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). 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. 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。. A.get rid of the sideeffects of cashC.promote payment without paper money or coins（2）In paragraph 3, several countries are mentioned to show . A.that cash is still king across the worldC.China is developing faster that those developed countries in digital payment（3）Cash is disappearing largely because younger consumers are short of money to live their digital livesB.the infrastructure is developing at a high speed in developed marketsD.s attitude towards digitalized payment is . A.B.C.D.總的來說,無現(xiàn)金經(jīng)濟(jì)的未來是個好消息,但是對于電子支付人們也有一些擔(dān)憂。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％。故選D。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C。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 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(dá)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(fèi)。大多數(shù)金融公司都渴望放棄它,或者以高昂的費(fèi)用勸阻老式客戶。故選B?？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。6．閱讀理解 The test, which was carried out this week, is widely believed to be the first successful demonstration of space cleanup technology, experts told CNN. And it symbolizes an early step toward solving what has already been a critical issue: junk in space. Various panies have plans to send thousands of new satellites into lowEarth orbit, already the most crowded area. s Surrey Space Center and includes Airbus, Airbusowned Surrey Satellite Technology Ltd. and France39。Guglielmo Aglietti, the director of Surrey Space Center, said that an operational version of the RemoveDEBRlS technology would cast a net that remains fastened to the main satellite so the debris can be dragged out of orbit. It could target large pieces of junk, including dead satellites up to 10 meters long. s experiment was exciting, but he cautioned against over publicizing it. Aglietti, the Surrey professor who helped lead the RemoveDEBRIS project, said The challenge will lie in persuading the relevant authorities to sponsor these tasks. Aglietti said he hopes RemoveDEBRIS will conduct a few cleanup tasks per year, targeting the largest pieces of junk in the most crowded orbits.（1）What is the use of the RemoveDEBRIS satellite? A.Imitating a developing technique.C.Symbolizing great progress in space.（2）How does the RemoveDEBRlS satellite work? A.By fastening it to the main satellite tightly.C.By targeting large pieces of junk carefully.（3）What does the underlined word sponsor in the last paragraph probably mean?

In this way the tiny home can let you live fortably wherever you travel. It even has its own shower and toilet, sleeping area for two, and a small kitchen. The 3,306 ib pods can be transported in a seacontainer, meaning the possibilities are endless.16
