At issue is the more than S1 million market in leveraged loans. Thats Wall Street jargon for loans to business with less than rook-solid finances, Federal Reserve and European Central Hank officials have drawn to the rise in corporate debt and the deterioration or lending standards. The loans are often bundled into securities ollateralized loan obligations (CLOs).Most of the watchdogs are carceful to say a repeat of the 2007-2008 crisis is unlikely because most of the debt banks. But that creates another problem Regulators focused on banks are largely in the dark when it comes to where the risks he and how they might ripple through the financial system when the economy turns down. A big over-indebted businesses could face severe stress and, in some cases, insolvency, threatening jobs and deepen downturn.The mechanics of the leveraged loan market will be familiar to students of the housing crisis.With interesting investors are willing to take greater risks to get higher yields. That makes lots of money available for lending. we makes it easier for less creditworthy companies to borrow .Rather than keep the risky loans on their books, lender them to asset managers that package them into securities -C1Ds-that are sold to investors such as insurers and hedge funds.Yields on the riskicst portions of CLOs can approach 9% a year. And the growth of leveraged lending has been post crisis bank regulations that helped the rise or shadow lenders financial companics that arent regulated like market for levcraged loans has more than doubled since 2012.The risk taking could get worse: With demand by borrowers for levcraged loans declining this year, those still financing have been able to extract looser learns.About 85% of leveraged loans are held by nonbanks, according to Wells Fargo rescarch.But banks may play a larger robe than may assumc, according to Gaurav V asisht, drector for financial regulation at the Volcker Alliance, a good-governance group, Banks are involved in all stages of the process. They underwrite loans, sell them to the CLOs, invest in those securities, and then hedge those risks in the market.“One common narrative is that banks dont have much risk or arent exposed 1o it. Vasisht said at the hearing, Banks are exposed to it.Just beeause banks are safer doesnt necessarily mean the financial system is, says Karen Petron, managing partner at Federal Financial Analytics, a regulatory- analysis firm. Debt investors might not be as resilient in a crisis, and their problems could create shock waves. Banking regulators are being a htte myopic when they re looking only at the banking system for systemic risk, she says.- Sally Bakewell and Thomas Beardsworth. The ollteralized loan obligations (CLOs)( ). A.are securities back by loansB.are sold to companies with good financeC.have very low yieldsD.do not have much risks答案：A 本题解析：它享有高达9%的收益率，通常提供给负债累累的公司，并且享有高额风险，这些在文章中都明确提到，排除BCD.所以答案选A.19.A.见图AB.见图BC.见图CD.见图D答案：A 本题解析：原式=（1/11/3）2+（1/31/5）2+（1/51/7）2（1/20131/2015）2=（11/2015）2=1007/201520.法国人为什么会把雄鸡作为本国的象征？流行的说法是在拉丁语中“高卢人”与“雄鸡”两词的书写和发音正好相同，于是以高卢人为祖先的法国人自然地将雄鸡当作本国的象征。这种把法国象征的来源简单地归为文字游戏的说法非常值得怀疑。其实，最早将法国比喻为雄鸡的是法国的敌人。在中世纪，雄鸡的形象往往是负面的：自负、易怒、好斗、爱虚荣。即使是在法国人自己的作品中，如列那狐传奇，雄鸡也常常遭到狐狸的欺骗或成为动物们的口中之食。因此，法国的敌人巧妙地将法国国王和他的臣民比喻为雄鸡。这段文字是一篇文章的引言，文章接下来最可能讲述的是（）。A.法国人为什么喜欢雄鸡B.雄鸡形象负面意义产生的原因C.法国文学作品中的雄鸡形象D.法国人如何赋予雄鸡新的含义答案：D 本题解析：文段开篇提出把雄鸡作为法国象征的来源简单地归为文字游戏的说法非常值得怀疑，并指出最早将法国比喻为雄鸡的是法国敌人。在中世纪，雄鸡的形象往往是负面的，但是为什么法国会将雄鸡作为自己的象征，因此后文应该阐述的是法国人如何赋予雄鸡新的含义，使之成为自己的象征。21.以下说法错误的是（） 。A.法人可以由厂长、经理、董事长担任B.法人的实质，是一定社会组织在法律上的人格化C.法人是指特定的社会组织D.代表法人行使职权的负责人，是法人的法定代表人答案：A 本题解析：法人不是人22.有些人若有某一次厌食，会对这次膳食中有特殊味道的食物持续产生强烈厌恶，不管这种食物是否会对身体有利。这种现象可以解释为什么小孩更易于对某些食物产生强烈的厌食。 以下哪项如果为真，最能加强上述解释?( )A.小孩的膳食配搭中含有特殊味道的食物比成年人多。B.对未尝过的食物，成年人比小孩更容易产生抗拒心理。C.小孩的嗅觉和味觉比成年人敏锐。D.和成年人相比，小孩较为缺乏食物与健康的相关知识。答案：C 本题解析：题干的现象得以出现的必要条件是：厌食者具有足够敏锐的嗅觉和味觉。如果C为真，则有助于解释小孩更易于产生厌食。23.YANGON-Myanmar has officially accepted an offer of the United States to send humanitarian aid to the countrys cyclone victims, state radio reported Friday in a night broadcast. Myanmar Deputy Foreign Minister Kyaw Thu gave the assurance Friday, saying that the country is receiving such relief aid from any country without limit at this time according to its policy of dealing with the disaster, the report said.Kyaw Thu denied rumors about Myanmars turning down of such relief materials from Western countries but accept those from nations in good relations with Myanmar, saying that the country has never done so in this case.Kyaw Thu said that well wishers abroad may make cash donation through Myanmar embassies stationed there, while those who like to donate relief goods may present at the Yangon International Airport and seaports.According to the report, the US relief aid would arrive in Yangon in days.A foreign ministrys statement said earlier on Friday that at this moment, the international community can best help the victims by donating emergency provisions such as medical supplies, food, cloth, electricity generator, and materials for emergency shelter or with financial assistance, adding that Myanmar will wholeheartedly welcome such course of action.The government and the people of Myanmar are grateful to the friendly nations, the United Nations, international organizations, non-governmental organizations, private individuals and others for their sympathy and generosity. it said. What is Myanmars policy toward the aids from abroad?A.Myanmar prefers cash donation to relief goodsB.Myanmar only receives emergency provisions such as medical supplies, food, cloth, electricity generator, etcC.Myanmar receives donation relief aid from any country without any limitD.Myanmar prefers relief goods to cash donation答案：C 本题解析：细节理解题。答案可以从第二段和倒数第一段找出。24. 对建筑和制造业的安全研究表明，企业工作负荷量加大时，工伤率也随之提高。工作负荷增大时，企业总是雇佣大量的不熟练的工人，毫无疑问，工伤率上升是由非熟练工的低效率造成的。则能够对上述观点作出最强的反驳的一项是( )。 A.负荷量增加时，企业雇佣非熟练工只是从事临时性的工作B.建筑业的工伤率比制造业高C.只要企业工作负荷增加，熟练工人的事故率总是随之增高D.需要雇佣新人的企业应加强职业训练答案：C 本题解析：本题正确答案C。这种类型的题是利用直言命题的反驳关系解题法，可以从选项入手，只要我们找到一个特例来反驳就可以削弱题干了，题干的结论是说工伤率上升是由于非熟练工低效率造成那么C项所说的只要企业工作负荷增加，那么熟练工人的事故率就随之上升，显然，最有力地反驳了题干的观点。因此选C。25.根据下列内容，回答186-190题。Success is often measured by the ability to overcome adversity. But, it is often the belief ofothers that gives us the courage to try.J. K. Rowling, author of the Harry Potter book series, began writing at age 6. In herbiography, she remembers with great fondness when her good friend, Sean, whom she met insecondary school, became the first person to encourage her and help build the confidence that oneday she would be a very good writer.He was the first person with whom I really discussed my serious ambition to be a writer. Hewas also the only person who thought I was bound to be a success at it, which meant much more tome than I ever told him at the time.Despite many setbacks Rowling persevered in her writing, particularly fantasy stories. But itwasnt until 1990 that she first conceived the idea about Harry Potter. As she recalls, it was on along train journey from London to Manchester that the idea of Harry Potter simply fell into myhead. To my immense frustration (沮丧), I didnt have a functioning pen with me, and I was tooshy to ask anybody if I could borrow one. I think, now, that this was probably a good thing,because I simply sat and thought, for four(delayed train) hours, and all the details bubbled up inmy brain, and this scrawny, black-haired, bespectacled boy who didnt know he was a wizardbecame more and more real to me.That same year, her mother passed away after a ten-year battle with multiple sclerosis, whichdeeply affected her writing. She went on to marry and had a daughter, but separated from herhusband shortly afterwards.During this time,Rowling was diagnosed with clinical depression. Unemployed,shecompleted her first novel in area cafes, where she could get her daughter to fall asleep. After beingrejected by 12 publishing houses, the first Harry Potter novel was sold to a small Britishpublishing house.Now with seven books that have sold nearly 400 million copies in 64 languages, J. K. Rowlingis the highest earning novelist in history. And it all began with her commitment to writing that wasfostered by the confidence of a friend !Who believed J.K.Rowling was to be a good writer?_A.Her friend SeanB.Her motherC.Her daughterD.Her husband答案：A 本题解析：文章第二段最后一句话“And it all began with her commitment to writing that wasfostered by the confidence of a friend!”可以得知，罗琳在写小说的时候是一个朋友给的自信。因此，选A。26.为了保护中华传统文化资源，传承和弘扬中华文明，传统文化申遗无疑意义重大，但是更值得思考的是，申遗只能给这些非物质文化遗产一个名分，要想使传统文化真正发扬光大、深入人心，还有许多文章要做。其中最重要的是要丰富传统文化的内涵，使之与当代人的文化定位接轨，这样才能唤起当代中国人对传统文化的浓厚兴趣，激发人们参与传统文化的热情，从而达到保护传统文化的目的。这段文字意在强调（）。A.要提升国人对传统文化的认知度、参与度B.要丰富传统文化的内涵，使之适应当代人的口味C.要给传统文化资源申请文化遗产保护。使其发扬光大D.要加强对传统文化的宣传力度，激发国人的民族认同感答案：B 本题解析：文段中出现了“最重要的是”，表明后面说的是作者尤其想强调的，即“要丰富传统文化的内涵。使之与当代人的文化定位接轨”，B项与此表述最为一致。A项同样是文段最后一句的内容，但具体而言，它概括的是“这样才能”后的内容。根据“只有才”条件关系关联词强调的一般是条件的规律可知，“这样才能”前面的内容才是句子强调的重点，故A项不是最后一句的重点。本题答案选B。27.通过检査甲虫化石，一研究小组对英国在过去2. 2万年内的气温提出了到目前为止最为详尽的描述。该研究小组对现在的生物化石进行挑选，并确定了它们的日期。当发现在同一地方发现的几种生物的个体属于同一时间段时，现存的甲虫类生物的巳知忍受温度就可以被用来决定那个地方在那段时间内的夏季的最髙温度。研究者的论述过程依赖于下面哪项假设？（）A.甲虫忍耐温暖天气的能力比忍耐寒冷天气的能力强B.在同一地方发现的不同物种的化石属于不同的时期C.确定甲虫日期的方法比确定其他生物日期的方法准确D.在过去的2.2万年的时间内，甲虫类生物的可忍受气温没有明显变化答案：D 本题解析：前提假设型题。D是必须假设的，否则，不能通过现存甲虫的忍耐温度推测以前甲虫的忍耐温度。所以选D。28.第49题答案是_A.handedB.lentC.returnedD.threw答案：A 本题解析：hand sthto sb“把某物递给某人”，故选A。29.“人造太阳”的原理，就是在这台装置的真空室内加入少量的氢同位素氘或氚，通过类似变压 器的原理使其产生等离子体，然后提高其密度、温度使其发生聚变反应，产生巨大的能量。“人造太阳”指（ ）。A.由氢的同位素氘或氚组成的物质B.间真空室C.一台装置D.会产生巨大能量的物质答案：C 本题解析：“人造太阳”就是“在这台装置”可见其所说的“人造太阳”指的就是 “这台装置”。30.一艘船沿河顺流而下，以时速20千米的速度从甲地前往乙地，一共花了7个小时。已知水流速度不变，甲乙两地相距210千米。从乙地返回甲地时，船速翻了一番，则到达乙地需要多长时间? ( )A.6小时15分B.5小时15分C.7小时D.8小时答案：C 本题解析：设水速为v，则顺流而下时可得210- (20+v)X7, 解得v-10，从乙地返回甲地是逆流而上，且船速翻了一番也即20X2= 40千米每小时，则需要的时间为210 +(40-10) =7小时，C选项正确，A、B、D选项错误。故本题应选C。31.关于行政机关和机构的设立，下列说法中，正确的是（ ）。A.经国务院批准，省人民政府可以设立行政公署B.经市公安局批准，县公安局可以设立派出所C.经全国人大常委会批准，国务院可以设立直属机构D.经市人民政府批准，县人民政府可以设立区公所答案：A 本题解析：略32.一位美国学者指出，第二次鸦片战争期间，美国只是“给予联军以道义上的支持和合作”，却在战后获得了很多权益。其中一项权益是( )A.获得军费赔偿B.进驻北京使馆区(界)C.在华开设工厂D.在沿江口岸自由航行答案：D 本题解析：第二次鸦片战争后，中国被迫签订天津条约，规定外国军舰和商船可以在长江各口岸自由航行。故本题答案选D。33.When we analyze the salt salinity (盐浓度) of ocean waters, we find that it varies only slightly from place to place Nevertheless, some of these small changes are important There are three basic processes that cause a change in oceanic salinity One of these is the subtraction of water from the ocean by means of evaporation In this manner, the salinity is increased, since the salt stays behind If this is carried to the extreme, of course, white salt would be left behind ; this, by the way,is how much of the table salt we use is actually obtainedThe opposite of evaporation is precipitation, such as rain, by which water is added to the ocean Here the ocean is being diluted so that the salinity is decreased This may occur in areas of high rainfall or in coastal regions where rivers flow into the ocean Thus salinity may be increased by the subtraction of water by evaporation, or decreased by the addition of fresh water by precipitationNormally, in hot regions where the sun is very strong, the ocean salinity is somewhat higher than it is in other parts of the world where there is not as much evaporation similarly, in coastalGrandma, who used to live upstairs, is now the voice on long distance, and the working parent is far too beaten down each day to spend evening relaxation time listening to the sandbox experience of an eager four-year-oldSo family conversation is as extinct as my old toys and parental questions such as What have you been doing, Bobby? have been replaced by I m busy, go watch televisionAnd watch TV they do; count them by the millionsBut its usually not childrens television that children watch Saturday morning, the childrens hour, amounts to only about 8 percent of their weekly viewingWhere are they to be found?Watching adult television, of course, from the Match Game in the morning, to the afternoon at General Hospital, from the muggings and battles on the evening news right through the family hour and past into Starsky and Hutch Thats where you find our kids, over five million of them, at 10 pm, not fewer than a million until after midnight!
