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.
【C8】
选项
A、similar
B、original
C、temporary
D、dominant
答案
D
解析
本填空所在的段落和句子都围绕着“纸质货币不会消亡”的主题展开,填空所在的句子就是原因之一,而本填空所在的原文信息necessary to make electronic money the________form of payment的意思是说,配备电脑、读卡器和通讯网络等的目的是让电子支付成为什么样的支付方式。从这个逻辑出发推断选择D项dominant(主导的)最为合理。其实本文探讨的核心就是纸质货币与电子货币谁占据主导地位的问题。C项 temporary(临时的)肯定不符合题意,因为配备电脑、读卡器和通讯网络等不是仅仅为了让电子支付成为临时的支付方式。A项similar(类似的)和B项original (最初的)均与题意完全无关。
