资料：No credit，bad credit Hear the terms often enough and they can blur together.These credit statuses aren’t one and the same，though.
Whether you have no credit or bad credit，one thing’s for sure：You don’t have good credit.And without good credit，you’ll face an uphill battle any time you apply for a loan or credit card.
Potential lenders will want to know that you will almost certainly repay any money that you borrow.They likely won’t risk loaning money or extending credit to those whose creditworthiness is a big question mark or，worse，who have a track record of poor money management.
If you fall into either of these categories，it’s smart to focus on raising your credit scores.
If you have no credit score，you don’t have a credit history.If you have bad credit，it’s likely that you’ve mishandled credit in the past.And these two less-than-ideal credit standings require different solutions.
If you fall in the no-credit category，you haven’t necessarily made any financial mistakes.In this case，a good way to start building that history is to acquire a credit card for people with no credit.Secured credit cards （which require a security deposit）or college student credit cards are typically the easiest to qualify for if you have no credit.A credit-builder loan can also help you establish credit.
Bad credit can be a result of financial missteps，including missing payments，defaulting on loans，or having accounts sent to collections.If you fall into this category and need credit，you’ll need to look for a bad-credit credit card.A secured card or credit-builder loan is a good option in this situation，as well.You also may qualify for a bad-credit personal loan.If you still have open accounts，pay down the balances but don’t close credit accounts if you can avoid it.
People with no credit are just starting to build their financial reputation，while those with bad credit are doing damage control.
Moving from one of these less desirable situations to a good credit standing may use different tools，but the method is much the same： Make your payments on time and keep your debt low.It takes diligence and dedication，but it can be done.
The solution（s） for Bad-credit could be______.A.having accounts sent to collections.
B.looking for a no-credit credit card.
C.paying down the balance.
D.closing your credit accounts.答案：B解析：本题考查的是细节理解。
【关键词】solution（s） for Bad-credit
【主题句】倒数第3自然段Bad credit can be a result of financial missteps，including missing payments，defaulting on loans，or having accounts sent to collections.If you fall into this category and need credit，you’ll need to look for a bad-credit credit card.A secured card or credit-builder loan is a good option in this situation，as well.You also may qualify for a bad-credit personal loan.If you still have open accounts，pay down the balances but don’t close credit accounts if you can avoid it.不良信用可能是由于财务失误造成的，包括错过付款，拖欠贷款或账户被银行托收。如果您属于此类别且需要信用，您将需要查找信用不良的信用卡。在这种情况下，担保卡或信用建设者贷款也是一个不错的选择。您也可能有资格获得不良信用的个人贷款。如果您仍有未结账户，请即时支付余额，但如果可以避免，不要关闭信用账户。
【解析】本题的问题是“不良信用的解决方案可能是_______”A选项“账户被银行托收”；B选项“寻找无信用的信用卡”；C选项“支付余额”；D选项“关闭您的信用账户”。根据题目中关键词找到主题句，A选项是导致不良信用的缘由，而非解决方案，故错误；B选项与题干“寻找信用不良的信用卡”相符，故正确；必须在有未结账户的前提下，选择支付余额，C选项缺少限制条件，故错误；D选项与题干“不要关闭信用账户”相矛盾，故错误。故选B。 -

听力原文： In the United States, even if you decide that you do not want to borrow in order to go on vacation, it is still a good idea for you to have several major credit cards. These provide positive identification when renting an automobile and can be used for the deposit.

The use of credit cards avoids the necessity of carrying large amount of cash, purchasing large amounts of traveler's cheeks and keeping track of them, or attempting to use personal checks in places other than your own locality.
Many major credit cards provide an instant cash service in case you run out of money. American Express, for example, has set up machines in major airports in which you can purchase traveler's checks using your American Express card.
21. The credit card receipts will serve as accurate record for all but which of the following choices?

If you have no credit score，you don’t have a credit history.If you have bad credit，it’s likely that you’ve mishandled credit in the past.And these two less-than-ideal credit standings require different solutions.
If you fall in the no-credit category，you haven’t necessarily made any financial mistakes.In this case，a good way to start building that history is to acquire a credit card for people with no credit.Secured credit cards （which require a security deposit）or college student credit cards are typically the easiest to qualify for if you have no credit.A credit-builder loan can also help you establish credit.
Bad credit can be a result of financial missteps，including missing payments，defaulting on loans，or having accounts sent to collections.If you fall into this category and need credit，you’ll need to look for a bad-credit credit card.A secured card or credit-builder loan is a good option in this situation，as well.You also may qualify for a bad-credit personal loan.If you still have open accounts，pay down the balances but don’t close credit accounts if you can avoid it.
People with no credit are just starting to build their financial reputation，while those with bad credit are doing damage control.
Moving from one of these less desirable situations to a good credit standing may use different tools，but the method is much the same： Make your payments on time and keep your debt low.It takes diligence and dedication，but it can be done.

【关键词】topic；not been covered
【主题句】第1自然段No credit，bad credit Hear the terms often enough and they can blur together.These credit statuses aren’t one and the same，though.经常听到无信用、不良信用这些术语，它们之间很容易混淆，但这些信用状态并不是一回事。
第2自然段Whether you have no credit or bad credit，one thing’s for sure：You don’t have good credit.And without good credit，you’ll face an uphill battle any time you apply for a loan or credit card.无论您没有信用还是信用不良，有一件事是肯定的——您没有良好的信誉。没有良好的信誉，您在申请贷款或信用卡时都势必要打一场硬战。
第6自然段If you fall in the no-credit category，you haven’t necessarily made any financial mistakes.In this case，a good way to start building that history is to acquire a credit card for people with no credit.如果您属于无信用类别，则不一定是出现了什么财务问题。在这种情况下，对于无信用的人而言，创建信用记录的一种好方法是获取信用卡。
第7自然段If you fall into this category and need credit，you’ll need to look for a bad-credit credit card.如果您属于此类别且需要信用，则需要查找不良信用的信用卡。
【解析】本题的问题是“文章中没有涉及哪个主题？”A选项“为不同信用类别的人们提供后续步骤”；B选项“没有信用和不良信用是不同的”；C选项“没有信用和不良信用是相似的”；D选项“以上所有内容已在文章中讨论过”。通读全文，作者在开头提出无信用和不良信用虽然易混，但是截然不同，并具体阐释两者共通之处和相互差异。之后，给予两种不同信用状态用户相应的解决措施和方法，因而选项A、B、C文章都谈论到，故选D。 -
第22题：
问答题Credit cards enable their holders to obtain goods and services on credit. They are issued by retail stores, banks, credit card companies to approved clients. The bank or credit card company settles the client’s bills, invoicing him monthly and charging interest on any outstanding debts. Their profit comes from the high rate of interest charged, the card holder’s subscriptions, and the fees paid by some organizations that accept cards.正确答案：
信用卡能使持卡人通过赊账的方式购买商品、得到服务。信用卡由零售商店、银行和信用卡公司发放给经过批准的客户。银行或信用卡公司结清客户的账单,按月给客户开列其消费清单,收取欠款的利息。这些金融机构的利润来自所收取的高额利息、持卡人支付的认购费以及接受信用卡消费的单位所交纳的代理费。解析： 暂无解析 -
