Someday in the future we may not have money in our pockets. Is life easier when people don’t need to carry any coins for currency at all? Is money heavy to carry? Is it safe to carry money? Maybe in the future each of us will have only one small plastic credit card. We will use it to buy all the things we now buy with money. We will not need money to pay for things.
Of course we may still have some of the same problems with cards that we now have with money. Sometimes we lose money. Maybe we will lose cards. People steal money. Maybe someone will take the card. Someone may even make a card that looks like our card. Since we cannot buy anything without our cards, the credit card may be no better than currency.
Is there something even easier to use than credit cards? All of us have a thumbprint. No two thumbprints are the same. Maybe someday the government will keep people’ s thumbprints with a number. No person will have the same thumbprint or number. When you want to buy something you will put your thumb on a machine or a computer. Each store or business will have one. Everyone’ s thumbprint will be in the computers. It will be very difficult to lose our thumbprints. It will be difficult for someone to steal it or make one like it.
What does the word "currency" in the Para. 2 most probably mean?
选项
A、Plastic cards.
B、Paper money.
C、Coins.
D、Money.
答案
D
解析
词语理解题。根据文章前两段描述可知,人们因为总是丢钱,所以选择用信用卡来代替钱,但是问题出现了,信用卡依然会丢失或者被仿造。根据文章第二段最后一句“…the credit card may be no better than currency.”可知,信用卡也不见得比 钱好。故选D。
