    答案：
   
    1. B
   
    解析：细节理解题。综合第三段最后一句And it gives you free access to your money from over 31,000 cash machines across the UK.和第五段第二句It can also give you access to your account and your cash from over 31,000 cash machines nationwide.可以得出正确答案。
   
    2. A
   
    解析：细节理解题。误选B项的同学没有看懂原文中的(up to ￡4)“上限4英镑”。
   
    3. B
   
    解析：细节理解题。根据…and enjoy up to 56 days’ interest-free credit.一句可知：可享有56天的免息使用，超出两个月自然要支付利息了。
   
    4.A
   
    解析：主旨概括题，整篇文章都是讲各种card的使用(这里的play=use，不要误解为打扑克牌)。
