1．完形填空题（10空，每空1.5分）
Offer
Validity time of offer
An offer becomes __1___ when it reaches the offeree (CISG Art.15 ). On
this point, the laws in all states share the same view, for an offer is an
indication of seller’s __2___, and the offeree can only decide whether to
accept it or not when he receives it. Therefore, if one party expects or
somehow learns that someone is sending him an offer before he really receives
it, he sends an “acceptance” to the offeror, in this case. No contract is formed
even if the content of the “acceptance” __3___with the offer he receives later.
The “acceptance” is in fact an offer, and therefore, no contract can be formed
on this unless the other party __4___ the “acceptance”.
Withdrawal of offer
The ___5___ of offer means that the offeror, for some reason, withdraws
his offer before it reaches the offeree or before it becomes effective. This may
happen when the offeror finds that the offer he makes contains some mistake,
3 9

or that the situation has changed which makes his offer ___6___ to him. The
common practice is to make use of a faster means of communication to send
the message of withdrawal so that it can reach the offeree earlier than the offer
does.
Revocation of offer
To revoke an offer means that when the offer has reached the offeree, and
it has become effective, the offeror acts to revoke the offer thus to kill its
effectiveness. The issue of whether an effective offer may be revoked _7___
hot debates among scholars from different law systems. The civil law system
__8__ that an offer is __9___ within the validity time, or during the time in
expectation of a reply, while the common law system provides that an offer
may be revoked at any time unless it is accepted. The Convention makes some
mediation between the two legal systems of the world which agrees in
principle that an offer is revocable before the note of acceptance is dispatched
but provides that on the following two occasions, an offer is irrevocable.
1) It indicates, whether by starting a fixed or otherwise, that it is irrevocable.
2) If it was reasonable for the offeree to rely on the offer as being irrevocable
and the offeree has acted in __10___ on the offer.

1. A. objective B. meaningful C. effective D. helpful
2. A. proposal B. tone C. case D. term
3. A. differs B. coincides C. deals D. copes
4. A. refuses B. dispatches C. confirms D. receives
5. A. withdrawal B. lose C. validity D. mediation
6. A. good B. unfavorable C. well D. worst
7. A. raises B. arouses C. rises D. puts
8. A. provides B. writes C. names D. relies
9. A. revocable B. irrevocable C. relevant D. irrelevant
10. A. rely B. depend C. dependence D. reliance

Many of today's banking services were first practiced in ancient Lydia,
4 9

Phoenicia, China, and Greece, where trade and commerce flourished. The
temples in Babylonia made loans from their treasuries as early as 2000 B.C..
The temples of ancient Greece served as safe-deposit vaults for the valuables
of worshipers. The Greeks also coined money and developed a system of
credit. The Roman Empire had a highly developed banking system, and its
bankers accepted deposits of money, made loans, and pur- chased mortgages.
Shortly after the fall of Rome in AD 476, banking declined in Europe.
(1) _______________ The moneychangers of the Italian states developed
facilities for exchanging local and foreign currency. Soon merchants
demanded other services, such as lending money, and gradually bank ser-
vices were expanded.
The first bank to offer most of the basic banking functions known
today was the Bank of Barcelona in Spain. Founded by merchants in 1401, this
bank held deposits, exchanged currency, and carried out lending operations. It
also is believed to have introduced the bank check. (2) _______________
These institutions laid the foundation for modern banks of deposit and
transaction.
For more than 300 years, banking on the European continent was in the
hands of powerful statesmen and wealthy private bankers, such as the Medici
family in Florence and the Fuggers in Germany. (3) _______________
The Bank of France was organized in 1800 by Napoleon. The hank had
become the dominant financial institution in France by the mid-1800s. In
Germany, banking experienced a rapid development about the middle of the
19th century with the establishment of several strong stock-issuing, or publicly
owned banks.
Banking in the British Isles originated with the London goldsmiths of the
16th century. These men made loans and held valuables for safekeeping. By
the 17th century English goldsmiths created the model for today's modern
fractional reserve banking -- that is, the practice of keeping a fraction of
depositors' money in reserve while ex- tending the remainder to borrowers in
the form of loans. Customers deposited gold and silver with the goldsmiths for
safekeeping and were given deposit receipts verifying their Ownership of the
gold deposited with the goldsmith. These receipts could be used as money
because they were backed by gold. But the goldsmiths soon discovered that
5 9

they could take a chance and issue additional receipts against the gold to other
people who needed to borrow money. (4) _______________ Hence , the
amount of receipts or claims on the gold frequently exceeded the actual
amount of the gold, and the idea that bankers could create money was born.
(5) _______________ Other banks existed in the colonies prior to this,
most notably the Bank of Pennsylvania, but these banks were chartered by
individual states. In 1787 the Bank of North America changed to a
Pennsylvania charter following controversy about the legality of a
congressional charter. Other large banks were chartered in the early 1780s by
the various states, primarily to is- sue paper money called bank notes. These
notes supplemented the coins then in circulation and assisted greatly in
business expansion. The banks were also permitted to accept deposits and to
make loans.

A. Three other early banks, each managed by a committee of city officials,
were the Bank of Amsterdam (1609), the Bank of Venice (1587), and the
Bank of Hamburg (1619).
B. This worked as long as the original depositors did not withdraw all their
gold at one time.
C. The increase of trade in 13th- century Italy prompted the revival of banking.
D. During the 19th century, members of the Rothschild family became the
most influential bankers in all Europe and probably in the world. This
international banking family was founded by German financier Mayer
Amschel Rothschild (1743 ~1812), but it soon spread to all the major
European financial capitals.
E. Because there were no minimum reserve requirements on deposits, bank
notes were secured by the assets of the issuing banks. Most assets took the
form of business loans.
F. The first important bank in the United States was the Bank of North
America, established in 1781 by the Second Continental Congress. It was
the first bank chartered by the U.S. government.
