问题 Read the policies of an American assurance firm.
Choose the sentence from the list A- I to fill each of the blanks.
For each blank, mark one letter (A— I) on your Answer Sheet.
Do not use any letter more than once.
There is an example at the beginning (0).
One answer has been given as an example.
    Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc. is a Delaware corporation that, through its subsidiaries and affiliates, provides capital markets services, investment banking and advisory services, wealth management, asset management, insurance, banking and related products and services on a global basis.
    Slowly and deliberately, like the process of natural evolution, the economies of our world are coming together example. (0) D
    But as the world grows closer, it also grows more complex. So, too, has Merrill Lynch evolved. 9 . But we have learned that to compete in the global market place requires more than just global resources 10 . Everywhere we serve the world, Merrill Lynch acts as catalyst to bring people together with opportunities 11 . So an investor in Asia can profit from the efforts of business people in Argentina and vice versa. Wherever we are in the world, it is our business to focus on our clients and build long-term relations with them; to act as responsible citizens in the communities in which we live and work; and, above all, to maintain our reputation for integrity.
    Our world is being brought together, not simply by the authority of nations but by the power of individuals; individuals who allow themselves to hope for a better life 12 . Although the road may not be easy or quick, we believe we can help our clients achieve even greater successes, in a world brought together by individuals with hope 13 . The difference is Merrill Lynch.
    In brief, Merrill Lynch demonstrates its commitments to clients and shareholders through the firm’s emphasis on excellence, integrity and ethical behaviour. We maintain a strong and engaged board of independent directors to oversee our business practices and make recommendations for improvement, if needed. 14 .
A. We think that make the difference—all the difference in the world.
B. With the exception of our CEO, all members of our board are independent.
C. It also requires global resourcefulness: intelligence, creativity, agility and understanding.
D. Today, trading alliances are being formed that promise to become stronger than the nations that comprise them.
E. We believe that nothing holds greater possibility than a world of individuals with hope for their own future.
F. We have people and capabilities in place throughout the world, and our reach is unmatched.
G. We treat equally people of different colours and different cultures.
H. Through us people in different places depend mutually upon each other.
I. Command economies have gradually fallen and free markets are flourishing in nearly every corner of our world.
选项
答案E
解析 空白处前一句说：我们这个世界正在融为一体，这不仅仅是依赖各国的领导人，而且也是依赖许多个体的力量，许多个对未来美满生活充满希望的个体。选择项中所剩的五个句子中都有若干个词语指代或重复这一句中的某些词。从逻辑意义上来判断，这一句主要是讲现在、讲individuals。A句中虽然讲到difference，但是这个difference不可能是这一句中authority与indi—viduals之间的，故可排除。D句中虽也有nation一词，但主要是讲一国经济力量薄弱，与前一句构不成必然的联系。E句紧接前一句，叙述在一个由对自己的未来充满希望的个体组成的世界里是没有什么办不到的。与前句一样，仍是着重individu—als。
