答案：

1.[Automatedprograms.]

[定位]依據(jù)efficientmanagement查找到首段第5句。

解析：首段主要敘述早期無(wú)紙化辦公的特點(diǎn)，其中第5句There

werenoautomatedprogramsthathandled...management...

effectively.表明automatedprograms對(duì)高效管理至關(guān)重要，而早

前的無(wú)紙化辦公缺少的恰巧就是這個(gè)。因此automatedprograms為

本題答案。

2.[returnoninvestment]

[定位]依據(jù)Scanners查找到首段第6句。

解析：原文該句中的basedon...用于表達(dá)要從哪個(gè)因素動(dòng)身考

慮掃描儀是否值得購(gòu)買，從該句可知returnoninvestment就是要

考慮的因素，為本題答案。

3.[small]

[定位]依據(jù)theconceptofthepaperlessoffice和aolopted

查找到第2段第6句。

解析：原文該句表明無(wú)紙化辦公的概念未能被“廣泛”采納，換

句話說(shuō)，這個(gè)概念只在“小范圍”內(nèi)被采納，即onasmallscale,

千里之行，始于足下。

因此small為本題答案。

4.[cultural]

[定位]依據(jù)refuse查找到第2段第7句。

解析：原文該句表明文化方面的.問(wèn)題是無(wú)紙化辦公難以實(shí)施的

最大阻礙，可見(jiàn)本題答案應(yīng)為“文化”因素，即cultural。

5.[Moredifficultandtechnologicallychallenging.]

[定位]依據(jù)processes和paperlessofficeenvironment查找

到第2段倒數(shù)第2句。

解析：原文該句比較了paperlessofficeenvironment和the
