20、：2，分数：15.00)We meets the challenge of globalizationTen years ago, US bankers and brokers talked about globalization. Capital barriers would fall, there would be seamless 24 - hour trading across time zones and full - service institutions would serve farmers in Iowa to car workers in Osaka.As the US

21、capital markets enter the 1990s, the reality is that globalization is still in its early stages and next decade as it was in the last. There has, however, been a qualitative change in the rhetoric.Then, globalization was seen in the US as an opportunity. Now the US is far less confident of its abili

22、ty to dominate the global market and is showing signs of falling behind its competitors. Globalization is now an urgent challenge.Mr. Curtis Welling, managing director in charge of equities at First Boston, says, “The US has had a very geocentric view. Our hegemony over world capital flows was almos

23、t regarded as a birthright. As far as important capital flows are concerned, there was a real danger of the world passing us by. The US was in danger of becoming irrelevant.“While the US was once slow to realise its competitive position in world financial markets could be eroded. Mr. Welling believe

24、s that there is a growing awareness of the need to act quickly to position the nations markets and financial institutions for the future.This concern has been crystallised in regulatory initiatives, legislative proposals and product innovations. Progressive attitudes at both the US Federal Reserve a

25、nd the Securities and Ex- change Commission (SEC) are central to these efforts.The SEC, which has just formed an Office of International Affairs, has shifted into top gear to harmonise regulations with overseas counterparts to promote the free and efficient flow of capital. The nuts and bolts of cle

26、arance and settlement, for example, are a priorty.Mr. Welling of First Boston, puts the challenge in graphic terms: We have gone about as far as we can go with broadbrush conceptual descriptions of the global market. We can see the house, it looks great but nobody can live in it until the plumbing a

27、nd electricity is in place.In spite of all the talk of the global markets, it is startling that US pension funds have committed less than 3% of their 2 600 billion in assets to non - US securities. One key reason for this is that investors and traders have to negotiate a minefield of different regul

28、ations when operating in overseas markets.（分数：7.50）(1).What was the American view of globalization ten years ago?A. That it was a utopian idea, impossible to achieve.B. They thought it would soon create a single world banking system.C. Different areas of the world would still require different banks

29、.D. Difference in time around the world would still cause problems.（分数：2.50）A.B.C.D.(2).In what ways were the American attitudes to globalization mistaken?A. The US believed it had an automatic right to lead the world banking system.B. The US did not act competitively enough.C. The US thought the re

30、st of the world was irrelevant.D. America looked at globalization from its own viewpoint.E. All of the above.（分数：2.50）A.B.C.D.E.(3).Which of the following statements is true?A. The SEC has set up a special body to work on institutional matters.B. Details on how to move capital between countries are

31、finalised.C. Mr. Welling feels more work is needed on the global market concept.D. “nuts and bolts“ (line 53) and “plumbing and electricity“ (line 62 - 3) have similar meanings.（分数：2.50）A.B.C.D.Correspondent banking faces a problem of definition. Five years ago the business was preoccupied with elec

32、tronic funds transfer. The spread of Swifts messaging network and the developing of the equally efficient clearing systems promised to elevate the medium through which banks communicate and fitted the traditional concept of correspondent banks talking to each other.By streamlining this function, how

33、ever, the nature of the business changed and the importance of nurturing interbank relationships dwindled in the eyes of some correspondent bankers. Technology tends to lead to concentration, because the customer has gone to the bank that is bigger and faster, and can handle more volume, explains Ia

34、n Cormack, who heads Citicorps financial institutions group in London and sits on the council of the clearing system in the UK.Moving or receiving money has always been at the heart of interbank activity. Lawrence Grand, international banking director at Barclays, makes the fundamental point that co

35、rrespondent banking will always exist in a world where banks have to talk to other banks to conduct money transmissions. This view is shared at Manufacturers Hanover, where Joseph Long-aberdi, a banking vice president and senior representative, believes funds transfer business is still the major pro

36、duct over which correspondent banks wage battle.But while the need to balance interbank accounts remains a core function of the business, the complexion of the funds passing through the payments system has altered dramatically. The rise and rise of financial activity has displaced trade - related fl

37、ows, particularly in the period after Big Bang, until today around 90 per cent of the business consists of financial transactions, estimates Mr. Cormack.Volumes continue to rise significantly in the major clearing centres, largely feeding off growth in securities processing and foreign exchange. The

38、 value of dollar - dominated transactions passing through New Yorks clearing house inter - bank payments system (Chips) increased by 23.7 percent last year to a daily average of $ 526 billion, equivalent to 126 840 transactions a day, and compared with $ 425 billion and 113 758 transactions in 1986.

39、In Londons sterling market the value of daily transactions passing through the clearing house automated payments system (Chaps) climbed by 28.5 percent in the year ending March 1988 to 45 billion, or 23 441 transactions a day, compared with 3 billion and 20 958 in the previous months.Keeping pace wi

40、th growth has not been easy, particularly for the banks which for reasons of size, cost and strategy have been confined to a marginal role in the business. Commitment to the technological infrastructure is vital. Five years ago Manufacturers Hanover had 75 million invested in a worldwide telecommuni

41、cations network. Anyone who baulked at such an investment five years ago would find it difficult to enter the market today.（分数：7.50）(1).Read this article and decide which of the following headlines it originally had.A.

44、oved communications _.A. increased the need for correspondent banks to work closely together.B. had little effect on correspondent banking.C. reduced the importance of correspondent banking interrelationships.D. led to a decrease in correspondent banking business.（分数：2.50）A.B.C.D.五、英释汉(总题数：2，分数：10.0
