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A
解析 前一句说：虽然前程并不平坦，但我们相信，在这个由充满希望的个体组成的世界里，我们能帮助我们的客户取得更大的成功。空白处的后一句说：这个不同点就是Merrill Lynch。在所剩四个选择项中，A项和G项中都有重复前一句词语的情况。B项不合适，因为此句前后都没有涉及独立董事的问题。G项似乎是该公司的一条政策：不搞种族和文化歧视，与空中的下一句没有关联。下一句的difference从何而来呢?A项中说：我们认为这就是不同点——与世人不同之点。故A是正确答案。
