听力原文: As the new sales director for a national computer firm, Alex Gordon was looking forward to his first meeting with the company's district managers. Everyone arrived on time, and Alex's presentation went extremely well. He decided to end the meeting with the conversation about the importance of the district managers to the company's plans. "I believe we are going to continue to increase our share of the market," he began, "because of the quality of the people in this room. The district manager is the key to the success of the sales representatives in his district. He sets the term for everyone else. If he has ambitious goals and is willing to put in long hours, everyone in his unit will follow his example." When Alex was finished, he received polite applauses, but hardly the warm response he had hoped for. Later he spoke with one of the senior managers. "Things were going so well until the end", Alex said disappointedly. "Obviously, I said the wrong thing." "Yes", the district manager replied. "Half of our managers are women. Most have worked their way up from sales representatives, and they are very proud of the role they played in the company's growth. They don't care at all about political correctness. But they were definitely surprised and distressed to be referred to as 'he' in your speech. "
Who did Alex Gordon speak to at the first meeting?
A.District managers.
B.Regular customers.
C.Sales directors.
D.Senior clerks.
听力原文:F: Would you please describe your feelings towards criminals?
M: It is true to say there are criminals, certain types of criminals who policemen have er...I have to be very careful with what I say.
F: Uhum.
M: You see, I know a person who has been caught so many times that he' s .. he becomes part and parcel of the station.
F: Umm. He has been brought in all the time.
M: He' s always in and he' s a cheerful sort of character. And it' s his way of life. And this sort of people of course are people that you.. well, I say have an affinity with, that' s not the right word to use, but you have a closeness with, you know.
F: They are part of your work, aren' t they?
M: You know, Old Sam is always in. and you can always guarantee that Old Fred will do something stupid about a week before Christmas so that he can spend Christmas in a certain prison.
F: Which he likes.
M: Which he likes because he has a good Christmas. Then, of course, you go to the other end of the scale where you have a hard-core minority who are the professional criminals.
F: British policemen are not armed, that is they do not carry guns. How do policemen feel about this?
M: I don' t think the average policeman really thinks about it, you know. I honestly think he does not think about it at all. I am sure if he did, he would probably be a worried man.
F: Uhum.
M: The reason I say that is this. That the average policeman in this country feels that the average Englishman is such a person that the use of arms and that sort of thing is foreign to his nature.
F: So your impression is that England is not a violent society.
M: Well, I don' t think we are a violent people. You see, I think as a nation, if I can put it that way, we love compromise, you know?
F: Okay...
Old Fred does something stupid because
A.He has some mental problems.
B.He is too old to know what he is dong.
C.He Wants to have a good Christmas.
D.He has got into the habit of stealing.
SECTION A CONVERSATIONS
Directions: In this section you will hear several conversations. Listen to the conversations carefully and then answer the questions that follow.
听力原文:M: Mum, I'm getting bored. Could you tell me a story?
F: Well.. It goes like this. The Paris Opera House was a huge building, with seventeen floors, of which seven were below the ground. Underneath the building there was a dark lake. In the middle of this lake was an island, and on that island, one hundred years ago, lived the Phantom.
M: Why was he called Phantom?
F: Because when he was born, he was so ugly that his own mother made him wear a mask, and forced him to leave home while still a child. Years later, he made a secret home for himself inside the Paris Opera House. Nobody knew who he was, yet people could hear him singing at night. So they called him Phantom.
M: Could he sing well?
F: Yes, wonderfully. He even used the voice to gain power over Christine, a beautiful young singer at the Opera.
M: Did they fall in love with each other?
F: I can only say that the Phantom loved Christine very much. And he wanted her for himself. In the end, he kidnapped her from the stage, in front of the whole audience.
M: Wasn't there anyone saving her?
F: Yes, a man called Raoul. He loved Christine, too. But the Phantom captured him and kept him in a prison. In the Phantom's hot, se, Christine pulled off his mask. When she saw a horrible face with no nose and yellow eyes, she was shocked. But then she felt sorry for him. She gently kissed his face.
M: Did the Phantom become a handsome man?
F: No, sweet. But Christine's kiss made him cry with joy for no one had ever touched him before. He released Raoul, and told him to take Christine away, to safety. Then he disappeared magically, and was never seen again.
When did the story happen?
A.One hundred years ago.
B.Two hundred years ago.
C.Three hundred' years ago.
D.Four hundred years ago.
(Diversification of Risk through Financial Intermediation) In an economy, there are many independent and identically distributed projects, that is, each project requires $10m of investment and pays back in a year of either $15m with probability 90% or $0m (fails) with probability 10%, while the payout of each project does not depend on the payout of other projects. a) What is the expected rate of return on each project, what is the standard deviation of rate of return? Note: The rate of return refers to net rate of return. b) Suppose a bank is to invest in two such projects, what is the payout structure of the investment? That is, lay out the possible outcomes and the probability of each outcome. What is the mean and standard deviation of the rate of return on this investment? c) What is the mean and standard deviation of the rate of return if a bank is to investment in N projects? What happens if N goes to infinity (N→∞)? d) Suppose the banks in this economy are competitive, what is maximu rate of return a bank can offer on the one-year fixed time deposit if the bank has sufficient fund to invest, i.e. N→∞ ? e) If a risk averse investor has $10m and he can either invest in one project or buy the one-year Certificate Deposit (CD, fixed time deposit) with the maximum rate of return offered by the bank. He is risk averse, with expected utility function as , where is his consumption at the end of year 1 (the consumer may not know the value at the beginning of the year). Suppose he will only consume at the end of year one and will consume whatever he has at that time. At the beginning of the year, will he invest in CD or the project to maximize his expected utility? f) Suppose the project in part a) is the only type of project in this economy, and a fund manager tell you that his fund can offer you an investment opportunity with promised return of 30% in a year and no risk. Would you want to invest? Why and why not?
听力原文:F: Susan Bauer speaking.
M: Dr. Bauer, my name is Tom White. My roommate, Jack Green, is in your art history class.
F: Yes.
M: Well, he is sick and won't be in your class today. He asked me to bring his term paper to your office.
F: OK. The paper is due by 3 o'clock.
M: I have a class from l to2. I'll bring it to your office after my class.
F: Well, I have a meeting this afternoon. So you can drop it off with the secretary of the computer department. She'll see that I get it.
M: Ok. Oh I almost forgot. I'm a biology major. But my advisor told me that I need one more humanities course to graduate. I've noticed that you are teaching a course on landscape painters next semester. Could you tell me a little bit about it?
F: Sure. Well, it's a course for non-art majors. We'll be looking at several different painters and examining their works. We'll also look at the history and politics of the era in which they lived.
M: That sounds interesting. What else is required?
F: There is no final exam. And there is only one required book. But each student has to give a major presentation about the individual painter at the end of the course.
M: Hmm. It sounds good. Will you be in your office later today? I'd like to talk to you some more.
F: Well, my meeting's scheduled to last all afternoon. Why don't you stop by tomorrow? Any time in the afternoon. My office is in the fine arts building right next to the library.
M: Thanks. I'll do that.
