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、replaced
B、reproduced
C、reflected
D、recovered
答案
A
解析
词汇题。词义辨析题。从句子后半部分可以看出这些钱币如今的使用情况,它们只在很少(one or two)并且偏远的国家(re-mote countries)使用,而且使用场合也非常有限(on ceremonial…)由此可以推断出这些钱币已被硬币和纸币所取代的事实;另外,根据常识,硬币与纸币为今天的主要流通货币,而其他各种货币已相当罕见,综上所述,可断定选项为replace。replace意为“取代”,如:We’ll replace coal with gas soon.我们很快就会用煤气代替煤作燃料。此处意为“硬币和纸币取代了这些货币”,符合题意,为正确答案。reproduce意为“再生产”,如:It’s not an animal which can reproduce a lost part of its body.这不是那种能再生身体上失去的某一部分的动物。reflect意为“反射,反映”,如:Baseball reflects America’s history.棒球反映出美国的历史。recover意为“恢复”,如:He recovered himself after a slip on the ice.在冰上滑了一下后他马上又站稳了。可见,这些选项均不符题意。
