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. A true cashless society, 【C1】______, is probably not around the corner. For example, Business Week predicted in 1975 that electronic means of payment "would soon revolutionize the very concept of money itself," only to【C2】______itself several years later. Why has the movement to a(n)【C3】______society been so slow in coming?

Third, the use of paper checks gives consumers several days of "float" — it takes several days before a check is cashed and funds are【C7】______from the issuer’s account, which means that the writer of the check can earn interest on the funds in the meantime. They eliminate the float for the consumer【C8】______electronic payments are immediate. Fourth, electronic means of payment raise security and privacy concerns. We often hear media reports that an unauthorized hacker has been able to access a computer database.

There are worries that government, employers, and marketers might be able to access these data, thereby eating into our privacy.

答案
N
解析
against,词组固定搭配题。根据词性,此处应当填入介词。由句首的although可判断主句与前半句是转折的关系,即“一系列因素会阻碍纸币系统的消失”,且根据习惯用法work against“妨碍,对……产生消极影响”,故选against。
