Ⅳ. 任务型阅读理解(共 5 题；每题 2 分，满分 10 分)
The People’s Bank of China issued (发行) the fifth edition (版本) of the renminbi (RMB) on August 30, 2019. These bank notes (纸币) had brighter colours and new security features (防伪特征).
We’ve been using bank notes for around 1,000 years. Back in the Northern Song Dynasty, Chinese people made the world’s earliest paper money to replace (代替) metal coins. These bank notes were called jiaozi.
Paper money is cheaper to make and easier to carry. These advantages made it more popular than other forms of money. But now, in the digital age, paper money seems to be disappearing for the same reason.
China seems to be heading towards becoming a cashless (不用现金的) society. From supermarkets to street stores, people pay by using their mobile phones.
But there are worries about creating cashless societies. Some say it is not easy for some people to open bank accounts or deal with mobile phones. And if all of your money is “digital”, it may not be safe enough. Is paper money going away? Although paper money is used less than electronic payment in some countries, it won’t disappear at once in most parts of the world.
36. When was the fifth edition of RMB issued?
37. Which country made the world’s earliest paper money to replace metal coins?
38. Why is paper money more popular than other forms of money?
39. Is it safe if all your money is “digital”?
40. What does the writer want to tell us?
