Translation4. TranslationDirections: Translate the following paragraphs into Chinese.(1) Effective supervision of banking organizations is an essential component of a strong economic environment in that the banking system plays a central role in making payments and mobilizing and distributing savings.(2) Deciding on the appropriate level of systemic protection is by and large a policy question to be taken by the relevant authorities (including the central bank), particularly where it may result in a commitment of public funds.(3) A key aspect of the licensing process is an evaluation of the competence, integrity andqualifications of proposed management, including the board of directors.(4) If there will be a corporate shareholder with a significant holding, an assessment of the financial condition of the corporate parent should be made, including its capital strength.(5) The host authority should also consider whether the home country supervisor capably performs its supervisory task on a consolidated basis.(6) Serious banking problems have arisen from the failure of banks to recognize impaired assets, to create reserves for writing off these assets, and to suspend recognition of interest income when appropriate.(7) Banks are particularly susceptible to legal risks when entering new types of transactions and when the legal right of a counterparty to enter into a transaction is not established.(8) Under the loan classification system, criteria used to assign credit quality ratings are primarily based upon the degree of risk and the likelihood of orderly repayment, and their effect ona bank's safety and soundness.(9) Pending factors may include a proposed merger or acquisition, liquidation proceedings, capital injection, preferring liens on additional collateral, or refinancing plans.(10) Bank failures can serve a useful purpose by rewarding strong managements and penalizing weak ones.(11) Prudential requirements cover a broad spectrum of banking activities and play an important part in assuring the effectiveness of the supervisory process. Of which, there are five key areas where the extensive prudential policies have been implemented by bank regulators of most countries, these are capital adequacy, asset concentrations, loan classification system and adequacy of loan loss reserves, liquidity and risk management and internal controls.(12) Banking supervisors recognize that banking is a business of taking risks in order to earn profit and assumes varied and complex risks that warrant a risk-oriented supervisory approach. Consequently, bank regulators in many countries have adopted risk-based approach to supervise banks. Under this approach, supervisors do not attempt to restrict risk-taking but rather determine whether banks identify, understand and control the risks they assume.(13) Supervisors must assess the ownership structure of banking organizations including the bank's direct and indirect controlling and major direct or indirect shareholders. This assessment should review the controlling shareholders' past banking and non-banking business ventures and their integrity and standing in the business community, as well as the financial strength of all major shareholders and their ability to provide further financial support should it be needed. As part of the process of checking integrity and standing, the supervisor should determine the source of the initial capital to be invested.Where a bank will be part of a larger organization, licensing and supervisory authorities should determine that the ownership and organizational structure will not be a source of weakness and will minimize the risk to depositors of contagion from the activities conducted by other entities within the larger organization. The other interests o f the bank's major shareholders should be reviewed and the financial condition of these related entities assessed.。

140 performance has plateaued. Two recent reports, “21st Century Computer Architecture” commissioned by the Computing Community Consortium and the 2011 National Research Council report “The Future of Computing Performance: Game Over or Next Level?” highlight this development and its impact on science, the economy, and society. The reports pose the question of how to enable the computational systems that will support emerging applications without the benefit of near-perfect performance scaling from hardware improvements. NSF’s Advanced Computing Infrastructure: Vision and Strategic Plan published in February 2012 describes strategies that address this challenge for NSF and the research community.To continue improving performance, we need a new era of parallel computing, driven by novel, groundbreaking research in all areas impacting parallel performance and scalability. Achieving the needed breakthroughs will require a collaborative effort among researchers representing all areas from the application layer down to the micro-architecture, and will be built on new concepts and new foundational principles. In FULL-SIZE proposals, we look for groundbreaking research arising from collaborations that involve researchers providing different and distinct expertise relevant to the program’s focus areas, which together re-examine the traditional computer hardware and software stack. For example, we seek collaborations combining a deep understanding in parallel programming with expertise in software tools; experience in heterogeneous parallel architectures with algorithm design expertise; knowledge in an application domain with expertise in energy-efficient memory hierarchies; hardware design know-how with human factors expertise; experience in runtime platforms and virtualization tools with knowledge in reliable and distributed computing; experience in parallel data management with knowledge of parallel linear algebra or statistical algorithms. We are also soliciting EXPLORA TORY proposals on untested, but potentially transformative, research ideas or approaches. These smaller projects do not require multiple PIs (short for principal investigators) with distinct expertise.Multiple ChoiceCircle the letter or fill in the correct answer.1.

Re-read the last sentence of the story. Explain one way in which Gabriella is bluffing.Answers such as the following:• She is pretending that she believes his lie.• She is pretending that Liam looks fine.• She is pretending that everything will be all right/be the same as before.BluffingShe reaches for her double-faced pile jacket in the hallway, opens the front door, and runsdown the sidewalk as fast as she dares. It’s only th ree blocks to the Jasper hospital. Wind-drivenrivers of ice have formed on the hospital steps and Gabriella almost loses her footing. She gripsthe railing. She wonders what her grade ten students would think if they could see her, clutching5 the rail, as if the slightest breeze could blow her down.Inside the hospital, equilibrium returns. The tiled floor feels cold, even through her vibramsoles. The hospital is modern and all on one level. The corridors are eggshell white, full ofpromise, Gabriella thinks. She would have preferred vomit green. Even the reassuring medicinalsmell seems diluted. The scent reminds her of the homemade cleaning solution she prepared at10 Liam’s insistence. She used the mixture for a week, until she noticed that it took twice as long toremove grime as the concentrate she bought at the janitorial supply store. Liam hadn’t noticedthat she’d stopped using it.The nurse at the station nods to Gabriella. ―It will just be a few minutes,‖ she says.―Won’tyou have a seat?‖ She can’t be more than twenty-two, thinks Gabriella, three years younger than15 she is. She sinks into the vinyl couch. Only three weeks since the accident, and it seems as ifshe’s been waiting forever.On that morning three weeks ago, a light frost had silvered the clubmoss along the trail.Ahead, the plum-coloured peaks of the Maligne Range cut razor-sharp silhouettes against thesky. Gabriella noticed how Liam’s thick black hair was cut as fashionably as ever, unusual for a20 climber, although his face appeared lined and travel-worn.Gabriella hadn’t proposed the hike until the night before. She’d called it ―one last outingbefore the snow comes.‖ She didn’t want to let on that it might mean anything much to her. Atthe lake, she planned to bring up the subj ect of the lease. The landlord said he’d have to know byOctober 31 if they would sign for a year. Housing was so tight in Jasper; he had at least three25 people who would take the house sight unseen. Would they sign the lease or not? He alwaysspeaks to her about these matters, not Liam.The morning sky began to cream with cumulus clouds. Below, in the valley, the dark greensof white spruce and tarnished golds of the poplars wove an intricate montane tartan. Liam stayed in the lead. At times, Gabriella had to run, the way her students sometimes did30 to keep up with her on field trips to nearby bogs and meadows. But she didn’t mind Liam’s pace.She sensed a special energy to the day. They’d be able to firm things up at the lake, the way theynever could in town, knocking elbows, rushing about. She couldn’t take the uncertainty muchlonger, now that Liam was talking about going off again for the winter, and she couldn’t afford tokeep the house herself. She thought that signing a one-year lease demanded a certain courage, a35 certain faith that the earth will keep holding them up, a certain commitment. She planned tointroduce the subject in this way, as a challenge.―Should get the lake all to ourselves,‖ Liam said.Questions 1 to 11 are based on this story.2His boots left the partial prints of an expensive trademark on the soft loamy trail. His jacketwas new, too. He spent most of his money on outdoor gear—the little he made guiding American40 and German tourists up easy climbs in the Rockies. Liam liked to joke that one day he wouldhave his photo in glossy magazines for high-tech outdoor gear. Prestigious companies wouldseek his endorsement. He always laughed when he said this, but there was a steel edge to hisvoice. He really believed it. She thought he was getting a little long in the tooth for this kind offantasy.45 When they were half-way to the lake, they stopped for a short break on a fallen log. Theyheard a man’s laughter from somewhere below. Liam turned to Gabriella, his eyes vigilant. Shehad seen that expression once before, when Clive, one of the other mountain guides inthe town,asked Liam if the rumours were true. Had he almost lost his nerve on Mt. Robson last year, whenhe realized the American climber he was guiding couldn’t set up a belay that gave Liam adequate50 protection? Liam told Clive to go to hell. But Liam was secretly jealous of Clive. Liam has neverbeen asked to join a big expedition; Clive was invited to Mt. McKinley last year.―I’ll handle it,‖ Liam whispered.Two young men approached. They looked to be in their late teens or early twenties. Theytook big elastic steps, as if springs were attached to the soles of their boots. Grey jays emitted55 staccato cries into the spruce air.―Planning on going up to the lake?‖ Liam asked.―You bet,‖ one of them replied.―Might not be such a good idea,‖ Liam said, his voice thick with sympathy. ―We’re turningback ourselves. Came across an elk carcass by the lake. Some grizzly had himself a dandy60 breakfast.‖―Grizzly, eh?‖ said the hiker. ―Sure it was a grizzly?‖―Can’t mistake those long front claws,‖ Liam said. ―They usually come back to the kill, youknow.‖―Guess you’re right. Doesn’t sound like a great place to be.‖65 The pair turned around on the trail; the spring was missing from their step. When they wereout of sight, Liam and Gabriella continued on to the lake. The grey jays had stopped shrieking.Gabriella hears footsteps in the hospital corridor and looks up from a Canadian Living magazine to see the young nurse c oming out of Liam’s room.―He’s sleeping but I’ll wake him in a minute,‖ she says. Gabriella thinks she catches a 70 quizzical look on her face. The nurse seems to be weighing whether to say anything more, thenshows her straight teeth in a smile. ―He really wants you to be here today, doesn’t he?‖Gabriella nods. She doesn’t know what to say. The nurse leaves her and pads down thecorridor. Gabriella draws her legs under her. Her feet still feel icy.Tell us what happened, the strangers said, pressing in on her with their uniforms, badges,75 khaki jackets, and pressed pants. All of them urged her to tell. ―To aid in our understanding ofhow these attacks occur,‖ said one warden, a safety specialist, with a smooth chin and aparticularly insistent manner.3In the end, Gabriella felt she’d fooled them all. Oh, she’d answered all the questions, butthat wasn’t the same as telling the whole story. How could she, when it still wasn’t clear?80 Gabriella watches as a merlin alights on a bare branch outside the window. Odd that he’dget so close. Then she sees the streaky yellow plumage. Just a baby. He thinks the world is anurturing place.Where is that nurse?Gabriella looks again at the merlin and remembers how she taught Liam to spot wildlife. He85 said he h adn’t really taken much notice up till then, his eyes were always on the peaks. But hewanted to know more. This was after they’d moved in together, before he’d gone off toLeavenworth with Clive for two weeks’ climbing that turned into six weeks.She and Liam had been looking for wildlife up on the Pyramid Bench. Liam couldn’t seeanything. Gabriella said the problem was that he was trying to focus on a single object. Instead,90 he should try to soften his eyes and take in the entire horizon. Liam tried this. He wasn’t alwayswilling to learn from people who might know more than he did, but she hoped he’d recognize herauthority here. After all, she was the biology teacher.They crouched behind a stand of young spruce. In a few minutes, they observed movementat the edge of the forest: a cow moose, holding her head high, ears up instead of out. 95 ―Means she senses danger,‖ Gabriella said. ―She probably has a calf around here. Betterfreeze. The worst thing to do would be to run.‖They both froze. Afterward s, Liam said he’d learned a lot being out with her. It opened hiseyes, he said.At noon, Gabriella and Liam reached the lake. She found a rock of flat limestone along the100 shore and they spread their foam pads to sit on. Liam dug into his pack and pulled out a smallbottle of Remy Martin, French bread, a wedge of Camembert, and chocolate-coveredalmonds.She felt a small rush of pleasure. He never lost the ability to surprise her, sometimes through astonishing small deceits, sometimes through extravagant gestures. In a way he remindedher of the plants and animals she so loved teaching her students about: organized, coded,105 identifiable as a type, but ultimately unknowable. Gabriella decided not to mention the foilwrappedegg sandwiches in her day pac k; she wouldn’t dream of spoiling his surprise.―To celebrate,‖ Liam said. He didn’t say right away what they would be celebrating, butGabriella took this as an encouraging sign. She planned to mention the lease after lunch. Sheimagined winter nights with Liam hunkered over topographical maps at the yellow kitchen table.110 Only this time, she saw him studying places they could explore together, high meadows andalpine lakes. She smiled up at him.―Clive and I worked it out last week,‖ Liam said. He shoo k his crop of black hair and hisvoice pranced. ―If we pool our resources, live in his old van, we’ve got just enough to get by forthree months over the winter. So we’re gonna head down south.‖115 The words hit Gabriella like small, sharp rocks.―I’ve had enough of this limestone,‖ Liam continued. ―Three months of good, technicalrock—I’m talking Yosemite, maybe New Mexico—is gonna make all the difference for me.‖4Gabriella grabbed for her pack and pushed herself off the rock. She strode as fast as shecould without running. She didn’t care where. Once she looked back. Liam was following her.120 Let him hoof it a little, she thought. She willed herself to walk fast and stay angry, because shedidn’t want to think about what might happen to her if she re lented one more time. Maybe therewould be nothing left of her except endurance, maybe all her other strengths would be suckedaway. She’d seen it happen.The sandy shore of the lake ended and Gabriella crashed through a thick stand of dwarf125 birch and rock willows. A twig snapped and cut into her cheek. She hauled herself through onelast bush to the end of the lake, where the willows gave way to huckleberries.The grizzly sow stood twenty paces ahead. The bear’s hump and dished-in face were unmistakable. There was not a climbing tree within reach.In that instant, every cell in Gabriella’s body yearned to turn and flee. But some inner force130 held her, a force she’d never before sensed.Gabriella dropped her eyes from the bear’s stare and slumped her body forwards. She noticed how scuffed her boots were. She knew that if she retreated too quickly, the bear could beon her like a cat on a wounded bumblebee. She tried moving one foot back. The bear steppedforwards a foot or two. Gabriella froze. The bear stopped.135 Behind her, she heard rustling in the shrubbery, and then Liam’s voice. ―Geez,‖ he said.It took all her willpower to stay where she was. ―Try backing off slowly,‖ she said. ―Bluffhim, remember?‖And now, as Gabriella sits on the hospital couch, the part that was missing comes back.How she waited to hear Liam take one or two cautious steps backwards. How instead, after one140 long minute, she heard the rustle of footsteps through the shrubbery. Liam wasn’t just steppingback. He was running away as fast as he could.Gabriella hit the ground as the bear lunged forwards. She intertwined her fingers behind herneck, legs drawn up over her vitals. But even as her forehead pressed against the gravelly earth,she felt the powerful sweep of the bear hurtling past. It was giving full chase.145 The nurse is back. She bends down to Gabriella.―He’ll be counting on your reaction,‖ she says. ―Are you sure you feel up to it?‖Gabriella nods, but as she is ushered into Liam’s private room, she is no long er so sure. Hesits propped up in bed beside a table brimming with gladioli, carnations, cards from the climbingteam. He looks a bit like pictures she has seen of mummified Egyptian princes. Bandages wind150 round his scalp, over his cheeks and forehead and chin. Only his blue eyes, nostrils, and mouthare visible.What was it the doctor had told her。
Part 1 Multiple choices
(每小题：分)Directions: Read the following passages carefully and choose the best answer from the four choices marked A, B, C and D.Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage or dialog.In order to separate doting parents from their freshman sons, Morehouse College in Atlanta has instituted a formal "Parting Ceremony". It began on a recent evening, with speeches in the Martin Luther King Jr. International Chapel (小教堂). Then the incoming freshmen marched through the ga tes of the campus—which slowly shut, literally leaving the parents outside. When University of Minnesota freshmen move in at the end of August, parental separation was a little more artful: mothers and fathers were invited to a reception elsewhere so students can meet their roommates and negotiate dorm room space—without adult interference.Grinnell College here, like others, has found it necessary to be explicit about when parents really, truly must say goodbye. After computer printers and bags had been carried to dorm rooms, everyone gathered in the gymnasium, students on one side of the bleachers (看台座位), parents on the other. The president welcoming the class of 2011 had his back to the parents—a symbolic staging meant to inspire parents to realize, "My student is feeling more comfortable sitting with 400 people they just met." Shortly after, mothers and fathers were urged to leave campus. Most deans can tell stories of parents who lingered around campus for days. At Colgate University, a mother and father once went to their daughter's classes on the first day of the semester and went to the registrar's office to change her schedule, recalled Beverly Low, the dean of first-year students. "We recognize it's a huge day for families," she said.A more common approach is for colleges to introduce frank language into drop-off schedules stating clearly the hour for last hugs. As of 5:30 p.m. on Sept. 11, for example, the parents of Princeton freshmen learn from the move-in schedule, "subsequentevents are intended for students only." The language was added inrecent years to draw a clear line. It's easy for students to point to this and say "Hey, Mom, I think you're supposed to be gone now".1.Why did Morehouse College hold a "Parting Ceremony"?A. To welcome the freshmen's parents.B. To memorize Martin Luther King.C. To help the students get familiar with the gates of campus.D. To separate the parents from their freshman childrenformally.2.At University of Minnesota, the parental separation was________________.A. more formal than Morehouse CollegeB. more skillful than Morehouse CollegeC. more frank than Grinnell CollegeD. more popular with parents than any other colleges3.Why did the president welcoming the class of 2011 have hisback to the parents?A. Because the gymnasium is too small to hold so manypeople.B. Because he wanted to urge the parents to leave.C. Because he wanted the parents to realize that their childrenfeel comfortable there.D. Because he felt great pressure from the parents.4.At Colgate University, a mother and father once________________.A. stayed with their daughter on campus for a semesterB. attended lectures on campus for several daysC. worked at the registrar's officeD. attended their daughter's classes and made decisions forher5.Which of the following is TURE according to the passage?A. Many colleges allow the last hug between parents and theirchildren for an hour.B. Many colleges state clearly the time for parents to part withtier children.C. The parents of Princeton freshmen must leave before 5:30p.m. on Sept. 11.D. In fact most students don't want their parents to leaveearly.Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage or dialog.Lord Browne, the former head of BP (英国石油公司), is conducting a review of student finance with a report expected to be published in the coming weeks. The report's anticipated recommendations would result in new graduates facing an extra £5,000 burden of debt in addition to the current average of £20,000, it was claimed.Among the options being considered by the panel is a limit on the amount of funding per student supplied by the government, with universities being forced to subsidize (补助) teaching from their own funds. This measure could see the cap on tuition fees removed completely, but would be likely to result in reduced applications for the most expensive courses, particularly from poorer students.The recommendation of higher tuition fees would appear to contradict statements by Vince Cable, the Business Secretary, earlier this summer when he spoke in favor of a tax on graduates.A source with knowledge of the review reportedly claimed that the proposals will establish a competitive market between universities, with fees likely to rise to between £6,000 and £7,000. Tuition fees are currently capped at £3,290 a year, with virtually every institution charging the maximum amount.But a university source reportedly expressed concerns therecommendations would not sit well with the Liberal Democrats (自由民主党), who are opposed to fee rises, and suggested Lord Browne was "operating in a parallel universe". The Browne Review could also result in universities incurring extra costs, with student loans set to be extended to part-time students for the first time.It comes as universities are preparing themselves for massive funding cuts in the Comprehensive Spending Review, with budgets expected to be brought down by up to £5 billion. The expected increase in fees is likely to be introduced in 2013.6.Lord Browne's report ________________.A. is going to be published before his review on studentfinanceB. will recommend some measures to help BPC. is expected to increase new graduates' financial burden toD. is expected to increase new graduates' financial burden to7.The panel is considering a measure which will________________.A. force the government to subsidize the teaching in universityB. limit the amount of tuition fee of universityC. reduce the application for some courses from the poorstudentsD. increase the funding per student supplied by thegovernment8.Vince Cable, the Business Secretary, ________________.A. agrees to increase tax on graduatesB. recommends the higher tuition feesC. is in favor of Lord Browne's reportD. made contradictory statements earlier this summer9.How many tuition fees are charged now by most universities?A. £5,000.B. £3,290.C. £6,000.D. £7,000.10.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. The Liberal Democrats would not agree with therecommendations.B. Part-time students could not apply for student loans before.C. Most universities are not ready for the cuts of funds.D. The tuition fees are likely to increase in 2013.Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage or dialog.The case for college has been accepted without question for more than a generation. All high school graduates ought to go, says conventional wisdom and statistical evidence, because college will help them earn more money, become "better" people, and learn to be more responsible citizens than those who don't go.But college has never been able to work its magic for everyone. And now that close to half our high school graduates are attending, those who don't fit the pattern are becoming more numerous, and more obvious. College graduates are selling shoes and driving taxis and write false letters of recommendation in the intense competition for admission to graduate school. Others find no stimulation in their studies, and drop out—often encouraged by college administrators.Some observers say the fault is with the young people themselves—they are spoiled and they are expecting too much. But that doesn't explain all campus unhappiness. Others blame the state of the world, and they are partly right. We have been told that young people have to go to college because our economy can't absorb an army of untrained eighteen-year-olds. But disappointedgraduates are learning that it can no longer absorb an army of trained twenty-two-year-olds, either.Some educators have openly begun to suggest that college may not be the best, the proper, the only place for every young person after the completion of high school. Perhaps college doesn't make people intelligent, ambitious, happy, liberal, or quick to learn things—maybe it is just the other way around, and intelligent, ambitious, happy, liberal, quick-learning people are merely the ones who have been attracted to college in the first place. And perhaps all those successful college graduates would ha ve been successful whether they had gone to college or not. This is unacceptable to those who have been brought up to believe that if a little schooling is good, more has to be much better. But contrary evidence is beginning to mount up.11.According to the author, ________________.A. people used to question the value of college educationB. people used to have full confidence in higher educationC. all high school graduates went to collegeD. very few high school graduates chose to go to college12.In the 2nd paragraph, "those who don't fit the pattern" refer to________________.A. high school graduates who aren't suitable for collegeeducationB. college graduates who are selling shoes and driving taxisC. college students who aren't any better for their highereducationD. high school graduates who failed to be admitted to college13.The dropout rate of college students seems to go up because________________.A. young people are disappointed with the conventional way ofteaching at collegeB. many people are required to join the armyC. young people have little motivation in pursuing a highereducationD. young people don't like the intense competition foradmission to graduate school14.According to the passage, the problems of college educationpartly originate in the fact that ________________.A. society cannot provide enough jobs for properly trainedgraduatesB. high school graduates do not fit the pattern of collegeeducationC. too many students have to earn their own livingD. college administrators encourage students to drop out15.In this passage the author argues that ________________.A. more and more evidence shows college education may notbe the best thing for high school graduatesB. college education is not enough if one wants to besuccessfulC. college education benefits only the intelligent, ambitious,and quick-learning peopleD. intelligent people may learn quicker if they don't go tocollegeQuestions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage or dialog.Anne Whitney, a sophomore at Colorado State University, first had a problem taking tests when she began college. "I was always well prepared for my tests. Sometimes I studied for weeks before a test. Yet I would take the test, only to find I could not answer the questions correctly. I would blank out because of nervousness and fear. I couldn't think of the answer." Another student in biology had similar experiences. He said, "My first chemistry test was very difficult. My hands were moving up and down so quickly that it was hard to hold my pencil. I knew the material and I knew the answers. Yet I couldn't even write them down!"These two young students were experiencing something called testanxiety. The student cannot write or think clearly because of the extreme tension and nervousness. Although poor grades are often a result of poor study habits, sometimes test anxiety causes the low grades. Recently, test anxiety has been recognized as a real problem, not just an excuse or a false explanation of lazy students.Special university advising courses try to help students. In these courses, advisors try to help students by teaching them how to manage test anxiety. At some universities, students take tests to measure their anxiety. If the tests show their anxiety is high, the students can take short courses to help them deal with their tensions. These courses teach students how to relax their bodies. Students are trained to become calm in very tense situations. By controlling their nervousness, they can let their minds work at ease. Learned information then comes out without difficulty on a test.An expert at the University of California explains, "With almost all students, relaxation and less stress are felt after taking our program. Most of them experience better control during their tests. Almost all have some improvement. With some, the improvement is very great."16.The phrase "blank out" in the first paragraph is probablymeans ________________ .A. to be like a blanketB. to be sure of an answerC. to be unable to think clearlyD. to show knowledge to the teacher17.What usually results in poor grades according to the passage?A.
