问题     One hundred and thirteen million Americans have at least one bank-issued credit card. They give their owners automatic credit in stores, restaurants, and hotels, at home, across the country, and even abroad, and they make many banking services available as well. More and more of these credit cards can be read automatically, making it possible to withdraw or deposit money in scattered locations, whether or not the local branch bank is open. For many of us, the "cashless society" is not on the horizon—it’s already here.
    While computers offer these conveniences to consumers, they have many advantages for sellers too. Electronic cash registers can do much more than simply ring up sales. They can keep a wide range of records, including who sold what, when, and to whom. This information allows businessmen to keep track of their list of goods by showing which items are being sold and how fast they are moving. Decisions to reorder or return goods to suppliers can then be made. At the same time these computers record which hours are busiest and which employees are the most efficient, allowing personnel and staffing assignments to be made accordingly. And they also identify preferred customers for promotional campaigns. Computers are relied on by manufacturers for similar reasons. Computer analyzed marketing reports can help to decide which products to emphasize now, which to develop for the future, and which to drop. Computers keep track of goods in stock, of raw materials on hand, and even of the production process itself.
    Numerous other commercial enterprises, from theaters to magazine publishers, from gas and electric utilities to milk processors, bring better and more efficient services to consumers through the use of computers.
What can we learn from the first paragraph?
选项 A、Nearly every American has one bank-issued credit card.
B、Only the owners can enjoy the services provided by the credit card.
C、The credit card owners can only enjoy its service across the country.
D、The credit card can only be used in America.
答案B
解析 选项B对应第一段第二句，这一句话提到：信用卡持有者可以在商店、饭店、宾馆，在当地、外地甚至国外赊购货物，同时也享有针对信用卡持卡消费提供的各项服务。也就是说，只有信用卡的持有者才能享受信用卡带来的这些服务。从这句话可以看出，选项C是断章取义。选项A对应第一段第一句，但是第一句只说：美国有1.3亿的人手中至少持有一张银行发行的信用卡，并不是每一个美国人都拥有信用卡，因此选项A曲解了文意。选项D无中生有。
