解析
小题1:D 推理题。根据文章第三段You can prevent this kind of unproductive outgo on your payroll by providing your key man with the protection of Travelers Business Accident Insurance! 说明这是一个卖保险的广告。故D正确。
小题2:A 推理题。通过文章1,2段所叙述可知这家保险公司会提供一些意外事故的保险。故A正确。
小题3:C 推理题。根据文章第二段Then you’d be faced with double paying for one job because stopping the pay of an injured man说明这里的You指公司的老板。故本文是写给老板的。
小题4:D 推理题。原来的负责人出了事故住院不能上班，你要找另外一个人做他的工作，那么你要付两份的工资来做一份的事情。故D正确。
小题5:C 细节题。根据文章倒数第二行let us tell you how little it costs to apply this much needed protection to your business.说明这种保险的费用并不高。故C正确。
点评：文章介绍了一种新型的保险—为公司员工的意外事故保险。要求考生在第二段就要理解文章的实质，有一定的思维转换能力。对细节的考查仍然是重点，如75题。
