Valley. It was another ingenious brainwave from the late great David Bowie.
The Thin White Duke had previously explored ___2___ technology could impact the
consumption of pop with a CD-ROM ___3___ (enable) any fan with a PC to make their own
promo (宣传) for the 1994 track “Jump, They Say.” He was also one of the few major artists who
embraced the world wide web in its infancy. Indeed, it was on his own website, ,
two years later that the icon introduced many to the art of downloading.
Of course, the Bowieligious were probably more interested in the radical change of sound at
the time. ___4___ self-produced “Telling Lies” was a committed foray into the drum and bass
scene that had recently ___5___ (popularise) by the likes of Goldie and Shy FX. Its skittering
breakbeats and industrial rock riffs would inform much of 1997 parent album, Earthling which
___6___ (remain) perhaps the most divisive of Bowie’s career.
Yet the godlike figure certainly appeared to recognise the magnitude of such a release tactic,
organising a ___7___ (promote) interactive event at a mystery New York location which cleverly

Topic 4: History and Culture
Passage 07
It's a hazy summer day in southern England, not far from the medieval (中世纪) market town
of Arundel, and the Sussex countryside is dozing in the heat. In a pasture on a family farm a mile
___1___ so west of the town's historic castle, an international team of military veterans and
archaeologists from the University of York is ___2___ (method) sifting through mounds of soil
taken from a long, deep trench.
The site they are excavating is a surprisingly recent one, given Arundel's ancient past. It dates
from World War II, specifically the evening of June 22, 1944, ___3___ an American B-24
Liberator heavy bomber crashed in this field after sustaining severe damage in a daylight raid over
France. The dig is shedding light on ___4___ unsung (无名故事) - and as yet unfinished - tale of

___5___ the bomber's 10-man crew, seven were able to bail out as the stricken plane
approached the British coast: Bombardier, gunners, radio man, and ___6___ (navigate) all were

(卡津) world and les Americains,” she says.
Prejean, who was raised in Ossun, a tiny, ___4___ (incorporate) community in southwest
Louisiana, is 64 now. Her story is an echo of the thousands of people in the region with
Francophone ancestry. What makes her version a little different, however, is that she learned the
language. Many people her age never did. French was a source of shame - Cajuns were often
labeled stupid and backward—and parents wanted to shield their children ___5___ prejudice.
That started to change during the latter half of the 20th century with the launch of efforts to
improve the understanding of Cajun heritage - not to mention attract tourism. Programs ___6___
(pop) up to turn the tide on the diminishing use of the French language, including ___7___
(establish) immersion programs in schools and flying in teachers from other Francophone nations.
___8___ a generational divide remains. The dialect of ___9___ (age) grandparents and
great-grandparents often doesn’t translate to the “standard” French that elementary- and
high-school-age children are learning. To bridge that gap, locals established a new French
language and literacy school for adults in the tiny town of Arnaudville, which sits at the
intersection of two bayous (河口) and two Louisiana parishes (教学区) and has become the
unlikely hub for the French ___10___ (revive).

Passage 09
California's Caldor Fire ripped its way across the Tahoe Basin this week, forcing thousands to
evacuate, burning homes and communities in its path, and staining Lake Tahoe's iconic blue
waters with ___1___ (fall) ash.
The fire, like many others burning across the U.S. West this year, spread rapidly in part
___2___ it's burning intensely, propelled by hot, dry, windy weather conditions and forests
overpacked with trees - food for hungry fire.
But it has also run up against some ___3___ (area) that have been “treated” to reduce their
fire risk, patches of forest - some big, some not so big - that have been trimmed in the past,
___4___ by hand with chainsaws and masticators (电锯和割碎机) or with carefully managed
prescribed fire. These ___5___ (treat) are intended to make forests healthier and more resilient
___6___ all kinds of pressures, including fire.
In the fires burning across California this year, and in other major recent fires, experts say
these efforts may have done their job - which is not to stop the fires but to lower their intensity
enough that they can ___7___ (control).
The efforts serve many purposes, but one crucial role is that “they're meant to give
firefighters an opportunity ___8___ (defend) life and property,” says Kelly Martin, the former
chief of fire for Yosemite National Park. “Now what we ___9___ (see) is, we have several
hundred-thousand-acre fires bearing down on these communities - for ___10___ it's worth, they've
done their job.”
Passage 10
After pummeling Louisiana on Sunday as a Category 4 storm, Hurricane Ida ___1___ (spin)
its way through Alabama and Tennessee toward the East Coast, where it is forecast to spread yet
more severe weather in the form of rain and tornado-generating winds.
While the exact future of rapid intensification remains ___2___ investigation, scientists can
confidently say warmer temperatures will make hurricanes rainier and slower ___3___ (move).
In addition, Louisiana’s topography played a role in Ida’s sluggish (缓慢的) movement.
Storms rely on warm ocean water as fuel, and when the hurricane made landfall in Port Fourchon,
the marshes and swamps continued to feed ___4___ energy. Those same wetlands, however, also
help absorb one of the deadliest impacts of hurricanes - walls of water surging in from the sea.
Hurricane Ida was forecast to produce a surge as high as 16 feet, but early ___5___ (report)
indicate the surge was half that. Forecasters ___6___ (intent) warn about worst-case scenarios to
encourage those in harm’s way to evacuate.
As Hurricane Ida crawled over land at a slow pace, it dumped enough rain to cause levee
failures in Plaquemines Parish and flooding in low-lying areas south of New Orleans. Part of that
flooding ___7___ (bring) on by a storm surge high enough to inundate coastal towns. And because
Louisiana loses its wetlands at the rate of a football field every hour, it will increasingly lose
___8___ (protect) against surging ocean waters.
As climate change makes storms more extreme, it means coastal communities will have to
adapt to ___9___ (dangerous) weather. “The takeaway has got to be that if you’re relying on plans,
___10___ they be evacuation plans or infrastructure (基础建设) or design, and it’s not based on
what I would call the new normal - that climate change has altered the frequency and intensity of
extreme events - then it’s time to update them,” says Northwestern’s Horton.

Passage 11
In a preprint paper led by Brehm, available on Research Square and submitted to Nature
Communications, scientists reveal the possible discovery of two ___1___ (fright) strong solar
events. One occurred in 7176 B.C., as nomadic hunter-gatherer societies gave way to agrarian
settlements, and the other did so in 5259 B.C., as the planet emerged from the final throes of its
___2___ (late) ice age. Both events are thought to be at least as strong as the one in A.D. 775,
making the trio (三重事件) possibly the strongest known solar flares ___3___ record. For the past
decade, scientists have been on the hunt for additional extreme events like that eighth century one.
___4___ (look) so far back in time, researchers rely on chemical analyses of samples from
polar ice caps, as well as from ancient trees preserved in waterlogged bogs (浸满水的沼泽) or
high on mountaintops. ___5___ solar particles hit our atmosphere, they can produce unstable
radioactive forms of various elements that accumulate in such places. In the case of carbon, the
solar activity can form carbon 14, which is absorbed by tree rings as they grow. ___6___ each ring
corresponds to a single year of growth, this gives an incredibly precise date of any spikes caused
by increased solar activity: the more carbon 14 there is in one, the more solar particles ___7___
(hit) our atmosphere at a given time.
___8___ (take) together, these methods can provide a very precise account of historical
events. We have tree ring data for most of the Holocene - ___9___ (we) current geologic epoch,
which began about 12,000 years ago. Poring through them for events such as carbon 14 spikes is
time-consuming, however. Looking at just a single year typically requires weeks of analyzing and
cross-correlating multiple tree-ring samples. “There's 12,000 years of the Holocene to do, and we
___10___ (do) 16 percent of it,” says Alexandra Bayliss, head of scientific dating at Historic
England and a co-author on the paper. “It's a matter of time and money.”
Passage 12
What ___1___ your smartphone or laptop started charging as soon as you walked in the door
Researchers ___2___ (develop) a specially built room that can transmit energy to a variety of
electronic devices within it, charging phones and powering home appliances ___3___ plugs or
batteries.
This system “enables safe and high-power wireless power transfer in large volumes,” says
Takuya Sasatani, a project assistant professor at the University of Tokyo’s Graduate School of
Engineering and lead author of ___4___ new study, which was published this week in Nature
Electronics. The room relies on the same phenomenon as short-range wireless phone chargers: a
metal coil, placed in a magnetic field, ___5___ (produce) an electric current.
Existing commercial charging docks use electricity from a wall outlet to produce a magnetic
field in a small area. Most recent smartphones ___6___ (equip) with a metal coil, and when such a
model is placed on the dock, the ___7___ (interact) generates enough current to power the phone’s
battery. But today’s commercial products have a very limited range. If you lift a phone off the
dock or swathe (包裹) it in a case that is too thick, the wireless power transfer ceases. But if a
magnetic field filled a whole room, any phone within it would have access to wireless power.
“The prospect of having a room ___8___ a variety of devices could just receive power
anywhere is really compelling and exciting,” ___9___ (say) Joshua Smith, a professor of
computer science and electrical ___10___ (engineer) at the University of Washington, who was
not involved in the new study. “And this paper takes another step toward making that possible.”

___8___ (effective) weapon was a virus.
___9___ (test) multiple times, the deadly myxoma virus was released on Australia's rabbits in
1950. The virus had been developed very carefully to affect only rabbits. Nearly 100 percent of
the rabbits who caught the disease ___10___ (die). Populations fell. It was a huge success. Cattle
and sheep farming recovered gradually, and threatened plants were better protected. Eventually,
rabbits became resistant to the virus.

visitors while also raising money for charity.
Passage 04
I ___1___ (head) for the Asturian capital of Oviedo, a compact city of roughly 220,000
residents separated from the slightly larger Gijón by rapidly encroaching suburbs. Each city has a
proprietary social scene; you can be a VIP in one and all ___2___ unknown in the other. Oviedo
has the ___3___ (good) museums; Gijón has the beach. Twice a year, the Sporting Gijón and Real
Oviedo soccer teams bring the rivalry to life before a full stadium.
Most visitors come upon Oviedo first. They seek out some of the best pre-Romanesque (前罗
马风格的) architecture in the world, 14 preserved buildings, including the tall ninth-century
palace-church complex of Santa María del Naranco. I go there ___4___ (one), and enter a vaulted
room made of stones the colour of milk-clouded coffee. Only one other person is here. The
windows ___5___ (cut) thick into the walls, their shutters flung open. I peer over a grove of trees
and see the city spread ___6___ below.
Within the hour I'm making my way through Oviedo and find sculptures on almost every

(母亲)", a rounded woman with an equally rounded child by Colombian ___7___ (sculpt)
Fernando Botero, then Miguel Ortiz Berrocal's "El Diestro (灵巧)", a metallic rendering of a
bullfighter's torso.
Oviedo's artistic ___8___ (awake) has happened only over the last generation, just as Nacho
Manzano started drawing international attention to his small restaurant in the mountains. "Before
then, we didn't think Asturias had much ___9___ (offer) the world," explains Esther Manzano,
Nacho's sister, ___10___ has her own restaurant, La Salgar, in the centre of Gijón. "We didn't
believe in ourselves. We didn't have fantastic weather. We were a long drive from anywhere, there
were no flights. We assumed nobody would want to come."

Passage 05
Robert started spraying at night in a few part of Bristol from 1983. His first mural read
“Graffiti Stylee” and Robert added three letters "D" to sign, his pseudonym (笔名) came about: 3D.
The rebellious teenager ___1___ (be) into comics, electro and punk music, especially The Clash.
3D’s artwork impressed many wannabe graffiti (涂鸦模仿) writers in Bristol and some
started working with him, like Ian Dark and his Z Boys collective, while music crews asked him
to draw their flyers. The interest for his art grew; he and The Wild Bunch started ___2___ (squat)
hubs (中心) like the Special K café and the Dug Out club.
Most Bristolians who lived through the era remember their parties ___3___ the best night
outs. 3D's reputation became so strong that Bristol's contemporary art centre, Arnolfini, decided to
organise an ___4___ (exhibit) around the movement, "Graffiti Art", as early as 1985.
3D’s murals like No Great Crime had from the start a unique edge, and a political and critical
feel. Arrested ___5___ (two) by the police, he started painting for ___6___ (pub) owners and
friends, inspired by the ___7___ (economy) recession and anti-Thatcher sentiment among Bristol's
working class. He experimented with stencils and collage, looking into the work of Andy Warhol
and Jean-Michel Basquiat. In 1987, he ___8___ (invite) to exhibit in London.
Soon, other artists made ___9___ name for themselves in Bristol, especially Inkie, aka (又名)
Tom Bingle, who is still very active today and co-founded festivals such as the current Upfest,
taking place every year in July in South Bristol, inviting artists from ___10___ the globe. Inkie
and other artists like Pride, Jaffa, FLX and a few years later Nick Walker, worked not only on
Bristol's walls but also in London, Paris, Amsterdam, Berlin and beyond.
Passage 06
Five years before Steve Jobs launched the iPod and more than a decade before the advent of
Spotify, a man who was no stranger to innovation helped to change the way we all listen to music.
___1___ the idea to release the first official downloadable single didn’t emerge from Silicon
Valley. It was another ingenious brainwave from the late great David Bowie.
The Thin White Duke had previously explored ___2___ technology could impact the
consumption of pop with a CD-ROM ___3___ (enable) any fan with a PC to make their own
promo (宣传) for the 1994 track “Jump, They Say.” He was also one of the few major artists who
embraced the world wide web in its infancy. Indeed, it was on his own website, ,
two years later that the icon introduced many to the art of downloading.
Of course, the Bowieligious were probably more interested in the radical change of sound at
the time. ___4___ self-produced “Telling Lies” was a committed foray into the drum and bass
scene that had recently ___5___ (popularise) by the likes of Goldie and Shy FX. Its skittering
breakbeats and industrial rock riffs would inform much of 1997 parent album, Earthling which
___6___ (remain) perhaps the most divisive of Bowie’s career.
Yet the godlike figure certainly appeared to recognise the magnitude of such a release tactic,
organising a ___7___ (promote) interactive event at a mystery New York location which cleverly
linked ___8___ with the song’s theme. Here, regular ___9___ (guitar) Reeves Gabrels and
Psychotica frontman (主唱) Patrick Briggs had to impersonate Bowie alongside the real thing for
a Q&A game which invited fans online to play detective. ___10___ (remark), despite answering
questions such as “What is in your wallet ” truthfully, the genuine article was deemed to be less
authentic than the two silhouetted and voice-disguised imposters!

Passage 07
It's a hazy summer day in southern England, not far from the medieval (中世纪) market town
of Arundel, and the Sussex countryside is dozing in the heat. In a pasture on a family farm a mile
___1___ so west of the town's historic castle, an international team of military veterans and
archaeologists from the University of York is ___2___ (method) sifting through mounds of soil
taken from a long, deep trench.
The site they are excavating is a surprisingly recent one, given Arundel's ancient past. It dates
from World War II, specifically the evening of June 22, 1944, ___3___ an American B-24
Liberator heavy bomber crashed in this field after sustaining severe damage in a daylight raid over
France. The dig is shedding light on ___4___ unsung (无名故事) - and as yet unfinished - tale of
courage, heroism, airmanship and, ultimately, loss.
___5___ the bomber's 10-man crew, seven were able to bail out as the stricken plane
approached the British coast: Bombardier, gunners, radio man, and ___6___ (navigate) all were
picked up safely, ___7___ (bob) in the waters of the English Channel or washed up on the beach.
The cockpit crew, however, remained in the plane, struggling to keep the aircraft ___8___ (stay)
and aloft (在飞行) so their crewmates could exit. The pilot, co-pilot, and flight engineer all
perished when the plane slammed to earth in a fireball moments after the others bailed out.
The body of the co-pilot, First Officer John Crowther, was thrown clear of the wreck. Found
and identified at the time, it was later repatriated to the U.S. ___9___ (bury) in Crowther's home
state of New York in 1946. The remains of the pilot, 2nd Lieutenant William Montgomery, and the
flight engineer, Technical Sergeant John Holoka, were never recovered. The men ___10___ (list)
as missing in action ever since.
Passage 08
When Janice Prejean was growing up, ___1___ she wanted to speak with her grandparents,
she had to do it in French. ___2___ (crack) the code of the private conversations and jokes that
flew over the heads of children at family gatherings, she also needed to know the language.
“My lifestyle as a child and a young adult ___3___ (immerse) in moving between the Cajun
(卡津) world and les Americains,” she says.
Prejean, who was raised in Ossun, a tiny, ___4___ (incorporate) community in southwest
Louisiana, is 64 now. Her story is an echo of the thousands of people in the region with
Francophone ancestry. What makes her version a little different, however, is that she learned the
language. Many people her age never did. French was a source of shame - Cajuns were often
labeled stupid and backward—and parents wanted to shield their children ___5___ prejudice.
That started to change during the latter half of the 20th century with the launch of efforts to
improve the understanding of Cajun heritage - not to mention attract tourism. Programs ___6___
(pop) up to turn the tide on the diminishing use of the French language, including ___7___
(establish) immersion programs in schools and flying in teachers from other Francophone nations.
___8___ a generational divide remains. The dialect of ___9___ (age) grandparents and
great-grandparents often doesn’t translate to the “standard” French that elementary- and
high-school-age children are learning. To bridge that gap, locals established a new French
language and literacy school for adults in the tiny town of Arnaudville, which sits at the
intersection of two bayous (河口) and two Louisiana parishes (教学区) and has become the
unlikely hub for the French ___10___ (revive).

Topic 5: Nature and Environment
Passage 09
California's Caldor Fire ripped its way across the Tahoe Basin this week, forcing thousands to
evacuate, burning homes and communities in its path, and staining Lake Tahoe's iconic blue
waters with ___1___ (fall) ash.
The fire, like many others burning across the U.S. West this year, spread rapidly in part
___2___ it's burning intensely, propelled by hot, dry, windy weather conditions and forests
overpacked with trees - food for hungry fire.
But it has also run up against some ___3___ (area) that have been “treated” to reduce their
fire risk, patches of forest - some big, some not so big - that have been trimmed in the past,
___4___ by hand with chainsaws and masticators (电锯和割碎机) or with carefully managed
prescribed fire. These ___5___ (treat) are intended to make forests healthier and more resilient
___6___ all kinds of pressures, including fire.
In the fires burning across California this year, and in other major recent fires, experts say
these efforts may have done their job - which is not to stop the fires but to lower their intensity
enough that they can ___7___ (control).
The efforts serve many purposes, but one crucial role is that “they're meant to give
firefighters an opportunity ___8___ (defend) life and property,” says Kelly Martin, the former
chief of fire for Yosemite National Park. “Now what we ___9___ (see) is, we have several
hundred-thousand-acre fires bearing down on these communities - for ___10___ it's worth, they've
done their job.”
Passage 10
After pummeling Louisiana on Sunday as a Category 4 storm, Hurricane Ida ___1___ (spin)
its way through Alabama and Tennessee toward the East Coast, where it is forecast to spread yet
more severe weather in the form of rain and tornado-generating winds.
While the exact future of rapid intensification remains ___2___ investigation, scientists can
confidently say warmer temperatures will make hurricanes rainier and slower ___3___ (move).
In addition, Louisiana’s topography played a role in Ida’s sluggish (缓慢的) movement.
Storms rely on warm ocean water as fuel, and when the hurricane made landfall in Port Fourchon,
the marshes and swamps continued to feed ___4___ energy. Those same wetlands, however, also
help absorb one of the deadliest impacts of hurricanes - walls of water surging in from the sea.
Hurricane Ida was forecast to produce a surge as high as 16 feet, but early ___5___ (report)
indicate the surge was half that. Forecasters ___6___ (intent) warn about worst-case scenarios to
encourage those in harm’s way to evacuate.
As Hurricane Ida crawled over land at a slow pace, it dumped enough rain to cause levee
failures in Plaquemines Parish and flooding in low-lying areas south of New Orleans. Part of that
flooding ___7___ (bring) on by a storm surge high enough to inundate coastal towns. And because
Louisiana loses its wetlands at the rate of a football field every hour, it will increasingly lose
___8___ (protect) against surging ocean waters.
As climate change makes storms more extreme, it means coastal communities will have to
adapt to ___9___ (dangerous) weather. “The takeaway has got to be that if you’re relying on plans,
___10___ they be evacuation plans or infrastructure (基础建设) or design, and it’s not based on
what I would call the new normal - that climate change has altered the frequency and intensity of
extreme events - then it’s time to update them,” says Northwestern’s Horton.

Topic 6: Science and Technology
Passage 11
In a preprint paper led by Brehm, available on Research Square and submitted to Nature
Communications, scientists reveal the possible discovery of two ___1___ (fright) strong solar
events. One occurred in 7176 B.C., as nomadic hunter-gatherer societies gave way to agrarian
settlements, and the other did so in 5259 B.C., as the planet emerged from the final throes of its
___2___ (late) ice age. Both events are thought to be at least as strong as the one in A.D. 775,
making the trio (三重事件) possibly the strongest known solar flares ___3___ record. For the past
decade, scientists have been on the hunt for additional extreme events like that eighth century one.
___4___ (look) so far back in time, researchers rely on chemical analyses of samples from
polar ice caps, as well as from ancient trees preserved in waterlogged bogs (浸满水的沼泽) or
high on mountaintops. ___5___ solar particles hit our atmosphere, they can produce unstable
radioactive forms of various elements that accumulate in such places. In the case of carbon, the
solar activity can form carbon 14, which is absorbed by tree rings as they grow. ___6___ each ring
corresponds to a single year of growth, this gives an incredibly precise date of any spikes caused
by increased solar activity: the more carbon 14 there is in one, the more solar particles ___7___
(hit) our atmosphere at a given time.
___8___ (take) together, these methods can provide a very precise account of historical
events. We have tree ring data for most of the Holocene - ___9___ (we) current geologic epoch,
which began about 12,000 years ago. Poring through them for events such as carbon 14 spikes is
time-consuming, however. Looking at just a single year typically requires weeks of analyzing and
cross-correlating multiple tree-ring samples. “There's 12,000 years of the Holocene to do, and we
___10___ (do) 16 percent of it,” says Alexandra Bayliss, head of scientific dating at Historic
England and a co-author on the paper. “It's a matter of time and money.”
Passage 12
What ___1___ your smartphone or laptop started charging as soon as you walked in the door
Researchers ___2___ (develop) a specially built room that can transmit energy to a variety of
electronic devices within it, charging phones and powering home appliances ___3___ plugs or
batteries.
This system “enables safe and high-power wireless power transfer in large volumes,” says
Takuya Sasatani, a project assistant professor at the University of Tokyo’s Graduate School of
Engineering and lead author of ___4___ new study, which was published this week in Nature
Electronics. The room relies on the same phenomenon as short-range wireless phone chargers: a
metal coil, placed in a magnetic field, ___5___ (produce) an electric current.
Existing commercial charging docks use electricity from a wall outlet to produce a magnetic
field in a small area. Most recent smartphones ___6___ (equip) with a metal coil, and when such a
model is placed on the dock, the ___7___ (interact) generates enough current to power the phone’s
battery. But today’s commercial products have a very limited range. If you lift a phone off the
dock or swathe (包裹) it in a case that is too thick, the wireless power transfer ceases. But if a
magnetic field filled a whole room, any phone within it would have access to wireless power.
“The prospect of having a room ___8___ a variety of devices could just receive power
anywhere is really compelling and exciting,” ___9___ (say) Joshua Smith, a professor of
computer science and electrical ___10___ (engineer) at the University of Washington, who was
not involved in the new study. “And this paper takes another step toward making that possible.”

Topic 7: Economics and Finance
Passage 13
___1___ internet technology expanding every day, it is hard to keep up with the innovative
software that keeps popping up on a regular basis. ___2___ Bitcoin was first introduced in 2009; it
is still a relatively new player in the online payment system. What makes this internet payment
network so special is its ___3___ (unique). It makes it possible to transfer Bitcoin currency from
one peer to another quickly and effectively. The processing fees are very low and you can make
worldwide payments in minutes.
Bitcoin is a digital currency that is bought, sold and transferred between fellow ___4___ (use)
of the same payment network. The process begins when the prospective member downloads the
software to their computer or phone. Once you ___5___ (complete) this process you will receive a
Bitcoin address. The address is used to send you payments for goods or services rendered. This
currency can also ___6___ (buy) on a market exchange. You can sell your bitcoins at this
exchange as well. The unique thing about this payment network is that the currency is
decentralized (分散的). It is not owned or controlled by any bank or ___7___ (finance) institution.
It is not insured by the FDIC. It is open to anyone that wants to become a member. More and more
merchants ___8___ (accept) this digital currency for their goods or services. There is no risk and
the encryption process is very effective.
The following shows how the bitcoin works. You install a wallet on your computer or phone.
You receive your new IP address. Then you begin accumulating bitcoins through purchase or
transactions (交易). All transactions on the payment network are stored in a Block Chain, which is
nothing more than a ___9___ (share) public ledger. Bitcoins are transferred instantly and is
verified mathematically by the network. Currency is transferred from one wallet to another quickly,
safely, and securely. The Bitcoin mining (挖掘) process is ___10___ the transactions are
constantly stored in the block chain and then verified by the computer.
Passage 14
Apps like RobinHood Trading has made it easier than ever to access stock market trading. By
being a technology driven brokerage (经纪公司) they are able to operate with ___1___
(substantiate) less overheads seeing a significant reduction in fees. These fees often make casual
traders ___2___ (turn) off the idea of the stock market, as low amounts they want to invest will
not be worthwhile after paying the various fees to most companies. This ___3___ (see) a new type
of trader, with a ___4___ (low) amount of wealth be able to effectively utilize (利用) the markets.
Additionally ___5___ it is an app that is available on smartphones, it allows people to trade
anytime and anywhere. This means people are a lot ___6___ (little) restricted in trading, and may
encourage more people to trade as it is much easier than ever. Also there are several different types
of software and websites that offers free trading. This is simpler than ever to use and can easily
help you track investments and give you a good immersive experience ___7___ risking your own
money.
