短文理解
听力原文： In the United States, even if you decide that you do not want to borrow in order to go on vacation, it is still a good idea for you to have several major credit cards. These provide positive identification when renting an automobile and can be used for the deposit. The credit card receipts will serve as an accurate record of all hotel, plane, train, and restaurant expenses. The use of credit cards avoids the necessity of carrying large amount of cash, purchasing large amounts of traveler's cheeks and keeping track of them, or attempting to use personal checks in places other than your own locality.
Many major credit cards provide an instant cash service in case you run out of money. American Express, for example, has set up machines in major airports in which you can purchase traveler's checks using your American Express card.
21. The credit card receipts will serve as accurate record for all but which of the following choices?
22.Which of the following is not true about the use of credit card?
23.Concerning the advantages of credit cards, which of the following is true?
24.According to the passage, which card has set up machines in major airports?
(21)
A．hotel expenses
B．stock exchange
C．plane expenses
D．restaurant expenses
正确答案：B
解析：录音原文提到The credit card receipts will…and restaurant expenses．信用卡收据准确地记录了花费在宾馆、飞机、火车、餐馆方面的支出，没有提及股票交易支出。 -

Q: Which type of credit card is not mentioned in the conversation?
(19)
A．Smart Card.
B．Master Card.
C．Visa Card.
D．American Express.
正确答案：A

Credit Card Only Works When Spoken To
A credit card that will not work unless it hears its owner's voice could become an
important weapon in the fight against fraud（欺骗）.
The card requires users to give a spoken password that it recognizes using a built-in
voice-recognition chip.The idea is to prevent thieves using a stolen card or fraudsters using
someone else's credit card details to buy goods online.
A model built by engineers at Beepcard in Santa Monica,California,represents the
first attempt to pack a microphone,a loudspeaker,a battery and a voice-recognition chip
into a standard-sized credit card.
They are not quite there yet:the card is the length and width of an ordinary credit card,
but it is still about three times as thick.The company now plans to make it thinner.
The voice card is based on an earlier Beepcard technology designed to prevent fraud in
online transactions.This earlier card has no microphone,but has a built-in loudspeaker
that it uses to " squawk"（发出叫声）a voice ID signal via a computer's microphone to an
online server.
By verifying（证实）that the signal matches the card details,the server can establish
that the user is not simply keying in a credit card number but actually has the card to hand.
The ID code changes each time the card is used in a pre-ordered sequence that only the server knows.
This prevents fraudsters recording the beeps, noting the card details and then playing
back the audible ID when they key in the details later.But this earlier technology cannot
prevent fraudulent use of stolen cards.The new one can.
The new voice card also identifies itself by its ID squawk,but it will not do this until it
has verified the legitimate（合法的）user's spoken password. Thieves will be unable to use
the card because even if they knew the password they would have to be able to copy the
owner's voice with a high degree of accuracy.
The challenge for Beepcard has been to develop voice-recognition and audio circuitry
that can be powered by a mini battery embedded（嵌入的）in a credit card. To maximize
battery life,the electronics are only switched on when the card is being used.Pressing a
button on the card's surface prompts it to utter "Say your password" in female voice.If the
voice-recognition software proves that the password is authentic（真实的）,it sends its ID
squawk which the server then identifies,allowing the transaction to proceed.What is the problem with the model card?
A:It is too large.
B:It is too thick.
C:It can't be used in online transactions.
D:It doesn't have a loudspeaker.答案：B解析： -

第7题：
资料：No credit，bad credit Hear the terms often enough and they can blur together.These credit statuses aren’t one and the same，though.
Whether you have no credit or bad credit，one thing’s for sure：You don’t have good credit.And without good credit，you’ll face an uphill battle any time you apply for a loan or credit card.
Potential lenders will want to know that you will almost certainly repay any money that you borrow.They likely won’t risk loaning money or extending credit to those whose creditworthiness is a big question mark or，worse，who have a track record of poor money management.
If you fall into either of these categories，it’s smart to focus on raising your credit scores.
If you have no credit score，you don’t have a credit history.If you have bad credit，it’s likely that you’ve mishandled credit in the past.And these two less-than-ideal credit standings require different solutions.
If you fall in the no-credit category，you haven’t necessarily made any financial mistakes.In this case，a good way to start building that history is to acquire a credit card for people with no credit.Secured credit cards （which require a security deposit）or college student credit cards are typically the easiest to qualify for if you have no credit.A credit-builder loan can also help you establish credit.
Bad credit can be a result of financial missteps，including missing payments，defaulting on loans，or having accounts sent to collections.If you fall into this category and need credit，you’ll need to look for a bad-credit credit card.A secured card or credit-builder loan is a good option in this situation，as well.You also may qualify for a bad-credit personal loan.If you still have open accounts，pay down the balances but don’t close credit accounts if you can avoid it.
People with no credit are just starting to build their financial reputation，while those with bad credit are doing damage control.
Moving from one of these less desirable situations to a good credit standing may use different tools，but the method is much the same： Make your payments on time and keep your debt low.It takes diligence and dedication，but it can be done.
The main purpose of the passage is to______.A.teach people how to have credit accounts
B.suggest ways for people to keep good credit record
C.present a concern about people’s bad credit nowadays
D.explain the differences between no-credit and bad credit答案：D解析：本题考查的是主旨大意。

Credit Card Only Works When Spoken To
A credit card that will not work unless it hears its owner's voice could become an
important weapon in the fight against fraud（欺骗）.
The card requires users to give a spoken password that it recognizes using a built-in
voice-recognition chip.The idea is to prevent thieves using a stolen card or fraudsters using
someone else's credit card details to buy goods online.
A model built by engineers at Beepcard in Santa Monica,California,represents the
first attempt to pack a microphone,a loudspeaker,a battery and a voice-recognition chip
into a standard-sized credit card.
They are not quite there yet:the card is the length and width of an ordinary credit card,
but it is still about three times as thick.The company now plans to make it thinner.
The voice card is based on an earlier Beepcard technology designed to prevent fraud in
online transactions.This earlier card has no microphone,but has a built-in loudspeaker
that it uses to " squawk"（发出叫声）a voice ID signal via a computer's microphone to an
online server.
By verifying（证实）that the signal matches the card details,the server can establish
that the user is not simply keying in a credit card number but actually has the card to hand.
The ID code changes each time the card is used in a pre-ordered sequence that only the server knows.
This prevents fraudsters recording the beeps, noting the card details and then playing
back the audible ID when they key in the details later.But this earlier technology cannot
prevent fraudulent use of stolen cards.The new one can.
The new voice card also identifies itself by its ID squawk,but it will not do this until it
has verified the legitimate（合法的）user's spoken password. Thieves will be unable to use
the card because even if they knew the password they would have to be able to copy the
owner's voice with a high degree of accuracy.
The challenge for Beepcard has been to develop voice-recognition and audio circuitry
that can be powered by a mini battery embedded（嵌入的）in a credit card. To maximize
battery life,the electronics are only switched on when the card is being used.Pressing a
button on the card's surface prompts it to utter "Say your password" in female voice.If the
voice-recognition software proves that the password is authentic（真实的）,it sends its ID
squawk which the server then identifies,allowing the transaction to proceed.What is the advantage of the new voice card?
A:It recognizes only its owner's spoken password.
B:It doesn't need to work with an on!mne server.
C:It requires less ID information.
D:It has a playback function.答案：A解析： -

资料：No credit，bad credit Hear the terms often enough and they can blur together.These credit statuses aren’t one and the same，though.
Whether you have no credit or bad credit，one thing’s for sure：You don’t have good credit.And without good credit，you’ll face an uphill battle any time you apply for a loan or credit card.

If you fall into either of these categories，it’s smart to focus on raising your credit scores.
If you have no credit score，you don’t have a credit history.If you have bad credit，it’s likely that you’ve mishandled credit in the past.And these two less-than-ideal credit standings require different solutions.
If you fall in the no-credit category，you haven’t necessarily made any financial mistakes.In this case，a good way to start building that history is to acquire a credit card for people with no credit.Secured credit cards （which require a security deposit）or college student credit cards are typically the easiest to qualify for if you have no credit.A credit-builder loan can also help you establish credit.

【关键词】solution（s） for Bad-credit
【主题句】倒数第3自然段Bad credit can be a result of financial missteps，including missing payments，defaulting on loans，or having accounts sent to collections.If you fall into this category and need credit，you’ll need to look for a bad-credit credit card.A secured card or credit-builder loan is a good option in this situation，as well.You also may qualify for a bad-credit personal loan.If you still have open accounts，pay down the balances but don’t close credit accounts if you can avoid it.不良信用可能是由于财务失误造成的，包括错过付款，拖欠贷款或账户被银行托收。如果您属于此类别且需要信用，您将需要查找信用不良的信用卡。在这种情况下，担保卡或信用建设者贷款也是一个不错的选择。您也可能有资格获得不良信用的个人贷款。如果您仍有未结账户，请即时支付余额，但如果可以避免，不要关闭信用账户。
【解析】本题的问题是“不良信用的解决方案可能是_______”A选项“账户被银行托收”；B选项“寻找无信用的信用卡”；C选项“支付余额”；D选项“关闭您的信用账户”。根据题目中关键词找到主题句，A选项是导致不良信用的缘由，而非解决方案，故错误；B选项与题干“寻找信用不良的信用卡”相符，故正确；必须在有未结账户的前提下，选择支付余额，C选项缺少限制条件，故错误；D选项与题干“不要关闭信用账户”相矛盾，故错误。故选B。 -
第20题：
资料：No credit，bad credit Hear the terms often enough and they can blur together.These credit statuses aren’t one and the same，though.
Whether you have no credit or bad credit，one thing’s for sure：You don’t have good credit.And without good credit，you’ll face an uphill battle any time you apply for a loan or credit card.
Potential lenders will want to know that you will almost certainly repay any money that you borrow.They likely won’t risk loaning money or extending credit to those whose creditworthiness is a big question mark or，worse，who have a track record of poor money management.
If you fall into either of these categories，it’s smart to focus on raising your credit scores.
If you have no credit score，you don’t have a credit history.If you have bad credit，it’s likely that you’ve mishandled credit in the past.And these two less-than-ideal credit standings require different solutions.
If you fall in the no-credit category，you haven’t necessarily made any financial mistakes.In this case，a good way to start building that history is to acquire a credit card for people with no credit.Secured credit cards （which require a security deposit）or college student credit cards are typically the easiest to qualify for if you have no credit.A credit-builder loan can also help you establish credit.
