单选题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 t o 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 l ightening 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 t o anyone，including the Swiss government．To some extent，therefore，the principle of secrecy had been maintained．

单选题Arthur Miller(1915-2005)is universally recognized as one of the greatest dramatists of the 20th century. Miller's father had moved to the USA from Austria-Hungary, drawn like so many others by the "Great American Dream." However, he experienced severe financial hardship when his family business was ruined in the Great Depression of the early 1930s. Miller's most famous play, Death of a Salesman, is a powerful attack on the American system with its aggressive way of doing business and its insistence on money and social status as indicators of worth. In Willy Lowman, the hero of the play, we see a man who has got into double with his worth. Willy is "burnt out" and in the cruel world of business there is no room for sentiment: if he can't do the work, then he is no good to his employer, the Wagner Company, and he must go. Willy is painfully aware of this, and at loss as to what to do with his lack of success. He refuses to face the fact that he has failed and kills himself in the end. When it was first staged in 1949, the play was greeted with enthusiastic reviews, and it won the Tony Award for Best Play, the New York Drama Critics' Circle Award, and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama. It was the first play to win all three of these major awards. Miller died of heart failure at his home in Roxbury, Connecticut, on the evening of February 10, 2005, the 56th anniversary of the first performance of Death of a Salesman on Broadway.

单选题 Forget Twitter and Facebook, Google and the Kindle. Television is still the most influential medium around. Indeed, not many of the poorest regions (地区) of the world, it remains the next big thing—finally becomes globally available. And that is a good thing, because the TV revolution is changing lives for the better. Across the developing world, around 45% of families had a TV in 1995; by 2005 the number had climbed above 60%. That is some way behind the U.S., where are more TVs than people, and where people now easily get access to the Internet. Five million more families in sub-Saharan Africa will get a TV over the next five years. In 2005, after the fall of the Taliban (塔利班), which had {{U}}outlawed{{/U}} TV, 1 in 5 Afghans had one. The global total is another 150 million by 2013—pushing the numbers to well beyond two thirds of families. Television's most powerful effect will be on the lives of women. In India, researchers Robert Jensen and Emily Oster found that when TVs reached villages, women were more likely to go to the market without their husbands approval and less likely to want a boy rather than a girl. They were more likely to make decisions over child healthcare. TV is also a powerful medium for adult education. In the Indian state of Gujarat, Chitrageet is a popular show that plays Bollywood songs with words in Gujarati on the screen. Within six months, viewers had made a small but significant (有意义的) improvement on their reading skills. Too much TV has been associated with violence, overweight and loneliness. However, TV is having a positive influence on the lives of billions worldwide.
