2008.12.21中國銀行筆試回憶題
寫下來，造福以后的學弟學妹吧。
 銀行招聘網[www.ytxmusic.cn]收集整理
英語部分：14：00-15：30      共85道  滿分150分。
 
第一部分：同義詞填空，20個
          就是給出4個詞，選出一個填到一個句子中，感覺和以前六級英語的同義詞填空不一樣，六機考的詞基本上是考認不認識，認識的話基本都能對，中行考的是詞義辨析。
現在只記得4個了：如** approval _____   (A. rate,  C. ratio)** ；**an_____　interview  (A. exclusive, B. exceptional )***；***a _____  monument (A. perpetual , C. lasting )；***____ on sb. to do sth.*** (A. prevail C. persuade，答案選A ) .
第二部分：改錯，10個
          就是給出一個句子，劃線4個部分，讓選出哪個有錯，和以前托福語法改錯格式差不多。現在就記得一點了：an abundance of evidences, 應該選B. 還有一個enable sb. to do 加下劃線了，不過這個是對的。
                                                                                                                                   A          B
第三部分：完型填空 20個
          主要是關于對待非母語問題，說美國人到了美國大陸，要求印第安人不能使用自己的母語，要將其去除，其中有個選項是eradicate， 否則就會受到懲罰，有個選項是punishment。因此印第安人就刻意不把母語pass on 給下一代。德國也是如此，要求是用德語，在教堂里，學校里還有什么地方都要講德語，把其他語言書籍都燒掉了。后來說到中國人，雖然在國外上語言課，但是都是segregated class， 里面全是中國人。中國人都喜歡和中國人在一起，比如Chinatown.語言成了影響人們找工作的問題之一。Blabla~~~~
 
第四部分：四篇閱讀理解
          第一篇：居然回來搜了下找到原題，不過沒答案。
How many people in the world speak English as a first a native language? Exact information on this point is not available, but an estimate of 230 million cannot be very wide of the mark. Of these, 145 million live the United States, a little less than 55 million in the United Kingdom, and something like 30 million in the British dominions and colonial possessions. It is even more difficult to arrive at a figure representing those who speak English as a second or auxiliary language. A reasonably conservative conclusion would thus place the total number of speakers of English between 300 million and 325 million, about one seventh of the world’s population.
       If one thinks solely in terms of total number of speakers, it must be conceded that some authorities place Chinese, the various Indic languages, and Russian ahead of English, others only Chinese. Both Chinese and Indic, however, are terms covering a large number of mutually unintelligible dialects; and though the number of speakers of these languages may seem impressive, communication within the language is much more restricted than in English. Total numbers, moreover, constitute but one phase of the matter. The factor of geographical distribution is equally, possibly even more, significant. English is spoken as a first or native language on at least four continents of the world, Russian on two, Chinese and the Indic language on one, English is without question the closest approach to a world language today. It goes without saying that no two persons ever have an identical command of their common language. Certainly they have not precisely the same vocabulary. There are at least minor differences in pronunciation: indeed the same individual will not pronounce his vowels and consonants in absolutely identical fashion every time he utters them. Everyone possesses in addition certain individual traits of grammatical form and syntactical order, constituting that peculiar and personal quality of language which we term style. All of this is implicit in the well-known phrase, “Style is the man”. No two men are identical; no two styles are the same. If this is true of but two persons, the potential of difference resident in a language spoken by more than 200 million truly staggers the imagination. 
51. According to the author it could be said that _______.
[A]  more people speak Chinese dialects than English
   more people speak English as an auxiliary language than as a first language
[C]  about one seventh of the world’s population speaks Russian
[D]  more people speak English in the UK than in Ireland
52. The extract implies that ________.
[A]  a little less than half the native English speakers in the world live in the United States
   the 55 million inhabitants of the British Isles speak like the 30 million inhabitants of the ex-British dominions and colonies
[C]  about one tenth of the total English-speaking world population lives in ex-British dominions and colonies
[D]  it would certainly be an underestimate to suppose 230 million people speaking English as a native language
53. The reason why English is the closest approach to a world language is that _______.
[A]  Chinese and Indic languages are mutually unintelligible
   Chinese is too complex to be a world language
[C]  Russian is only spoken on two continents
[D]  there are more native speakers of English than of any other language
54. According to the author the fact that the same individual will not pronounce his vowels and consonants identically every time shows that ________.
[A]  everyone has their own literary style
   mutual intelligibility is a myth
[C]  people’s vocabularies vary
[D]  no two people speak the same language in exactly the same way
55. According to the author, style is ________.
[A]  significant when it comes to comparing only two people
   a question of grammatical and syntactical correctness
[C]  the particular way an individual uses language
[D]  a strange type of language
 
第二篇：關于美國的mandated最低工資問題。 一開始說最低工資統一規定不好，不同的州情況不一樣。然后就舉了幾個州最低工資差異。有人反對最低工資，提出最低工資造成企業成本增加，社會失業率增加。后面好像說在經濟繁榮的時候，最低工資不為人們關心，但是經濟不好時，最低工資還是有用的，blabla~~~
 
第三篇：倫敦的千禧穹(Millennium Dome) 只找到斷斷續續的幾段，是在New york times上的。
If in this season of annual achievement awards there were one for the biggest New Year's bang and sorriest year-ending whimper, the winner would be Britain's entrant, the Millennium Dome. 然后說千禧穹是一個ambitious的創作，代表了英國人的想象力。
No country built more ambitious millennial projects and talked them up more than Britain, and the centerpiece was the $1.2 billion Dome, on the meridian that gave the name to Greenwich Mean Time and afforded Prime Minister Tony Blair the opportunity to proclaim Britain in 2000 as the ''home of time.'' 然后說千禧穹雖說被認為代表英國人的想象力，但是卻是讓一個建了法國的迪斯尼的法國人建的。（好像是這樣）
The trouble with the Dome began on opening night. Thousands of those invited got stuck on the new subway line built to speed people from central London out to Greenwich; others who did arrive could not get past security to see the show. Fatally for the Dome, among the barred and detoured were top newspaper editors.
By the spring, the enormous space was virtually deserted on weekdays. The original projection of 12 million visitors was officially scaled back to 10 million, then 7 million, and finally 6 million, of which only 4.5 million were expected to pay.
In fact, the project may be more a victim of its own hyped expectations than of its actual performance. The anticipated final figures of 6.5 million visitors (5.7 million paying) compare favorably with other London tourist attractions, and surveys indicate customer satisfaction of 85 percent.
The huge cupola now faces mothballing for several weeks before demolition of the contents begins. Items lent to the exhibition will be returned, following by an auction of all that is left. Over the next months, the government will sell off the Dome and much of the land around it to Legacy P.L.C., an Irish-English company that plans to build middle-class and luxury housing and to turn the building into a high-tech business center with 14,000 jobs.
 
第四篇：美國人口老齡化問題
列舉不同時期美國人口中哪一個年齡占主導。從一個中等的年紀到現在老年人占主導，說明美國社會老齡化。年紀大了會帶來生理上疾病，舉了幾種。有一道題問哪一種不是。但是不同的人也不一樣。有的四十幾歲就老了，還有的很老了，但是過著vigorous sex life. 年紀大了還有心理上的問題。老年人不依賴于子女，因為不想讓他們覺得自己很可悲。老年人的意見也不再被人們尊重，說他們過著一種misery的生活。最后一道題問作者的目的是說：A. American society is hostile to old people. B.Old people are putting on a miserable life.
 
第五部分：排列段落，5道。
給出了首段和末段，讓排列中間段。主要根據連接詞。是關于服務價格的問題。一開始好像說企業不大注意服務定價。之后有的廠商注意了，但是還是存在不合理問題。一部分怎樣怎樣，others怎樣。最后就說However, 現在又怎么做改變。好像是這樣沒細看。
第六部分：一篇文章中間少了五個句子，給你8個句子，讓從中選出5個填進去。
是關于經濟衰退的。說人們對經濟衰退程度預測不已，一開始預測多少，后來又預測多少，后來又變。其中高盛預測的最悲觀。然后提到和Great depression相比。后來說經濟學家們也莫衷一詞，有的說會變糟糕，有的說會變好。
第七部分：快速閱讀。兩篇。第一篇2道題。第二篇3道題。
第一篇關于印度旅游的。問了“palace on wheels”指什么，是“luxury train”；泰姬陵為什么叫“temple of love”，是印度國王為自己心愛的亡妻修建的
第二篇。.第一題問African American如何看待Latinos，第二題問W這個美國白人說了一句話說美國不應該有其他膚色的人種，有的話只應該是奴隸，這句話表明了什么，一個答案是美國社會種族歧視，另一個答案美國白人憎恨有色人種。第三題問most Mexican移民后怎么樣了，是Americanized了，lost their mother tongue。
