Answer 1

【答案】have been used；first；made；who；with；less；a；while；to produce；slowly
【解析】
⑴句意：紙幣，即一張張的紙做的錢，在英國已經使用超過300年了。for+時間段是現(xiàn)在完成時的標志，notes與use構成被動關系，故填have been used。
⑵句意：早在1988年塑料幣第一次被引進到澳大利亞。故填序數詞first。
⑶句意：自從那時起，別的國家，包括羅馬尼亞，墨西哥，馬來西亞，也已經開始使用用這種方式做的錢。句中已經有謂語have begun，故填過去分詞made作定語，修飾money。
⑷句意：對于那些誤把口袋里有鈔票的衣服放進洗衣機里的人也有益。第一空需要一個構成定語從句的關聯(lián)詞，故填who
⑸表示有鈔票在口袋里，故填with。
⑹句意：塑料幣比紙幣更衛(wèi)生，因為它吸收更少的細菌。本句暗含比較，故填less。
⑺句意：根據一項調查，一張普通的5元紙幣會用6個月。故填a。
⑻句意：然而5元的澳大利亞貨幣能用平均40個月。表示對比的轉折，故填while。
⑼句意：塑料現(xiàn)金的不好一面是它需要更多的錢制作。表示目的故填不定式to produce。
⑽句意：預計從2015年開始印刷這種塑料貨幣的英國銀行將慢慢引進這個貨幣。修飾introduce，故填副詞slowly。
