听力原文： A certificate of deposit (CD) is a time deposit with a bank. Time deposits may not be withdrawn on demand like a check account. CDs are generally issued by commercial banks but they can be bought through brokerages. They bear a specific maturity date that usually lasts from 3 months to 5 years, a specified interest rate, and can be issued in any denomination, very similar to bonds. CDs offer a slightly higher yield than T-Bills because of the slightly higher default risk for a bank, but overall the likeliness of a large bank going broke is pretty slim. Of course, the amount of interest you earn depends on a number of factors such as the current interest rate environment, how much money you invest, the length of time, and your specific bank.
24. What is a CD?
25.Which of the followings generally issue CDs?
26.How long does a specific maturity usually last?
27.Why do CDs pay higher return to investors than T-bills?
(24)
A．A term deposit that can be drawn at any time.
B．A time deposit with a bank.
C．A current deposit.
D．A cheek account.

听力原文： When a savings account is opened in a bank, the depositor must sign a deposit agreement. By signing agreement, the depositor agrees to abide by the rules and regulations of the bank. At this time, a passbook may be given to the depositor. This is a small book in which the bank teller enters the date and amount of each deposit or withdrawal and initials the entry. The passbook is to be presented at the bank or mailed to the bank along with a deposit or withdrawal slip each time money is deposited or withdrawn from the account. An alternative practice for depositing or withdrawing money from a savings account is to give the depositor a small register for recording deposits and withdrawals and a pad of deposit withdrawal rotors. This procedure eliminates the use of the passbook.

A: repaid
B: deposited
C:.found
D:.saved答案：A解析：从后文可知，本句是条件从句，条件从句应当由if引导。
从货款这个概念应当推断出，应当是归还，而不是存储或者发现。
本句前一部分和后一部分是因果关系，应当用because引导这个从句，because of后面跟的是名词或名词性短语，而不是从句。
我们从整个句子的语态来看，本句是虚拟语气，应当选D。此外，根据前一部分“the band would soon be unable to meet withdrawals”中的语态，我们也能做出相应的判断。
call on意为“号召，呼吁”;call for意为“要求，提倡”;call off意为“放弃，取消”; call in意为“召回，收回”。根据题意，银行应当采取相应的收回货款的措施，因此选D。
reach peak是固定用法，例如：Sales have reached a new peak. 销售额已达到新高。
不定式符号to后面跟动词原形，所以选择C。
表达“对于……有信心”应当用介词in，即confidence in(后接名词，表示对……有信心），例如：She lacks confidence in herself．她缺乏自信心。
这里应当用指示代词来组成一个名词词组，并不是构成一个从句，并且后面跟同位语短语，所以选B。
upto意为“达……之多”，符合题意。“as many as”用于可数名词前，如果选项中有“as mucn as”，则也是正确的，因为钱是不可数名词。
has已经提示了此处应当用动词的过去分词形式表达现在完成时语态。
根据上下文，此处是指自从建立了保险制度以来，银行破产的个案是减少了，而不是增加或者消失。
根据上下文，此处表达否定意思“不再”，所以选C。
be/become concerned about意为“担心；担忧；挂念”，例如：We're rather concerned a- bout father's health．我们相当担心父亲的健康。be/become concerned in sth．意为“和某 事有牵连”。be/become concerned with意为“牵涉，与……有关，参与”。
根据上下文，此处表达“可能性”之意，所以选择possibility。 -
