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、original
B、primitive
C、historical
D、crude
答案
B
解析
词汇题。词义辨析题。primitive意为“原始的,早期的,远古的”,如:primitive art早期艺术。原句的含义为“在博物馆中将很快看到早期的货币”,因此,此选项符合题意,为正确答案。original意为“起初的,原来的、原先的”,如:The original plans were changed.原来的计划被改变了。但整篇文章并没有“原来的或原先的钱币”之意,因此,不符题意。historical意为“历史的,属于或有关历史的”,如:historical costumes古代服装。crude意为“天然的,粗糙的,未经加工状态的”,如:the crude life of our savage ancestors未开化祖先的原始生活。此处没有涉及钱币的外在特点,故也不符合题意。
