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. [br] 【C6】
选项
A、even
B、also
C、still
D、never
答案
C
解析
篇章题。篇章结构题。前半句讲cakes of salt被用作货币,时态是过去时,后半句说的仍是同一主题,但时态为现在时,由此可以看出前后部分是一种时间顺延的关系。still可表示“一直延续到某个特定的时间点还没有结束”,因此,符合题意,为正确答案。never表示否定,和前面相反,意为“没有使用盐饼购买货物”,但衔接句子前后部分的连词为and,没有体现转折关系。even意为“甚至”,用其表示同样一件事“(甚至)盐饼用来购买货物”是不恰当的。also表示“也”,同样不能体现时间的顺延关系。
