问题     There were red faces at one of Britain’ s biggest banks recently. They had accepted a telephone order to buy $ 100,000 worth of shares from a fifteen-year-old schoolboy(they thought he was twenty-one). The shares fell in value and the schoolboy was unable to【C1】______The band lost $ 20,000 on the【C2】______that it cannot get back because, for one thing, this young speculator does not have the money and, for another,【C3】______under eighteen, he is not legally liable for his debts. If the shares had risen in value by the same amount that they fell, he would have pocketed $ 20,000

Because he is also under eighteen the banks have【C10】______a lot of money, and several cashiers have lost their jobs.
【C6】
选项 A、convincing
B、valuable
C、unusual
D、priceless
答案A
解析 通过上下文可知这里要表达的意思应当与后面的“实际在其发行国和其他地区都不再使用了”相反，这句话实际就是说“这些钱在现在是假的”。因而可以判断这里应当用convincing表达“这些钱看起来很像真的”的意思。
