【分析】
解题思路：首先通读全文，明确短文围绕数字银行展开，方框内有10个词且每词限用一次，需结合语境、语法（时态、词性）及固定搭配逐一填空。先分析每个空的句子结构、时态要求，再匹配方框内词汇并调整形式，确保语义通顺。
【解析】
14. 句中时间状语“over the past few years”提示用现在完成时，结构为“have/has+过去分词”，方框内“develop”的过去分词为“developed”，符合“银行开发数字服务”的语境。
15. 主语“it”指代数字银行，是第三人称单数，句子描述客观情况用一般现在时，“allow”需变第三人称单数形式“allows”，符合“允许人们不用去实体银行”的语义。
16. 从句主语“you”为第二人称，一般现在时用动词原形，“use your phone or computer”表示“使用手机或电脑”，符合语境。
17. 句意为“购物不需要带现金”，“cash”是不可数名词，符合语义。
18. 固定搭配“help sb do sth”，“save time”表示“节省时间”，符合“不用排队节省时间”的语境。
19. 固定搭配“protect...from...”表示“保护……免受……”，此处指保护用户的钱和信息不被偷，用动词原形“protect”。
20. 修饰介词短语“for busy office workers and students”需用副词，“especial”的副词形式为“especially”，表示“尤其”，符合语境。
21. 固定搭配“provide sth for sb”表示“为某人提供某物”，“will”后接动词原形，用“provide”。
22. 时间状语“Now”及“has”提示用现在完成时，“become”的过去分词仍为“become”，表示“成为必要工具”。
23. “its”后接名词，“benefit”是可数名词，此处指多种好处，用复数形式“benefits”。

三、阅读表达。
阅读短文，简略回答问题。
In recent years, China's agriculture（农业）has developed very fast. It brings great changes to the countryside and our daily life. With the help of modern science and technology, farming becomes much easier than before. Many useful machines, such as harvesters（收割机）and water pumps（泵）, are widely used in the fields. Farmers don't have to do heavy work by hand anymore. They can finish the work in a short time and save lots of energy.
Besides modern machines, good seeds（种子）and proper fertilizers（肥料）also play an important role in agricultural development. These good seeds grow fast, so we can get more rice, wheat, corn and vegetables. Some farmers build greenhouses to grow plants. In this way, we can eat fresh vegetables and fruits even in cold winter. More and more young people also go back to the countryside now. They use their new ideas and knowledge to develop modern agriculture, like planting organic vegetables and selling them online to make more money.
The fast development of agriculture not only provides enough food for us, but also makes farmers' lives better. It helps our country become stronger. We should value food and thank all the people who work hard for the agricultural development.
24. How does farming become easier for farmers now?

25. Why can we get more food like rice and wheat now?

26. How can we eat fresh vegetables and fruits in cold winter?
