第10题：
There's been a steady drumbeat of warmings about a surge in risky corporate borrowing-but not much clarity serious the threat is. At issue is the more than S1 million market in leveraged loans. That's 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 aren't 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 don't have much risk or aren't exposed 1o it. Vasisht said at the hearing, "Banks are exposed to it."
Just beeause banks are safer doesn't 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.

第11题：
资料：Italy's next government, a coalition between the populistFive Star Movement and the far-right Northern League, is giving investors plenty to worry about. Leaked plans, hastily abandoned, suggested it might want to leave the euro or ask the European Central Bank to forgive €250bn（$292bn） of Italian debt. But less attention has been paid to what it might mean for Italian banks, and in particular for their biggest burden: non-performing loans（NPLs）. Over €185bn of NPLs were outstanding at the end of 2017, the most for any country in the European Union. （1）
By comparison with Greece where NPLs are 45% of loans, Italy looks manageable with just 11.1%. And it has made progress: in late 2015 NPLs were 16.8% of loans. But any wild policy lurches would put that progress in question. The clean-up of banks’ books has relied on openness to foreign investors. Huge volumes of NPLs（€37bn in 2016 and over €47bn in 2017, according to Deloitte, a consultancy） have been sold by banks, often to specialist American hedge funds like Cerberus Capital Management or Fortress. （2）
These so-called vulture funds may find life harder under the new government. Given the importance of being able to repossess the collateral for secured loans, NPL investors have been taken aback by a proposal to prevent any action against a debtor without the involvement of a court. This would run counter to efforts to increase the use of out-of-court settlement for collateral across the EU. （3）
The future of GACS, a scheme for providing an Italian government guarantee to the senior tranches of NPL securitisations （with the EU's blessing）, is also in question. Despite a slow start in 2016, it has come to play a large role. An NPL sale last year by UniCredit, a large bank, worth€l7.7bn, was subject to the scheme. Another €38bn-worh of Italian NPL deals in progress will be too, according to Debtwire, a news service. But investors now worry that GACS will not be renewed once it expires失效 in September, contrary to previous plans. （4）
European regulators have made a concerted effort to deal with NPLs. In March the European Commission proposed laws to make cross-border operations easier for debt （5）
Markets have deepened in tandem. As well as the specialist funds doing large deals,more options for trading NPLs have emerged. One example is Debitos, a trading platform that started in Germany and that allows investors to trade in NPLs from 11 European countries, including Italy and Greece. Most of its sales are between €50m and €200m and interest often comes from local investors, says Timur Peters, its founder—for example, from individuals who buy property—backed NPLs as a way to acquire those properties. （6）
A liquid pan-European market in NPLs ought to prevent banks’ bad loans from accumulating and threatening their stability, as during the most recent crisis. But Italy would, because of its sheer size, be the largest source of such loans for the foreseeable future. And any market with real doubts about the largest supplier is almost certain to be a stunted one. （7）
Which is incorrect about the chart?A.The total loans of Italy were about €1667bn in the year of 2017.
B.The proportion of the NPLs in total loans of Greece is the highest among all.
C.Greece had much more total loans than that of Spain in spite of lower NPLs.
D.France had most total loans in the list of about €4350bn in 2017.答案：C解析：本题考查的是细节判断。
【关键词】incorrect，chart
【主题句】见表格
【解析】题目意为“根据表格，以下哪项是错误的？”选项A意为“2017年意大利总贷款约为16670亿欧元”，由表格可知，意大利2017年4月贷款约为18850亿欧元，占整年总贷款的，因此意大利整年总贷款为亿欧元，故选项A正确。选项B意为“希腊NPL总贷款占比是最高的”，根据表格可以看到，希腊总贷款占比为，为所有表格中国家最高，故选项B正确。选项C意为“尽管不良贷款率较低，但希腊的贷款总额远远高于西班牙”，根据表格可以看出，希腊的总贷款亿欧元，西班牙总贷款亿欧元，故选项C错误。选项D意为“2017年法国总贷款是表格中最高的，约为43500亿欧元”，根据表格，运算可知，选项D正确。题目要求选择错误的一项。 -

听力原文： Some banks offer other types of loans repayable by monthly installments, such as business development loans, house improvement loans, and farm development loans. These may be either secured or unsecured. Secured loans attract a slightly lower rate of interest than unsecured loans. Some banks offer revolving credit schemes.

First, the borrower need not take up the full amount of the loan at the outset. Secondly, as his repayments reduce his indebtedness, he can "top up" his loan by borrowing more, provided that the total debt outstanding does not exceed his agreed credit limit. In 1967 some banks introduced a new form. of account called a "budget account". The object is to allow personal customers to spread the incidence of normal personal and household expenditure.

短文理解
听力原文： The banking system of China evolved from a mono-banking system between the 1940s and the early 1970s. Not until 1978 did China's banking system make a drastic shift in its banking philosophy and structure. The shift is not only a necessity for the country's development, but also acts as a gesture showing the "openness" of the country to the outside world.
Today, after nearly forty years of rapid development, China is moving towards a modem and market-oriented banking structure although there is still much to be improved to meet the needs of the country's development.
In the mid 1990s, banks in China began to focus their attention on capital adequacy requirements, non-performing and bad loans, profitability and also the industry's overall expansion strategy. Reforms of monetary and financial system in China are speeding up in the 90s. Existing specialized banks gradually have become commercial banks.
21. What kind of banking system did China have before the 1980s?
22.Up to now, how long has China experienced rapid development?
23.What are the banks in China focusing their attention on?
