Money laundering is first seen with individuals hiding wealth from thegovernment to avoid taxation or confiscation or a combination of both. Nowadays it has evolved into acomplex and highly technical process of transforming profits from illegal activities into

“legitimate”assets without raising the suspicion of law enforcement agencies. After money has been suitably laundered or“cleaned,” it can be used in the mainstream economy for accumulation of wealth, such as acquisitions ofproperties, or otherwise spent.Many governments around the world have become increasingly

in their efforts to combatmoney laundering by passing anti-money-laundering regulations. These regulations require financialinstitutions to have systems in place to detect and report suspected money-laundering activities. Accordingly,law enforcement agencies of many jurisdictions have set up sophisticated systems in an effort to detectsuspicious transactions or activities, and many have set up international cooperative arrangements to assisteach other in these

.However, the use of the Internet allows money launderers to easily

detection. The rise of onlinebanking institutions, anonymous online payment services, peer-to-peer transfers using mobile phones, andthe use of virtual currencies such as Bitcoin have made detecting the illegal transfer of money even moredifficult. Money can also be laundered through online auctions and sales, gambling websites, and even virtualgaming sites, where ill-gotten money is converted into gaming currency, then transferred back into real,usable, and

“clean” money.As money launderers attempt to keep one step ahead of law enforcement, international organizationsand governments are continuing their team effort to find new ways to detect them.16considerably (A)seemingly (B)physically (C)wickedly (D)17compulsive (A)formidable (B)skeptical (C)vigilant (D)18alternatives (A)endeavors (B)incentives (C)options (D)19concede (A)prompt (B)skirt (C)terminate (D)20abnormal (A)inadequate (B)irreversible (C)untraceable (D)依下文回答第21 題至第25 題Culture is a word that everyone is familiar with, but its precise meaning can be elusive. A usefuldefinition by noted social scientist Geert Hofstede is that culture consists of shared mental programs thatcondition individuals’ responses to their environment. There are three levels involved in the mentalprograming: The deepest level--human nature--is based on common biological reactions, such as sex, drive,hunger and territoriality that all members of the human race have in common, even though they come fromdifferent cultures. The middle level--culture--is based on common experiences that we share with a particulargroup of our fellows. Cultural values, attitudes and assumptions about proper behavior give us something incommon with a definable group of others, but not with all of them. The group may be a very large one, such30120-30420as a national population, i.e. Japanese culture; or a very small one, i.e. the culture of the committee of a localparent-teacher association. The shallowest level--personality--is based on the specific genetic makeup andpersonal experiences that make each of us a unique individual. For example, we may be sociable orintroverted, aggressive or submissive, and emotional or stable. We all have many behaviors andunderstandings that are quite different from those of others, even though we come from the same culture.Culture also has the following basic characteristics. First, culture is mental programming that a grouphas in common that is not normally available to people outside the group. Second, the mental programing ofa group is learned by its members over long periods as they interact with the environment and with eachother. Third, the mental programming involved is strong. People have a hard time escaping their culture evenwhen they want to. Fourth, culture is not random as it is a system of values, attitudes, beliefs, and meaningsthat are related to each other and to the context. Last, much of culture is concealed. Besides immediatesurface behaviors, such as body language, and physical artifacts like art, culture also involves the underlyingvalues, social structures, and ways of thinking.
