Given the advantages of electronic money, you might think that we would move quickly to the cashless society in which all payments are made electronically.【C1】________, a true cashless society is probably not around the corner. Indeed, predictions of such a society have been【C2】________for two decades but have not yet come to fruition. For example, Business Week predicted in 1975 that electronic means of payment "would soon revolutionize the very【C3】________of money itself," only to【C4】________itself several years later. Why has the movement to a cashless society been so【C5】________in coming?
Although electronic might be more convenient and may be more efficient than a payments system based on paper, several factors work【C6】________the disappearance of the paper system. First, it is very【C7】________to set up the computer, card reader, and telecommunications networks necessary to make electronic money the【C8】________form of payment. Second, paper checks have the advantage that they【C9】________receipts, something that many consumers are unwilling to【C10】________. Third, the use of paper checks gives consumers several days of "float"—it takes several days【C11】________a check is cashed and funds are【C12】________from the issuer’s account, which means that the writer of the check can earn interest on the funds in the meantime.
【C13】________electronic payments are immediate, they eliminate the float for the consumer.
Fourth, electronic means of payment【C14】________security and privacy concerns. We often hear media reports that an unauthorized hacker has been able to access a computer database and to alter information【C15】________there. The fact this is not an【C16】________occurrence means that dishonest persons might be able to access bank accounts in electronic payments systems and【C17】________from someone else’s accounts. The【C18】________of this type of fraud is no easy task, and a new field of computer science is developing to【C19】________ security issues. A further concern is that the use of electronic means of payment leaves an electronic【C20】________that contains a large amount of personal data on buying habits. There are concerns that government, employers, and marketers might be able to access these data, thereby violating on our privacy.
【C2】
选项
A、off
B、back
C、over
D、around
答案
D
解析
本填空首先要结合上下文的语义。本填空所在的句子由表达递进关系的标志词Indeed引导,因此本句子是对上句作者的观点进行加强。同时,句子中出现的but说明句子前后信息是转折关系,而but之后的信息表达的是这种(无现金)社会并没有开花结果,可以判断出前一句是说这样的预测(预测我们将进入无现金社会)已经进行了20年,只有D项around最符合,around在这里表示“到处都是;四处传播”的概念。其他选项例如A项off和C项over表示“结束,终结”,意思完全错误。B项back表示“向后”,意思也不符合题意。
