Benjamin Franklin just got a face-lift;. And it’s about time. Over the past seven years, the Treasury Department has redesigned the $5, $10, $20 and $50 bills, citing counterfeiting【B1】______. On April 21, the $100 bill【B2】______its fellows when the U.S. Bureau of Engraving and Printing(BEP)unveiled its latest bill. The $100 bill is the highest-denomination note in【B3】______and can weather more than seven years of【B4】______. A humble $1 bill lasts only 21 months.
The American Revolution’s continental currency—the first attempt【B5】______national tender—did not have the same kind of【B6】______. So much of the money was produced to【B7】______the war that it quickly【B8】______. In 1863, Congress【B9】______the issuance of paper tender, much of which was easy to counterfeit. It is estimated that one-third of money circulating at the time was【B10】______. But that didn’t stop the government from producing【B11】______of it. By the time the BEP was officially established in 1874, the Treasury Department had been creating【B12】______for more than a decade—with dozens of clerks manually cutting and signing bills before the process was【B13】______.
The U.S. started producing coins in 1792. The first piece of money to feature a President’s【B14】______was a coin: the Abraham Lincoln penny, created in 1909.

"In God We【B20】______," sure. In humans, not so much.
【B16】
选项
A、Popular
B、Well-recieved
C、Short-lived
D、Notorious
答案
C
解析
语义逻辑题。这句话的关键是had no such luck“没有如此的好运”,“好运”指的就是前一句话中提到的:即使造一美分硬币需要1.6美分,这种硬币还是比其他面额的硬币生产得多。而下文由表并列关系的连词and引导分句.指出“10万美元的纸币虽然印刷过却从未发行过”,综合分析前后的逻辑关系,可以判断出这里说的500元面值等纸币应该是“短命的”,因此,C项符合题意。
