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.

选项
A、nevertheless
B、as a matter of fact
C、therefore
D、of course
答案
C
解析
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。由于上文陈述瑞士的银行都实行保密政策。而根据下文可知,1977年的协约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年的协约犹如晴天霹雳是顺理成章的,therefore有“因此、所以”之义。所以,正确答案是C。
