Cash is unlikely to go away soon. Coins and paper【C1】________remain the most popular ways to pay for things in most countries. But in the long term, cash appears to be in a【C2】________battle with electronic payment methods.
There are few corners of the world where electronic【C3】________are not growing faster than cash. But the movement away from cash is happening in very different ways and at【C4】________paces around the world.
Scandinavian (斯堪的纳维亚的) countries are already well along the road toward【C5】________societies. Many banks in Sweden no longer have cash on hand, and consumers can make instant transfers directly from their bank accounts.
In Kenya, the local mobile phone company Safaricom, not the banks or the government, has pushed the envelope. Safaricom created a system, known as M-Pesa, that allows customers to make payments【C6】________from their phones.
The【C7】________of moving away from cash have been trumpeted (鼓吹) by economists like Kenneth Rogoff, who wrote The Curse of Cash, about how paper money enables【C8】________and tax evasion.
But the critics of cash have been met by their own critics, who argue that electronic payments can disenfranchise (剥夺某人的权利) poor people who【C9】________easy access to bank accounts and the internet and can make it much easier for governments and corporations to monitor a person’s every step.
In the end, though, the future of money is less likely to be determined by these arguments than to be【C10】________by the success of technologists making it easier for you to pay for your lunch or morning coffee without pulling out your wallet.
A) adequately I) enlightening
B) benefits J) lack
C) cashless K) losing
D) crime L) shaped
E) currency M) transactions
F) democratic N) varying
G) directly O) witnessed
H) disadvantages [br] 【C2】
选项
答案
K
解析
空格前是不定冠词a,后面是名词battle,因此应填入形容词或起修饰作用的动词分词形式修饰battle。前两句提到现金的现状,指出它仍是大多数国家最受欢迎的支付方式,本句以转折连词But开头,说明句意发生了转折,因此空格处应填入一个带有负面意义的词,表示从长期来看,现金似乎在与电子支付方式的交战中处于不利的地位,因此K)losing“输的,失败的”为答案,这里的a losing battle意为“一场会失败的战争”。
