dog near
his boat was unlucky, while cats were considered lucky, especially black ones. Some fishermen's wives believed a black cat would bring their husbands back from the sea, and sometimes domestic cats disappeared from island towns and turned up in fishing villages!

{{B}}Stock exchange{{/B}}
1. Large companies need a way to reach the savings of the public at large. The same problem, on
a smaller scale, faces practically every company trying to develop new products and create new
jobs.
2. there can be little prospect of raising the sort of sums needed from friends and people we
know, and while banks may agree to provide short-term finance, they are generally unwilling to
provide money on a permanent basis for long-term projects. So companies turn to the public,
inviting people to lend them money, or take a share in the business in exchange for a share in
future profits. This they do by issuing stocks and shares in the business through The Stock Exchange. By doing so they can put into circulation the savings of individuals and institutions, both at
home and overseas.
3. When the saver needs his money back, he does not have to go to the company with whom he originally placed it. Instead, he sells his shares through a stockbroker to some other saver who is seeking
to invest his money.
4. Many of the services needed both by industry and by each of us are provided by the Government
or by local authorities. Without hospitals, roads, electricity, telephones, railways, this
country could not function. All these require continuous spending on new equipment and new development if they are to serve us properly, requiring more money than is raised through taxes alone. The Government, local authorities, and nationalised industries therefore frequently need
to borrow money to finance major capital spending, and they, too, come to The Stock Exchange.
5. There is hardly a man or woman in this country whose job or whose standard of living does not depend on the ability of his/her employers to raise money to finance new development. In one way
or another this new money must come from the savings of the country. The Stock Exchange exists
to provide a channel through which these savings can reach those who need finance.

{{B}}The Acquisition of Two Companies{{/B}}
The Provident Companies, the No. 2 seller of individual disability insurance policies, agreed yesterday to buy the No. 1 insurer in the field in a deal that would give it more than 1/3 of
