36、d arbitrageurs play a particularly important role in the market. It is largely the speculators who take on the risks that the hedgers seek to shed, while the arbitrageurs, by ensuring that futures prices constantly stay in line with other markets, give both hedgers and speculators the confidence tha

37、t they are doing their deals at the right price. The volume of deals for arbitrage and speculation purposes is much higher than that for hedging purposes. This is similar to the foreign exchange markets, where it has been estimated that, the foreign exchange business needed in any one year for comme

38、rce and tourism is all done by 11 a.m. on 2, January, while the rest of the year is taken up with speculating and arbitraging. However, the purpose of the futures markets and what makes them different from a simple gambling ring in the eyes of the law, is to provide a service to those commercial ent

39、erprises which seek to hedge their risks. It is their money which drives much larger volume of other transactions and not the other way round. You might have expected, as is certainly the case in most other financial markets, that big institutions would be more ready and able than small individuals

40、to shoulder the risks involved in dealing speculatively in futures. However, futures markets are exceptional in this regard. In contrast to other financial markets, which are dominated by big institutions, or at least by fairly sizeable firms, the lifeblood of a successful futures market is its “loc

41、als“ independent firms of only a few individuals trading for their own account. It is these quick-witted, aggressive and generally rather blunt-spoken individuals, viewed usually by outsiders with the utmost mistrust, who take the risks that others use the futures market to shed, and provide the mar

42、kets with the liquidity without which they would he dead. The single reason why Chicago took off as a financial futures market where others lagged behind is that the CBOT and IMM already had a large pool of locals ready to turn their hand from soya beans to long bonds and provide the new contracts w

43、ith risk-taking capacity. 71 According to the passage, the main purposes of futures contracts are _. （ A） to hedge （ B） to speculate （ C） to arbitrage （ D） all of the above 72 Arbitrageurs in the futures markets are those people who _. （ A） take on the risks that hedgers want to shed （ B） seek to he

44、dge their risks （ C） make the futures prices move in accordance with other markets （ D） all of the above 73 Which of the following statements is true? （ A） The volume of deals for hedging purposes is much higher than that for arbitraging and speculative purposes. （ B） The foreign exchange business f

45、or commerce and tourism must be done before 11a.m.on 2 January. （ C） It is hedgers money that drives much larger volume of other transactions. （ D） None of the above. 74 The lifeblood of a successful futures market is _. （ A） big institutions responsible for their own risks （ B） fairly sizeable firm

46、s （ C） independent firms of a few individuals trading for their own account （ D） none of the above 75 The best title for the passage can he _. （ A） What Are Futures Used for （ B） Who Are the Arbitrageurs, Speculators and Hedgers （ C） How to Hedge Risks （ D） How to Trade in Futures Market 五、写作 76 For

47、eign exchange markets provide services for international investors or financiers such as forward transactions and foreign currency futures to eliminate certain risks. 77 The central bank usually acts as a lender of last resort to protect commercial banks against a temporary liquidity drain. 78 The r

48、eform of Chinese foreign exchange system accelerated in 1994 with the introduction of conditional current account convertibility, unification of exchange market and adoption of a market-based managed floating exchange rate. 79 In services like fund transfer, clearing, trust and factoring, banks act
