So they needed to trade (交易）with others. They began to use money to make it easier. However, it was not like the money we use today. They used shells, rice, salt or large stones.During the 600s BC, people began using coins as money. Because they were easier to carry than goods (货物)，countries began to make coins as their money.The Chinese were the first to use paper money, probably in the 11th century. An Italian traveler, Marco Polo, saw the Chinese use paper money when he visited China in the 1200s. After his travel, he told the western people what he saw. But European countries didnt start using paper money till the 1600s.Today we have many ways to pay for things, such as coins, paper money and cards. Some prefer to pay by card. Thats because paying with a card is easier and safer than carrying around a lot of “real” money.（1）People began to use money because they .A . lived on plantsB . raised animalsC . needed to tradeD . grew crops（2）People used as money during the 600s BC.A . shellsB . coinsC . cardsD . stones（3）European countries started using paper money .A . in the 600s BCB . in the 600sC . in the 1200sD . in the 1600s（4）The passage tells us the of money.A . historyB . useC . collectionD . amount18. （10分）阅读下列短文，从下面每小题的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。AIn ancient China, a woman told the best stories. She married to the emperor (皇帝). Sadly, one day, this woman became ill and died. Everyone thought the emperor would soon find another favorite among his wives, but the emperor was very sad. He spent more and more time in his garden, and less and less time caring for the needs of his people. Everyone in the kingdom was worried.One day, a priest (牧师) passed when some children were playing with their dolls. The dolls made dancing shadows on the wall. This gave the priest an idea. He knew the stories the emperors wife used to tell. What if he could bring those stories to life?The priest made a puppet (木偶) out of bits of clay (黏土). He painted the puppet to look somewhat like the emperors wife. When the puppet was finished, the priest silently walked into the emperors garden, carrying his puppet, a candle and a curtain. He placed the curtain near the emperors chair. He placed his candle, his puppet and himself behind the curtain. He waited for the emperor to appear.The emperor did not even notice the curtain at first. The dancing shadow drew his eyes.
