短文大意：本文介紹的是瑞士銀行業(yè)的策略及其變化。

74．答案：B

【參考譯文】瑞士銀行引以為豪的是什么？

【試題分析】本題為細(xì)節(jié)題。

【詳細(xì)解答】短文第一段首句說(shuō)”…Swiss banks had prided themselves on their system of banking secrecy and numbered accounts…．”即”瑞士的銀行以它們的銀行保密和編碼賬戶系統(tǒng)而自豪”，也就是說(shuō)瑞士的銀行在”維護(hù)客戶的信息”方面的做法值得自豪。

75．答案：D

【參考譯文】根據(jù)該短文，瑞士銀行對(duì)外國(guó)富人來(lái)說(shuō)是不可抗拒的，銀行方面對(duì)這一觀點(diǎn)是什么態(tài)度？

【試題分析】本題為細(xì)節(jié)推理題。

【詳細(xì)解答】短文第一段最后兩句說(shuō)”There was a widely-held belief that Switzerland was irresistible to wealthy foreigners, mainly because of its numbered accounts and bankers’ reluctance to ask awkward questions of depositors. Contributing to the mystique was the view, carefully propagated by the banks themselves, that if? this secrecy was ever given up, foreigners would fall over themselves in the rush to withdraw money, and the Swiss banking system would virtually collapse over night.”。這兩句的意思是，有一個(gè)普遍認(rèn)同的觀點(diǎn)，那就是瑞士銀行對(duì)外國(guó)富人來(lái)說(shuō)是不可抗拒的，因?yàn)樗麄冇镁幋a賬戶，銀行不過(guò)問(wèn)任何儲(chǔ)蓄者難以回答的問(wèn)題。銀行方面的解釋是，如果放棄了保密性，外國(guó)人將會(huì)蜂擁而至撤回資金，瑞士銀行系統(tǒng)將會(huì)一夜之間垮臺(tái)。由此可知，選項(xiàng)D”defend”（為某觀點(diǎn)辯護(hù)）”最合題意。

76．答案：C

【參考譯文】在短文最后一段，作者認(rèn)為什么？

【試題分析】本題為細(xì)節(jié)題。

【詳細(xì)解答】在此段中作者說(shuō)”Although the banks agreed to end relations with clients whose identities were unclear or who were performing improper acts, they were still not obliged to inform on a client to anyone, including the Swiss government. To some extent, therefore, the principle of secrecy had been maintained.”此句說(shuō)明契約雖然簽訂了，但銀行的保密性原則還是一如繼往。所以作者認(rèn)為”銀行政策方面的變革流于形式”。

【試題分析】本題為細(xì)節(jié)題。

78．答案：A

【參考譯文】從該短文可知，Coketown是一個(gè)什么樣的城鎮(zhèn)？

【試題分析】本題為細(xì)節(jié)推理題。

79．答案：C

【參考譯文】只有下列哪一項(xiàng)不受天氣影響？

【試題分析】本題為細(xì)節(jié)題。

【詳細(xì)解答】短文最后一段說(shuō)”But no temperature made the mad elephants more mad or more sane. Their wearisome heads went up and down at the same rate, in hot weather and in cold, wet weather and dry fair weather and foul.”由此可知，無(wú)論什么天氣，蒸汽機(jī)都以相同的速度運(yùn)轉(zhuǎn)，也就是說(shuō)，蒸汽機(jī)不受天氣的影響。

PART ⅠWRITING

SECTION A

The Importance of Extracurricular Activities

Dear Editor,

People have different ideas about how students should spend their school days. Some believe that students should spend the whole day on academic studies. Others believe that extracurricular activities should be a required part of every school day. I think both ways have their advantages. But I prefer the latter.’As a student, our main task is to concentrate on our academic study. We have to attend classes, reading books and doing assignments. Only by working hard can we learn our courses well. But I don’t think we should spend every hour and minute on academic study. A proverb says, “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.” Without good health and strong body, how can we improve our study efficiency and make great achievements in our academic study? Besides, spending the whole day on academic study may make us exhausted and weak. We should find other meaningful things to do besides studying. For example, doing extracurricular activities can make students’ life more colorful and beneficial. There are various forms of exercise. My favorite one is football. I play football with my classmates for one hour every afternoon. After a day’s hard work, how nice it is to stretch my arms and legs! By playing football I’ve got both joy and strength. I always lookenergetic.

Actually doing extracurricular activities doesn’t disturb our study if we make full use of our time. Instead it does help us study more efficiently. We can be good at learning as well as extracurricular activities. So I suggest that students do extracurricular activities along with their academic studies.

Dear George,

I have read on the notice board that the university is looking for a part-time library assistance who can work at weekends. I think you are the suitable person for this vacancy, for you are free at weekends and it pays well, yet the job is not difficult. It is also a good chance to improve yourself. So you should go for an interview.

yours,
