【解析】

本文向我们介绍了亚马逊新开发的支付系统，可以通过扫描手进行支付。

【1】

句意：有没有可能通过扫描我们身体的其他部位来支付呢？

possible可能的；important重要的；strange奇怪的。分析上下文可知，此处表示目前人们可以通过面部识别技术进行支付，那么扫描其他部位可不可能进行支付呢？强调“可能的”，故选A。

【2】

句意：亚马逊有一项扫描人手的新技术。

eyes眼睛；faces面部；hands手。根据后文“The technology can tell if the person is the right one by scanning his or her hand.”可知，是通过扫描手部进行识别的。故选C。

【3】

句意：人们只需在机器下面扫描自己的手就可以支付。

usually通常；simply简单地；really真地。分析句子可知，此处表示“人们只需在机器下面扫描自己的手就可以支付”的含义，强调方式简单，其他两项语意不通。故选B。

【4】

句意：它很方便，尤其是对老年人来说。

old年老的；poor贫穷的；smart聪明的。根据前文“Their hand scan is connected to their bank cards, so they can pay successfully.”可知，他们的手扫描与他们的银行卡相连，所以他们可以成功支付，方式非常简单，所以适合老人使用，其他两项不符合语境。故选A。

【5】

句意：有了这项新技术，人们就不需要随身携带信用卡了。

mustn't禁止；can't不能；needn't不需要。分析上下文可知，这项技术只需扫描手即可完成支付，所以很方便，不需要随身携带信用卡了，此处强调必要性。故选C。
