25、 2Every man is a philosopher. Every man has his own philosophy of life and his special view of the universe. Moreover, his philosophy is important, more important perhaps than he himself knows. It determines his treatment of friends and enemies, his conduct when alone and in society, his attitude to

26、wards his home, his work, and his country, his religious beliefs, his ethical standards, his social adjustment and his personal happiness.Nations, too, through the political or military party in power, have their philosophers of thought and action. Wars are waged and revolutions incited because of t

27、he clash Of ideologies, the conflict of philippics. It has always been so. World War II is but the latest and most dramatic illustration of the combustible nature of differences in social and political philosophy.Philosophy, says Plato, begins with wonder. We wonder about the destructive fury of ear

28、thquakes, floods, storms, drought, pestilence, famine, and fire, the mysteries of birth and death, pleasure and pain, change and permanence, cruelty and kindness, instincts and ideals, mind and body, the size of the universe and mans place in it. Our questions are endless. What is man? What is Natur

29、e? What is justice? What is duty? Alone among the animals man is concerned about his origin and end, about his purposes and goals, about the meaning of life and the nature of reality. He alone distinguishes between beauty and ugliness, good and evil, the better and the worse. He may be a member of t

30、he animal kingdom, but he is also a citizen of the world of ideas and values.Some of mans questions have had answers. Where the answer is clear, we call it science or art and move on to higher ground and a new vista of the world. Many of our questions, however, will never have final answers. Men wil

31、l always discuss the nature of justice and right, the significance of evil, the art of government, the relation of mind and matter, the search for truth, the quest for happiness, the idea of God, and the meaning of reality.The human race has reflected so long and often on these problems that the sam

32、e patterns of thought recur in almost every age. We should know what these thoughts are. We should know what answers have been suggested by those who have most influenced ancient and modern thought. We shall want to do our own thinking and find our own answers. It is, however, neither necessary nor

33、advisable to travel alone. Others have helped dispel the darkness, and the light they have kindled may also illuminate our way.（分数：10.00）(1).In the passage, the author says that every man is a philosopher. This is because _.（分数：2.00）A.every man lives like a philosopherB.every man is aware of the imp

36、ould follow the path of other philosophersD.one would study philosophy with others(5).What is called science or art, according to the author?（分数：2.00）A.the deficit answers of some of mans questionsB.Mans thoughtsC.all of mans questionsD.the meaning of realityPassage 3About one commercial bank out of

37、 every four has a trust department that provides specialized fiduciary services for its customers. To engage in the trust business, a bank must obtain from its chartering agency trust powers that enable it to offer these specialized financial services. The following sections provide an introduction

38、to the trust function.With roughly 75 percent of banking-industry participants not engaged in trust operations, trust services obviously play a somewhat limited role in the industry. Since 1981 the percentage contribution of these revenues to total operating income and total assets has been increasi

39、ng after declining since 1975. As of year-end 1983, trust income was $ 4.2 billion and amounted to 1.74 percent of total operating income and 0. 185 percent of total bank assets. Over the eight-year period 1975 to 1983, trust income grew at a compound annual rate of 12.78 percent compared to 17.42 p

40、ercent for total operating income and 11.81 percent for total assets.Trust departments generate revenue by charging fees for the services they provide. In the early days of the trust business, these fees usually were calculated as a percentage of income earned from trust assets. Today, most fee inco

41、me is based upon principal value or a combination of principal value and income. To illustrate, a fee schedule based upon principal value for personal trust accounts might range from 1 percent to 25 percent annually, depending upon the size of the account. One of the controversial areas in trust man

42、agement is how to measure fee income.The service objectives of trust and agency relationships involve five major operations: 1) recordkeeping, 2) safekeeping, 3) personal and financial counseling, 4) investing, and 5) control of assets.Personal trusts and employee-benefit accounts are the major busi

43、ness lines of trust departments, as of December 31, 1980, these two lines accounted for $ 440 billion or 77 percent of total trust assets of $ 571 billion. In each of the major business lines, common stocks are the major investment vehicle, as they account for roughly 48 percent or total trust asset

44、s. Personal trusts have the highest proportion of assets in common stocks at 56 percent.（分数：10.00）(1)._ Most small-sized banks usually have a trust department.（分数：2.00）A.TRUEB.FALSEC.NOT GIVEN(2)._ Trust services occupy a very important position in the banking industry.（分数：2.00）A.TRUEB.FALSEC.NOT GI

Three centre on the United States. A fourth relates to China, and the fifth is that oil prices could rise to over $ 70 per ba

47、rrel even without a major political or terrorist disruption and much higher with one.Most of these risks reinforce each other. A further oil shock, a dollar collapse and a soaring American budget deficit would all generate much higher inflation and interest rates. (17) Larger budget deficits will pr

48、oduce larger American trade deficits, and thus more protectionism and dollar vulnerability. Realization of any one of the five risks could substantially reduce world growth. If two or three, let alone all five, were to occur in combination then they would radically reverse the global outlook.(18) .

49、It has already reached an annual rate of $ 870 billion, well above 7% of the economy.

First, American merchandise imports are now almost twice as large as exports; hence exports would have to grow twice as fast as imports merely to halt the deteri
