2010 年中国银行总行招聘英语笔试试题及答案
第一部分：英语能力测试
一、阅读理解
资料 1：
If you had awakened on the floor of the Las Vegas Convention Center and tried to
figure out where you were, you might have first guessed the Conclave (秘密会议) of
American Optimists. You would have seen 115,000 people buzzing with confidence and
excitement. On the other hand, noting how many passers-by were loudly talking to
themselves, you might have concluded that you had wandered into the International
Expo of Eccentrics. Instead, it was the 2003 Consumer Electronics Show, also known
as CES, held in Jan. 9th –12th. No wonder those attending were happy.
First, of course, they were in their element, surrounded by the smallest and shiniest
new gadgets (小配件). Second, despite the gloom in other slices of the economy, sales
of consumer electronics in the United States actually grew last year (to a record
$96 billion). This trade show of manufacturers, retailers and customers was alive
with energy and crowded with exhibits.
The vitality of this exposition is a sign of the times. The interest and innovation
in PCs is nothing next to the action in other realms of high tech. As proof, compare
the show with what was once its big brother: Comdex, the personal-computer trade
show held each November at the same site. Thanks to the severe decline in the PC
industry, the 2002 Las Vegas Comdex was only half the size of its 2000 incarnation.
The 2,200 booths included lavish displays by Panasonic, Sony, Philips, Toshiba and
other heavy hitters. But hundreds of smaller, quirkier companies were also present,
exhibiting electric toothbrushes, illuminated cell-phone faceplates, laser pens and
publications from Widescreen Review to Progressive Grocer. There were 46 exhibitors
in the alarm-clock category alone, and even an electric-typewriter company.
To reach those smaller booths, though, you had to pass what seemed like half the
$10,000 plasma(等离子)TV screens ever made. This proliferation(丰富) of gorgeous
wide-screen sets was only one hint that TV makers, at least, are ready for the great
American switch to high-definition television, which the Federal Communications
Commission hopes to see completed by 2006.
But a few obstacles stand between the average American and high-def happiness: the
prices of these sets, the reluctance of cable companies to broadcast high-definition
shows, Hollywood’s campaign to cripple high-definition broadcasts so that you
can’t record them, and so on. (As many seminar panelists observed, however, strides
are being made in all those areas.)
The most interesting items at Microsoft's booth were the prototype wristwatches that
use the company’s new Smart Personal Object Technology (SPOT) software. Due by
year’s end from Citizen, Fossil and other companies, these watches can receive
messages, news, weather, sports and stock reports wirelessly in metropolitan areas
for a small monthly fee, of course.
The most alarming item at Microsoft's booth, on the other hand, was its six-room
mock-up of an American house with Microsoft products—cars, phones, TVs, games,
appliances—in every nook and cranny. It’s only a matter of time before you'll see
people rebooting their toasters.
The digital camera models on display were cheaper, better and smaller than their
predecessors. Olympus’s Stylus 400, for example, is a tiny, silver, pocketable
wonder that takes four-megapixel photos (enough resolution for 13-by-19-inch
prints). It’s due in the spring for $400.

For many years the automation research departments of the world have been using laser
based analysis system to increase the understanding of the workings of the internal
combustion engine. The laser has been incorporated into systems to measure drop size,
velocity and vibration to name but a few. But few laser-based systems are able to
aid the study of all these phenomena with the same system. The Applied Optics Group
at Rover Groups Gardon Research & Development Center have been using just such a
system and finding new uses for it all the time.
The system in use is a High Speed Imagining Division of Oxford Lasers LTD. The High
Speed Imaging system comprises an Oxford Lasers LS20 Copper Vapor laser linked to
a Kodak 4540 Digital High Speed Motion Analysis Camera capable of taking up to 40,500
digital frames per second. The Kodak 4540 records the images to DRAM memory allowing
immediate play back of the recorded images for viewing, recording to videotape or
to PC for analysis. The Copper Vapor laser acts as a short duration flash emitting
pulses of only 30 nanoseconds in duration in full synchronization with the frame
rate of the camera The flashes have the effect of reducing the exposure time of the
camera, thus removing image blur due to the high speed of the subject under view,
whilst maintaining image contrast due to the high intensity of the laser light.
Another feature of the system is the ability to focus down the light. This has two
benefits. The first is the ability to make laser light sheets for the 2 dimensional
illumination of 3 dimensional subjects. This technique has great benefit when used
to map the air flow into the combustion chamber of a running model engine. Not only
can the air-flow be mapped but the progress of the flame front growth during the
combustion cycle. The second is the ability to shine the laser light down a fiber
optic cable. This aids in the illumination of areas of the running engine very
difficult to access by normal optics. This has been particularly useful in the study
of air motion in a variety of combustion system concepts.
The group plans to use the Copper Vapor laser to improve the ability of the technique
to see these vibrations and therefore allow a better understanding of the cause of
them. The technique could also applied to look at the airbag enclosure as it tears
and composite materials under dynamic crush testing.
6. How many uses of the laser-based analysis system does the author want to show
us?
[A] One [B] Two [C] Three [D] Much more than three
7. Which of the following does the High Speed Imaging system comprise ________.
[A] an Oxford Lasers LS20 Copper Vapor laser
[B] 4540 Digital High Speed Motion Analysis system
[C] DRAM memory allowing immediate play back of the recorded images for viewing
[D] a High Speed Imagining Division of Oxford Lasers LTD.
8. Which of the following is the main advantage of the laser flashes?
[A] Keeping image contrast [B] getting rid of image blur
[C] Increase the intensity of light [D] All is said in A, B, and C
9. Which of the following uses is NOT TRUE according to the passage?
[A] The laser light can help to make the three dimensional bodies look as if they
were of two dimensions.
[B] The air-flow can thus be made easier to be mapped with the laser.
[C] The turning speed of the combustion engine can be accelerated by using vapor
laser.
[D] The exposure time of the camera can be reduced by the laser flashes.
10. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?
[A]At the Speed of Light
[B] A High Speed Imagining Division Made by the Oxford Lasers LTD.
[C] A Miraculous Application of Laser in Testing the Internal Combustion Engine
[D] Automobile research and Laser Technology
答案： D A D C C

When I was a little girl, my brothers and I collected stamps for many years. My mother
didn't use to work during the week, but she worked in the post office near our house
on Saturdays, and she used to bring home all the new stamps as soon as they were
issued.
On the day of the World Cup football final in London in 1966, we were very excited
because England were playing West Germany in the final. When we were having lunch,
my mother told us to go to the post office straightaway after the match if England
won, but she didn't tell us why. At 2 o'clock my mother went back to work as usual,
while the rest of the family were watching the football on TV at home. Although she
wasn't watching the match, she was listening to it on the radio.
England won 4:2 and so my brothers and I ran to the post office. As we burst in,
my mother was standing behind the counter. She was waiting to sell us a very special
limited edition with ENGLAND WINNERS on each stamp. We were over the moon.
We still have it today, and perhaps it is worth a lot of money.
11. This passage mainly tells us __________.
A. the author and her brother used to like stamps very much

资料 4：
You stare at waterfall for a minute or two, and then shift your gaze to its
surroundings. What you now see appears to drift upward.
These optical illusions occur because the brain is constantly matching its model
of reality to signals from the body’s sensors and interpreting what must be
happening—that your brain must have moved, not the other; that downward motions
is now normal, so a change from it must now be perceived as upward motion.
The sensors that make this magic are of two kinds. Each eye contains about 120 million
rods, which provide somewhat blurry black and white vision. These are the windows
of night vision; once adapted to the dark, they can detect a candle burning ten miles
away.
Color vision in each eye comes from six to seven million structures called cones.
Under ideal conditions, every cone can “see” the entire rainbow spectrum of visible
colors, but one type of cone is most sensitive to red, another to green, a third
to blue.
Rods and cones send their messages pulsing an average 20 to 25 times per second along
the optic nerve. We see an image for a fraction of a second longer than it actually
appears. In movies, reels of still photographs are projected onto screens at 24
frames per second, tricking our eyes into seeing a continuous moving picture.
Like apparent motion, color vision is also subject to unusual effects. When day gives
way to night, twilight brings what the poet T.S. Eliot called “the violet hour.”
A light levels fall, the rods become progressively less responsive. Rods are most
sensitive to the shorter wavelengths of blue and green, and they impart a strange
vividness to the garden’s blue flowers.
However, look at a white shirt during the reddish light of sunset, and you’ll still
see it in its “true” color—white, not red. Our eyes are constantly comparing an
object against its surroundings. They therefore observe the effect of a shift in
the color of illuminating on both, and adjust accordingly.
The eyes can distinguish several million graduations of light and shade of color.
Each waking second they flash tens of millions of pieces of information to the brain,
which weaves them incessantly into a picture of the world around us.
Yet all this is done at the back of each eye by a fabric of sensors, called the retina,
about as wide and as thick as a postage stamp. As the Renaissance inventor and artist
Leonardo da Vinci wrote in wonder, “Who would believe that so small a space could
contain the images of all the universe?”
16.Visual illusions often take place when the image of reality is ___.
A.matched to six to seven million structures called cones.
B.confused in the body’s sensors of both rods and cones.
C.interpreted in the brain as what must be the case.
D.signaled by about 120 million rods in the eye.
17.The visual sensor that is capable of distinguishing shades of color is called
___.
A.cones
B.color vision
C.rods
D.spectrum
18.The retina send pulses to the brain ___.
A.in short wavelengths
B.as color pictures
C.by a ganglion cell
D.along the optic nerve.
19.Twenty-four still photographs are made into a continuous moving picture just
because ___.
A.the image we see usually stays longer than it actually appears.
B.we see an object in comparison with its surroundings.
C.the eyes catch million pieces of information continuously.
D.rods and cones send messages 20 to 25 times a second.
20.The author’s purpose in writing the passage lies in ___.
A.showing that we sometimes are deceived by our own eyes.
B.informing us about the different functions of the eye organs.

We can begin our discussion of “population as global issue” with what most persons
mean when they discuss “the population problem”: too many people on earth and a
too rapid increase in the number added each year. The facts are not in dispute, It
was quite right to employ the analogy that likened demographic growth to “a long,
thin powder fuse that burns steadily and haltingly until it finally reaches the
charge and explodes.”
To understand the current situation, which is characterized by rapid increases in
population, it is necessary to understand the history of population trends. Rapid
growth is a comparatively recent phenomenon. Looking back at the 8,000 years of
demographic history, we find that populations have been virtually stable or growing
very slightly for most of human history. For most of our ancestors, life was hard,
often nasty, and very short. There was high fertility in most places, but this was
usually balanced by high mortality. For most of human history, it was seldom the
case that one in ten persons would live past forty, while infancy and childhood were
especially risky periods. Often, societies were in clear danger of extinction
because death rates could exceed their birthrates. Thus, the population problem
throughout most of history was how to prevent extinction of the human race.
This pattern is important to notice. Not only does it put the current problems of
demographic growth into a historical perspective, but it suggests that the cause
of rapid increase in population in recent years is not a sudden enthusiasm for more
children, but an improvement in the conditions that traditionally have caused high
mortality.
Demographic history can be divided into two major periods: a time of long, slow growth
which extended from about 8,000 BC.till approximately AD. 1650. In the first period
of some 9600 years, the population increased from some 8 million to 500 million in
1650. Between 1650 and the present, the population has increased from 500 million
to more than 4 billion. And it is
estimated that by the year 2000 there will be
6.2 billion people throughout the world. One way to appreciate this dramatic
difference in such abstract numbers is to reduce the time frame to something that
is more manageable. Between 8000BC and 1650, an average of only 50,000 persons was
being added annually to the world’s population each year. At present, this number
is added every six hours. The increase is about 80,000,000 persons annually.
21.Which of the following demographic growth pattern is most suitable for the long
thin powder fuse analogy?
A.A virtually stable or slightly decreasing period and then a sudden explosion of
population.
B.A slow growth for a long time and then a period of rapid, dramatic increase.
C.Too many people on earth and a few rapid increase in the number added each year.
D.A long period when death rates exceeds birthrates and then a short period with
higher fertility and lower mortality.
答案：A
22.During the first period of demographic history, societies were often in danger
of extinction because___.
A.only one in ten persons could live past 40.
B.there was higher mortality than fertility in most places.
C.it was too dangerous to have babies due to the poor conditions.
D.our ancestors had little enthusiasm for more children.
答案：B
23.Which statement is true about population increase?
A.There might be an increase of 2.2 billion persons from now to the year 2000.
B.About 50,000 babies are born every six hours at present.
C.Between 8000 BC and the present, the population increase is about 80,000,000
persons each year.
D.The population increased faster between 8000BC and 1650 than between 1650 and the
present.
答案：A
24.The author of the passage intends to___.
A.warn people against the population explosion in the near future.
B.compare the demographic growth pattern in the past with that after 1650.
C.find out the cause for rapid increase in population in recent years.
D.present us a clear and complete picture of the demographic growth.
答案：D
25.The word “demographic” in the first paragraph means___.
A.statistics of human.
B.surroundings study.
C.accumulation of human.
D.development of human.
答案：A
资料 6：
On the 36th day after they had voted, Americans finally learned Wednesday who would
be their next president: Governor George W. Bush of Texas.
Vice President Al Gore, his last realistic avenue for legal challenge closed by a
U. S. Supreme Court decision late Tuesday, planned to end the contest formally in
a televised evening speech of perhaps 10 minutes, advisers said.
They said that Senator Joseph Lieberman, his vice presidential running mate, would
first make brief comments. The men would speak from a ceremonial chamber of the Old
Executive office Building, to the west of the White House.
The dozens of political workers and lawyers who had helped lead Mr. Gore’s
unprecedented fight to claw a come-from-behind electoral victory in the pivotal
state of Florida were thanked Wednesday and asked to stand down.
“The vice president has directed the recount committee to suspend activities,”
William Daley, the Gore campaign chairman, said in a written statement.
Mr. Gore authorized that statement after meeting with his wife, Tipper, and with
top advisers including Mr. Daley.
He was expected to telephone Mr. Bush during the day. The Bush campaign kept a low
profile and moved gingerly, as if to leave space for Mr. Gore to contemplate his
next steps.
Yet, at the end of a trying and tumultuous process that had focused world attention
on sleepless vote counters across Florida, and on courtrooms form Miami to
Tallahassee to Atlanta to Washington the Texas governor was set to become the 43d
U. S. president.
The news of Mr. Gore’s plans followed the longest and most rancorous dispute over
a U. S. presidential election in more than a century, one certain to leave scars
in a badly divided country.
It was a bitter ending for Mr. Gore, who had outpolled Mr. Bush nationwide by some
300000 votes, but, without Florida, fell short in the Electoral College by 271votes
to 267—the narrowest Electoral College victory since the turbulent election of
1876.
Mr. Gore was said to be distressed by what he and many Democratic activists felt
was a partisan decision from the nation’s highest court.
The 5-to –4 decision of the Supreme Court held, in essence, that while a vote recount
in Florida could be conducted in legal and constitutional fashion, as Mr. Gore had
