问题    Today anyone will accept money in exchange for goods and services. People use money to buy food, furniture, books, bicycles and hundreds of others they need or want. When they work, they usually get paid in money.
   Most of the money today is made of metal or paper. But people used to use all kinds of things as money. One of the first kinds of money was shells.
   Shells were not the only things used as money. In China, cloth and knives were used. In the Philippine Islands, rice was used as money. In some parts of Africa, cattle were one of the earliest kinds of money. Other animals were used as money, too.
   The first metal coins were made in China. They were round and had a square hole in the center. People strung them together and carried them from place to place.
   Different countries have used different metals and designs for their money. The first coins in England were made of tin. Sweden and Russia used copper to make their money. Later, other countries began to make coins of gold and silver.
   But even gold and silver were inconvenient if you had to buy something expensive. Again the Chinese thought of a way to improve money. They began to use paper money. The first paper money looked more like a note from one person to another than paper money used today.
   Money has had an interesting history from the days of shell money until today. [br] What’ s the best title for this passage?
选项 A、Money and Its Uses
B、Different Things Used as Money
C、Different Countries, Different Money
D、The History of Money
答案 D
解析 主旨题。文章中money一词贯穿整篇文章，而且文章中的最后一段点题：从贝壳货币时代至今，货币经历了一段非常有趣的演变史，选项D(货币的历史)符合题意。选项A(货币及其使用)、选项B(被用作钱的不同东西)和选项C(不同的国家，不同的货币)都是文章内容的一部分，不是文章主旨。故本题选D。
