根據(jù)第四段中的 “But equally important is that suppliers such as banks and tech firms (in developed markets)... Most financial firms are keen to abandon 。故選C。根據(jù)第三段中的“In Sweden the number of retail cash transaction per person has fallen by 80% in the past ten years.”可知在過去的十年中,瑞典的人均零售現(xiàn)金交易數(shù)量下降了80%;再根據(jù)“In China digital payments rose from 4% of all payments in 2012 to 34% in 2017.”可知在中國,數(shù)字支付從2012年占所有支付的4%上升到2017年的34%。故選D。根據(jù)第一段中的“Rich countries are racing to dematerialise payments.”可知, 富裕國家正競相將支付非物質(zhì)化;再根據(jù)第三段中的“In Sweden the number of retail cash transaction per person has fallen by 80% in the past ten years.”在過去的十年中,瑞典的人均零售現(xiàn)金交易數(shù)量下降了80%。總的來說,無現(xiàn)金經(jīng)濟的未來是個好消息,但是對于電子支付人們也有一些擔憂。D.C.B.. A.s attitude towards digitalized payment is the infrastructure is developing at a high speed in developed marketsD.younger consumers are short of money to live their digital livesB.China is developing faster that those developed countries in digital payment(3)Cash is disappearing largely because that cash is still king across the worldC.. A.promote payment without paper money or coins(2)In paragraph 3, several countries are mentioned to show get rid of the sideeffects of cashC.. A. Yet set against these benefits are a couple of worries. Electronic payment systems may risk technical failures, power failure and cyberattacks. In a cashless economy the poor, the elderly and country folk may be left behind. And a digital system could let governments watch over people39。 Cash is dying out because of two forces. One is demand— younger consumers want payment systems that plug easily into their digital lives. But equally important is that suppliers such as banks and tech firms (in developed markets) and teles panies (in emerging ones) are developing fast, easytouse payment technologies from which they can pull data and pocket fees. There is a high cost to running the infrastructure behind the cash economy—ATMs, vans carrying notes, tellers who accept coins. Most financial firms are keen to abandon it, or discourage oldfashioned customers with heavy fees. For the past 3,000 years, when people thought of money they thought of cash. Over the past decade, however, digital payments have taken off— tapping your plastic on a terminal or swiping a smartphone has bee normal. Now this revolution is about to turn cash into an endangered species in some rich economies. That will make the economy more efficient—but it also causes new problems that could hold back the transition(轉(zhuǎn)型).8.閱讀理解 各段落中心句的整體歸納便是文章的中心思想。故D項符合題意。這就需要要建筑房屋前統(tǒng)一的綜合的集成設(shè)計,才能有一個可持續(xù)的節(jié)約的環(huán)保綠色的建筑。(4)主旨大意題。(Positive project outes may include reduced airconditioning load, reduced power use for electric lighting, and a reduction in the amount of materials used. )故答案C符合題意。找出更好的解決方案。(3)推理判斷題。由此可知建議安吊扇是因為能減少能源的使用。根據(jù)第三段if we fix ceiling fans, airconditioning homes could surely be avoided for part of the year. Ceiling fans use far less energy. 如果我們按裝吊扇,空調(diào)住宅一年中大部分時間可不用空調(diào)。故答案選B項。根據(jù)第二段Can we start with ending the opendoor practice of streetfront shops? While cool air from these shops is refreshing to pedestrians, it carries a cost. Energy is used in the air conditioning ,作者認為雖然這些商店的涼爽空氣給行人提神,但opendoor practice卻帶來了成本,在空調(diào)降低溫度過程中消耗了能量。所以他鼓勵節(jié)能的集成設(shè)計,即在住宅建成前統(tǒng)一設(shè)計,安裝吊扇,減少空調(diào)的負荷及照明用電等能源。Green buildings call for integrated design【答案】(1)B(2)B(3)C(4)D 【解析】【分析】本文屬于議論文。How to reduce the energy costB.Waste less, live betterD.Proper design and performance to achieve energy reduction.B.All parties should get started at the same time.To help cut down on daily expenses.(3)What39。To help reduce energy use.C.Uncaring.(2)Why does the author suggest fixing ceiling fans? A.Optimistic.Disapproving.Supportive.s the author39。s circle of influence. Better solutions are impossible to avoid with integrated design. Buildings would no longer be engineered after the basic architecture was built. Positive project outes may include reduced airconditioning load, reduced power use for electric lighting, and a reduction in the amount of materials used. In homes built under the smallhouse policy in New Territories, the ceiling may be too low for ceiling fans. If the 9meter maximum building height regulation were relaxed, ceiling fans could be fixed to reduce energy use. Current thinking in sustainable building design and operation involves integrated(協(xié)調(diào)統(tǒng)一的) design, that is, bring together all parties to create a building with better performance that achieves energy reduction. Can we start with ending the opendoor practice of streetfront shops? While cool air from these shops is refreshing to pedestrians, it carries a cost. Energy is used in the air conditioning process. Given the recent interest in green buildings in the media, let39?!军c評】本題考點涉及細節(jié)理解和推理判斷兩個題型的考查,是一篇介紹類閱讀,考生需要準確掌握細節(jié)信息,并根據(jù)上下文進行邏輯推理,從而選出正確答案。根據(jù)Southend 部分中的“On the east coast at the mouth of the Thames, Southend is, like Brighton, one of the favorite resorts of Londoners.”可知Southend和Brighton同樣都是倫敦人最愛去的地方。故選A。(2)考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第一段中的“In the evening when everyone is full of food, icecream and lollypops, there is the long slow drive home on roads crowded with returning cars.”可知因為返程車輛致使路上擁堵,人們裝滿食物慢慢開車回家。Southend is a better preferred resort than Briton by London locals.【答案】(1)C(2)A(3)D 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇應(yīng)用文,介紹了不列顛海岸線上4個供英國人在海灘度過每年的大量時間的度假勝地。People crowded into the water39。There are palm trees growing near Bournemouth.B.D.C.B.Because people are attracted in the resorts so they leave slowly.(2)Which resort is famous for its entertainments and grand lights? A.Because people are full of food, icecream and lollypops.C. On the east coast at the mouth of the Thames, Southend is, like Brighton, one of the favorite resorts
