解析:本题考查的是细节理解。
【关键词】topic;not been covered
【主题句】第1自然段No credit,bad credit Hear the terms often enough and they can blur together.These credit statuses aren’t one and the same,though.经常听到无信用、不良信用这些术语,它们之间很容易混淆,但这些信用状态并不是一回事。
第2自然段Whether you have no credit or bad credit,one thing’s for sure:You don’t have good credit.And without good credit,you’ll face an uphill battle any time you apply for a loan or credit card.无论您没有信用还是信用不良,有一件事是肯定的——您没有良好的信誉。没有良好的信誉,您在申请贷款或信用卡时都势必要打一场硬战。
第6自然段If you fall in the no-credit category,you haven’t necessarily made any financial mistakes.In this case,a good way to start building that history is to acquire a credit card for people with no credit.如果您属于无信用类别,则不一定是出现了什么财务问题。在这种情况下,对于无信用的人而言,创建信用记录的一种好方法是获取信用卡。
第7自然段If you fall into this category and need credit,you’ll need to look for a bad-credit credit card.如果您属于此类别且需要信用,则需要查找不良信用的信用卡。
【解析】本题的问题是“文章中没有涉及哪个主题?”A选项“为不同信用类别的人们提供后续步骤”;B选项“没有信用和不良信用是不同的”;C选项“没有信用和不良信用是相似的”;D选项“以上所有内容已在文章中讨论过”。通读全文,作者在开头提出无信用和不良信用虽然易混,但是截然不同,并具体阐释两者共通之处和相互差异。之后,给予两种不同信用状态用户相应的解决措施和方法,因而选项A、B、C文章都谈论到,故选D。

SECTION A MINI-LECTUREDirections: In this section you sill hear a mini-lecture. You will hear the lecture ONCE ONLY. While listening, take notes on the important points. Your notes will not be marked, but you will need them to complete a gap-filling task after the mini-lecture. When the lecture is over, you will be given two minutes to check your notes, and another ten minutes to complete the gap-filling task on ANSWER SHEET ONE. Use the blank sheet for note-taking.听力原文: Good morning, everyone. First about your second assignment. I'd like to remind you that your second assignment should be in by next Fri day. You can either put it in my pigeon hole, or leave it with the Department's secretary. Now, let's get down to the lecture.Today, the lecture is on credit, er, or to be more specific, on credit cards. I'm sure you must have heard of some credit cards, like the VI SA card, which is an internationally used card, or the Great Wall card issued by the Bank of China, In order to give a better understanding, we'll discuss it in some detail.Many businesses, such as department stores, restaurants, hotels and airline companies, use a credit system for selling their products and services. In a credit system, the seller agrees to sell something to the buyer without immediately receiving cash. He receives the goods or ser vices immediately and promises to pay for them later. This buy-now-pay later credit system is quite old.There are two types of credit cards. One type is issued directly by a store to a customer. Many large department stores issue credit cards to their customers. The store credit card can be used to make purchases only at a particular store. For example, if you have a credit card from Store A, then you can only buy things in that store. Other stores would not accept it. The other kind of credit card is issued by a credit company. Credit cards from credit companies can be used to buy things almost anywhere. If you have a major credit card, you can buy airplane tickets, stay at hotels and eat at restaurant with it. Most large credit companies are connected to large banks. So if you want a credit card from a credit company, you generally have to make an application at a bank. After an applicant receives a credit card, he or she can make purchases using thecard.The credit company sends the customer a statement of purchases at the end of each month. Generally the customer has to pay 25--50% of their credit hill every month. The customer pays directly to the credit company and the credit company pays to the store or hotel or restaurant.There are some advantages and some disadvantages to using credit cards. The biggest advantage for the consumer is expressed by the phrase "buy now, pay later". This means that the consumer can purchase what he wants when he wants it. There is no need to save up money in advance. Another advantage of having a credit card is that it protects the owner, ff a credit card is lost or stolen, the owner only has to call the credit company and the credit company will stop the credit card number. No one else can use it. So the owner doesn't have to worry about losing the card. Another advantage of the credit card system is that the consumer receives a record of his or her purchases. Every month the credit customer receives a bill. The bill has a list of all purchases from that month. This makes it easier to remember when and where purchases are made. And another advantage is that credit cards can be used when something unexpected happens. Many kinds of professional people—plumbers, taxidrivers, doctors and dentists—will accept credit cards in an emergency. This is very important if you don't have any cash with you.However, having said all that, using credit cards has one major disadvantage. That is, consumers tend to overspend their money. They spend more than they make. If a consumer buys a lot of th

As recently as three decades ago,many Americans believed that using credit was an unwise and?dangerous way to pay for what they bought.Some even thought that owing money to a store or a?credit company was something to be ashamed of.Good citizens,they believed,always bought what?they wanted with real money and they paid the full price immediately.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.What advantage can credit card holders have?A.They can choose not to pay for their purchases.B.They can easily borrow money at a lower interest.C.They can own something before they actually pay for it.D.They can pay only a small amount of what they owe.
