1.【答案】A(However)

【解析】空前作者講到“鑒于電子貨幣的優(yōu)勢,你也許會認為，我們耨快速步入非現(xiàn)金社會，實現(xiàn)完全電子支付J

而空后說“真正的無現(xiàn)金社會很可能不會馬上到來”這兩句話語義是轉(zhuǎn)折的，因此笞案A。B.moreover表遞進C.

therefore表結(jié)果D,Otherwise表對比

2.【答案】D(around)

【解析】由空格所在句的“but”得知，句子前后是轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系。事實上，這樣的預測己經(jīng)二十年了，但迄今還

沒有實現(xiàn)。A.off停止B.back返回C.over第束，與后文物不構(gòu)成轉(zhuǎn)折，故答案選D.around出現(xiàn)。

3.【答案】B(concept)

【解析】空格所在的句子意思為例如,1975年《商業(yè)周刊》預測電子支付手段不久將“徹底改變貨幣本身的

將四個選項帶入，能夠徹底改變的對象只能是金錢的概念(定義),而A“力量”,C“歷史”,D“角色”,語義都不

恰當，并且如果選擇r加的說應(yīng)該是復數(shù)加,因為是金錢的作用不止一個，故笞案選即

4.【答案】D(reverse)

【解析】空格填入的動詞跟前面的動詞revolutionize(變革)意思上應(yīng)該是同義替換他要選擇含有變革，徹

底改變意思的詞匯，四個選項巾A.reward獎勵B.抵抗C心ume重新開始，繼續(xù)，都不合適，只有D選項?erse

"顛覆”最為貼切，本句譯為“電子支付方式不久將諛變貨幣的定義拼將在數(shù)年后顛覆貨幣本身?！?/p>

5,【答案】C(slow)

【解析】根據(jù)前面的句意得知，早在1975年就預測了無現(xiàn)金社會聘到來，而實際上作者講到“真正的無現(xiàn)金社

會很可蓋不會馬上到來:因此也得出這種變革是一個緩慢的過程,故答案選擇C°A.silent沉寂的，B.sudden突

然的，D.steady穩(wěn)定不變帆

6.【答案】B(against)

im上一段末句提出本段的論點，即人們進入無現(xiàn)金時代的速嬲雕原因。因此本段應(yīng)圍繞紙幣系統(tǒng)不

會消失㈱退而且由句首的Although得知，空格所在句與前一句是轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系。盡管電子支付手段可能比紙幣支付

方式更加高效，然而以下幾個方面解釋了紙幣系統(tǒng)“不會”消失的原因，故答案選B,workag疝S【妨礙，對…產(chǎn)生

消極影血A.workfor為…而工作C.workwith與…共事，對…起作用D.workon從事…工作，對小起作用，都

不合通

7.【答案】B(expensive)

犀析】本句陳述的原因都是關(guān)于上句提到的傳統(tǒng)支付方式的優(yōu)點,即推廣電子支付方式不舷處。所以根據(jù)

這個基調(diào)，得出選項productive不對，最后根據(jù)空后的內(nèi)容推理出消極意思的選項expensive,其他選項意思放到空

格處不合理，imaginative,意思是“虛構(gòu)的、常于想象力的"；sensitive,意思是“敏感的、容易受傷的故本題正

確答案為B。

8.【答案】D(do而nant)

【解析】空格所在句譯為,,，使得電子貨幣成為一支付方式，將四個選項帶入，CD是比較恰當?shù)?，再結(jié)合木

文章的主旨,應(yīng)該選擇“占主導地位的，支配地位”這層意思的D選項.A.similar相似的B.original原始的,獨創(chuàng)

的都不合迅

9.【答案】B(provide)

【解析】紙質(zhì)支票支付能夠一收抵這是觸子支村相比的一大優(yōu)勢,A.collect收集收據(jù)，C.copy復印收

據(jù)，D,print打印收據(jù)都和實際生活不符合，應(yīng)該是B,provide提供收據(jù)，

10.【答案】A(giveup)

【解析】該動詞短語的賓語是前文的some血咯指代上文的advan夠,紙質(zhì)支票支付能能提供收據(jù)這一優(yōu)勢,

肯定是當贊者不愿放棄的,和優(yōu)勢相搭配的動詞短語不能是B.takeover接管,也不能是C,bringback拿回來,D,pass

down傳遞、遺傳也不符合。A.give叩放棄一種優(yōu)期符合語埔為正確答案。

11.【答案】A(before)

【解析】這里考查的是時間連詞的應(yīng)用。句子意思是“在支票兌換成現(xiàn)金之前要花上好幾天”，符合句意的只有

before?其它三項都不符合。

12.【答案】D(withdrawn)

im這里考查動詞辨義原文句子意思是“資金是從發(fā)卡機構(gòu)的賬戶里提取的"，wilhdraw有“提款、取

款”的就%這里是指紙幣從策行賬戶中“被取出”故為正確答案。

13.【答案】C(Because)

【解析】這里考查的是連詞的應(yīng)曲從原炯以看出空后的兩個句子在意思上存在著因果關(guān)系，“因為電子支付

是即付的，所以消除了客戶的付款二四個選項中只有Cbecause可以表因果，其他二項均不能表因果。故答案為C。

14,【答案】C(raise)

【釋析】這里考查的是動詞辨析以及上下文語義銜接。[A]hide“隱雕隱瞞”，聞cxpnjss”表達,表示，

?raise"舉起,提高,引發(fā)"，[D]ease"減輕,緩和”，四個選項中能和concerns構(gòu)成搭配的只有面se,故正確

答案為◎

15.【答案】C.(stored)

【解析】這句講了anunauthorizedhackerhasbeenabletoaccessacomputerdatabaseandtoalter

informationthere,"一些黑客入侵電腦數(shù)據(jù)庫并且更改一信息”根據(jù)空前信息可知是入侵電腦數(shù)據(jù)房

information是被儲存在電腦數(shù)據(jù)庫中的信息。

16.【答案】C.(uncommon)

【蟀析】此題考查一致性°空格所在句"Thefactthatthisisnotan_16_occurrencemeansthat…”中this指代上

文中that從句的內(nèi)容，即黑客能夠獲取電腦數(shù)據(jù)庫和更改儲存的信息。因此notanJ6.occurrence應(yīng)該能體現(xiàn)這一行

為的特征，而上文提到"Weoftenhearmediareportsthat…，其中的often正是對這一行為的特征解釋，即not

an_occu優(yōu)nee等于often的含義，對比選嘰只有C選項uncommon符合，帶入后意為“經(jīng)常發(fā)生的聿情，

17.【答案】A(steal)

【解析】本題缺少謂語動詞,通過語法結(jié)構(gòu)可以看出，主語是dishonestpersons,并通過后面的其他人的帳戶，

可以推定為答案是負向做只有As嗣符合題意，語義上也說得通，故為正確答氯

18,【答案】B.(prevention)

im文章最后一段首句談?wù)撾娮痈顿M方式的又一個缺題會引起安全和隱稠題。接下來就開始解釋這個

現(xiàn)象?？崭袼诰涮岬健皩@種欺詐的」8一絕非易事，而且一個新的電腦科學領(lǐng)域正在形成來,9一安全問題J因

此，柄在談?wù)搶栴}的解決應(yīng)機18空格與19空格所填內(nèi)容語意上應(yīng)該是一致的。瀏覽選項，18空只能選

prevention,即防止這種欺詐行為發(fā)生并翡易事,而C選項manipukuion是“操縱”的意思，D選項juslifiemion就為

“解稿證明一合理”，均不合理。

19.【答案】A.(copewith)

【解析】此空格解釋同18空格，應(yīng)選有“處理，解決"意思的選項，只有A選項copewilh合適。B選項figh【

against意為"對抗，抵制"，而賓語是securityissues,因此不符合。

20.【答案】D.（trail）

【解析】此空所在句提出了使用電子付費方式的又一個擔心，即會留下_20_,空格后的踴從句解釋了空格內(nèi)
