The price of a bitcoin topped $900 last week, an enormous surge in value that arrived amidst Congressional hearings where top U.S. financial regulators took a surprisingly optimistic view of digital currency. Just 10 months ago, a bitcoin only sold for $13.
The【C1】________increase was big news across the【C2】________ , from Washington to Tokyo to China, and it left many asking themselves: "What on earth is a bitcoin?" It’s a good question.
Bitcoin is a digital currency, meaning it’s money controlled and stored entirely by computers【C3】________ across the internet, and this money is finding its way to more and more people and businesses around the world.【C4】________it’s much more than that, and many people—【C5】________the sharpest of internet【C6】________as well as seasoned economists—are still【C7】________to come to terms【C8】________its many identities.
Bitcoin isn’t just a currency, like dollars or euros or yen. It’s a way of making【C9】________. like PayPal or the Visa credit card network. It lets you hold money, but it also lets you spend it and【C10】________it and move it from place to place, almost as cheaply and easily as you’d send an email.
As the press so often points out, bitcoin lets you do all this without【C11】________your identity. But at the same time, it’s a system that operates【C12】________in the public view. All bitcoin【C13】________are recorded online for anyone to see, lending a certain transparency to the system, a transparency that can drive a new【C14】________in the economy.
Bitcoin is much more than a money service. It’s a re-imagining of【C15】________finance, something that【C16】________ barriers between countries and frees currency from the control of federal governments. Bitcoin is controlled by open source software that operates according to the【C17】________of mathematics—and by the people who collectively supervise this software. The software【C18】________ on thousands of machines around the world, but it can be changed It’s just that a majority of those supervising the software must【C19】________to the change.【C20】________, bitcoin is kind of like the internet, but for money.
【C9】
选项
A、payments
B、money
C、efforts
D、deals
答案
A
解析
空格后的like PayPal or the Visa credit card network说明bitcoin的功能。PayPal和Visa都是支付工具,因此A项payments“付款”符合上下文语义。make payments意为“支付”。B项make money表示“赚钱”,上下文并没有提到如何用比特币来赚钱。C项make efforts表示“做出努力”,这里也没有涉及为何事做出努力。D项make deals表示“做买卖”,PayPal和Visa credit card是支付工具,而不是交易方式。
