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.

选项
A、times
B、events
C、situations
D、conditions
答案
A
解析
词汇题。词义辨析题。times(往往用作复数)表示“时代,历史时期”,如:hard times艰难时期。recent times意为“近些时候”,此处表示“直到最近,盐饼仍在某些国家作为货币使用”。可见,其意与本题相符,为正确答案。event意为“事件”,指具有重要意义的事件或事变,如:current events时事。situation意为“情形,状况”,如:The situation was complicated.形势非常复杂。condition意为“条件,环境”,如:Conditions in the office made concentration impossible.办公室的状况根本不可能使人专心工作。空格前的until表示此处指时间,而这三个选项均无此意,故与题意不符。
