7、據(jù)空后的"but they will not stay, they will come to pass”可知，但是，這些困難終將過(guò)去； 據(jù)此可以判斷，空處陳述的是與此相反的情況，即會(huì)有困難時(shí)刻,故B項(xiàng)符合語(yǔ)境。答案：B3 .解析:根據(jù)空前的"You dream and then follow it up with a list of all the reasons why the dream is unachievable.

14、解讀 本文是一篇說(shuō)明文，主要按照時(shí)間順序講述了中國(guó)和世界上其他國(guó)家貨幣發(fā)展的歷史。1解析：根據(jù)空前的“people used many different kinds of things for buying andselling ”及空后的“This exchange of goods and services for other goods and servicesis called bartering ”可知，此處主要講的是“物物交換”， F 項(xiàng)中的“ buying a chicken might cost several potatoes ”是“物物交換”的一個(gè)例子，符合上下文文意，故

15、選 F 項(xiàng)。答案： F2解析：本文第一段講的是“物物交換”；根據(jù)空后的“In 1200 BC， people in Chinabegan to use shells （ 貝殼 ）as money. Usually the shells used as money were very small. ”可知，第二段講的是“貝殼作為貨幣使用”，故此空的作用是承上啟下。 B 項(xiàng)中的“such exchanges”與第一段最后一句中的"This exchange ”相呼應(yīng)，且 B項(xiàng)中的“However,以及“impractical ”表明“物物交換”有局限性，所以出現(xiàn)了更加方便攜帶的貝殼貨幣，

16、符合上下文文意，故選B 項(xiàng)。答案： B3解析：根據(jù)第二段內(nèi)容及空前的“many other countries around the world beganto do the same ”可知，許多其他國(guó)家也開(kāi)始這樣做了。“to do the same ”指的就是“也開(kāi)始用貝殼作為買(mǎi)賣(mài)的貨幣”， 故D 項(xiàng)“他們也使用小貝殼作為貨幣進(jìn)行買(mǎi)賣(mài)”符合上下文文意，故選D 項(xiàng)。答案： D4解析：根據(jù)空前的“It wasn't long before the Chinese made round coins out ofmetal. ”可知， 中國(guó)出現(xiàn)了金屬制成的圓形錢(qián)幣；根據(jù)空后的“By 500

17、 BC， metal coins hadbegun to appear in countries like Persia and Greece， and later in the Roman Empire” 可知， 到公元前500 年這種金屬錢(qián)幣開(kāi)始在其他國(guó)家出現(xiàn)。故空處應(yīng)是解釋這種金屬錢(qián)幣在其他國(guó)家出現(xiàn)的原因。故選G 項(xiàng)“這種首次出現(xiàn)的錢(qián)幣上通常有孔以便人們把它們串起來(lái)”。答案： G5解析：根據(jù)空前的“the first paper banknotes were produced by the Chinese故C項(xiàng)“很多年后紙幣才出現(xiàn)在歐洲”people”可知，此處講到了紙幣首先由中國(guó)人創(chuàng)造
