II. Grammar and Vocabulary
Section A
Directions:
After
reading
the
passage below,
fill
in
the
blanks
to
make
the passage
coherent and
grammatically
correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other
blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.
The wallet is heading for extinction. As a day-to-day essential, it will die off with the generation who read
print newspapers. The kind of shopping --- _____21_____ you hand over notes and count out change in return ---
now happens only in the most minor of our retail encounters, like buying a bar of chocolate or a pint of milk from a
corner
shop.
At
the
shops
where
you
spend
any
real
money,
that
money
is
getting
increasingly
_____22_____
(abstract). And this is more and more true, the _____23_____ (high) up the scale you go. At the most cutting- edge
retail stores, Victoria Beckham on Dover Street, for instance, you don't go and stand at any kind of cash register
when you decide to pay. The staff are equipped with iPads _____24_____ (take) your payment while you relax on a
sofa.
Which is nothing more or less than excellent service, if you have the money. But across society, the abstraction
of the idea of cash makes me uneasy. Maybe I'm just old- fashioned, _____25_____ earning money isn't quick or
easy for most of us. Isn't it a bit weird that spending it _____26_____ happen in a blink of an eye? Doesn't a wallet
--- that time-honored Friday-night feeling of pleasing, promising fatness --- represent something that matters?
But
I'll
leave
the
economics
to
the
experts.
_____27_____
bothers
me
about
the
death
of
the
wallet
is
the
change it represents in our physical environment. Everything about the look and feel of a wallet --- the way the
fastenings
and
materials
wear
and
tear
and
loosen
with
age,
the
plastic
and
paper
and
gold
and
silver,
and
handwritten phone numbers and printed cinema tickets --- _____28_____ (become) the very opposite of what our
world is becoming. The opposite of a wallet is a smartphone or an iPad. The rounded edges, cool glass, smooth and
unknowable as a pebble. _____29_____
__________ digging through pieces of paper and peering into corners,
we move our fingers left and right. No more _____30_____ (count) out coins. Show your wallet, if you still have
one. It may not be here much longer.

collectively or owned by the State.

(A)
On
my
arrival

America,
the
one
thing
I
notice

the

show me how to do it.
