There was a widely-held belief that Switzerland was【C5】______to wealthy foreigners, mainly because of its numbered accounts and bankers’ reluctance to ask awkward questions【C6】______depositors.【C7】______to the mystique was the view that if this secrecy was ever given up, foreigners would fall over themselves in the rush to【C8】______money, and the Swiss banking system would virtually collapse overnight.
To many,【C9】______, it came like a bolt out of the【C10】______, when, in 1977, the Swiss banks announced they had signed a【C11】______with the Swiss National Bank(the Central Bank). The aim of the agreement was【C12】______the improper use of the country’s bank secrecy laws, and its【C13】______was to curb severely the system of secrecy.

选项
A、In spite
B、Although
C、Until
D、Even
答案
B
解析
空格所在句子大意为:——瑞士各银行同意终止和身份不明或行为不端的客户的业务往来,他们还不会将客户信息透露给任何人,包括瑞士政府。本题考查although引导让步状语从句的用法。短语in spiteof也可以引导让步状语从句,但介词of不可省略。所以,正确答案是B。
