53、made round coins out of metal.4._By 500 BC,metal coins had begun to appear in countries like Persia and Greece,and later in the Roman Empire.About 1,000 years later,leather was used as money in China,and in 806 AD,the first paper banknotes were produced by the Chinese people.5._APeople also began co

55、 example,buying a chicken might cost several potatoes.GThe very first coins often had holes in them so that people could string them together.【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要按照时间顺序讲述了中国和世界上其他国家货币发展的历史。1F解析:根据空前的“people used many different kinds of things for buying and selling”及空后的“This exchange of goods and servi
56、ces for other goods and services is called bartering.”可知,此处主要讲的是“物物交换”,F项中的“buying a chicken might cost several potatoes”是“物物交换”的一个例子,符合上下文文意,故选F项。2B解析:本文第一段讲的是“物物交换”;根据空后的“In 1200 BC,people in China began to use shells(贝壳) as money.Usually the shells used as money were very small.”可知,第二段讲的是“贝壳作为货币使
57、用”,故此空的作用是承上启下。B项中的“such exchanges”与第一段最后一句中的“This exchange”相呼应,且B项中的“However”以及“impractical”表明“物物交换”有局限性,所以出现了更加方便携带的贝壳货币,符合上下文文意,故选B项。3D解析:根据第二段内容及空前的“many other countries around the world began to do the same”可知,许多其他国家也开始这样做了。“to do the same”指的就是“也开始用贝壳作为买卖的货币”,故D项“他们也使用小贝壳作为货币进行买卖”符合上下文文意,故选D项。4
58、G解析:根据空前的“It wasnt long before the Chinese made round coins out of metal.”可知,中国出现了金属制成的圆形钱币;根据空后的“By 500 BC,metal coins had begun to appear in countries like Persia and Greece,and later in the Roman Empire.”可知,到公元前500年这种金属钱币开始在其他国家出现。故空处应是解释这种金属钱币在其他国家出现的原因。故选G项“这种首次出现的钱币上通常有孔以便人们把它们串起来”。5C解析:根据空前的“
59、the first paper banknotes were produced by the Chinese people”可知,此处讲到了纸币首先由中国人创造,故C项“很多年后纸币才出现在欧洲”与此处衔接紧密,故选C项。 短文改错Dear Lucy,I am very excited to learn that youre coming to Xian for travel.
