第1题：
听力原文： Some people dream of being President of the United States. Some dream of becoming stars in a Hollywood movie, and others of making millions of dollars overnight. But, could a dream like that come true in real life? Well, it did happen to Peter Johnson. Peter was an auto mechanic. One day, he walked into the Union Trust Bank in Baltimore and took 5,000 dollars that did not belong to him. The guards and other employees stood back and let him stuff the bills in his shirt and pants without trying to prevent him from taking the money. No one tripped an alarm. No one pulled a gun. No one called the police. Why did they allow him to get away with it?
Well, everything was legal. Peter had won a contest promoted by a Baltimore radio station. The first prize entitled him to enter the Union Trust Bank and gather up as much money as he could lay his hands within five minutes. Because he could not bring any large bags or boxes into the bank, all the money had to be placed in his pockets.
As the time went by, Peter ran about wildly, trying to pick up as many large bills as he could find. When his time was up, he was out of breath, but was ＄5,000 richer.
Why did Peter go to the Union Trust bank?
A．To withdraw his deposit.
B．To cash a cheek.
C．To get his prize.
D．To rob the bank.
正确答案：C
解析：根据第三段第三句可知他进入银行的原因是为了获取他的奖励。 -

第4题：
While traveling abroad(在国外), Mr. Jackson Frank ran short of money. So he wrote to his brother, asking for $500. "Send the money by telegram," he wrote, "to the Fisher Bank in P…" After a week he began calling at the Fisher Bank. He showed his passport(护照). "Nothing has come for you," he was told. This went on for two weeks, and Mr. Frank got very worried. He sent a telegram to his brother, asking where the money was. There was no reply, and no money arrived for him.
In the fourth week Mr. Frank was arrested for failing to pay hotel bill. His passport was taken from him. He tried to explain the problem, but no one believed him. He was sent to prison for sixty days. When he came out, he went immediately to the Fisher Bank. The Clerk(职员)he spoke to was a new man. "Have you received $500 for me?" he asked, "My name is Jackson Frank." The clerk checked his books. "Yes, Mr. Jackson, it's here. It came by telegram - let me see - oh, more than two months ago.
"We wondered where you were." He showed Mr. Frank the order. The order(汇单)read: "Pay Mr. Frank Jackson the sum of $500 …"
"But my name is Jackson Frank, not Frank Jackson."
"Oh, that's all right, sir. It was in our books under the letter 'J', but it's your money."
The clerk laughed. "A human mistake, sir! We're all human beings, aren't we? And so we all make mistakes. A family name like Frank sounds strange to me."

Saving Money
Where you save your money often depends on what you are saving for.If you are
saving to buy a dictionary or to go to a concert,then probably keep your money somewhere
in your room.
If you are saving for a big purchase like a mountain bike or a school trip,where would
you save your money?
One place to save money is the bank.Putting your money in a savings account will
help your money earn more money.If you put your money in a piggy bank（猪形储蓄
罐）,one year later you'll still have the same amount of money you put in.If you put
your money in a savings account,one year later,you'll have more money than you put
in.Why?
When you keep your money in a bank,your money earns interest.Interest is the
amount of money a bank pays you to use your money.The bank uses your money(and
the money of other people,too)to loan money to people and businesses.
The bank will send you a statement several times a year.A bank statement tells you
how much money there is in your account.It also tells you how much interest you have
earned.If you leave your money in the bank,you can watch it grow!
Another way you can save money is to buy a certificate of deposit or CD.If you have
some money that you don't need to use for a long time,this is a good way to make your
money grow.
You can buy a CD at a bank.You agree not to use the money for a certain period of
time.That period might be from six months to five years.You can't touch your money
during that time.If you do,you must pay a penalty,or fee.
Since the bank is using your money for that time period,it will pay you interest.You
will earn more interest with a CD than in a savings account.Can you guess why?It's
because you promise to leave your money in the bank for a certain period of time.Banks
pay different rates of interest.So,you may want to compare rates in newspaper ads before
buying a CD.Interest is the amount of money which
A:a bank lends to people.
B:a bank loans to businesses.
C:a bank pays you.
D:a bank uses.答案：C解析： -

听力原文： We will live in a society when cash no longer exists. Instead, "cash" would be electronic, as in bank-card systems. Notes and coins would be abandoned. Its benefits would be profound and fundamental. Theft of cash would become impossible. Bank robberies and cash-register robberies would cease to occur. Urban streets would become safe. Retail shops in once dangerous areas could operate in safety. Neighborhoods would improve.
National electronic-money system would operate as a debit-card system. Each individual's money would be held in his money-system account. A transaction would affect an instant transfer of money from his account to that of another account holder. Only cash would be supplanted by electronic money. Credit card and automatic-teller-machine system would not necessarily change, although you could no longer obtain cash at ATMs.

正确答案： D解析：
细节题。录音结尾提到“Because he could not bring any large sacks or boxes ...”，又提到“When his time was up”，可知有时间和工具的限制，故D项正确。
【录音原文】
Some people dream of being President of the United States, some of becoming stars in a Hollywood movie, and others of making millions of dollars overnight. Could a dream like that come true in real life? Well, it did happen to Peter Johnson. Peter was an auto-mechanic. One day, he walked into the Union-Trust Bank in Baltimore, and took 5,000 dollars that did not belong to him. The guards and other employees stood back and let him stuff the bills into his shirt and pants without trying to prevent him from taking the money. No one pressed the alarm. No one pulled the gun. No one called the police. Why did they allow him to get away with it? Well, everything was legal. Peter had won a contest promoted by a Baltimore radio station. The first prize entitled him to enter the Union-Trust Bank and gather up as much money as he could lay his hands on within 5 minutes. Because he could not bring any large sacks or boxes into the bank, all the money had to be placed in his pockets. As the time went by, Peter ran about wildly and tried to pick up as many large bills as he could find. When his time was up, he was out of breath, but was 5,000 dollars richer.
Questions 1 to 4 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
1. Why did Peter go to the Union-Trust Bank?
2. What was Peter’s job?
3. What did guards do when Peter started gathering the money?
4. Why didn’t Peter take more money from the bank?
