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. A true cashless society,【C1】________ , is probably not around the corner. For example, Business Week predicted in 1975 that electronic means of payment "would soon revolutionize the very concept of money itself," only to【C2】________ itself several years later. Why has the movement to a(n)__【C3】________ society been so slow in coming?
Although e-money might be more convenient and may be more efficient than a payment system based on paper, several factors work【C4】________ the disappearance of the paper system. First, it is very expensive to set up the computer, card reader, and telecommunications networks necessary to make electronic money the【C5】________ form of payment. Second, paper checks have the advantage that they【C6】________ receipts, something that many consumers are unwilling to give up. Third, the use of paper checks gives consumers several days of "float" — it takes several days before a check is cashed and funds are【C7】________ from the issuer’s account, which means that the writer of the check can earn interest on the funds in the meantime. They eliminate the float for the consumer【C8】________ electronic payments are immediate. Fourth, electronic means of payment raise security and privacy concerns. We often hear media reports that an unauthorized hacker has been able to access a computer database.
Although a whole new field of computer science has developed to【C9】________ with security issues, a further concern is that the use of electronic means of payment leaves an electronic【C10】________ 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 eating into our privacy.
A. because B. trail C. however D. cope
E. original F. reverse G. resume H. lane
I. cashless J. withdrawn K. provide L. collect
M. dominant N. against O. path [br] 【C1】
选项
答案
C
解析
上下文题。根据词性,此处应当填入连词。可选范围是 “however,because”,且根据上文句意“鉴于电子货币的优势,你也许会认为我们会很快步入非现金社会,实现完全电子支付”,以及下文中提到“真正的无现金社会不会马上到来”,我们可推断要填选项前后句的逻辑关系是转折关系,而不是因果关系,故选however。
