They give their owners automatic credit in stores, restaurants, and hotels, at home, across the country, and even abroad. And they also make many banking services available. For many of us the "cashless society" is already here.While computers offer these conveniences to consumers, they have many advantages for sellers too. Electronic cash registers can do much more than simply ring up sales. They can keep a wide range of records, including who sold what, when, and to whom. This information allows businessmen to keep track of their list of goods by showing which items are being sold and how fast they are moving. Decisions to reorder or return goods to suppliers can then be made.At the same time these computers record which hours are busiest and which employees are the most efficient, allowing personnel and staffing assignments to be made accordingly. And they also identify preferred customers for promotional campaigns. Computers are relied on by manufacturers for similar reasons. Computer-aided marketing reports can help to decide which products to emphasize now, which to develop for the future, and which to drop. Computers keep track of goods in stock, of raw materials on hand, and even of the production process itself.Numerous other commercial enterprises, from theaters to magazine publishers, from gas and electric utilities to milk processors, bring better and more efficient services to consumers through the use of computers.According to the passage, the credit card enables its owner to ______ .A withdraw as much money from the bank as he wishesB obtain more convenient services than other people doC enjoy greater trust from the storekeeperD cash money wherever he wishes to【正确答案】：B【本题分数】：1.0分【答案解析】事实细节题。

大学英语三级B语法专项强化真题试卷2(题后含答案及解析)题型有：1.1．The company makes it possible______the market information with its partners.A．shareB．sharingC．to shareD．shared正确答案：C解析：本题考查it充当形式宾语的用法。

当不定式(短语)、动名词(短语)或从句在句中作宾语时，为保持句式结构的平衡，避免句式结构的混乱，常用it 作形式宾语，而将真正的宾语后置，构成“动词+it+宾语补足语+不定式(动名词或从句)”的结构。

think，feel，find，consider，make，regard等动词接it作形式宾语时，多数情况下使用不定式结构充当真正的宾语，只有在少数句型中才使用动名词短语。

由此确定本题答案为C)。

2．It has been unusually cold this winter and experts say it’s not______.A．normalB．differentC．necessaryD．important正确答案：A解析：本题考查形容词的辨析。

整个句子是由连词and连接的并列句，所以and前后的内容在意义上具有一致性。

前半句提到，今年冬天天气异常寒冷，而且句中出现了unusually“异乎寻常地，不寻常地”，所以后半句的意思应该为“专家们认为这不正常”。

符合句意的只有normal“正常的”。

由此确定本题答案为A)。

3．The rope is not strong enough to______the weight of the big case.A．conductB．produceC．makeD．support正确答案：D解析：本题考查动词的辨析。

根据句意，空格前提到“这根绳子不够结实”，后面提到“这个大箱子的重量”，因此空格处填入的动词应该有“支撑，支持，承受”的意思。

2014年12月全国大学成人英语三级ab级考试题答案±(461533046) PART I DICTATIONChoosing A CareerQ/ 4.6.1.5.3.3.0.4.6.When students graduate from college,many of them do not know how they want to spend their working lives and they sometimes move from job to job, until they find something that suits them and of equally importance to which they are suited. Others never find a job in which they are really happy. They remain all their lives square pegs in round holes. When we choose our careers we need to ask ourselves two questions. First, what do we think we would like to be? Second, what kind of people are we? The idea, for example of being a painter or a musician may seem very attractive, but unless we have great talent, and are willing to work very hard. We are certain to fail in these occupations and failure will lead to unhappiness in life. So it is important to assess our suitability for a certain career in job search.PART II LISTENING COMPREHENSION（略）PART III CLOZE31-35 CADBA 36-40 CADAD 41-45 CBDAB 46-50 ADBCBPART IV GRAMMAR & VOCABULARY51-55 DBDCB 56-60 CDCDB 61-65 ACDAB 66-70 DCADBPART VI WRITING大作文题目：The benefits for volunteering小作文题目：向Jane推荐一份英文报纸，说明报纸的两个特点。
