Given the advantages of electronic money, you might think that we would move quickly to the cashless society in which all payments are made electronically. ___1___, a true cashless society is probably not around the corner. Indeed, predictions of such a society have been ___2___ for two decades but have not yet come to fruition. For example, Business Week predicted in 1975 that electronic means of payment “would soon revolutionize the very ___3___ of money itself,” only to ___4___ itself several years later. Why has the movement to a cashless society been so ___5___ in coming?
Although e-money might be more convenient and may be more efficient than a payments system based on paper, several factors work __6___ the disappearance of the paper system. First, it is very ___7___ to set up the computer, card reader, and telecommunications networks necessary to make electronic money the ___8___ form of payment. Second, paper checks have the advantage that they ___9___ receipts, something that many consumers are unwilling to ___10___. Third, the use of paper checks gives consumers several days of "float"-it takes several days ___11___ a check is cashed and funds are ___12___ from the issuer's account, which means that the writer of the check can earn interest on the funds in the meantime. ___13___ electronic payments are immediate, they eliminate the float for the consumer. Fourth, electronic means of payment ___14___ security and privacy concerns. We often hear media reports that an unauthorized hacker has been able to access a computer database and to alter information ___15___ there.
Because this is not an ___16___ occurrence, unscrupulous persons might be able to access bank accounts in electronic payments systems and ___17___ funds by moving them from someone else’s accounts into their own. The ___18___ of this type of fraud is no easy task, and a whole new field of computer science has developed to ___19___ security issues. A further concern is that the use of electronic means of payment leaves an electronic ___20___ that contains a large amount of personal data on buying habits. There are worries that government, employers, and marketers might be able to access these data, thereby encroaching on our privacy.

【答案詳解】
1. [標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案] [A]
[考點(diǎn)分析] 本題考察邏輯關(guān)系
[選項(xiàng)分析] 因?yàn)榭疾爝壿嬯P(guān)系,所以需要我們先對(duì)填空前后的原文信息做定位分析:填空之后的信息為”a true cashless society is probably not around the corner .”(一個(gè)無現(xiàn)金社會(huì)不太可能馬上出現(xiàn)),而文章之前的信息都是在說我們可能馬上就進(jìn)入一個(gè)無現(xiàn)金社會(huì),兩者之間出現(xiàn)了明顯的轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系,因此只有however符合題意。B. moreover表遞進(jìn) C. therefore 表結(jié)果 D. Otherwise表對(duì)比
2. [標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案] [D]
[考點(diǎn)分析] 上下文語義
[選項(xiàng)分析] 根據(jù)該句的but可知,其前后句子是轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系。后一句是說這種形式的社會(huì)并沒有真正有成果出來,所以前一句應(yīng)該為這樣的預(yù)測(cè)已經(jīng)進(jìn)行了二十年。其它選項(xiàng)不符合題意。
