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、processed
B、produced
C、preceded
D、proceeded
答案
C
解析
词汇题。词义辨析题。观察本句句子结构,可以看出句子缺少谓语成分。选项processed意为“加工”,若单独考虑process coin搭配,看似合理,但注意其为主动语态,含义为“金属加工硬币”,即金属成为施事者,这显然不符合句意。选项produced表示“生产”,同上,意为“由金属来生产硬币”。选项proceeded表示“继续进行,依次进行下去”,为不及物动词,后面不能直接跟宾语,如:Business proceeded as usual.生意像往常一样进行着。选项preceded表示“先于(发生)”,说明硬币之前已有其他形式的金属货币,而下一句交待了金属货币的各种形状lumps,bars or rings,说明这里的金属货币与硬币是指两种不同的货币,而金属作为货币早于硬币出现。此意与题意相符,为正确答案。
