单选题 Text Today, most countries in the world have canals. Many countries have built canals near the coast, and parallel (26) the coast. Even in the twentieth century, goods can be moved more cheaply by boat than by any other (27) of transport. These (28) make it possible for boats to travel (29) ports along the coast without being (30) to the dangers of the open. Some canals, such as the Suez and the Panama, save ships weeks of time by making their (31) a thousand miles shorter. Other canals permit boats to reach cities that are not (32) on the coast, still other canals (33) lands where there is too much water, help to (34) fields where there is not enough water, and (35) water power for factories and mills.

These were called "canals" (41) they looked the same as canals on earth (42) are viewed from an airplane. However, scientists are now (43) that the Martian phenomena are really not canals.

单选题Students graduating from colleges today are not fully prepared to deal with the" real world". It is my belief that college students need to be taught more skills and information to enable them to meet the challenges that face everyone in daily life. The areas in which students need training are playing the credit game, planning their personal financial strategy, and consumer awareness. Learning how to obtain and use credit, cardsis probably the most valuable knowledge a young person can have. Credit card is a dangerous tool that can be of tremendous help if it is handled with caution. Having credit cards can enable people to obtain material necessities before they have the money to purchase them. But unfortunately, many young people get carried away with their handy plastic credit cards and awake one day to find they are in serious financial debt. Learning how to use credit cards properly can be a very difficult and painful lesson indeed. Of equal importance is learning how to plan a personal budget. People have to know how to control money; otherwise, it can control them. Students should learn how to set aside their money for living expenses, insurance, savings, and so forth in order to avoid the" Oh, no ! I've no money and I don't get paid again for two weeks!" anxiety conditions. Along with learning about credit and personal financial planning, graduating college students should be trained as consumers. The consumer market today is flooded with a variety of products and services of varying quality and prices. A young person entering the" real world" is suddenly faced with difficult decisions about which product to buy or whose services to engage. He is usually unaware of such things as return policies, guarantees, or repair procedures. Information of this sort is vital knowledge to everyday living. For a newly graduated college student, the" real world" can be a scary place to be when he or she is faced with such issues as handling credit, planning a budget, or knowing what to look for when making a purchase and whom to purchase it from. Entering this" real world" could be made less painful if persons were educated in dealing with these areas of daily life. What better place to accomplish this than in college?

单选题 {{B}}Simpson{{/B}} The global financial crisis of 2008—2009 began in July 2007 when a loss of confide- nce by investors in the value of securitized mortgages in the United States resulted in a liquidity crisis that prompted a substantial injection of capital into financial markets by the United States Federal Reserve, Bank of England and the European Central Bank. The TED spread, an indicator of perceived credit risk in the general economy, spiked up in July 2007, remained volatil (反复无常的) for a year, then spiked even higher in September 2008, reaching a record 4.65% on October 10, 2008. {{B}}Amy{{/B}} In September 2008, the crisis deepened, as stock markets worldwide crashed and en- tered a period of high volatility, and a considerable number of banks, mortgage lenders and insurance companies failed in the following weeks. For many months before September 2008, many business journals published commentaries warning about the financial stability and risk management practices of leading US and European investment banks, insurance firms and mortgage banks consequent to the subprime mortgage crisis (次贷抵押危机). {{B}}Oliver{{/B}} The ultimate point of origin of the great financial crisis of 2007—2009 can be traced back to an extremely indebted US economy. The collapse of the real estate market in 2006 was the close point of origin of the crisis. Beginning with failures caused by misapplication of risk controls for bad debts, collateralization (附带，并行) of debt insurance and fraud, large financial institutions in the United States and Europe faced a credit crisis and a slowdown in economic activity. {{B}}Wright{{/B}} The crisis rapidly developed and spread into a global economic shock, resulting in a number of European bank failures, declines in various stock indexes, and large reductions in the market value of equities and commodities. Moreover, the de-leveraging of financial institutions further accelerated the liquidity crisis and caused a decrease in international trade. World political leaders, national ministers of finance and central bank directors coordinated their efforts to reduce fears, but the crisis continued. {{B}}Judith{{/B}} By March 9, 2009, the Dow had fallen to 6440, a percentage decline exceeding the pace of the market's fall during the Great Depression and a level which the index had last seen in 1996. On March 10, 2009, a countertrend Bear Market Rally began, taking the Dow up to 7900 by March 26, 2009. Financial stocks were up more than 60% during this rally. By April 14, financial stocks had rallied more than 90% in just over a month. {{I}}Now match each of the persons to the appropriate statement. Note: there are two extra statements.{{/I}} {{B}}Statements{{/B}} A. After financial stocks hit the lowest on March 9, 2009, a countertrend Bear Market rally began. B. In September 2008, the crisis deepened, mortgage lenders and insurance companies failed in the following weeks. C. The crisis rapidly developed and spread into a global economic shock, because of the failures of a number of European banks. D. The crisis rapidly developed and spread into a global economic shock, leading to a number of European bank failures. E. The beginning of the global financial crisis is a loss of confidence by investors in the value of securitized mortgages in the US in July 2007. F. Many business journals published commentaries warning about the financial stability because they were able to predict the future economy. G. The ultimate point of origin of the great financial crisis of 2007—2009 can be traced back to an extremely indebted US economy.
