Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the 
correct answer to each of the questions 
 Smart cards and mobile phones are becoming an increasingly popular way to make all sorts of payments. 
Even now, in Japan thousands of transactions, from paying rail tickets to picking up the groceries, take place 
every day with customers passing their handsets across a small flat-screen device. And predictions in the 
world of finance reckon that payments using mobile phones will have risen to more than $50 billion in the 
very near future.
 What's the appeal of e-cash? Compared to cheque or credit cards, it offers the speed of cash, but more 
so. It takes just one tenth of a second to complete most transactions and as no change is required, errors in 
counting are eliminated. Fraud and theft are also reduced and for the retailer, it reduces the cost of handling 
money. Sony's vision of having a chip embedded in computers, TVs and games consoles means that films, 
music and games can be paid for easily without having to input credit card details. And what about the future 
of the banks? Within their grip on the market, banks and creditcard firms want to be in a position to collect 
most of the fees from the users of mobile and contactless-payment systems. But the new system could prove 
to be a "disruptive technology" as far as the banks are concerned. If payments for a few coffees, a train ticket 
and a newspaper are made every day by a commuter with a mobile, this will not appear on their monthly credit 
card statements but on their mobile phone statements. And having spent fortunes on branding, credit-card 
companies and banks do not want to see other payment systems gaining popularity. It's too early to say whether 
banks will miss out and if so, by how much. However, quite a few American bankers are optimistic. They feel 
there is reason to be suspicious of those who predict that high-street banks may be a thing of the past. They 
point out that Internet banking did not result in the closure of their high-street branches as was predicted. On 
the contrary, more Americans than ever are using local branches. So, whether we'll become a totally cash-free 
society remains open to contention.
Question 34. What is the main idea of the first paragraph?
 A. Predictions of future payment methods.
 B. The increasing popularity of new payment methods. 
 C. The absence of traditional payment methods. 
 D. Japan's advanced forms of payment.
Question 35. Which of the following is NOT true about the strong point of e-cash?
 A. faster speed B. reduced costC. no fraud D. fewer mistakes

 A. to be familiar with the people around them. B. to be concerned about the people around them. 
 C. to keep in touch with the people around them. D. to keep a track of the people around them. 
Question 48. What does the word "These" in paragraph 3 refer to?
 A. feelings. B. relationships. C. highs and lows.D. good and bad times. 
Question 49. Which of the following is closest in meaning to "siblings" in paragraph 2?
 A. children B. brothers and sistersC. friends D. husband and wife 
Question 50. According to the passage, which example below is probably NOT TRUE about the definition 
of family?
 A. step- father and daughter relationshipB. wife and husband relationship 
 C. god- mother and god-son relationshipD. nanny and baby relationship
