问题     Cash is unlikely to go away soon. Coins and paper【C1】________remain the most popular ways to pay for things in most countries. But in the long term, cash appears to be in a【C2】________battle with electronic payment methods.
    There are few corners of the world where electronic【C3】________are not growing faster than cash. But the movement away from cash is happening in very different ways and at【C4】________paces around the world.
    Scandinavian (斯堪的纳维亚的) countries are already well along the road toward【C5】________societies. Many banks in Sweden no longer have cash on hand, and consumers can make instant transfers directly from their bank accounts.
    In Kenya, the local mobile phone company Safaricom, not the banks or the government, has pushed the envelope.  Safaricom created a system, known as M-Pesa, that allows customers to make payments【C6】________from their phones.
    The【C7】________of moving away from cash have been trumpeted (鼓吹) by economists like Kenneth Rogoff, who wrote The Curse of Cash, about how paper money enables【C8】________and tax evasion.
    But the critics of cash have been met by their own critics, who argue that electronic payments can disenfranchise (剥夺某人的权利) poor people who【C9】________easy access to bank accounts and the internet and can make it much easier for governments and corporations to monitor a person’s every step.
    In the end, though, the future of money is less likely to be determined by these arguments than to be【C10】________by the success of technologists making it easier for you to pay for your lunch or morning coffee without pulling out your wallet.
A) adequately                 I) enlightening
B) benefits                   J) lack
C) cashless                   K) losing
D) crime                      L) shaped
E) currency                   M) transactions
F) democratic                 N) varying
G) directly                   O) witnessed
H) disadvantages
【C1】
选项
答案E
解析 空格前面是and paper，后面是动词remain，通过分析句子结构可知，paper和空格处所填词构成名词短语，与前面的名词Coins一起作句子的主语，因此空格处应填入名词。上一句提到，现金不太可能很快就被淘汰。本句则指出，硬币和纸——仍是大多数国家最受欢迎的支付方式。由此可知，此处应选择与“货币”意义相近的名词，所以E)currency“货币”为答案。
