The correspondent banks are paid indirectly, in the form of income from
32、deposit balances maintained by its bank customers, as well as by direct money payments. Small banks may have 5 or 6 correspondent banks, which provide many services; bookkeeping services(especially those that require large computers); assistance in the sale or purchase of assets(including the consol
33、idation of purchases with other buyers); and the provision of information about capital markets(including the sale of equity shares in their banks). Large banks may have as many as 30 correspondent banks that provide services and representation in other localities(including foreign countries)and spe
34、cialized services that the correspondents can offer at a smaller cost.Until 1981 the Federal Reserve had provided free check-clearing facilities to its members, but nonmember banks relied entirely on correspondent banks to clear their checks. The correspondent banks often clear nonmember banks check
35、s through the Federal Reserve. In 1979, the Federal Reserve cleared 32 billion checks, totaling $ 35 trillion. The total amount of cheeks debited against all insured banks in October 1982 was $ 93. 5 trillion, of which 42 percent was from New York banks. Private clearing houses owned by groups of ba
36、nks handled a large amount and so did the Federal Reserve, which began charging for that service.51 The correspondent bank can only make money for its services to other banks from deposit balances maintained by bank customers.（A）Right（B） Wrong（C） Doesnt say52 A correspondent bank may supply the foll
37、owing services to other commercial banks:A. keeping accountsB. assisting in the sale or purchase of assetsC. providing information about capital markets（A）Right（B） Wrong（C） Doesnt say53 The Federal Reserve has been providing free check-clearing facilities to all the banks.（A）Right（B） Wrong（C） Doesnt
38、 say54 The amount of checks debited against New York banks in October 1982 was 27 trillion, which was 42% of the aggregate amount of checks of all the insured banks that month.（A）Right（B） Wrong（C） Doesnt say54 A major type of risk that banks face is credit risk or the failure of a counter-party to p
39、erform according to a contractual arrangement. This risk applies not only to loans but also to other on-and-off balance sheet exposures such as guarantees, acceptances and securities investments. Serious banking problems have arisen from the failure of banks to recognize impaired assets, to create r
40、eserves for writing off these assets, and to suspend recognition of interest income when appropriate.55 “Balance Sheet“ means the statement on which a bank s assets and liabilities are listed.（A）Right（B） Wrong（C） Doesnt say56 The word “exposures“ in this paragraph can be understood as “risks“.（A）Rig
41、ht（B） Wrong（C） Doesnt say57 Reserves for writing off impaired assets are unnecessary.（A）Right（B） Wrong（C） Doesnt say57 Foreign exchange is by definition foreign to the holder; otherwise, it would be domestic exchange or in modern practice, local currency and legal tender. Foreign exchange typically
42、is not legal tender and is therefore not acceptable in exchange for goods and services to whom it is being offered; hence, the desire to exchange it into something closer to home in terms of acceptability. Foreign exchange markets are nearly always markets that convert issues of foreign money for lo
43、cal units. The New York foreign exchange market, for example, is essentially a market for exchange foreign currencies against the US dollar. It is possible in New York to exchange French francs for Swedish kronor, but the normal practice would be to sell French francs for U. S. as a first step and t
44、hen to sell US dollars and buy Swedish kronor as a second step in order to complete the transaction. Markets in other countries would be similar in structure and mechanical operation.58 Foreign exchange is convertible currency but foreign to the holder.（A）Right（B） Wrong（C） Doesnt say59 The reason th
45、at foreign exchange markets exist is because people have a strong desire to get foreign currencies to travel round the world, to buy goods produced in other countries.（A）Right（B） Wrong（C） Doesnt say60 The New York foreign exchange market is a market for exchanging foreign currencies against any conv
46、ertible currencies.（A）Right（B） Wrong（C） Doesnt say四、阅读理解60 Most commercial letters of credit are documentary, meaning that certain documents must be included with any drafts drawn under the terms of the credit. Documents required usually include an order bill of lading, a commercial invoice, and any
47、 of the following; consular invoice, insurance certificate or policy, certificate of origin, weight list, packing list.The first is the standby letter of credit, in which the issuing bank undertakes to pay if the applicant does not carry out his obligations. Documents normally called for are evidenc
48、es of the underlying transaction, such as non-negotiable copies of bills of lading, or third party s certificate certifying the non-payment by the applicant. The second is the indemnity for minor discrepancies in the documents given to the shipping company so that the issuing bank may make payment o
