One hundred and thirteen million Americans have at least one bank-issued credit card. They give their owners automatic credit in stores, restaurants, and hotels, at home, across the country, and even abroad, and they make many banking services available as well. More and more of these credit cards can be read automatically, making it possible to withdraw or deposit money in scattered locations, whether or not the local branch bank is open. For many of us the "cashless society" is not on the horizon-it's already here.

While computers offer these conveniences to consumers, they have many advantages for sellers too. Electronic cash registers can do much more than simply ring up sales. They can keep a wide range of records, including who sold what, when, and to whom. This information allows businessmen to keep track of their list of goods by showing which items are being sold and how fast they are moving. Decisions to reorder or return goods to suppliers can then be made. At the same time these computers record which hours are busiest and which employees are the most efficient, allowing personnel and staffing assignments to be made accordingly. And they also identify preferred customers for promotional campaigns. Computers are relied on by manufacturers for similar reasons. Computer-analyzed marketing reports can help to decide which products to emphasize now, which to develop for the future, and which to drop. Computers keep track of goods in stock, of raw materials on hand, and even of the production process itself.

Numerous other commercial enterprises, from theaters to magazine publishers, from gas and electric utilities to milk processors, bring better and more efficient services to consumers through the use of computers.

1. According to the passage, the credit card enables its owner to______.

A. withdraw as much money from the bank as he wishes

B. obtain more convenient services than other people do

C. enjoy greater trust from the storekeeper

D. cash money wherever he wishes to

Best Answer: B

詳解：選B)。短文第一段是關(guān)于信用卡(credit card)的。B項(xiàng)的根據(jù)是第一段中的They (credit cards) give their owners automatic credit in stores…和…can be read automatically.既然信用卡能在商店、餐館、旅店、家里、全國(guó)各地、甚至國(guó)外等各種場(chǎng)合自動(dòng)給予“信用”，那么信用卡持有人當(dāng)然會(huì)比其他得到更為方便的服務(wù)。A)是陪襯項(xiàng)，明顯不對(duì);C)項(xiàng)解釋錯(cuò)誤;根據(jù)withdraw or deposit money in scattered locations判斷D)項(xiàng)錯(cuò)。

2.From the last sentence of the first paragraph we learn that______.

A. in the future all the Americans will use credit cards

B. credit cards are mainly used in the United States today

C. nowadays many Americans do not pay in cash

D. it is now more convenient to use credit cards than before

Best Answer: C

詳解：選C)。本題是語(yǔ)義理解題。第一段最后一句意思是"對(duì)我們大多數(shù)人來(lái)說(shuō)，‘無(wú)現(xiàn)金的社會(huì)’不是在地平線上(即不是剛剛出現(xiàn)的新事物)，在這兒已經(jīng)實(shí)現(xiàn)了"。句中many of us指我們?cè)S多美國(guó)人，it's already here中的it指cashless society，即"不用現(xiàn)金支付"。顯然C)項(xiàng)是這句話的含義。最后一句話只談到cashless society的已經(jīng)存在，既推不出A)，也推不出B)。

3. The phrase "ring up sales" (Line 2, Para. 2) most probably means______.

A. make an order of goods

B. record sales on a cash register

C. call the sales manager

D. keep track of the goods in stock

Best Answer: B

詳解：選B)。本題考查考生根據(jù)上下文推測(cè)詞義的能力。短語(yǔ)所在的句子是比較級(jí)句型，根據(jù)“比較對(duì)象一致”的原則可知，ring up sales與“電子現(xiàn)金出納機(jī)”electronic cash register屬于同類(lèi)東西。又根據(jù)下文They can keep a wide range of records, including…， 可知electronic cash register能記許多東西，提供各種銷(xiāo)售信息，從這兩方面可猜測(cè)B項(xiàng)是ring up sales的意思，即現(xiàn)金收錄記錄機(jī)，一種功能單一的現(xiàn)金出納機(jī)。A)項(xiàng)解釋毫無(wú)根據(jù)，C)項(xiàng)離得太遠(yuǎn)，D)項(xiàng)是electronic cash register的功能之一。故B)為最佳答案。

4. The second paragraph focuses upon the purpose of______.

A. giving some specific examples of how businessmen rely on computers

B. convincing us how useful computers are to sellers

C. conveying computers are derived from promotion campaign

D. supporting the idea that we rely on computers completely

Best Answer: B

詳解：選B)。題干問(wèn)“第二段的主要用途是什么”?A)項(xiàng)為了提供一些商人怎樣依賴(lài)于電腦的確切例子;B)項(xiàng)為了使我們相信計(jì)算機(jī)對(duì)商人有多么重要;C)項(xiàng)表明計(jì)算機(jī)起源于推銷(xiāo)運(yùn)動(dòng);D)項(xiàng)為了證明我們完全依賴(lài)于電腦?？v觀全文可知，通篇第二段在講計(jì)算機(jī)對(duì)商人的種種用途，因此，答案為B)。

5. What is this passage mainly about?

A. Approaches to the commercial use of computers.

B. Conveniences brought about by computers in business.

C. Significance of automation in commercial enterprises.

D. Advantages of credit cards in business.

Best Answer: B

詳解：選B)。本題為中心思想測(cè)試題。第一段介紹了計(jì)算機(jī)使credit card持有人存款、存、支付等極其方便;第二段講計(jì)算機(jī)給銷(xiāo)售商帶來(lái)許多便利，第三段講了計(jì)算機(jī)運(yùn)用的廣泛性，而且都是商業(yè)方面的運(yùn)用，由此可知，本文主題思想應(yīng)為B)(計(jì)算機(jī)在商業(yè)中所帶來(lái)的好處)。A)項(xiàng)計(jì)算機(jī)的商用方法;C)項(xiàng)商業(yè)自動(dòng)化的重要性;D)項(xiàng)商業(yè)中信用卡的優(yōu)點(diǎn)。A)、C)、D)均不是本短文的主題思想。
