英語六級支付方式閱讀練習

　　Although credit cards are becoming a more acceptable part of the financial scene, they are still regarded with suspicion by many as being a major part of the "live now pay later" syndrome. Along with hire purchase, rental and leasing schemes. they provide encouragement to spend more money. They can allow you to pile up debts that you have difficulty paying off, they can also let you spend next month's salary today. Of course, it is only the foolhardy who succumb to the temptation to live. temporarily at least, beyond their means. and such people would no doubt manage to do so even without credit cards.

　　Advertising campaigns have. however, promoted a growing realization of the advantages of these small pieces of plastic. They obviate the need to carry large amounts of cash and are always useful in emergencies. All the credit card organizations charge interest on a monthly basis which may work out as high as 25 per cent a year. yet judicious purchasing using a card can mean that you obtain up to seven weeks interest freecredit. Using me card abroad where items frequently take a long time to be included on your account can extend this period even further.

　　It is worthwhile shopping around before deciding on a particular credit card. It is necessary to consider the amount of credit granted; interest rates, which may vary slightly; che number and range of outlets, chough most cards cover major garages, hotels. restaurants and departments stores: and of course. what happens if your card is lost or stolen A credit card chief may be sitting on a potential gold mine particularlyif there is delay in reporting the loss of the card.

　　Using a credit card wisely takes discipline and a little self-control. Once you realize your debt is someone else’s profit margin, your approach to your plastic will change. With a bit of discipline and some practical knowledge, you can make your cards work for you. rather than the other way round. As a matter of fact, a credit card can cost nothing or at least help to tide you over a period of financial difficulty.

　　答案：

　　1.[spend more money/use tomorrow's money/live now and pay later]

　　[定位]第2段第1、2句。

　　解析：題干中的lure是原文encouragement的同義表達，因此encouragement后的不定式為本題提供了答題依據(jù)。此外，第1句的live now pay later意思與之相近，也可為答案。

　　2.[live beyond their means/live now and pay later]

　　[定位]第2段末句。

　　解析：題干中的in the absence of credit cards對應(yīng)原句的without credit cards，聯(lián)系前半句可知原句中do so指的是live beyond their means，即為答案。

　　3.[Being able to enjoy the free interest in certain period]

　　[定位]第3段最后兩句。

　　解析：第3段第2句首先提到了信用卡的兩個優(yōu)點：no need to carry cash和being useful in emergencies。第3句在提到它收取高額利息后，用yet表轉(zhuǎn)折提出它的第三個優(yōu)點：interest free credit,最后一句加以補充說明。

　　4.[What should be considered before you decide on a credit card]

　　[定位]第4段首句。

　　解析：根據(jù)主題句第1句及第2句中“It is necessary to consider...”所列舉的事項可以得出結(jié)論：該段主要講述選擇信用卡時要考慮的一些因素。

　　5.[his debt is the bank's profit]

　　[定位]末段第2句。

　　解析：題干中的if可對應(yīng)原句的once，know對應(yīng)realize，故realize后的賓語從句即為題干中賓語the truth的同位語從句。正確理解該賓語從句是解題關(guān)鍵，原句的someone else實指銀行，而銀行是信用卡持有人的債主，由此答案不難得出。
