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".

选项
A、events
B、gatherings
C、occasions
D、assemblies
答案
C
解析
词汇题。词义辨析题。occasion意为“场合”,on…occasion意为“在……场合”,固定搭配。此处表示“在礼仪性的场合”,因此,此选项符合题意,为正确答案。event意为“事件”,通常与介词in搭配,如:in that event在那种情况下。gathering和assembly都是“集合,集会”的意思,如:an in-formal gathering非正式的集会/prohibit un-lawful assembly禁止非法集会。
