The European Union reached a preliminary deal to curb banker’s compensation that would drastically limit the account that can be paid in bonuses. Britain resisted the move to cap the ratio between bankers’ fixed and variable pay. In a nod to opposition from the City of London the new rules treat long-term incentives linked to equities and bonds more favourably. The deal has to be agreed on by finance ministries next week.
The Royal Bank of Scotland, which is still majority owned by the British taxpayer five years after a government bail-out, reported an annual pre-tax loss of £5.2 billion, mostly because of an accounting quirk connected to the value of its own debts.
RBS’s loss was
put in the shade,
however, when Bankia later posted a net loss for 2012 of £19 billion. The Spanish government owns just under half the bank, but that is expected soon to rise to 70%.
A report by McKinsey underlined the impact of the financial crisis on annual cross-border capital flows, which fell by 60% from 2007 to $4.6 trillion last year. The study says that financial globalisation has "stalled" and that markets have reached an "inflection point" that could lead to a "Balkanised" structure based on local, rather than global, banking systems.
Japan’s prime minister, Shinzo Abe, nominated Haruhiko Kuroda to become the next governor of the Bank of Japan. Mr. Kuroda is the current head of the Asian Development Bank and had been a vocal critic of the BOJ. Mr. Abe has turned the central bank’s record into a political issue, urging it to do more to help "the real economy".
India’s government unveiled the country’s most important budget in years, as it seeks to boost output while controlling inflation. Growth has cooled rapidly to around 5%. The official forecast says that the economy will expand by up to 6.6% in 2013-2014, but the opposition is quick to point out that the estimate for this year was overly optimistic.
What can be learned from the first paragraph?
选项
A、The EU has reached an agreement to control banker’s compensation.
B、The deal would considerably increase the account paid in bonuses.
C、Britain agreed on the act to limit the ratio between banker’s fixed and variable pay.
D、The deal to curb banker’s compensation has been agreed on by finance ministries.
答案
A
解析
根据选项A中的关键词“the EU”定位到第一段的首句,其中“the EU”=“the European Union”;“reached an agreement”=“reached a deal”;“curb banker’s compensation”=“control banker’s compensation”,故选项A是原文首句的同义转换,故为答案。根据选项B中的“bonuses”定位到该段首句,其中选项中的“considerably”对应原文的“drastically”;其余部分保持不变。但是原文关键词“limit”,被替换成选项中的“increase”,故该项错误。根据选项C中的“Britain”定位到该段第二句,原文说的是Britain拒绝,而选项说的是同意,而选项后面内容和原文是一致的,故该选项是错的。根据选项D定位到该段最后一句:The deal has to be agreed on by finance ministries next week.说明这个协议还未被通过,而选项说的是“The deal has been agreed on by finance ministries”.故错误。
