Ⅵ.Read the following passages and complete the statements or answer the questions with the
correct choice. Write your right letter on the Answer Sheet:(20%)
Passage 1
Time was—and not so many years ago, either—when the average citizen took a pretty dim view of banks and banking. That this was so, it should be said, was to no small extent the fault of banks and bankers themselves. Banks used to be—and a few still are—forbidding structures. Behind the little barred windows were, more often than not, elderly gentlemen whose expression of friendliness showed the size of the customer’s account, and nothing less than a few hundred thousand in the bank could have inspired the suggestion of a smile.
And yet the average bank for many years was, to the average citizen, a fearful, if necessary, instrument for dealing business—usually big business. But somewhere in the past quarter century, banks began to grow human, even pleasant, and started to attract the little man. It is possible that this movement began in medium-sized towns, or in small towns where people know each other by their first names, and spread to big towns, at any rate, the results have been remarkable. The movement to “humanize” banks, of course, received a big push during the war, when more and more women were hired to do work previously performed by men. Also more and more “little” people found themselves in need of personal loans, as taxes became heavier and as the practice of installment(分期付款) buying broke down the previously long-held view that there was something almost morally wrong about being in debt. All sorts of people began to discover that the wise use of credit(信用卡) could be extremely helpful.
1.The author believes that the unfriendly atmosphere in banks many years ago was chiefly due to _____.
A. unfriendliness of customers toward banks B. the outer appearance of bank buildings C. economic pressure of the time D. the attitude of bankers
2.The banks of many years ago showed interest only in _____. A. regular visitors B. elderly gentlemen C. friendly businessmen D. rich customers 3.When did banks begin to grow human A. During the war. B. A few years ago. C. Some time before the war. D. In the last century. 4.What helped to push the “humanization” of banks
A. More and more “little” people became customers of banks. B. The elderly gentlemen in banks were replaced by women. C. Most banks were set up in small and medium-sized towns. D. The size of the customer’s account was greatly increased.
5.Average people seldom borrowed money from banks in the past because _____. A. the bank buildings looked forbidding
B. they were comparatively rich before the war
C. they rarely spent more than they could earn D. they thought it was not proper to be in debt
Passage 2
The Gulf War changed the lives of ordinary people, many of whom lived far from Kuwait or Iraq. In this eight-part series, correspondents visit individuals and families who have had to alter completely their plans and life styles as a result of the war.
We hear, for example, from an Iraqi Kurdish family who escaped across the snow-covered mountains to Turkey, losing everything they had accumulated over more than 20 years. John Renner visits them in their small tent in the heat and dust of a refugee camp where they are desperately hoping that some Western country will offer them shelter.
There is a Palestinian family which lived and worked in Kuwait and cannot return. They have lost friends, family, their living and a way of life. And what about the US serviceman and his family who had heard little about Kuwait before the invasion Do they think it worthwhile and how easy was it to fit back into their old routine(日常事务) after their experiences of the war
John Renner meets an Asian maid who worked in the Gulf and supported her family at home with her salary. Is she thinking of going back, or has she been put off by the experience of escaping and the horror stories of exploitation(剥削) in Kuwait
These are just some of the people who are heard in the series which are produced by Lindsey Hilsum.
