　　Banks view online banking as a powerful “value-added” tool to attract and keep new customers while helping to eliminate costly paper handling or teller interactions in an increasingly competitive banking environment．

　　Today, most large national banks, many local banks and credit unions offer some form of online banking, variously known as PC banking, home banking, electronic banking or Internet banking．Online banks are sometimes referred to as “brick-to-click” banks, both to tell them from “brick-to-mortar” banks that haven’t yet offered online banking, as well as from “virtual” banks that have no physical branches or tellers whatsoever．

　　The challenge for the banking industry has been to design this new service channel in such a way that its customers will readily learn to use and trust it．Most of the large banks can now offer fully safe, fully functional online banking for free or for a small cost．As more banks succeed online and more customers use their sites, fully functional online banking will likely become as common place as automated teller machines(ATM)．

　　Online banking has a lot of advantages．Unlike your corner bank, online banking sites never close; they’re at hand 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and they’re a mouse click away．If you’re out of state or even out of the country when a money problem appears, you can log on instantly to your online bank and take care of business．Online bank sites generally carry out and confirm deals at or quicker than ATM processing speeds．Many online banking sites now offer fashionable tools to help you manage all of your valuable items more effectively．

(1)

The word “eliminate” in the first paragraph probably means “_________”．
[　　]
A．	Keep
B．	remove
C．	reduce
D．	improve

(2)

What is the challenge for the banking industry according to the text?
[　　]
A．	To make online banking attractive．
B．	To open new services all over the world．
C．	To offer online banking for free．
D．	To take care of business 24 hours a day．

(3)

From the text we can conclude that _________．
[　　]
A．	“brick-to-click” banks are in fact another kind of physical banks
B．	the function of a “brick-to-click” bank is as common as that of an ATM
C．	a “ brick-to-motar” bank is no better than a virtual one
D．	customers can deal with their banking by a mouse click

(4)

What would be the best title for this text?
[　　]
A．	Banking of Various Forms
B．	Improvement of Banking Industry
C．	Development of Online Banking
D．	Functions of the “Brick-to-Click” Bank

答案：1．B;2．A;3．D;4．C;
解析：

(1)	本题为猜测词义题。网上存钱当然就用不着昂贵的“paper handling or teller(出纳员)interactions”了，所以eliminate的意思是“除去”。
(2)	本题为细节题。根据第三段“The challenge(挑战)for the banking industry has been to design this new service channel in such a way that its customers will readily learn to use and trust it．”可知网上银行努力使人们乐意学习使用它，并信任它，也就是要使它有吸引力。
(3)	本题为推断题。网上银行当然是使用鼠标进行操作了。A项中physical banks 是与虚拟的银行相对的；B项的意思是网上银行的功能和ATM一样，原文中的意思是功能齐全的网上银行和ATM一样平凡；C项中no better than的意思是as bad as，原文中得不出这样的结论。
(4)	本题为归纳标题题。这篇短文是以说明on line 即brick-to-click bank为主的，但不只是说它的功能，还提到了它的优势\，它数量的增加\，它面临的挑战等，所以C项最合适。

　　Sydney－A shark savaged a schoolboy's leg while he was surfing with his father at a beach in Sydney on February 23．It was the third shark attack along the coast of Australia's largest city in a month．

　　The 15-year-old boy and his father were in the water off Avalon, on Sydney's northern beaches, around dawn when he was attacked．The city's beaches are packed with locals and tourists during the summer months．

　　“The father heard a scream and turned to see his son trashing(扭动)about in the water,”police said．“Fortunately, the shark swam away and the boy was helped to shore by his father．”

　　Lifesaving Club spokesman Nick Miller said,“It got him around the top of his left leg and the father came and dragged his out of water．”He said the boy was bleeding heavily when he was brought to the shore．“There was a lot of pain, as you can imagine．”The teenager was airlifted to hospital for treatment for leg injuries．

　　Police said the bites“cut through to the bone”, but the boy did not appear to have sustained any fractures(骨折)．He was in a stable condition now．

　　Several beaches were closed after the attack．Water police and lifeguards were searching for the shark, while police hoped to identify its species by the shape of the bite marks．But they said it was too early to say what type of shark attacked the boy．“I don't even know if he saw it,”Miller said．

　　Many shark species live in the waters off Sydney's beaches, but attacks on humans are still relatively rare．However, there were two attacks on successive days earlier this month, one on a navy diver in Sydney harbor, not far from the famous Opera House, and the other on a surfer at the city's world-famous Bondi beach．

　　Fishermen say shark numbers are on the rise．There is a ban on commercial fishing in the harbor, which has increased fish stocks．Marine experts also claim environmental protection has created a cleaner environment, attracting sharks closer to the shore as they chase fish．Many shark species, including the Great White－the man-eaters made famous in Steven Spielberg's Jaws－are protected in Australian waters．

　　A ban on smoking in public places has come into force in China – home to a third of the world's smokers．

　　The move is aimed at controlling the number of deaths from smoking-related diseases, running at a million a year．

　　But the rules have been criticized, because they do not include punishments for those who choose to ignore them．

　　The rules do not allow smoking in places like restaurants, hotels, railway stations or theatres, but not at the office．

　　Employers have a duty to warn staff off the dangers of smoking but do not have to forbid them from lighting up at their desks．

　　Shanghai introduced similar rules a year ago, but people do not seem to take much notice of them．Often you find people smoking at the next table while you are eating your meal or having a drink in a bar．The problem is that the rules do not include punishments for businesses or individuals who ignore them．

　　It appears that many Chinese people are unaware of the dangers of smoking．Research suggests that only one in four knows the harm cigarettes of second-hand smoke can cause．
