has become; Actually; it; higher; are charged; which; to pay; the; services; for
解析：
电子支付越来越流行,但是不同的人对电子支付持有不同的态度。
1. has become考查动词时态及主谓一致,设空处是句子的谓语动词, 根据时间状语so far可知要用现在完成时,主语是不可数名词 payment,所以答案为 has become。
2. Actually考杏副词此处用副词actually修饰整个句子,意为“实际上”。
3.it考査固定句式。It seems that...看起来……。
4.higher考查形容词比较级根据语境和设空处后的than可知此处用形容词的比较级.
5. are charged考查动词时态和语态及主谓一致。设空处是when引导的时间状语从句的谓语动词,设空处动作与该从句的主语they之间是被动关系,且时态为一般现在时,所以答案为are charged:
6. which考查定语从句。设空处引导非限制性定语从句:根据语境可知, 该从句修饰前面整个主句,从句中缺少主语,所以要用关系代词which。
7. to pay考查非谓语动词。be likely to do sth.有可能做某事。
8. the考査固定搭配。on the whole意为“大体上”。
9. services考查名词。设空处作offer的宾语,所以要用名词形式。 service作“(为顾客提供的)服务”讲时是可数名词,其前没有冠词等修饰,故用复数形式。
10. for考查介词。provide sth. for sb.为某人提供某物。
