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.

选项
A、sizes
B、shapes
C、formats
D、forms
答案
D
解析
篇章题。上下文理解题。根据文章主要内容,本文介绍了不同种类的货币,硬币和纸币是货币的两种不同表现形式,它们所取代的也是其他不同形式的货币,因此,form“形式”,为本题选项。form意指“某物存在、运作、显现的方式,种类,形式”,如:The essay is a literary form.散文是一种文学体裁。/a form of animal life动物的生活方式。size意为“大小,尺寸”。shape指“外表形状”,如:a god in the shape of a swan化身为天鹅的神。format指“格式,开本”,如:card format卡片形式。可见,这些选项均不符合题意。
