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.
【C1】
选项
A、object
B、article
C、substance
D、category
答案
C
解析
词汇题。词义辨析题。substance“物质”,指特定种类或具有特定成分的材料,与外在形态无关.如:a mineral substance一种矿物。本文上句讲到salt,shells or metals用作钱币,salt在这里是作为一种不同物质区别于其他两者的,跟它的具体形态没有关系,因此选择substance。object“物体,实物”,指用一种或多种感官,尤其用视觉或触觉可以感觉到的东西,如:unidentified flying object(UFO)不明飞行物(或飞碟)。article“一件具体的物品或物件(尤指一套中的一件)”,如:articles of daily use日用品。category“种类,类别”,如:category of trains列车种类。可见,这几个选项均不符题意。
