分析 本文是一篇说明文,主要说明了货币形式发展的历史.在以蔬菜为主食的国家,盐完全是一个必需品,盐块上被打上烙印用来表示他们的价值.直到最近,一些国家还把用盐做成的盐块作为钱使用.海里的贝壳在东半球大部分地区的某段时间被当作钱来使用.在海边就可以捡到贝壳,数量积攒多了,就可以贩卖,制成钱币使用.由重量决定价值的金属先于世界上许多国家的硬币出现.做成小方块的、棍状的、环状的铁仍在许多国家代替钱在使用.中国最早的钱除了贝壳就是铜.硬币和纸币还是取代了原来那些钱币.
解答 21.B 考查名词辨析题.盐被当作钱来用可能看起来很奇怪.故选B.
22.C 考查疑问词辨析.但是在以蔬菜为主食的国家,它完全是一个必需品.此处为关系副词"where"引导的定语从句,先行词为"countries",定语从句中不缺少主、宾、表等主要成分,故选C.
23.A 考查名词辨析.在以蔬菜为主食的国家,盐完全是一个必需品.故选A.
24.D 考查名词辨析.这些盐块被打上烙印用来表示他们的价值.故选D.
25.C 考查名词辨析.直到最近,一些国家还把用盐做成的盐块作为钱使用."recent times"意为"最近",故选C.
26.A 考查副词辨析.前一句说"直到最近,一些国家还把用盐做成的盐块作为钱使用",本句紧接着提到"用盐做的盐块在婆罗州和非洲的部分地区可以买东西",这说明"盐做成的盐块作为钱使用"的情况仍然未变,故用still.even和also均表示递进,never表否定,故选A.
27.D 考查动词时态辨析.海里的贝壳在东半球大部分地区的某段时间被当作钱来使用.本句后面那句的时态是"过去时",大意是"这些贝壳主要来自…,然后被贩卖到印度和中国",因为"收集贝壳"和"贩卖贝壳"是在"被当作钱来使用"之前发生的事情,即过去的过去,用过去完成时,故选D.
28.B 考查连词辨析.海里的贝壳在东半球大部分地区的某个时间或另一个时间被当作钱来使用.故选B.
29.C 考查动词辨析.根据常识可知,在海边就可以捡到贝壳,数量积攒多了,就可以贩卖,制成钱币使用,"collect 收集故选C.
30.D 考查动词辨析.根据"and were traded to India and China"可知,在非洲,贝壳被从东非贩卖到西非.故选D.
31.B 考查名词辨析.由重量决定价值的金属先于世界上许多国家的硬币出现.故选B.
32.A 考查介词短语辨析.做成小方块的、棍状的、环状的铁仍在许多国家代替钱在使用.本题解题关键是still,该词表示"金属仍然作为货币在使用",那么自然就不需要使用纸币了,所以两者是二选一的关系,"instead of"意为"替代",符合语境;"in spite of"意为"不管,不顾";"along with"意为"随同…一起";"in line with"意为"符合,和…一致",故都不符合题意,故选A..
33.D 考查介词辨析.它可以换成货物,也可以做成工具、武器或装饰品."goods"是前面"be exchanged"的目的,故选择"for".故选D.
34.C 考查副词辨析.中国最早的钱除了贝壳就是铜,铜通常被做成中间有一个洞的乎的圆片,称为"现钱".本句解释中国早期货币"铜钱"的样子,铜钱通常是圆心有孔的,因此选择"often",故选C.
35.A 考查形容词比较级辨析.这些最早的钱是在3 000年到4 000年前--早于东地中海最早的钱币.本句后面出现了"the earliest coins of the eastern Mediterranean",显然这里是将中国最早的钱币和东地中海最早的钱币进行对比,是平行结构,故选A.
36.C 考查动词辨析.硬币和纸币还是取代了原来那些钱币.现在人们使用"coins和notes",不再使用原来那些钱币了,即取代了原先的货币形式."replace意为取代",故选C.
37.D 考查名词辨析.前文所提到的salt,shells和metals是几种不同的早期货币,它们以不同的形式出现,但功能相同,因此这里用"forms of money"符合文意.文中没有提及货币的大小,形状,排除A和B,"format"意为"设计,版式",早期的货币非常原始,根本谈不上版式、设计,排除C,故选D.
38.A 考查连词辨析.根据句中的"still keep it for future use和will soon be found only in museums"可以看出这两部分之间存在让步关系,表示这些早期的货币形式将彻底从人们的生活中消失.尽管在一两个比较偏远的国家,有些人仍贮藏原来那些钱币用于以后的一些礼仪场合,比如婚礼和葬礼.故选A.
39.B 考查形容词辨析.在一两个比较偏远的国家,有些人仍贮藏原来那些钱币用于未来的一些礼仪场合,比如婚礼和葬礼.故选B.
40.B 考查形容词辨析.在一两个比较偏远的国家,有些人仍贮藏原来那些钱币用于未来的一些礼仪场合,比如婚礼和葬礼."ceremonial occasion"意为"礼仪场合,特殊场合",故选B.
