It's not so long ago that contactless card payments were exciting and new, but the technology is already old - hat. The new, better way to pay for things in shops? By using your phone to make a contactless payment.
Because traditionally, when you have paid with a card tap(轻敲) or using a chip and pin machine, ultimately the shop you are buying from will be noting down all of your card details. 16 And this could be a problem—it means that if the shop is hacked(侵入), or plays fast and loose with its data, you could find your card number exposed to the world.
However, when you tap to pay with your device, it generates a unique ID number for that deal and sends that instead. So you can pay for your goods and the shop can get your money. 17 That is to say, phone payments are smarter.
18 If a pickpocket steals your card they can immediately use up the money. But if they get your phone, when the phone goes to pay it will typically perform a biometric check—it will ask for a finger - print or use the camera to look at your face, to check that you are who you say you are.
19 Because of this added security, the limit(限额) is typically higher than for contactless cards. In the UK, it's around ￡100 for most retailers—though some shops including most supermarkets let you spend much more with just a tap of the phone.
Want to give it a try? To actually set things up, go to your Wallet App and follow the instructions. 20 Then it will automatically recognise the numbers and connect with your bank. Usually you receive a text message with a special code on it. And then, well, you're done.
When you pay, hold your phone over the payment machine, and pay for your goods!
A. It helps to build the client list.
B. The set up process varies with banks.
C. No one needs to share any sensitive data.
D. It's also more effective against the threat of thefts.
E. And phone payments are increasingly convenient too.
F. Typically this starts by scanning your card with your phone.
G. Therefore, it knows which bank account to take the money from.

答案： 16.G 过渡句 【解析】空格前讲当你刷卡或用刷卡机付款时，最终你购买物品的商店会记下你银行卡的所有信息。G项“因此，它知道从哪个银行账户刷钱”与上文衔接紧密，构成因果关系，符合语境。故选G。
17.C 过渡句 【解析】空格前讲当你用设备点击支付时，它会为这笔交易生成唯一的ID号并发送给你。这样的话，你可以为商品付款，商店也可以收到钱。C项“没人需要分享任何敏感数据”与上文衔接紧密，符合语境。故选C。
18.D 段首主旨句 【解析】空格后讲如果扒手偷了你的卡，他们可以立即花光所有钱。但如果他们拿到了你的手机，在手机将要付款时，它通常会进行生物识别检查，要求你提供指纹或使用摄像头查看你的脸，以检查你是否就是你所说的那个人。D项“它也能更有效地抵御盗窃威胁”能概括全段大意，符合语境。故选D。
19.E 段首主旨句 【解析】空格后讲由于安全性的增加，手机支付限额通常高于非接触式卡片。在英国，对于大多数零售商来说，限额大约是100英镑——尽管，包括大多数超市的一些商店只需点击一下手机，就能让你花更多的钱。E项“而且手机支付也越来越方便”引出下文，符合语境。故选E。
20.F 过渡句 【解析】空格后讲然后，它会自动识别号码并与你的开户行连接。F项“这通常是从用手机扫描银行卡开始的”与下文衔接紧密，符合语境。故选F。
