选项 A、as well as
B、instead of
C、more than
D、but for

答案B

解析 本题考查句内逻辑关系。空格处填入的介词短语连接smart cards as train tickets and commuter passes (作为车票和定期券的智能卡)和the magnetic ones used today(现在使用的磁卡)。由于两者是同一性质的物质,因此排除表假设逻辑关系的but for(要不是)。此外,根据下文可知用智能卡比现在使用的磁卡系统成本要低,因此引用智能卡的目的是使它取代磁卡作车票和定期券,因此instead of(代替,而不是…)正确。as well as(也,又,和)表并列,more than(比…多)表比较。
