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.【C1】________, a true cashless society is probably not around the corner. Indeed, predictions of such a society have been【C2】________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【C3】________of money itself," only to【C4】________itself several years later. Why has the movement to a cashless society been so【C5】________in coming?
Although electronic might be more convenient and may be more efficient than a payments system based on paper, several factors work【C6】________the disappearance of the paper system. First, it is very【C7】________to set up the computer, card reader, and telecommunications networks necessary to make electronic money the【C8】________form of payment. Second, paper checks have the advantage that they【C9】________receipts, something that many consumers are unwilling to【C10】________. Third, the use of paper checks gives consumers several days of "float"—it takes several days【C11】________a check is cashed and funds are【C12】________from the issuer’s account, which means that the writer of the check can earn interest on the funds in the meantime.
【C13】________electronic payments are immediate, they eliminate the float for the consumer.
Fourth, electronic means of payment【C14】________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【C15】________there. The fact this is not an【C16】________occurrence means that dishonest persons might be able to access bank accounts in electronic payments systems and【C17】________from someone else’s accounts. The【C18】________of this type of fraud is no easy task, and a new field of computer science is developing to【C19】________ security issues. A further concern is that the use of electronic means of payment leaves an electronic【C20】________that contains a large amount of personal data on buying habits. There are concerns that government, employers, and marketers might be able to access these data, thereby violating on our privacy.
【C1】
选项
A、However
B、Moreover
C、Therefore
D、Otherwise
答案
A
解析
本题考查上下文逻辑关系,需要我们先对填空前后的原文信息做定位分析。填空之前的原文信息表述为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. (基于电子货币的各种优势,你或许会认为我们将快速跨入一个所有支付都电子化的无现金社会。)上述信息阐述的是一个普遍性的观点,特别是句子中使用了might、would等情态动词,暗示这种普遍观点实际上是不符合事实的。填空之后的信息为a true cashless society is probably not around the corner (一个真正的无现金社会并不是近在咫尺)。很明显前后文信息出现了相反对立的关系,因此只有A项However符合题意。其他选项例如B项Moreover表示递进关系,C项Therefore表示因果关系,D项Otherwise表不条件关系,均不符合原文上下文的逻辑关系。
