选项 A.However
B.Moreover
C.Therefore
D.Otherwise

答案 A

解析逻辑关系【直击答案】本题空格所在句为a true cashless society is probably not around the corner.根据所给四个选项，可以判断出空格所需填入词是衔接上下文逻辑的连词。解答本题，要联系上文信息“由于电子货币的优势，你可能会认为我们将会很快步入一个没有现金的社会，所有交易都是由电子货币完成”。空格所在句意为，“真正的无现金社会可能还不会很快到来”。around the corner意为“在拐角处，即将来临”，由此可判断出两个句子含义之间是转折逻辑关系，故答案为A项。【命题思路】本题考查考生对上下文信息的理解，同时也考查考生对表述逻辑关系的连词的理解和运用。【干扰排除】本题B项therefore有一定干扰度，若考生没有理解空格所在句中around the corner的意思，很容易将本句意思理解为和上一句为递进关系的含义而误选。
