Ⅰ.阅读理解【主题：人与社会　手机支付】
I can't remember the last time I used cash in China. We pay for everything with our mobile phones. When I went back home to the UK for a holiday, I had some culture shock in my own country. Suddenly, I couldn't use my phone to pay for things. I took out my wallet and went back to using notes and coins.
Of course, we can pay for things electronically in the UK. People use their bank cards. Some use Google Pay on their phones or watches. But most people still use cash. And many are wary of putting too much trust in going electronic with payments.
My parents are two of these wary people. They believe that using electronic payments could lead to their whole savings being stolen by online criminals. The concern is understandable. In 2022, more than 4 billion was stolen by fraudsters(诈骗犯) and cybercriminals(网络罪犯) in the UK. In its 2022 fraud and cybercrime report, the online financial(金融的) service comparison website money.co.uk reported a 63 percent increase in fraud and cybercrime from 2021. Online buying was the biggest source of the thefts, said Computer Weekly.
So, the dangers are real. But still, it seems that mobile or at least digital payments will lead the way in the future in the UK, just as it is here now in China. According to the gov.uk website, the Bank of England is now looking at using a digital pound.
But the real question is: Will the British public trust it

A．Because all the people still use cash to buy things.
B．Because people have to bring a bank card in their wallet.
C．Because he can't pay for things with his phone.
D．Because most people like to use coins more than notes.
(　　)2.What may the underlined word “wary” mean in Paragraph 2
A．Aware. B．Careful. C．Sure. D．Proud.
(　　)3.What's the main concern of many British people about using electronic payments
A．Forgetting their passwords often. B．Losing their savings to online thieves.
C．Paying extra money for this service. D．Having to keep a network connection.
(　　)4.What does the author think of the Bank of England's idea of “a digital pound”？
A．It will soon become popular.
B．It is what people are hoping for.
C．It is risky and not practical.
D．It is uncertain whether people will want to use it.
