听力原文: Back-to-Back credits consist of two entirely separate documentary credits, but one credit may act as security for the other. They apply in transactions when actual suppliers and ultimate buyers deal through a middleman. If the supplier insists on a documentary credit, the middleman may apply to his bank for a credit on his behalf. If the middleman's bank is satisfied with his creditworthiness, the bank will issue the credit in the normal way and no other formalities will apply. However, the "back-to-back" credit comes into use if the bank insists that the middleman obtain a documentary credit in his favor from the ultimate buyer as security for the "back-to-back" credit in favor of the actual supplier. Only the middleman and his banker know the "back-to-back" credit, and only they are concerned with credit.

Section B
Directions: In this section, you will hear 3 short passages. At the end of each passage, you will hear some questions. Both the passage and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A, B, C and D.
听力原文: Do you know how to advertise for a bank? If you ask people about the functions of a bank, they would probably say that the bank is where you can deposit money and cash a check. But it's much more than these. And we have to tell people this in our advertisement.
There are several things to think about for a bank advertisement. (26)The first problem is to decide who should be our audience. Should our advertisement be aimed at adults with full employment only? Or should it also appeal to students, housewives, retired workers, or even children? It is a good idea to address the largest possible audience. If we introduce the name of our bank to children they will never forget it.
The next question is how to attract people of different social groups to our bank. The usual tip is to offer free gifts, for example, portable radios or T-shirts for the young and gold pens for business executives. That always works. But what do we give to our best customers? That's another question. What about leather diaries, for example?
Banks are very competitive. We have to think of something new to offer our customers. That's the third problem. Ours is one of the first banks to have drive-in service and to open on Saturdays, but now many banks do. Most banks also offer a variety of checking and saving accounts and a full range of investment plans to suit the needs of their customers, as well as the 24-hour ATM banking which makes it much faster and easier for customers to withdraw cash or do other things. (27)To attract more customers to our bank, it is essential that we have something that no other bank offers.
