27、with the bank s money; and defaults by counter-parties to forward exchange contracts and covering transactions. These risks were well illustrated by events in 1974 : Bankhaus Herstatt, cologne, collapsed due largely to losses on its foreign exchange exposures; Lloyds Bank, Lugano, lost USD77 million
28、 due to unauthorised trading by staff. Herstatt s closure by the Bundesbank during working hours left many banks with unfulfilled foreign exchange transactions. Since then banks and authorities have tightened their control. Banks still take a position on foreign currencies and put traders on commiss
29、ion to speculate on their behalf, but mainly on within-day trading or on overnight positions. On longer-term positions banks aim to match liabilities and claims in a particular currency or cover the difference in the swap market. 54 Banks in international lending face the risks common to all banks;
30、liquidity risk, interest rate risk, credit(asset)risk, and contingent liabilities risk. （ A） Right （ B） Wrong （ C） Doesnt say 55 Banks face losses from three sources; their own position; dealing positions taken by employees, and defaults by counter parties to forward exchange contracts and covering
31、transactions. （ A） Right （ B） Wrong （ C） Doesnt say 56 If employees of a bank gamble in foreign exchange dealings with the bank s money, the bank will suffer heavy losses of foreign currencies. （ A） Right （ B） Wrong （ C） Doesnt say 56 A credit card is a plastic card(or its equivalent)to be used upon
32、 presentation by the cardholder to obtain money, goods, or services, possibly under a line of credit established by the card issuer. The cardholder is billed for any outstanding balance. Credit card customers are given a credit limit on the credit card account and can buy goods and services up to th
33、is amount. Normally, banks will set different credit lines to the different groups of cardholders. Every time cardholder uses a credit card for purchasing, he/she must sign a sales slip in the presence of the seller, and the signature is then compared to the signature on the card. Copies of the sale
34、s slips have the details of the card and they also show the details and amount of the sale. Each month the cardholder receives a statement from the bank which details all the transactions in the month, together with the total amount outstanding and any minimum amount that needs to be paid. When the
35、full balance is not settled each month, the cardholder is charged a compound interest“(say 0. 05%)on the outstanding balance, and this is supposed to provide the bank with a main source of income(although in China, this revenue is still low because people are reluctant to run into debt). Other two m
36、ajor sources of credit card services are the annual fee from the cardholders and the percentage of the sales revenue as the commission paid by the seller. 57 A credit card is a plastic card and the like to be used to obtain money, goods, or services and an overdraft is not allowed. （ A） Right （ B） W
37、rong （ C） Doesnt say 58 Normally, banks will set different credit limits on different customers credit card ac counts. （ A） Right （ B） Wrong （ C） Doesnt say 59 Each month the credit cardholder will receive a statement from the bank showing the details of the transactions excluding the total amount o
38、utstanding. （ A） Right （ B） Wrong （ C） Doesnt say 60 If the balance of the credit card is not fully settled, the cardholder will have to pay a compound interest on the outstanding amount. （ A） Right （ B） Wrong （ C） Doesnt say 四、阅读理解 60 New securities by companies are usually brought to market after
39、advice and a commitment to underwrite by an investment banking firm. Underwriting simply means that the investment banker promises to buy the securities. The investment bank helps design the security and the investment banker buys it from the issuer with the intent of selling it to investors as quic
40、kly as possible. Usually, the issue is not subscribed to in its entirety by the original investment banker but is syndicated among other institutions as well. Through the syndication process, the original investment banker invites others to subscribe to a part of the issue, receiving a predetermined
41、 portion of the fees in return. The original investment banker becomes known as the lead manager of the deal. If there is more than one lead, the group is referred to as co-lead managers. The firm that deals directly with the company will be responsible for any syndication formation and also for fin
42、al payment on behalf of the syndicate. It is referred to as the book runner for the issue. New issues of common stock come into two varieties-primary distributions and secondary distributions. Primaries are sales of stock that have never been issued before. There are two types of primary distributio
43、ns-initial public offerings(IPOs)and additional floats of companies stock that will dilute each shareholders existing holding. Of the two, the latter are more common in the new issues market for equities since they involve offerings of shares of larger, more mature companies seeking additional equit
44、y capital. Secondary distributions are sales of stock that previously existed in some form or other but are too large to be accommodated on the stock exchanges. Procedures for secondaries often follow those for primaries although the offering period is much shorter and may involve a matter of hours
45、rather than days. The actual marketing for these issues is done by investment bankers directly to the public. On rare occasions, companies have attempted to sell their shares or bonds directly to the public, avoiding investment banking fees. Unless the company is very well known, such attempts are l
46、ess than successful. The behavior of investment bankers is key to the reception of new issues and directly affects the cost of capital for a company. As a result, the choice of an investment banker is crucial for a company, and the wrong choice could affect its costs over the near term. This is true
47、 for bonds as well as for common stocks. 61 According to the passage, underwriting simply means_. （ A） that the investor promises to buy the securities （ B） that the investment banker promises to sell the securities （ C） that the investment banker promises to buy the securities （ D） that the investo
48、r promises to sell the securities 62 Usually, the original investment banker_. （ A） subscribes to the issue in its entirety （ B） is prohibited from subscribing to the issue （ C） subscribes to a part of the issue （ D） is prohibited from subscribing to only part of the issue 63 When the issue is syndi
49、cated among the original investment banker and other institutions, （ A） there is only one lead manager （ B） there must be more than one lead manager （ C） all the parties concerned are lead managers （ D） there is one lead manager or more than one lead manager 64 None of the following statements is true except_. （ A） initial public offerings will dilute each shareholder s existing holding （ B） additional floats of companies stock will dilute each shareholder s existing holding （ C） compared wit
