短文理解听力原文： The banking system of China evolved from a mono-banking system between the 1940s and the early 1970s. Not until 1978 did China's banking system make a drastic shift in its banking philosophy and structure. The shift is not only a necessity for the country's development, but also acts as a gesture showing the "openness" of the country to the outside world.Today, after nearly forty years of rapid development, China is moving towards a modem and market-oriented banking structure although there is still much to be improved to meet the needs of the country's development.In the mid 1990s, banks in China began to focus their attention on capital adequacy requirements, non-performing and bad loans, profitability and also the industry's overall expansion strategy. Reforms of monetary and financial system in China are speeding up in the 90s. Existing specialized banks gradually have become commercial banks.21. What kind of banking system did China have before the 1980s?22.Up to now, how long has China experienced rapid development?23.What are the banks in China focusing their attention on?(21)A．The same system as in the western countries.B．A mono-banking system.C．A modern banking system.D．A commercial banking system.

Banks are allowed to register either with the federal or the state authority. Let us now look at the organizational structure of Commercial Banks, which include unit banking, group banking and branch banking.The main characteristic of unit banking is that it can operate only a single full service bank from a single location.

Commonly known as the Federal Reserve Bank or the “Fed”, this is the Central Bank of the United States founded in 1913. It determines the reserve requirement within limits set by the US Congress. The function of the Fed is economic stabilization through the management of the nation’s money supply. The Federal Reserve System comprises a board of governors with 7 members stationed in Washington D.C Reserve Banks, including Boston，New York City, Dallas and San Francisco.The Federal Reserve Act（FRA）1913 set out the powers of the Fed which, on top of the regular central bank’s objectives, emphasize the following.i.Managing the monetary system and money supply of the USA;ii.Providing funds as the lender of last report;iii.Providing for an efficient cherub clearing system;iiii.Providing a rigorous banking supervision system.Which of the following is not true?（ ）A.National Banks in the USA refers to “State Banks”.B.The group banking system usually exists in the states where branch banking is prohibited.C.Stateside branching implies that bank branches are allowed to operate anywhere within the state.D.Limited branching allows bank to operate branches within geographic territories authorized by the state law.

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
