(10 points) Given the advantages of electronic money, you might think that we would move quickly to the cashless society in which all payments are made electronically. 1 , a true cashless society is probably not around the corner. Indeed, predictions have been 2 for two decades but have not yet come to fruition. For example, Business Week predicted in 1975 that electronic means of payment “would soon revolutionize the very 3 of money itself,” only to 4 itself several years later. Why has the movement to a cashless society been so 5 in coming? Although electronic means of payment may be more efficient than a payment system based on paper, several factors work 6 the disappearance of the paper system. First, it is very 7 to set up the computer, card reader, and telecommunications networks necessary to make electronic money the 8 form of payment. Second, paper checks have the advantage that they 9 receipts, something that many consumers are unwilling to 10 . Third, the use of paper checks gives consumers several days of “float”—it takes several days 11 a check is cashed and funds are 12 f r o m t h e i s s u e r ’s a c c o u n t , w h i c h means that the writer of the check can earn interest on the funds in the meantime. 13 electronic payments are immediate, they eliminate the float for the consumer. Fourth, electronic means of payment may 14 security and privacy concerns. We often hear media reports that an unauthorized hacker has been able to access a computer database and to alter information 15 there. The fact that this is not an 16 occurrence means that dishonest persons might be able to access bank accounts in electronic payments systems and 17 from someone else’s accounts. The 18 of this type of fraud is no easy task, and a new field of computer science is developing to 19 security issues. A further concern is that the use of electronic means of payment leaves an electronic 20 that contains a large amount of personal data. There are concerns that government, employers, and marketers might be able to access these data, thereby violating our privacy.

篇章主线
本文主题可归为“科技研究与公共参与”。开篇信息是:Given the advantages of electronic money, you might think that we would move quickly to the cashless society in which all payments are made electronically. 复盘时应先抓住文章对象、时间推进和因果变化,再回到每个空格判断词性、搭配和逻辑方向。
整体难点评析
- 篇章层面:完形不是逐空翻词,很多空格依赖前后两三句的照应关系。先判断段落是在介绍背景、推进事件、解释原因还是给出结论,再判断选项是否顺着文章主线发展。
- 语言层面:本篇需要重点关注名词化结构、被动与非谓语、逻辑连接、修饰后置、长句主干识别。遇到长句时先找主谓宾或系表结构,再处理介词短语、定语从句和分词结构。
- 选项层面:常见干扰来自近义词、同一语义场词汇和固定搭配误判。尤其要检查动词是否能支配后面的宾语,形容词是否能修饰目标名词,介词是否符合原文空间或逻辑关系。
- 复盘层面:先用答案链检查自己错题集中在哪一类空格,再把错题分成“词义不准、搭配不熟、逻辑关系反、代词/指代没看清”四类,后续训练会更有效。
选项观察示例
-
- [A] Moreover [B] However [C] Therefore [D] Otherwise
-
- [A] off [B] back [C] over [D] around
-
- [A] power [B] concept [C] history [D] role
这些选项不能只按中文意思选。更稳的做法是先确定空格在句中的语法角色,再看它和前后关键词之间是否形成自然搭配,最后用全文主题检查语义是否跑偏。
易错点总结
- 只看空格所在半句,忽略上一句铺垫或下一句解释,容易把“局部通顺”的选项误当答案。
- 把近义词当成可互换词,忽略语体、搭配对象和逻辑方向,是完形高频失分原因。
- 遇到转折、让步、因果、递进时,要先判断作者态度和事件走向;逻辑方向判断错,后面的词义判断通常也会错。
- 名词空重点看可数性、抽象/具体属性和前置修饰;动词空重点看主语、宾语和时态语态;形容词/副词空重点看评价色彩和程度。
- 复盘时不要只记答案字母,应把正确选项放回原句朗读一遍,确认句法、语义和篇章三层都成立。
