_ 【小题1】__ People use money to buy food, furniture, books, bicycles and hundreds of other things they need or want. When they work, they usually get paid in money.
Most of the money today is made of metal or paper. 【小题2】 One of the first kinds of money was shells.
Shells were not the only things used as money. In China，cloth and knives were used. In the Philippine Islands，rice was used as money for a long time. Elephant tusks，monkey tails and salt were used as money in parts of Africa.
The first metal coins were made in China. They were round and had a square hole in the centre. 【小题3】__
Different countries have used different metals and designs for their money. __【小题4】 Sweden and Russia used copper to make their money. Later some countries began to make coins of gold and silver.
But even gold and silver were inconvenient if you had to buy something expensive. Again the Chinese thought of a way to improve money. __【小题5】 The first paper money looked more like a note from one person to another than the paper money used today.
Money has had an interesting history from the days of shell money until today. A．The first coins in England were made of tin(锡)．B．But people used to use all kinds of things as money.C．No one knows for certain when people began to use money.D．People strung(串连) them together and carried them from place to place.E. Money, as we know，is all made of paper.
F. They began to use paper money.
G. Today anyone will accept money in exchange for goods and services.G

(答案→)G 解析：本文叙述了中国是最早的金属币的使用国家，讲述的是我国的圆形方孔钱即我国的“铜钱”， 由于携带不方便所以金属货币被纸币所取代，就出现了最早的纸币，随后描述了纸币的特征，所以我们就开始使用纸币了。【小题1】根据People use money to buy food, furniture, books, bicycles and hundreds of other things they need or want.后面谈到人们的生活离不开钱，所以第一句应该填货币的重要性众所周知。故选G。【小题2】根据整个第三自然段的核心意思是在很久以前人们使用各种各样形式的货币，而第二段讲述的是货币的形式主要是金属和纸币，与第三段的内容截然不同，所以我们要采用转折句来描述以前的货币形式种类多样。故选B。【小题3】中国是最早的金属币的使用国家，讲述的是我国的圆形方孔钱即我国的“铜钱”，紧接着描述的是把钱串起来使用，在古代称为“一贯”，故选D。【小题4】第五段讲述的是不同的国家用不同的金属来设计和制造本国的货币，如瑞典和俄国用铜，那我们可以推测到本空要写英国最早使用锡。故选A。【小题5】最后一段讲述到由于携带不方便所以金属货币被纸币所取代，就出现了最早的纸币，随后描述了纸币的特征，所以我们选人们开始使用纸币。故选F。
