问题 资料：（一）Insurance 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 of money 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 money. This is the basis of insurance, Those who pay the contribution are known as “insured”and those who administer the pool of contributions as ”insurers”.Not all risks can be 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, 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. It states that in return for the regular payment by the insured of a certain 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 actually happens. The wording of policies, particularly in marine insurance, often seems very old-fashioned, but there is a sound reason of 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 have given these phrases a definite and indisputable meaning, and to avoid future disputes the phrases have continued to be used in polices even when they have passed out of normal use in speech.Old-fashioned wording is sometimes used in insurance policies because______.A.law courts have decided not to use fashionable wordsB.it is widely accepted by all the insuredC.it enables ordinary people to understand it easilyD.the meaning of such wording has been agreed upon
选项 A.law courts have decided not to use fashionable words

解析 本题考查的是细节理解。
【关键词】 Old-fashioned wording;in insurance policies; because
【主题句】第3自然段 The wording of policies, particularly is marine insurance, often seems very old-fashioned, but there is a sound reason of 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 have given these phrases a definite and indisputable meaning.保险单上的措辞，尤其是航海保险，常常显得很过时，但这有充分的理由。多年来，许多法律案例被提出，以澄清保险单上可疑短语的含义。法庭赋予这些短语明确无可争辩的含义。
【解析】本题的问题是“保险单上有时使用过时词语，原因是_______”。 A选项“法庭决定不使用时髦词语”；B选项“它被所有的被保险人广泛接受”；C选项“它使普通人能够轻松理解”；D选项“此类词语的含义已被确定”。根据题目中关键词找到主题句，主题句中，使用过时词语的原因是此类词语含义清晰，不会引起矛盾。故D选项正确。
