20、ight cost several potatoes.GThe very first coins often had holes in them so that people could tie them together.【语篇解读】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根据空前句 “people used many different kinds of things for buying and selling”及空后句“This exchange of goods and services for other goods and services
21、 is called bartering.”可知,此处主要讲的是“物物交换”,F项中 “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。2E由前文可知,本文第一段讲的是“物物交换”;由空后句 可知,第二段讲的是“贝壳作为货币使用”,故此空的作用是承上启下。E项中的“such exchanges”与第一段句末的“this exchange”相呼应,选项中的however以及impractical表明物物交换有局限性,所以出现更加方便携带的贝壳货币,符合上下文文意,故选E项。3C根据空前句 “many o
22、ther 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“也开始用贝壳买卖”,故C项(他们也使用小贝壳作为货币买卖)符合上下文文意,故选C项。4G根据空前句 “It wasnt long before the Chinese made round coins out of metal.”可知,中国出现了金属的圆形钱币;根据空后句可知,到公元前500年这种金属钱币开始在其他国家出现。故G项(这种首次出现的钱币中经常有孔以便人们把它们串起来)符合上下文文意,故选G项。5D根据空前
23、句 “the first paper banknotes were produced by the Chinese people”可知,此处讲到了纸币的出现,故D项(很多年后纸币才出现在欧洲)符合上下文文意,故选D项。.语法填空If you live in the United States, the law says you cant have a fulltime job until you are 16 years old.At 14 or 15, you can work parttime after school or 1._ weekends, and during summer
