填空题The development of writing was one of the great human inventions. It is difficult (51) many people to imagine language without writing; the spoken word seems intricately tied to the written (52) . But children speak (53) they learn to write. And millions of people in the world speak languages with (54) written form. Among these people oral literature abounds, and crucial knowledge (55) memorized and passed (56) generations. But human memory is short-lived, and the brain's storage capacity is finite. (57) overcame such problems and allowed communication across the miles (58) through the years and centuries. Writing permits a society (59) permanently record its poetry, its history and its technology. It might be argued (60) today we have electronic means of recording sound and (61) to produce films and television, and thus writing is becoming obsolete. (62) writing became extinct, there would be no knowledge of electronics (63) TV technicians to study; there would be, in fact, little technology in years to (64) . There would be no film or TV scripts, no literature, no books, no mails, no newspapers, no science. There would be (65) advantages: no bad novels, junk mails, poison-pen letters, or "unreadable" income-tax forms, but the losses would outweigh the (66) . There are almost as (67) legends and stories on the invention of writing as there are (68) the origin of language. Legend has it that Cadmus, Prince of Phoenicia and founder of the city of Thebes, (69) the alphabet and brought it with him to Greece.

[A] Energising money [B]
The dilemma of smart-card systems[C] The future of money
[D] Sending money home[E] Flashing the plastic
[F] A cash call[G] How to pay in Tokyo
Smart cards and mobile phones are quickly emerging as ways to pay with
electronic cash. 41. ______. Nowadays, some of
the hottest nightclubs have a new trick for checking the identity of their VIP
guests: they send an entry pass in the form of a super bar code to their mobile
phones. Mobile phones are becoming an increasingly popular way to make all sorts
of payments. In America fans of the Atlanta Hawks have been testing specially
adapted Nokia handsets linked to their Visa cards to enter their local stadium
and to buy refreshments. It reckons worldwide payments using mobile phones will
climb from just $ 3.2 billion in 2003 to more than $ 37 billion by
2008. 42. ______. More banking services are also
being offered on mobiles. On February 12th, 19 telephone operators with networks
in over 100 countries said that people would be able to use their handsets to
send money abroad. MasterCard will operate the system in which remittances will
be sent as text messages. Sir John Bond, formerly chairman of the HSBC banking
group and now chairman of Vodafone, has 10rig been convinced that payments and
mobiles would somehow converge. "Mobile phones have the ability to make a
dramatic change to village life in Africa," he says. 43.
______. The various "contactless" payment systems rely on a
technology called "near-field communication" (NFC). But mobile phones can be
much smarter. They can be de-activated remotely; they have a screen which can
show information, like a credit balance and product information; they have a
keyboard to enter information and they can communicate. This means they can also
be used to auth0rise larger payments by entering PIN codes directly on the
handset or topped up with stored credit from an online bank account without
having to go to an ATM. 44. ______. To see the
potential of mobile-phone money, start in Japan. Most Japanese have at least one
credit card, but they tend to stay in their owners' pockets. Housewives
routinely peel off crisp YI0 000 ($ 82) notes to pay for their shopping. Utility
bills and other invoices are dutifully taken to the bank and paid in cash, or
more likely these days at the local convenience store. Yet despite the
popularity of cash, the mobile phone is starting to change even Japan's
traditional habits." However, many smart-card systems do not
work with each other, but that will change on March 18th when 26 railways and 75
bus companies in the greater Tokyo area will begin sharing a new stored-value
system, called Pasmo. This too will be available both as a plastic smart-card or
built into mobile phones. 45. ______. Unlike the
Japanese, Americans prefer to use plastic for their purchases. Cards account for
more than half of all transactions, up from 29% a decade ago, according to
Nilson Report, a trade publication. More than 1.5 billion credit cards are
stuffed into Americans' wallets. The average household has more than ten. Banks
and credit-card firms hope to convert more cash and cheque payments to plastic
with new smart cards. Some versions are already very successful. Many Americans
use EasyPass, in which drivers pay for highway tolls wirelessly.
A decade ago some observers predicted that internet banking would render
retail banking from high-street branches obsolete. But JPMorgan, Bank of America
and others are adamant that people are nowadays using bank branches more than
ever. Even if the phone and the smart card replace cash, who gets to collect the
fees remains open to contention.
