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.
【C18】
选项
A、whole
B、although
C、because
D、if
答案
B
解析
篇章题。上下文理解题。although表示“虽然”,引出句末的从句,用以补充信息。但要注意,although和while都可以引导让步状语从句,但although引导的从句和主句所表达的信息相关,修饰说明主句所表达的信息。本句大意“虽然这些钱币在某些场合还在使用,但不久就只能在博物馆才能看到”。可见,although符合题意,为正确答案。while则表示主从句内容相反或用于反映其对比的情况,如:Some people like coffee,while others like tea.有些人喜欢咖啡,而有些人喜欢茶。此处没有暗含相反或对比之意。because表示原因。if表示假设。此处均无此含义。
