They need to do more to prepare for the side-effects. 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 become 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 (转型). Countries are removing cash at varying speeds. In Sweden the number of retail cash transaction per person has fallen by 80% in the past ten years. America is perhaps a decade behind. Outside the rich world, cash is still king. But even there its leading role is being challenged. In China digital payments rose from 4% of all payments in 2012 to 34% in 2017. 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 telecoms companies (in emerging ones) are developing fast, easy-to-use payment technologies from which they can pull data and pocket fees. There is a high cost to run the infrastructure (基础设施) behind the cash economy —ATMs, vans carrying notes, tellers who accept coins. Most financial firms are keen to abandon it, or discourage old-fashioned customers with heavy fees. In the main, the prospect of a cashless economy is excellent news. Cash is inefficient. When payments dematerialize, people and shops are less open to theft. It also creates a credit history, helping consumers borrow. Yet set against these benefits are a couple of worries. Electronic payment systems may risk technical failures, power failure and cyber attacks. In a cashless economy, the poor, the elderly and country folk may be left behind. And a digital system could let governments watch over people’s shopping habits and private multinationals exploit their personal data. 1．Some rich countries are trying to ______. A．dematerialize money B．get rid of the side-effects of cash C．make the economy more efficient by protecting endangered species D．promote payment without paper money or coins 2．In Paragraph 3, several countries are mentioned to show ______. A．the differences between developed and developing countries B．that cash is still king across the world C．digital payments are becoming a trend that cannot be stopped D．China is developing faster than those developed countries in digital payment 3．Cash is disappearing largely because ______. A．younger consumers are short of money to live their digital lives B．suppliers are trying to reduce costs and obtain money and data C．the infrastructure is developing at a high speed in developed markets D．financial firms want to abandon old-fashioned customers 4．The author’s attitude towards digital payments is ______. A．favorable B．negative C．objective D．indifferent 5．The underlined word “abandon” in the fourth paragraph means ______. A．stop using or having something B．make use of something C．depend on something D．a bad man 二、短文填空：阅读短文，在空白处填入适当的内容或括号内单词的正确形式。（共10小题，每小题1分，共10分） ChatGPT is a new kind of computer program that can talk to people. It was 6 (make) by OpenAI, a group of people 7 want to use computers to help the world. ChatGPT is very 8 (smartly) because it can read a lot of words on the Internet and learn from them. It can write sentences about many things, like 9 (scientific), history, sports, and movies. But ChatGPT is not just a writer. It is also a listener and a 10 (speak). It can 11 (understood) what people say and reply to them. ChatGPT can do many things that other computer programs cannot. For example, it can answer more 12 (question), correct people when they are wrong. It can also make jokes, show feelings, and have a personality to make the talk more fun and friendly. ChatGPT can talk about many topics with people, but it does not know everything or always give the right answer. Sometimes it may also change 13 (it) answer if people ask the same question 14 a different way. ChatGPT is still a new thing, and Open AI is trying to make it better. They also want to know what people think about it and 15 they use it. They hope that ChatGPT can help people learn new things and have fun. 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 编写说明：基于中职学生英语知识能力普遍薄弱的学情特点，我们始终坚持“以生为本”的教育理念，深度融合支架式教学理论，深度解读最新的《中等职业学校英语课程标准》，匠心打造了契合职教高考命题特色的《英语 基础模块3》（高教版2023修订版）《一课一练》专辑，专辑共40练。 本卷为《英语 基础模块3》（高教版2023修订版） Unit 3 Artificial Intelligence（Reading and Writing）的课后作业。 《英语 基础模块3》（高教版2023修订版） Unit 3 Artificial Intelligence 一课一练（13） Reading and Writing 一、阅读理解：根据短文内容，从A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳答案（共5小题，每小题1分，共5分） Rich countries are racing to dematerialize payments.

A．favorable B．negative C．objective D．indifferent 5．The underlined word “abandon” in the fourth paragraph means ______. A．stop using or having something B．make use of something C．depend on something D．a bad man 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．B 4．C 5．A 【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章针对富裕国家支付非物质化这一现象，提出观点并从不同角度进行分析论证，阐述其利弊。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段中“Rich countries are racing to dematerialize payments. (富裕国家正在竞相实现支付非物质化。)”可知，富裕国家正在推广无纸币或硬币的支付方式。故选D。 2．推理判断题。根据第三段“Countries are removing cash at varying speeds. In Sweden the number of retail cash transaction per person has fallen by 80% in the past ten years. America is perhaps a decade behind. Outside the rich world, cash is still king. But even there its leading role is being challenged. In China digital payments rose from 4% of all payments in 2012 to 34% in 2017. (各国淘汰现金的速度各不相同。在瑞典，过去十年里人均零售现金交易数量下降了80%。美国可能落后大约十年。在富裕国家之外，现金仍然占据主导地位。但即便在这些地方，现金的主导地位也受到了挑战。在中国，数字支付在所有支付方式中的占比从2012年的4%上升到了2017年的34%。)”可知，虽然不同国家现金使用情况不同，但都呈现出数字支付发展的趋势，说明数字支付是不可阻挡的潮流。故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据第四段中“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 telecoms companies (in emerging ones) are developing fast, easy-to-use payment technologies from which they can pull data and pocket fees. There is a high cost to run the infrastructurebehind the cash economy — ATMs, vans carrying notes, tellers who accept coins. (现金逐渐消失有两大因素。一是需求方面，年轻消费者希望支付系统能轻松融入他们的数字生活。但同样重要的是，像银行和科技公司（在发达市场）以及电信公司（在新兴市场）这样的供应商正在开发快速、易用的支付技术，他们可以从中获取数据并赚取费用。运营现金经济背后的基础设施成本高昂——自动取款机、运钞车、接收硬币的柜员等。)”可知，现金逐渐消失有两个原因，一是年轻消费者的需求，二是供应商为了获取数据和费用，且运营现金经济背后的基础设施成本高昂，所以供应商努力减少现金使用。故选B。 4．推理判断题。根据第五段中“Cash is inefficient. When payments dematerialize, people and shops are less open to theft. It also creates a credit history, helping consumers borrow. (现金效率低下。当支付实现非物质化时，人们和商店遭遇盗窃的风险会降低。它还能创建信用记录，帮助消费者借贷。)”和第六段“Yet set against these benefits are a couple of worries. Electronic payment systems may risk technical failures, power failure and cyber attacks. In a cashless economy, the poor, the elderly and country folk may be left behind. And a digital system could let governments watch over people’s shopping habits and private multinationals exploit their personal data. (然而，与这些好处相对的是一些担忧。电子支付系统可能面临技术故障、停电和网络攻击的风险。在无现金经济中，穷人、老年人和农村居民可能会被甩)”可知，作者既提到了数字支付的优点，也提到了其缺点，所以作者的态度是客观的。故选C。 5．词句猜测题。根据上文“There is a high cost to run the infrastructurebehind the cash economy — ATMs, vans carrying notes, tellers who accept coins. (运营现金经济背后的基础设施成本高昂——自动取款机、运钞车、接收硬币的柜员等。)”以及“or discourage old-fashioned customers with heavy fees. (或者通过高额费用来劝退传统的客户。)”可推知，大多数金融公司都渴望放弃现金支付方式，故划线的单词意为“放弃”。故选A。 二、短文填空：阅读短文，在空白处填入适当的内容或括号内单词的正确形式。（共10小题，每小题1分，共10分） ChatGPT is a new kind of computer program that can talk to people. It was 6 (make) by OpenAI, a group of people 7 want to use computers to help the world. ChatGPT is very 8 (smartly) because it can read a lot of words on the Internet and learn from them. It can write sentences about many things, like 9 (scientific), history, sports, and movies. But ChatGPT is not just a writer. It is also a listener and a 10 (speak). It can 11 (understood) what people say and reply to them. ChatGPT can do many things that other computer programs cannot. For example, it can answer more 12 (question), correct people when they are wrong. It can also make jokes, show feelings, and have a personality to make the talk more fun and friendly.
