选项 A、devices
B、instruments
C、readers
D、examiners
答案C
解析 本题考查名词词义的辨析。空格填入的名词与for IC cards搭配，与magnetic systems(磁系统)作比较。首先排除examiners(主考者，检查人)，因为人和系统之间无法比较价格高低。devices(装置，设备)和instruments(-E具，手段)的用法为device/instrument for doing sth，如a device for opening bottles (一个打开瓶子的装置)；an Instrument for writing(书写工具)。所以readers正确，意为：IC卡或智能卡的读卡机。
