Section II

Cloze (10 points)

Directions: Read the following text. Choose the best word(s) for each numbered blank and

mark A, B, C or D on ANSWER SHEET 1.

A

few

decades

ago,

the

world

banking

community

invented

new

Electronic

Funds

Transfer

(EFT)

systems

to

move

money

more

efficiently

across

countries

and

around

the

globe. The

___21__benefit

of

such

systems

was

to

__22___the

float

of

capital

that

was

unavailable

for

?

__23__

checks

were

being

cleared

through

banking__24__.

Today,

we

understand

that

benefits

of

electronic

banking

are

far

more

_25__

than

just

reducing

floating

cash.

The

world

of

banking__26__revolutionizeD

．

It

is

__27_

more

efficient

and

faster,

but

more

global.

And

now_28_the

Internet,

EFT

systems

are

increasingly

the

new

world

of

e-commerce

and

e-trade.

__30__1997

and

2003,

EFT

value__31__from

less

than

$$50

trillion

to

nearly

$$40

trillion,

more

than

the

__32__economic

product

of

all

the

/

countries

and

territories

of

the

entire

world.

These

statistics__33__should

emphasize

the

true

importance

of

transnational

_34__

the

hub

of

global

electronic

cash

is

_35__central

to

the

idea

of

an

emerging

“worldwide

mind.”

Without

the

satellite

and

fiber

infrastructure

to

support

the

flow

of

electronic

funds,

the

world

economy

would

grind

to

a

halt.

Section III

Reading comprehension (40 points)

Directions:

Read the following four passages. Answer the questions below each passage by choosing A,

B, C and D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.

Passage One

Working

at

nonstandard

times-----evenings,

nights,

or

weekends----is

taking

its

toll

on

American

families.

One-fifth

of

all

employed

Americans

work

variable

or

rotating

shifts,

and

one-third

work

weekends,

according

to

Harriet

B.

Presser,

sociology

professor

at

the

University

of

Maryland.

The

result

is

stress

on

familial

relationships,

which

is

likely

to

continue

in

coming

decades.

The

consequences

of

working

irregular

hours

vary

according

to

gender,

economic

level,

and

whether

or

not

children

are

involved.

Single

mothers

are

more

likely

to

work

nights

and

weekends

than

married

mothers.

Women

in

clerical,

sales,

or

other

low-paying

jobs

participate

disproportionately

in

working

late

and

graveyard

shifts.

Married-couple

households

with

children

are

increasingly

becoming

dual- earner

households,

generating

more

split-shift

couples.

School-aged

children,

however,

may

benefit

from

parents

’

nonstandard

work

schedules

because

of

the

greater

likelihood

that

a

parent

will

be

home

before

or

after

school.

On

the

other

hand,

a

correlation

exists

between

nonstandard

work

schedules

and

both

marital

instability

and

a

decline

in

the

quality

of

marriages.

Nonstandard

working

hours

mean

families

spend

less

time

together

for

diner

but

more

time

together

for

breakfast.

One-on-one

interaction

between

parents

and

children

varies,

however,

based

on

parent,

shift,

and

age

of

children.

There

is

also

a

greater

reliance

on

child

care

by

relatives

and

by

professional

providers.

Working

nonstandard

hours

is

less

a

choice

of

employees

and

more

a

mandate

of

employer.

Presser

believes

that

the

need

for

swing

shifts

and

/

weekend

work

will

continue

to

rise

in

the

coming

decades.

She

reports

that

in

some

European

countries

there

are

substantial

salary

premiums

for

employees

working

irregular

hours- sometimes

as

much

as

50%

higher.

The

convenience

of

having

services

available

24

hours

a

day

continues

to

drive

this

trend.

Unfortunately,

says

Presser,

the

issue

is

virtually

absent

from

public

discourse.

She

emphasizes

the

need

for

focused

studies

on

costs

and

benefits

of

working

odd

hours,

the

physical

and

emotional

health

of

people

working

nights

and

weekends,

and

the

reasons

behind

the

necessity

for

working

these

hours.

“Nonstandard

work

schedules

not

only

are

highly

prevalent

among

American

families

but

also

generate

a

level

of

complexity

in

family

functi

oning

that

needs

greater

attention,”

she

says./

of

toll

families

relationships
