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. And【B15】______the fact that it costs 1.6¢ to make each l¢ coin, more pennies are produced than any other U.S. denomination.【B16】______bills such as the $500, $1,000, $5,000, and $10,000 had no such luck,【B17】______, and the $100,000 note was printed but never released .【B18】______hundreds of billions of dollars in circulation at any given time(more than $330 billion was produced last year alone), updating security features on currency is a(n) 【B19】______process. "In God We【B20】______," sure. In humans, not so much.
【B6】
选项
A、longevity
B、span
C、assumption
D、regulation
答案
A
解析
语义逻辑题。需要联系上下文。前文中提到100元纸币可以用7年,而1元钱只能用21个月。也就是说前面几句话都是在讨论纸币的寿命。由the same kind可推断出空格所在句子承接上文依然在讨论货币的寿命,意为“大陆币没有那么长寿”。四个选项中可以表示“长寿、寿命”的只有A项。
