第一节 完形填空（共15小题，每小题2分，满分30分）

Twenty years ago only a very small number of people had the skills or equipment to make fake (假的)money. Today computer, copier and printer technology is so __16__ that almost anyone can “make” money. With the new technology there is a new kind of casual faking machine. The number of bills made by casual fakers on their home or office computer is growing fast. In fact, this number has doubled every year since 1989! There is no way to __17__ faking completely.

If someone copies a bill that has microprints, the microprinted words on the bill will only be black lines.

第一节 阅读理解 (共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分)

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卷上将该项涂黑。
