8.In modern society,people use money every day.It seems that it is very important in our life.That's because without money you can't buy any goods(商品) you want.But I think few people know the history of money.Long ago,people did not need money.They lived on wild animals,fruits and other plants.As time passed,people learned to raise animals and crops.Sometimes,families produced more than they needed,so they started to trade with other families.Later,people began to use money as a means of exchange.However,it was not the kind of money we use today.They used shells,rice,salt,large stones,etc.
During the 600s BC,people began using coins as money.They soon found that coins were easier to carry than goods and lasted a long time.Later,countries began to make their own coins.
The Chinese were the first to use paper money,probably as early as the 11th century.The Italian traveler Marco Polo saw the Chinese using money when he visited China in the 1200s.However,European countries did not start using paper money until 1600s.
Today,we have many ways to pay for things.We do not use coins or paper money.Often,people prefer to pay for things by card.Paying with a card is easier and safer than carrying around a lot of"real"money.

分析 在现代社会,人们每天使用钱.看来,它在我们生活中非常重要.这是因为没有钱你不能买你想要的任何商品.但我认为很少有人知道钱的历史.
很久以前,人们不需要钱,他们以野生动物,水果和其他植物为生,随着时间的流逝,人们学会饲养动物和种植农作物.有时,家庭生产的超过他们需要的,所以他们开始与其他家庭做贸易.后来,人们开始用金钱作为交换手段.然而,它不是我们今天使用的金钱,他们使用贝壳,大米,盐,大石头等.
公元前600年期间,人们开始使用硬币作为货币.他们很快发现硬币比商品更容易携带,这持续了很长时间.后来,国家开始制定自己的硬币.
中国是最早使用纸币的国家,可能早在十一世纪.意大利旅行家马可波罗在13世纪他访问中国的时候看到中国使用纸币,然而,欧洲国家直到17世纪才开始使用纸币.
今天,我们有很多方法来支付东西,我们不使用硬币或纸币,人们通常更愿意用信用卡支付,而用一张卡片支付要比随身携带大量的现金更容易,更安全.
解答 59.C 细节理解题.根据During the 600s BC,people began using coins as money.可知,在公元7世纪,人们开始用硬币当钱用.而题目中说在公元七世纪之前人们用什么作为交换的手段,联系上文可以知道在纸币出现之前,根据句子They used shells,rice,salt,large stones,etc.可知应选在此范围之内的large stone,其他选项都不在七世纪之前这个时间范围内,故选C.
60.D 细节理解题.根据However,European countries did not start using paper money until 1600s.可知,欧洲国家直到17th century才开始用纸币.故选D.
61.B 推理判断题.根据The Italian traveler Marco Polo saw the Chinese using money…可知,马可波罗是意大利旅行家,所以A错;根据The Italian traveler Marco Polo saw the Chinese using money when he visited China in the 1200s.和However,European countries did not start using paper money until 1600s.可知,意大利旅行家在13th世纪来访中国时看到中国人在用纸币,而欧洲直到17世纪才开始使用纸币,故判断中国使用纸币比意大利早是正确的,所以B对;根据people prefer to pay for things by card.可知现代的人更喜欢用信用卡支付,所以C错;根据Paying with a card is easier and safer than carrying around a lot of"real"money可知,现代信用卡比大量的真钱更安全和容易,所以D错.本题要求选出正确的陈述,故选B.
