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 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 4itself several years later.Why has the movement to a cashless society been so 5 in coming?Although electronic means of payment 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 telecornmunications 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 cam interest on the funds in the meantime.13 electronic payments arc immediate,they eliminate the float for the consumer.Fourth,electronic means of payment may 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.The fact that this is not an 16 occurrence means that dishonest persons might be able to access bank accounts in electronic payments systems and 17 from someone else's accounts.The 18 of this type of fraud is no easy task,and a new field of computer science is developing 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.There are concerns that government,employers,and marketers might be able to access these data,thereby violating our privacy.5选?A.silentB.suddenC.slowD.steady

答案
C
解析
词义辨析【直击答案】本题空格所在句为Why has the movement to a cashless society been so 5 coming?根据上文信息可知“《经济周刊》早在1975年就预测了无现金社会的到来,但事实上预测迄今并未实现。这里作者提出疑问“为什么无现金社会到来如此之慢?”故答案选择C项slow“缓慢的,迟钝的”。【命题思路】本题考查考生对上文信息的理解,同时也考查考生对一组形似形容词的辨析。【干扰排除】答案所给四个选项中,A项silent“沉默的”有一定干扰性,即表述这样的改革为何还是沉默的,但表述含义明显没有C项(slow)更具体和完整,故排除。
