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、city
B、district
C、community
D、continent
答案
D
解析
篇章题。上下文理解题。句首的Africa与句末的from East to West(注意East和West为大写)为重要线索,句意为“这些贝壳在非洲(大陆),由东部至西部,都被人们用来交换物品”。continent意为“大陆”,正符题意,为正确答案。city“城市”,一般指大于town的重要城市。district表示“地区,区域”,指有显著特征的地区、地方或地段,如:They’ll go to the lake district for their vacation.他们要去湖区度假。/a shopping district商业区。community意为“社区”。指住在相同地区和隶属相同政府下的一群人所居住的区域,如:community facilities公共设施。可见,这几个选项都与上下文不符。
