The banks would be required, if necessary, to【C16】______the origin of foreign funds going into numbered and other accounts. The idea was to stop such accounts being used for【C17】______purposes. Also, they agreed not to accept funds resulting from tax【C18】______or from crime.
The pact represented essentially a tightening up of banking rules.【C19】______the banks a-greed to end relations with clients whose identities were unclear or who were performing improper acts, they were still not obliged to inform【C20】______a client to anyone, including the Swiss government. To some extent, therefore, the principle of secrecy had been maintained.

空格所在句子大意为:——,当1977年瑞士的各大银行宣布它们已经和瑞士国家银行(瑞士央行)签下协约的时候,对很多人来说,这个消息犹如晴天霹雳。本题考查语篇连贯。上文陈述瑞士的银行都实行保密政策。而根据下文可知,1977年的协议旨在防止瑞士银行保密法的滥用并严厉控制银行保密制度,故1977年的协议犹如晴天霹雳是顺理成章的,therefore有“因此,所以”之意。所以,正确答案是C。
