Today,however,all that has changed．Credit,as some observers have noted,has become a?way of life in the United States．More and more Americans now are depending on those small pieces?of plastic,credit cards,to pay for large purchases such as televisions,record players or furniture．Many people today would consider it unusual not to use a credit card to pay for a costly restaurant?dinner,a hotel room or an airline trip．And there are some situations in which Americans must have?credit cards．If they want the temporary use of a car,for example,they first must give the car rental?company the number of their credit card．That number is considered a guarantee that they will return?the car and pay for using it．
Credit cards offer two major services to Americans．First of all,they are easier and safer to?carry than large amounts of money．Second,they permit people to borrow,to have the immediate?pleasure of owning something,even if they do not have enough money to pay for it at the time．With?credit cards people pay for goods or services at the end of each month instead of when they buy them．And when the time does come to pay,most credit cards offer people a choice．They can pay all of?what they owe for the month or they can just pay usually between 5 and 10 percent of what they owe．

A:.lost
B:.had lost
C:.will lose
D:.would lose答案：D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。 -

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 -

第三篇
Swiss Banks
Since the early 1930s,Swiss banks had prided themselves on their system of banking secrecy and numbered accounts.Over the years,they had successfully withstood every challenge to this system by their own government who, in turn,had been frequently urged by foreign governments to reveal information about the financial affairs of certain account holders.The result of this policy of secrecy was that a kind of mystique had grown up around Swiss banking. 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 secret was ever given up,foreigners would fall over themselves in the rush to withdraw money,and the Swiss banking system would virtually collapse overnight.
To many,therefore,it came like a bolt out of the blue,when,in 1977,the Swiss banks announced they had signed a pact with the Swiss National Bank(the Central Bank).The aim of the agreement was to prevent the improper use of the country's bank secrecy laws, and its effect to curb （遏制）severely the system of secrecy.
The rules which the banks had agreed to observe made the opening of numbered accounts subject to much closer scrutiny than before.The banks would be required,if necessary,to identify the origin of foreign fund going into numbered and other accounts.The idea was to stop such accounts being used for dubious（可疑的）purposes.Also,they agreed not to accept funds resulting from tax evasion or from crime.
The pact represented essentially a tightening up of banking rules.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.Swiss banks took pride in________.
A:the number of their accounts
B:withholding client information
C:being mysterious to the outsiders
D:attracting wealthy foreign clients答案：B解析：文章开头就提到“prided themselves on their system of banking secrecy and numbered accounts”，瑞士银行对他们的保密系统和编号账户体系引以为自豪，而且，多年来他们已经成功地抵制了对这一体制的挑战，内容与选项B吻合。
第一段的第四句提到，瑞士银行不会向其存款人提难堪的问题，由此推断，银行不会批评或者否定自己，相反，他们会为自己辫护，所以选D。 deny：否认，criticize：批评；银行既然维护了顾客的利益，没有理由受到批评，review：复习，意思不对。
文章一开始就提及了银行保密系统的问题，并列举了此问题带来的批评和所采取的措施。文章最后一句指出，在某种程度上，保密原则得以维持，由此可以判断，银行政策的改变只是表面的、肤浅的。
第三段说到银行的一揽子规定，下面的几句详细地描述了其采取的措施，选项A、B、C的信息不完整，正确答案为D，即前面几个选项提到的内容。
文章第二段中间提到一揽子计划的目的在于“to prevent the improper use of the country's bank secrecy laws”，即对银行保密系统的不恰当的利用，而A（吸引很多的富人）、C（增加瑞士银行的账户数量）、D（为瑞士银行增添神秘色彩）意思都不恰当，所以选B。 -

Bthan online shoppers for

正确答案： E解析：
本句子是对比上的使用不正确。句中要对比的应是网上购物者2005年信用卡上的的消费与2004年信用卡上的消费，而原句将2005年网上购物者的消费与2004年作对比，不符合逻辑，因此是不正确的。 -
