Telecommunications stand for devices and systems that transmit electronic or optical signals across long distances. Telecommunications enables people around the world to contact one another, to access information instantly, and to communicate from remote areas. Telecommunications usually involves a sender of information and one or more recipients linked by a technology, such as a telephone system, that transmits information from one place to another. Telecommunications enables people to sand and receive personal messages across town, between countries, and to and from outer space. It also provides the key medium for delivering news, data, information, and entertainment.
Telecommunications devices convert different types of information, such as sound and video, into electronic or optical signals. Electronic signals typically travel along a medium such as copper wire or are carried over the air as radio waves. Optical signals typically travel along a medium such as strands of glass fibers. When a signal reaches its destination, the device on the receiving end converts the signal back into an understandable message, such as sound over a telephone, moving images on a television, or words and pictures on a computer screen.
Telecommunications messages can be sent in a variety of ways and by a wide range of devices. The messages can be seat from one sender to a single receiver (point-to-point) or from one sender to many receivers (point-to-multipoint). Personal communications, such as a telephone conversation between two people or a facsimile (fax) message (see Facsimile Transmission), usually involve point-to-point transmission. Point-to-multipoint telecommunications, often called broadcasts, provide the basis for commercial radio and television programming.
Telecommunications begin with messages that are converted into electronic or optical signals. Some signals, such as those that carry voice or music, are created in an analog or wave format, but may be converted into a digital or mathematical format for faster and more efficient transmission. The signals are then sent over a medium to a receiver, where they are decoded back into a form. that the person receiving the message can understand. There are a variety of ways to create and decode signals, and many different ways to transmit signals.
Individual people, businesses, and governments use many different types of telecommunications systems. Some systems, such as the telephone system, use a network of cables, wires, and switching stations for point-to-point communication. Other systems, such as radio and television, broadcast radio signals over the air that can be received by anyone who has a device to receive them. Some systems make use of several types of media to complete a transmission. For example, a telephone call may travel by means of copper wire, fiber-optic cable, and radio waves as the call is sent from sender to receiver. All telecommunications systems are constantly evolving as telecommunications technology improves. Many recent improvements, for example, offer high-speed broadband connections that are needed to send multimedia information over the Internet.
Personal computers have pushed the limits of the telephone system as more and more complex computer messages are being sent over telephone lines, and at rapidly increasing speeds. This need for speed has encouraged the development of digital transmission technology. The growing use of personal computers for telecommunications has increased the need for innovations in fiber-optic technology.
Telecommunications and information technologies are merging and converging. This means that many of the devices now associated with only one function may evolve into more versatile equipment. This convergence is already happening in various fields. Some telephones and pagers are able to store not only phone numbers but also names and personal information abo
A．Current development.

C．Computer networking.
D．Government regulation.

A．credit cards
B．some sophisticated equipment
C．computers
D．a device of electronic transfer of funds
解析：文章最后一段提到Banks have employed computers...and improve accuracy. 银行购买了计算机和一些高端设备来提高业务效率，降低成本。由此可知，销户和一些其他的后续工作都是由计算机来完成的。
第5题：
A revolving credit commitment gives the borrower assurances of the availability of funds over unexpected period of tight credit in future years.
A．Right
B．Wrong
C．Doesn't say
解析：结合第二段第一、二句知，在获取贷款时间太长时，采取承诺贷款或者循环贷款是常用的方法，并没有如题中所说“未来不可知的信贷紧缩时期”。a commitment agreement承诺贷款，revolving credit循环贷款。
第6题：
The recovery of funds of a commercial bank is ideally managed on a parallel with its expenditure.
A．Right
B．Wrong
C．Doesn't say
解析：从段落中的第一句后半部分...and recovers funds, hopefully in excess of the amount可以推出。in excess of超过，a parallel with与…相同。
第7题：
The borrower may draw the funds from the credit aggregates within the time limit for expanding their operations.
A．Right
B．Wrong
C．Doesn't say
解析：整个第一段和第二段第一句都说明了在确定的时期内，定期贷款可能被用作扩大经营，a major plant expansion(企业扩大)所带来的提示。
第8题：
People are indulging in an illusion whenever they find themselves explaining at a cocktail(鸡尾酒)party，say，that the are“in computers，”or“in telecommunications，”or“in electronic funds transfer”．The implication is that they are part of the high—tech world．Just between US，they usually aren’t.The researchers who made fundamental breakthroughs in those areas are in a high—tech business．The rest of us are (71) of their work．We use computers and other new technology components to develop our products or to organize our affairs．Because we go about this work in teams and projects and other tightly knit working group(紧密联系在一起的工作小组)，we are mostly in the human communication business．Our successes stem from good human interactions by all participants in the effort，and our failures stem from poor human interactions．
The main reason we tend to focus on the (72) rather than the human side of the work is not because it’s more (73)，but because it’s easier to do．Getting the new disk drive installed is positively trivial compared to figuring out why Horace is in a blue funk(恐惧)or why Susan is dissatisfied with the company after only a few months．Human interactions are complicated and never very crisp(干脆的，干净利落的)and clean in their effects，but they matter more than any other aspect of the work．
If you find yourself concentrating on the (74) rather than the (75) ．you’re like the vaudeville character(杂耍人物)who loses his keys on a dark street and looks for them on the adjacent street because，as he explains，“The light is better there!”
(71)
A．creators
B．innovators
C．appliers
D．inventors
解析：不论什么时候，当人们在鸡尾酒会上夸夸其谈“计算机”、“电子通信”、“电子转账”时总会沉迷于幻想之中。这些的言外之意就是想说他们是世界上高端科技的一部分。而在我们这些人中间，却往往不那么做。那些在基础研究上有突破的研究者们在之前说的那些领域里是属于高端科技的一部分，剩下的我们只是在应用他们的工作成果。我们使用计算机和一些新科技组件来开发我们的产品或完成我们的一些事情。因为我们以团队、项目和其它紧密联系在一起工作的一些小组的方式来完成工作，我们几乎离不开人类的沟通交流。我们的成功是来自所有参与者的不懈努力和良好合作，而失败则是因为薄弱的互动合作能力。
我们更加注重在技术而不是与人打交道的工作上的主要原因不是因为技术更加重要，而是因为它更简单。将新的磁盘驱动安装上去远比弄清楚Horace为什么处于恐惧中或Susan为什么才工作几个月就不喜欢这个公司的原因更简单。人类的互动合作是非常复杂的，并且永远都是拖泥带水，这些工作比任何其它方面的工作更重要。
如果你发现自己专注在技术而不是社交，那么你就像是个在黑暗的街道丢失钥匙后却借以另一条街道灯光更亮而在那个街道寻找钥匙的杂耍人物。
