问题     One hundred and thirteen million Americans have at least one bank-issued credit card. They give their owners automatic credit on stores, restaurants, and hotels, at home, across the country, and even abroad, and they make many banking services available as well. More and more of these credit cards can be read automatically, making it possible to withdraw or deposit money in scattered locations, whether or not the local branch bank is open. For many of us the "cashless society" is not on the horizon—it’s already here.
    While computers offer these conveniences to consumers, they have many advantages for sellers too. Electronic cash registers can do much more than simply ring up sales. They can keep a wide range of records, including who sold what, when, and to whom. This information allows businessmen to keep track of their list of goods by showing which items are being sold and how fast they are moving. Decisions to record or return goods to suppliers can then be made. At the same time these computers record which hours are busiest and which employees are the most efficient, allowing personnel and staffing assignments to be made accordingly. And they also identify preferred customers for promotional campaigns. Computers are relied on by manufacturers for similar reasons. Computer analyzed marketing reports can help to decide which products to emphasize now, which to develop for the future, and which to drop. Computers keep track of goods in stock, of raw materials on hand, and even of the production process itself.
    Numerous other commercial enterprises, from theaters to magazine publishers, from gas and electric utilities to milk processors, bring better and more efficient services to consumers through the use of computer.  [br] According to the passage, the credit card enables its owner to______.
选项 A、withdraw as much money from the bank as he wishes
B、obtain more convenient services than other people do
C、enjoy greater trust from the storekeeper
D、cash money wherever he wishes to
答案 B
解析 本题是一道具体细节题。问信用卡可以使其拥有者做什么。利用查阅式阅读法，我们可以在文章的第一段中找到相关信息。第一段利用一系列的实例说明了信用卡给其使用者带来的诸多方便，第二段第一句的前半句也总结概括了第一段的段落大意。因此，本题的正确答案应是B“可以为其带来更多的、别的人享受不到的便利”。
