【答案】

（1）D

（2）C

（3）B

（4）C

【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，富裕国家正在减少现金支付,现金正在因为需求等原因消失。

总的来说,无现金经济的未来是个好消息,但是对于电子支付人们也有一些担忧。

（1）考查细节理解。

根据第一段中的“Richcountriesareracingtodematerialisepayments.”可知,富裕国家正竞相将支付非物质化；再根据第三段中的“InSwedenthenumberofretailcashtransactionperpersonhasfallenby80%inthepasttenyears.”在过去的十年中,瑞典的人均零售现金交易数量下降了80％。

结合上下文,可知某些富裕国家比如瑞典正在减少现金支付,推广不用纸币或硬币的支付方式,也就是电子支付方式。

故选D。

（2）考查推理判断。

根据第三段中的“InSwedenthenumberofretailcashtransactionperpersonhasfallenby80%inthepasttenyears.”可知在过去的十年中,瑞典的人均零售现金交易数量下降了80％；再根据“InChinadigitalpaymentsrosefrom4%ofallpaymentsin2012to34%in2017.”可知在中国,数字支付从2012年占所有支付的4％上升到2017年的34％。

瑞典和中国的共同点是现金支付减少,电子支付比例上升,由此可推断作者提到瑞典和中国是为了说明数字支付正成为一种不可阻挡的趋势。

故选C。

（3）考查推理判断。

根据第四段中的“Butequallyimportantisthatsupplierssuchasbanksandtechfirms（indevelopedmarkets）...Mostfinancialfirmsarekeentoabandonit,ordiscourageold-fashionedcustomerswithheavyfees.”可知现金消失的一个重要原因就是诸如银行和科技公司（在发达市场）和电信公司（在新兴市场）之类的供应商正在开发快速,易于使用的支付技术,他们可以从中提取数据和小费。

运行现金经济背后的基础架构需要付出高昂的成本,这些基础设施包括自动取款机,载有纸币的货车,接受硬币的出纳员。

大多数金融公司都渴望放弃它,或者以高昂的费用劝阻老式客户。

也就是供应商为了减少成本,获取数据和小费,开发了更便捷的支付方式,导致现金支付的减少。

故选B。

（4）考查推理判断。

纵观全文可知，,作者提到无现金支付即电子支付的好处,也提到电子支付引起的担忧,对待电子支付是客观的,故选C。

【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解和推理判断两个题型的考查，是一篇科技类阅读，考生需要准确捕捉细节信息，并根据上下文进行逻辑推理，从而选出正确答案。

【答案】

（1）B

（2）D

（3）B

（4）B

【解析】【分析】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文，从作者自身经历出发，表达了作者对于社会上对待动物的不公平现象的看法。

（1）考查细节理解。

根据第一段中的“Jedisn'tjustmydog.Heismyfamily.”杰德不仅仅是我的狗。

他是我的家人。

可知杰德对作者来说意义重大。

故选B。

（2）考查细节理解。

根据第二段中的“Butnosoonerhadtherulecomeinthanitwasquicklyrepealed.AlittlegirlinVictoriahadwalkeduptoaJackRussellinastoreandbeenbitten.Thatwasit.Nomoredogs.”但这条规定刚一实施就很快被废除了。

维多利亚州的一个小女孩在一家商店里走向一只杰克罗素犬，结果被咬了。

就这样。

不能有狗进商店了。

可知Bunnings停止遵守这一规定，因为它想保证顾客的安全。

故选D。

（3）考查细节理解。

根据第六段中的“Mydogwasfrightenedandtriedtogetaway.Thelittlegirlranafterhim,shoutingloudly.Theparentsdidnothing;theyjustlettheirkidfrightenmydogandthensaidIshouldhavestoppedhimfromlickingher.”我的狗吓坏了，想逃跑。

小女孩在他后面跑，大声喊叫。

父母什么也没做;他们只是让他们的孩子吓唬我的狗，然后说我应该阻止他舔她。

可知在狗公园杰德受到了不公平的待遇。

故选B。

（4）考查推理判断。

根据倒数第二段中的"‘Ijustdon'twanttohavetomeetadogwhenIgoshopping,’saidonecalleronaradioshowyesterday.Look,Igetthat.Butthethingis,Idon'talwayswanttohaveyourkidkickthebackofmyseatfortwohoursonaplane."我只是不想在购物时遇到一只狗，"昨天在一个广播节目中，一位打电话的人说。

我明白了。

但是问题是，我并不想让你的孩子在飞机上花两个小时踢我的座椅靠背。

可推知作者认为打电话的人的话语很伤人。

故选B。

【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解和推理判断两个题型的考查，是一篇人生感悟类阅读，考生需要准确捕捉细节信息，并根据上下进行逻辑推理，从而选出正确答案。
