Salt, shells or metals are still used as money in out-of-the-way parts of the world today. Salt may seem rather a strange【C1】______to use as money, 【C2】______in countries where the food of the people is mainly vegetable, it is often an【C3】______necessity. Cakes of salt, stamped to show their【C4】______, were used as money in some countries until recent【C5】______, and cakes of salt【C6】______buy goods in Borneo and parts of Africa.
Sea shells【C7】______as money at some time【C8】______another over the greater part of the Old World. These were【C9】______mainly from the beaches of the Maldives Islands in the Indian Ocean, and were traded to India and China. In Africa, shells were traded right across the【C10】______from East to West.
Metal, valued by weight, 【C11】______coins in many parts of the world. Iron, in lumps, bars or rings, is still used in many countries【C12】______paper money. It can either be exchanged【C13】______goods, or made into tools, weapons, or ornaments. The early money of China, apart from shells, was of bronze, 【C14】______in flat, round pieces with a hole in the middle, called "cash". The【C15】______of these are between three thousand and four thousand years old — older than the earliest coins of the eastern Mediterranean.
Nowadays, coins and notes have【C16】______nearly all the more picturesque【C17】______of money , and【C18】______in one or two of the more remote countries people still keep it for future use on ceremonial【C19】______such as weddings and funerals, examples of【C20】______money will soon be found only in museum.
【C15】
选项
A、earlier
B、earliest
C、better
D、best
答案
B
解析
篇章题。上下文理解题。此句的句子结构为:...are older than…,只有相同本质的东西才能相互比较,根据句子后半句用于比较的the earliest coins可判断出此处比较两种最早期的钱币,因此,选项earliest与之正相对应;这也和本段句首preceded coins(先于硬币)的含义相符。earlier“较早”,如把一种较早期的钱币与另一种最早期的钱币相比,不具可比性,也不符合情理。better“更好”,best“最好”,二者均指质量好坏,与后半句的关于时间早晚问题的the earliest coins也不相对应,不能用来作时间上(older)的比较。
