问题     China is well on the way to becoming a cashless society. It is not the only country heading in that direction, of course. Sweden is almost there and the UK is heading that way too. 【F1】In fact, a cursory examination of the global statistics around the declining use of banknotes and coins makes it easy to predict that many countries will soon be effectively cashless. But what does this actually mean?
    【F2】 Cash will still be around and it will still be legal tender, but it will disappear from polite society and from the daily lives of most people. We will move from being a debit card society to a mobile society to a biometric society. Cash will still exist. It it just won’t matter.
    Cash will cease to be relevant to monetary policy, become irrelevant to most individuals and vanished from most businesses. 【F3】 As we look to the future, we can begin to ask, quite reasonably, whether developments in digital payment technology and changes in payments and banking regulation will bring us to the point of this kind of cashlessness within, say, a generation. Well, never mind a generation, we’re pretty close to it now as far as I can see. Let’s just say that if you live in Amsterdam, you don’t need cash for the trains and if you live in London you don’t need cash for the coffee shops. No-one is planning or managing this, it’s just happening.
    【F4】 Active management means that we need to have a strategy toward cashlessness and not simply a laissez-faire acceptance that cashlessness will happen to the great benefit of the majority but in a way that excludes and marginalises some. A recent survey in the UK found that over 75% of low-income households rely on cash, as well as over 80% of elderly households. The shift to cashless society must be planned to help these groups so that they share in the benefits of cashlessness.
    Now, clearly, technological advances deliver new possibilities to policymakers. But, as they say, just because something can be done does not mean it should be done. 【F5】We need a proper debate and a regulatory boundary set up to move forward so that anyone who needs to pay for anything electronically will be able to do so and that anyone who does not want to pay electronically will be presented with a method for paying in cash.
【F5】
选项
答案我们需要进行适当的辩论并设置监管边界来推进这件事情，这样的话，那些需要电子支付的人可以电子支付，那些不想电子支付的人可以选择付现金的方式。
解析 本句中so that引导的句子so that anyone who needs to pay for anything electronically will be able to do so and that anyone who does not want to pay electronically will be presented with a method for paying in cash是结果状语从句，在结果状语从句中有两个who引导的定语从句修饰anyone。
