考题 Large companies need a way to reach the savings of the public.The same problem, on a smaller scale, faces practically every company trying to develop new products and create new jobs.There can be little prospect of raising the sort of sums needed from friends and people we know, and while banks may agree to provide short-term finance, they are generally unwilling to provide money on a permanent basis for long-term projects.So companies turn to the public, inviting people to lend them money, or take a share in the business in exchange for a share in future profits.This they do by issuing stocks and shares in the business through the Stock Exchange.By doing so they can put into circulation the savings of individuals and institutions, both at home and overseas.When the saver needs his money back, he does not have to go to the company with whom he originally placed it.Instead, he sells his shares through a stockbroker to some other saver who is seeking to invest his money.Many of the services needed both by industry and by each of us are provided by the Government or by local authorities.Without hospitals, roads, electricity, telephones, railway, this country could not function.All these require continuous spending on new equipment and new development if they are to serve us properly, requiring more money than is raised through taxes alone.The Government, local authorities, and nationalized industries therefore frequently need to borrow money to finance major capital spending, and they, too, come to the Stock Exchange.There is hardly a man or woman in this country whose job or whose standard of living does not depend on the ability of his or her employers to raise money to finance new development.In one way or another this new money must come from the savings of the country.The Stock Exchange exists to provide a channel through which these savings can reach those who need finance.1、The money which enables those companies to go ahead with their projects is().A、exchanged for part ownership in the Stock ExchangeB、raised by the selling of shares in the companiesC、repaid to its original owners as soon as possibleD、invested in different companies in the Stock Exchange2、All the essential services on which we depend are().A、unable to provide for the needs of the populationB、financed wholly by rates and taxesC、in constant need of financial supportD、run by the government or local organizations3、The Stock Exchange makes it possible for the Government, local authorities and nationalized industries().A、to make certain everybody saves moneyB、to borrow as much money as they wishC、to make certain everybody lends money to themD、to raise money to finance new development

考题根据以下内容，回答233-236题。 The Hidden Price Tag For many small or recently established businesses, finding sources of capital can be difficult. Companies are often in need of funds before they can build a stable customer base, so they are forced to turn to investors. Many such businesses soon discover, however, that this borrowed money can come at a high price. If entrepreneurs are not careful about which investors they do business with, their companies can suffer the consequences. The most common problem, according to financial experts, are investment deals that allow the investor to take control of key operations away from the company's management. Struggling firms and new businesses facing mounting start-up costs can be easily tempted to take the offer that provides them with the most money, regardless of the deal's conditions. Unfortunately, the biggest investment usually comes with the most strings attached. For example, some deals give the venture capital finn seats on the board of the company it invests in. From this position, the investor has the ability to control all aspects of a company's operations,including decisions concerning mergers or sales. This situation may remain tolerable as long as the investor and the management share the same goals. Yet, the investor will inevitably choose to protect its own interests over those of the company, creating a conflict that the company is then helpless to prevent. The best advice analysts have for businesses seeking investment capital is to thoroughly analyze any deal before agreeing to it. Sometimes, the control that must be given up is worth much more than the money being offered. Who would be most interested in this article?A.An analyst working for an investment finn B.A member on the board of a successful company C.A representative of a large venture capital group D.An entrepreneur in need of funds for a new business

考题共用题干第三篇Swiss BanksSince 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 theview,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 are tightening its banking rules by________.A:examining the origin of foreign funds before going into accountsB:preventing doubtful accounts from going into the bankC:refusal of funds from crimes or tax evasionsD:all of the above

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 theview,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.The purpose of the pact signed with the Swiss National Bank was________.A:to attract more wealthy foreigners to the bankB:to stop improper use of the banking secrecy laws of the countryC:to increase the numbered accounts of the Swiss BanksD:to add mystery to Swiss Banks

考题单选题请阅读 Passage 2，完成第 26~30小题。Passage 2Paper money is used every day but people do not often think of money as just paper.This is because people agree that it has value，and paper money is supported by the government.People have used paper money for only a few hundred years，but what did people do before printed money was invented? In Medieval England，a stick was the official representation of money. The common system that was used involved counting debt on a piece of wood called a "tally stick". The tally stick was marked with a knife.Each mark，or tally，indicated an amount of money.The tally stick acted as a contract.No one really knows who invented the tally stick，but King Henry I of England is credited as the first to use the stick in a widespread fashion.In England，the tally stick was used from 1100-1826.Marks were made on a tally stick to represent the amount of service or goods that were exchanged.The tally stick was cut in halflengthwise into two parts，and one stick was longer than the other.The person giving services or goods received the longer end of the stick，called the "stock"，and the person paying for the service or goods received the shorter end.Once the stick was cut，it could not be altered.When put together，the two halves fit perfectly together.Medieval England was not the only country to use the tally stick system.In 1960，Belgian scientist Jean de Heinzelin de Braucourt discovered an extremely old tally stick made of baboon bone in Africa.At first，he determined the stick to be between about 8，000 to 10，000 years old.This surprised many people because it proved that the tally stick system had been in use for much longer than everyone had previously thought.Further research has shown that this stick is actually much older: now，scientists believe it is 20，000 years old.The tally stick system may no longer be in use today，but its influence is still apparent.People still make contracts and people still borrow and lend money.People still trust that "things"-whether they are sticks，paper，or coins-have value.The next time paper money is used，just remember: it is only paper!According to the passage，what makes money valuable?A People who use it.B Gold that people find.C Inventions.D Agreement.
