Answer 1

答案：1．B;2．C;3．A;4．D;
解析：

(1)	事实归纳题。由第二段内容“招商银行发行的是双币信用卡；上海浦东发展银行发行的是白金信用卡；中国工商银行发行的是联名信用卡；花旗银行与上海浦东发展银行有合作关系。”可知B项正确。
(2)	数字计算题。根据第三段内容“目前，我国信用卡的流通卡数大约为3000万张，2007年我国的信用卡流通卡数预计将翻一番。”短文中double一词很关键。
(3)	推测题。根据最后一段第一句意义：大多数银行在信用卡业务上都是亏本运作，因为很大一部分信用卡被发行之后根本没被使用。由此推测，使用的人越多，银行就越赚钱。
(4)	细节题。根据第一段最后一句“中国信用卡门户网站“我爱卡”和上海51poll．com调查公司开展了一项为期三个月的互联网和电话调查”可排除A项；第三段提到了“中国人收入的不断提高是信用卡业发展的一大动力。”并没有提到“吸引更多的外资”，可排除B项；短文最后一段提到“招行是国内目前唯一一个能在信用卡业务上赚得利润的银行。”由此可排除C项。再根据近年来持卡人数目的不断攀升可知D项正确。
