1The author uses the metaphor "hot iron" to imply that_____.

A.those measures will do more harm to UBS

B. those measures will cauterize UBS

C. those measures will forcefully stop UBS from furthur loss

D.those measures will control bleeding of UBS

参考答案: C

细节题。作者将一系列的措施比喻为"烙铁",而这些措施又是为UBS提供资金,是一些好的措施,这个比喻让人费解。但结合第一段的上下文就可以理解,文章第一段开头就摆出UBS面临的抉择,是有控制的流血还是灼伤,UBS选择了后者,先是将伤口裸露出来,接着就来了"烙铁"。前后联系可以想到,烙铁可以灼伤伤口,但可以让伤口马上止血,也就是让UBS可以避免进一步的损失。因此,答案C最为符合。

2Compared with the mark-to-market valuations, the mark-to-model approach could _____.

A.slow down the worsening in credit qualtiy

B.instantly crystallise all expected future loss

C.worsen the credit quality

D.accelerate the deterioration in credit quality

参考答案: A

细节题。题干是关于mark-to-model估量方法的,这在文章第三段中有提及。关键的一句话就是,和mark-to-market方法相比,这种恶化要慢一些,因为市场方法可迅速估算出未来所有有可能的损失。要注意的是,which have the effect of instantly crystallising all expected future losses是修饰mark-to-market 方法的定语从句,这一点容易让读者混淆。

----------------------------------------

3The reason that Marcel Rohner thought the chang of approach was "distracting" is _____.

A.this change was unexpected to take place in such a situation

B.this change was result of the advice of auditors and regulators

C.this change was unfavorite to UBS

D.this change was taken to make people dispel their guess.

参考答案: D

推理题。题干中提到的转变是指UBS评估方法由模式方法转变为将市场结合进来的方法,马塞尔认为这种转变是"转移注意力的",由上文可知这种转变是UBS高层为了避免数月来对银行曝光的猜测。因此,所说的"转移注意力"是避免猜测,那么答案D最为符合。

----------------------------------------

4The phrase "the white knights"(Line 5, Paragraph 5) most probably means____.

A.rich people

B.savior
