答案为B。
本题为句意理解题。
本句话出现在第二段的第五句话中,如果每个银行将选择自助服务系统,客户会怎样?
结合下文给的例证可知,结果是银行只能提供客户人工操作的选择,故可推断如果客户只能选择自助服务系统,一旦它出现故障,客户即使离开银行也将无法表达对银行服务的愤怒。
故答案为B。

答案解析:
答案为A。
本题考查作者的观点态度。
本题与第一题类似,结合前面几题的分析,作者认为自助服务可以给银行和客户带来好处,但是自助服务也有不足之处。
又由最后一段最后一句话“Instead,abalancebetweenself-serviceandtraditionalformsofserviceisnecessary.”可知,作者认为自助服务与传统形式的服务保持平衡是必要的,故答案为A。

D.goodolddaywillneverbeforgotten
1.C.细节理解题.第一段中有Thepeoplewerepoor.However,theywerenotunhappy.和C项意思一致.
2.A.细节理解题.根据第三段和本段第一句Thisseemedlikemoneyfornothing.句中fornothing是"免费的"意思,说明青蛙容易得到,并能赚到钱,村民才答应买.
3.B.推理判断题.根据倒数第二段中Theyhadbeendoinganimportantjob---eatinginsects.Nowwithsomanyfrogskilled,theinsectswereincreasingmorerapidly.Theyweredamagingthecropsandspreadingdiseases.可以推断出庄稼收成不好,孩子生病与青蛙减少,害虫增多有关.
4.C.推理判断题.最后一句Thesesoundsofthenightnowhaveamuchdeepermeaning.现在夜晚的这些声音具有更深刻的意义.该句是一个中介句,说明人们过度捕杀造成生态失衡,由此也影响了人类,因此,可以推断人与自然的和谐是重要。

1.B.词义猜测题.从第一句的hate,到but意义上的转折,说明尽管不喜欢,还是要"尝试一下",所以try的意思更接近shot.
2.C.细节理解题.根据第一段中They'llthrowdowncash,halfofwhattheyowe,andthenpeoplelikeme,whodon'tdrink,enduppayingevenmore.可知类似作者这样的人在纽约吃饭吃亏,因为付钱多.
3.D.推理判断题.根据第二段和其中的句子Notonlythat,theguestsareaninterestingmix.可以推断伦敦的party要比纽约的有趣.
4.B.推理判断题.从最后一段的talkingaboutotherpartsoftheworldmeansBrooklynandQueensinNewYork.和InNewYorkpeoplewouldthinkitwasausualnewclub可以推断,作者对一些纽约人的看法,是"以自我为中心的".
