One hundred and thirteen million Americans have at least one bank-issued credit card. They give their owners automatic credit in stores, restaurants, and hotels, at home, across the country, and even abroad, and they make many banking services available as well’ More and more of these credit cards can be read automatically, making it possible to withdraw or deposit money in scattered locations, whether or not the local branch bank is open. For many of us the"cashless society"is not on the horizon- it’s already here.
While computers offer these conveniences to consumers, they have many advantages for sellers too. Electronic cash registers can do much more than simply ring up sales. They can keep a wide range of records, including who sold what, when, and to whom. This information allows businessmen to keep track of their list of goods by showing which items are being sold and how fast they are moving. Decisions to reorder or return goods to suppliers can then be made. At the same time these computers record which hours are busiest and which employees are the most efficient, allowing personnel and staffing assignments to be made accordingly. And they also identify preferred customer for promotional campaigns. Computers are relied on by manufacturers for similar reasons. Computer analyzed marketing reports can help to decide which products to emphasize now, which to develop for the future, and which to drop. Computers keep track of goods in stock, of raw materials on hand, and even of the production process itself.
Numerous other commercial enterprises, from theaters to magazine publishers, from gas and electric utilities to milk processors, bring better and more efficient services to consumers through the use of computers.
From the last sentence of the first paragraph we learn that ______.
选项
A、in the future all the Americans will use credit cards
B、credit cards are mainly used in the United States today
C、nowadays many Americans did not pay in cash
D、it is now more convenient to use credit cards than before
答案
C
解析
第一段最后一句是说:对于我们大多数人来说,无纸化的社会并不是在遥远的将来,它已经存在了。关键是要理解“on the horizon”是“即将出现的(事件);在遥远的将来”的意思。所以C “现在,许多美国人不使用现金”是正确选项,无纸化就意味着陷阱不再在交易中流通。A “将来,所有的美国人都使用信用卡”;B “当今,信用卡主要在美国使用”;D “现在使用信用卡比以前方便多了”都不符合题意。
