语法填空
阅读下面短文，按照句子结构的语法性和上下文连贯的要求，在空格处填入一个适当的词或使用括号中词语的正确形式填空。
Maybe you never opened that account (账户)．But someone else .________—someone who used your name，your credit card number or your .________(person) information to commit fraud (造假) without letting you know,.________is actually a crime，pure and simple.
The biggest problem is .________(probable) that you may not know that someone has taken away your identity 5.________you notice that something is wrong：you may get bills for .________credit card account you never opened，your credit report may include debts you never knew you had,.________you may see charges on your bills that you didn’t sign for，and even don’t know anything about.
If your identity has really .________(steal) like that，the Federal Trade Commission(FTC) suggests that you .________(take) at least two actions immediately.
First，contact the fraud departments of the major credit offices and ask them .________copies of your credit reports.
Then，review your reports carefully to check your corrections and changes.
1．did [中间由but连接，所以两句应是对称的，谓语动词应是open，但一般为避免重复，用do代替，此处用did与前面保持时态一致。]
．personal [information是名词，前面用形容词修饰。personal“个人的”。]
．which [which引导非限制性定语从句，此处先行词不是一个单词，而是整个句子。]
．probably [此处需要一个副词来修饰is，表示“可能是”。]
．until [not...until...“直到……才……”。本句意为：直到你注意到不对时，才会知道有人盗用了你的身份。]
．a [不定冠词a表泛指的“一个”。a credit card account意为“一个信用卡账户”。]
．or [这里列举了三种个人信息被盗用的情况，or表示“或者”。]
．been stolen [has说明是完成时态，又因为是被偷，所以用has been stolen。]
．take [此处suggest作“建议”讲，后面的that从句应用虚拟语气，即用should do的形式，should可省略。]
．for [ask sb.for sth.“向某人要某物”，固定搭配。]

阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
Which are you more likely to have with you at any given moment—your cellphone or your wallet? Soon you may be able to throw your wallet away and pay for things with a quick wave of your smart phone over an electronic scanner.
In January, Starbucks announced that customers could start using their phones to buy coffee in 6, 800 of its stores. This is the first pay-by-phone practice in the U. S. , but we’re likely to see more wireless payment alternatives as something called near field communication(NFC) gets into America’s consumer electronics. Last December, some new smart phones which contain an NFC chip were introduced to the public.
Already in use in parts of Asia and Europe, NFC allows shoppers to wave their phones a few inches above a payment terminal—a contact-free system built for speed and convenience. But before NFC becomes widely adopted in the U. S. , a few problems need to be worked out, like who will get to collect the profitable transaction (交易) fees. Although some credit card providers have been experimenting with wave-and-pay systems that use NFC-enabled credit cards, cellphone service providers may try to muscle their way into the point-of-sale(POS) market. Three big cellphone service providers have formed a joint venture (合资企业) that will go into operation over the next 15 months. Its goal is “to lead the U. S. payments industry from cards to mobile phones.”
The other big NFC issue, apart from how payments will be processed, is security. For instance, what’s to stop a thief from digitally pickpocketing you? “We’re still not at the point where an attacker can just brush against you in a crowd and steal all the money out of your phone,” says Jimmy Shah, a mobile-security researcher. “Users may also be able to set transaction limits, perhaps requiring a password to be entered for larger purchases.”
Still uneasy about this digital-wallet business? Keep in mind that if you lose your smart phone, it can be located on a map and remotely disabled. Plus, your phone can be password protected. Your wallet isn’t.
1. What is predicted to happen in the U. S. ?
A. The expansion of cellphone companies.
B. The boom of pay-by-phone business.
C. The disappearance of credit cards.
D. The increase of Starbucks sales.
2. The NFC technology can be used to .
A. ensure the safety of shoppers
B. collect transaction fees easily
C. make purchase faster and simpler
D. improve the quality of cellphones
3. Three cellphone service providers form a joint venture to .
A. strengthen their relationship
B. get a share in the payments industry
C. sell more cellphones
D. test the NFC technology
4. According to the passage, what can users do if they lose their smart phones?
A. Stop the functioning of their phones.
B. Set up a password.
C. Get all the money out of their phones.
D. Cancel large purchases.

【参考答案及解析】
1.去掉what考查介词宾语。此处about后直接接名词或名词名词短语。
.damages—damage考查名词的单复数。此处damage为不可数名词。 w.w.^w.k.&s.5*u.c.#om
.actual—actually考查副词的用法。修饰动词用副词故用actually。
.fast—faster考查形容词的比较级。根据句中的than可知用比较级。
.and—or考查句意理解。根据句意此处表选择关系。
.thousands后加of考查短语的表达法。“数以千计”表示为“thousands of”。
.were—are考查动词时态。根据句意应用选择进行时。
8.How—What考查表语从句的连接词。此处what在表语从句中作do的宾语。
.V经分析本句正确。
．Does—did考查动词时态。在it is time that句型中，应用虚拟语气故用一般过去时。
