听力原文: A certificate of deposit (CD) is a time deposit with a bank. Time deposits may not be withdrawn on demand like a check account. CDs are generally issued by commercial banks but they can be bought through brokerages. They bear a specific maturity date that usually lasts from 3 months to 5 years, a specified interest rate, and can be issued in any denomination, very similar to bonds. CDs offer a slightly higher yield than T-Bills because of the slightly higher default risk for a bank, but overall the likeliness of a large bank going broke is pretty slim. Of course, the amount of interest you earn depends on a number of factors such as the current interest rate environment, how much money you invest, the length of time, and your specific bank.
24. What is a CD?
25.Which of the followings generally issue CDs?
26.How long does a specific maturity usually last?
27.Why do CDs pay higher return to investors than T-bills?
(24)
A.A term deposit that can be drawn at any time.
B.A time deposit with a bank.
C.A current deposit.
D.A cheek account.

1 If someone says to you your music CDs don&39;t really hold any music on them, and they only have numbers recorded on them, you may not believe it. In fact, he is right in that sound is actually recored onto the CDs as special numbers --a digital code. The code is pressed onto the CD as bumps on a long spiral track almost five kilometers long. These bumps are an average of 0.5 microns wide.
2 A small laser beam shines onto the bumps as the CD turns. The light is reflected back to a receiver that records how the laser light bounces back. This lets the CD player turn the reflected light back into the original code. This means you can hear the original code as music.
3 Digital codes are used with many technologies. E-mail needs these kinds of code numbers. Space probes communicate with their ground station on earth using digital codes. Bar codes are read as digital codes in computer systems. Digital communications with cell phones need digital codes. Weather radios also tune in to specific signals using these codes.
4 There are many types of compact disks. One format is called CD-RWs. They can be&39; recorded on and re-recorded on (rewritten on) as you would do with a floppy disk. Another format is the CD-ROM. The technology for recording on these disks is different from other CDs. These CDs have a dye layer that the CD writer can darken or leave clear. The clear and dark spots are the digital code. CD-ROM stands for Compact Disc -- Read Only Memory. This disk is like a "super" floppy disk that can hold lots of information. One CD-ROM can h01d the same amount of data as 500 floppy disks. Information is permanently recorded onto it. Computer games and other programs are considered to be CD-ROMs.

注释:
1.he is right in that sound is actually rdcorded onto the CDs as special numbers—a digital code:他说的对,因为实际上声音以特殊的数字的形式,即数码,刻录在CD碟片上。in that是“因为”,如:Water is essential in that without it all living things would die.(水是基本要素,因为没有水,所有生物都要死亡。)
2.CD player:CD播放机
3.as you would do with a floppy disk:就象你使用软磁盘一样
4.CD—ROM stands for Compact Disc—Read Only Memory":CD—ROM是Compact Disc—Read Only Memory这五个词首字母的组成的缩写词。
