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] 【C3】
选项
答案
M
解析
空格前是形容词electronic“电子的”,后面是are,因此空格处应填入名词的复数形式作从句的主语。本句提到,世界上少有这样的地方,其电子________的发展速度不及现金,而上一段最后一句提到现金和电子支付方式的交战。由此可知,本句依旧在对比电子支付和现金支付,此处应选择与“支付”意义相近的名词,因此M)transactions“交易”为答案。
