Most financial firms are keen to abandon it, or discourage oldfashioned customers with heavy fees.”可知現(xiàn)金消失的一個重要原因就是諸如銀行和科技公司（在發(fā)達市場）和電信公司（在新興市場）之類的供應(yīng)商正在開發(fā)快速,易于使用的支付技術(shù),他們可以從中提取數(shù)據(jù)和小費。運行現(xiàn)金經(jīng)濟背后的基礎(chǔ)架構(gòu)需要付出高昂的成本,這些基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施包括自動取款機,載有紙幣的貨車,接受硬幣的出納員。大多數(shù)金融公司都渴望放棄它,或者以高昂的費用勸阻老式客戶。也就是供應(yīng)商為了減少成本,獲取數(shù)據(jù)和小費,開發(fā)了更便捷的支付方式,導(dǎo)致現(xiàn)金支付的減少。故選B。 （4）考查推理判斷?？v觀全文可知，,作者提到無現(xiàn)金支付即電子支付的好處,也提到電子支付引起的擔(dān)憂,對待電子支付是客觀的,故選C。 【點評】本題考點涉及細節(jié)理解和推理判斷兩個題型的考查，是一篇科技類閱讀，考生需要準確捕捉細節(jié)信息，并根據(jù)上下文進行邏輯推理，從而選出正確答案。5．閱讀理解 I grew up in a home with a mother who believes that vaccines (疫苗) cause brain damage, and do not contribute to the health and safety of a society. The only shot I received was for tetanus (破傷風(fēng)) when I was two months old. After that, nothing. At the beginning of each school year, I was very nervous. Delayed term paper? Mischievous (搗蛋的) behavior? Late for school? None of them. I39。d be pulled out of class and brought to the headmaster39。s office. The school doctor would tell me I hadn39。t received any of the necessary shots to attend school. But the same thing occurred each time: my mom would free me from the shots and nothing would happen. After doing a lot of research, I found although people who don39。t vaccinate their children make up only a relatively small group, they can cause major consequences. People who, for health or age reasons, cannot receive vaccines are at a higher risk of catching a preventable disease. Eventually, I turned 18. In Ohio, where I live, I had to wait until I became a legal adult to make the decision to receive vaccine shots. A huge factor in taking the step to ensure my health was the message board website Reddit. Last November, I asked Reddit users for advice about what vaccines to ask for and how to go about getting them from a doctor. After my post received more than 1,000 ments, I made an appointment with my family physician. Despite how strongly my mother felt, I went through with it anyway. I did something every person should do. It wasn39。t special in any way. Vaccines protect the health and safety of not only yourself but also other people. Vaccination is important because someone could die if you don39。t get vaccinated. This was the biggest reason I got vaccines despite the opposition.（1）Why was the author called to the headmaster39。s office at the beginning of each school year? A.He was late for school.B.He didn39。t behave himself at school.C.He couldn39。t hand in his term paper on time.D.He was hardly ever vaccinated.（2）How might the author39。s mother have felt about his appointment with the family physician? A.Annoyed.B.Grateful.C.Thrilled.D.Guilty.（3）What does the author mainly want to tell us through his story? to your mother pays off. the right thing matters. fit is the best policy. for advice helps.【答案】 （1）D（2）A（3）B 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇夾敘夾議文，作者通過自己接種疫苗的經(jīng)歷告訴讀者：疫苗不僅保護你自己，而且保護其他人的健康和安全。接種疫苗很重要，因為如果你不接種，有人可能會死。這也是作者不顧反對接種疫苗的最大原因。 （1）考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第二段中的“The school doctor would tell me I hadn39。t received any of the necessary shots to attend school.”可知，學(xué)校的醫(yī)生會告訴我，我沒有接受過任何必要的上學(xué)必須要進行的接種。因此推知，學(xué)期初作者被叫到校長辦公室是因為他幾乎從來沒有接種過疫苗。故選D。 （2）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中的“Despite how strongly my mother felt, I went through with it anyway.”不管我媽媽強烈反對，我還是堅持了下來)可知，媽媽對于作者與家庭醫(yī)生的約會感動惱怒。故選A。 （3）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)最后一段中的“I did something every person should do.”我做了每個人都應(yīng)該做的事情；以及下文“Vaccines protect the health and safety of not only yourself but also other people. Vaccination is important because someone could die if you don39。t get vaccinated.”疫苗不僅保護你自己，而且保護其他人的健康和安全。接種疫苗很重要，因為如果你不接種，有人可能會死，可推斷，作者通過他的經(jīng)歷告訴我們做正確的事情，對己對人都有好處。故選B。 【點評】本題考點涉及細節(jié)理解和推理判斷兩個題型的考查，是一篇人生感悟類閱讀，考生需要準確捕捉細節(jié)信息，并根據(jù)上下文進行邏輯推理，從而選出正確答案。6．閱讀短文，從每題所給的四個選項（A、B、C和D）中，選出最佳選項。 For the past two years I have been travelling and living abroad.
