In the few minutes that remain of today's class, I'd like to discuss next week's schedule with you. Because I'm presenting a paper at a conference in Detroit on Thursday, I won't be here for either Wednesday's or Friday's class. I will, however, be here for Monday's. Next Friday, a week from today, is the midterm exam, marking the halfway point in the semester. Professor Andrews has agreed to administer the exam. In place of the usual Wednesday class, I've arranged an optional review session. Since it is optional, attendance will not be taken; however, attending the class would be a good idea for those worried about the midterm. So, remember: optional class next Wednesday; midterm, Friday.

I hope you've all finished reading the assigned chapter on insurance so that you're prepared for our discussion today. But, before we start, I'd like to mention a few things your text doesn't go into. It's interesting to note that insurance has existed in some form for a very long time. The earliest insurance policies were what we called bottomry contracts. They provided shipping protection for merchants as far back as 3000 B.C. In general, the contracts were often no more than verbal agreements. They granted loans to merchants with the understanding that if a particular shipment of goods was lost at sea, the loan didn't have to be repaid. Interest on the loans varied according to how risky it was to transport the goods. During periods of heavy piracy at sea, for example, the amount of interest and the cost of the policy went up considerably. So, you can see how insurance helped encourage international trade. Even the most cautious merchants became willing to risk shipping their goods over long distances, not to mention in hazardous weather conditions when they had this kind of protection available. Generally speaking, the basic form of an insurance policy has been pretty much the same since the Middle Ages. There are four points that were salient then and remain paramount in all policies today. These were outlined in chapter six and will serve as the basis for the rest of today's discussio...

新托福老托福有何區(qū)別。新老托福區(qū)別是全方面的，從考試題型和考試重點來看，都存在著差異。下面我們來詳細分析。
Q：新托福VS老托福最主要的區(qū)別是什么?
A：老T是筆試 PBT(Paper-based Test), 機考是 CBT (Computer-based Test), 新T是屬于網(wǎng)考 (Internet-Based Test).是將在具有因特網(wǎng)接入條件的計算機上進行?？荚囍忻恳徊糠珠_始前，會有英文文字提示，告知考生如何回答問題。
Q：新托福包括哪幾部分?
A：新T包括：聽力、口語、閱讀、寫作四部分。改變了原有的純語法題，但是增加了我們中國學生普遍吃力的口語。
Q：新托福如何記分?
A：新T總共四部分。每部分30分。滿分120分。
Q：新托福的成績單有何變化嗎?
A：有的。原來我們的成績單就是每部分的分數(shù)+作文分。現(xiàn)在，除了給出考生四個部分的成績之外，每項考核還附有文字說明。這些說明是對考生各種能力的優(yōu)缺點加以概括性的評估。
Q：新托?？荚嚂r間長度是怎樣的?
A：新托福從原來140分鐘的考試時間延長到4個小時。在一天內(nèi)完成?？梢娦耇不僅是腦力活，也是體力活，對學生的身體素質(zhì)提出較高要求。
Q：新托福題目的選題內(nèi)容有何變化嗎?
A：內(nèi)容的變化基本不會太大。以北美學生學習生活為主要內(nèi)容。內(nèi)容主要涵蓋：教育、人文、商業(yè)、工程技術(shù)、自然科學和社會研究六大類。
Q：新TOEFL考試增加了口語考試，那么TSE還有必要參加嗎?TSE考試會被取消嗎?
A：如果考生新TOEFL考試成績達到申請美國大學的水平以后，可以不必再考TOEFL的口語TSE。但是如果考生是為了職業(yè)或商業(yè)目的，還可以繼續(xù)選擇TSE考試。06年，在我們國家TSE不會隨新TOEFL的出現(xiàn)而取消。 但是，在不久的將來，會被新T的口語取代。但是，原來考過的成績兩年內(nèi)還是有效的。
Q：新TOEFL實行后，北美學校對成績的要求會有怎樣的變化呢?
A：在2005年北美新托福考試成績發(fā)布后，各院校紛紛制定了自身在新托福網(wǎng)考總體成績與分項最低分上的錄取要求。從新TOEFL最大的改變——增加口語考試來看，各高校均十分重視考生的口語與寫作能力。具有良好的自我表達能力的留學申請者，將從考試到申請過程中具有較大的優(yōu)勢。從公布的新托福分數(shù)要求來看，美國一些名校對新托福的要求看似并不高。 大部分院校只要求80分，相當于老托福考到550分。
但是中國考生的分數(shù)一向相對較高，如要獲得哈佛等名校的錄取，沒有考到新托福100分以上是比較困難的。另外，希望考生格外注意口語寫作的分數(shù)。
了解新老托福區(qū)別，有助于我們更有針對性的應(yīng)對托?？荚嚒Ｈf變不離其中，只要有針對性的備考。相信就一定能通過托福考試。
