阅读下面的材料,从每题所给的A、B、C三个选项中,选出最佳选项回答问题或完成句子。
     Long ago, people lived on wild animals, fruits and other plants and they didn’t need to use money.
     As time passed, families had more products(产品) than they needed, such as animals and crops. 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 didn’t start using paper money till the1600s.
     Today we have many ways to pay for things, such as coins, paper money and cards. Some prefer to
pay by card. That’s 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 plants  
B. raised animals  
C. needed to trade 2. People used ______ as money during the 600s BC. A. shells

                                                                                                                            —Jocelyn Howard, 16

Identify (识别) your weak areas. For example, maybe you don"t have good reading skills or it"s hard for
you to take notes. Once you identify what your weakness is, ask for help in these specific areas. Be willing to go in early or stay after school to get extra help. Go into the school year knowing that being a good
student will require time and effort!"

       No one knows when the first house was built and who was the first one to built the house. But the
houses are changing all the time.  
       (     )1. What will the house of the future look like? Could it have gardens on its walls, or a pool with
fish for dinner? Architects (建筑学家) believe that they may come true one day. The only thing for sure is
the houses will be as green as possible in the future.
       (     )2. Many architects in the world would like to build a house like a leaf, the surface of the house
collects sunlight during the day. The energy can be used to heat water, produce electricity, and even make fresh air for the room. The"root"(根) of the house is deep under the ground. It uses the soil to control the
room"s temperature.
       (     )3. Like a lizard (蜥蜴), changing color with the weather is the most important design of a lizard
house. When it"s in the bright sun, the cover of the house will turn white to protect it from strong heat.
During dark days, it turns dark and takes in as much light and heat as possible to produce energy.
       (     )4. This design is perhaps for the future of food. It has a garden on the outside wall of the house. People can plant tomatoes, carrots and green tea on them. So every morning, you just need to walk
outside and collect your meals.
       (     )5. Looking to the future isn"t the only way to be green. Sometimes, the old ways of building
houses can also help cut down energy use. For example, a chimney (烟囱) can be a useful air conditioner because it is easier for hot air to run out of the chimney.

    During the 1800s, African Americans worked long days in the fields of the American South. They sang
songs that they had brought from Africa while working. One person sang a line. Then a group of workers
repeated it. The song’s words told of the hardships(艰苦) that people suffered. They clapped their hands
and stomped(跺) their feet to the music.
    In the 1860s, the music changed greatly. African American music took new forms. It was also influenced by dance music, which had great rhythm(节奏). Banjos(班卓琴) became popular. A blues singer usually sang a line and then played the banjo in reply. By the early 1900s, the guitar had taken the place of the
banjo in the blues music.
    The blues music has many obvious characteristics. One of them is that the musical notes() are often “
bent”. That is, they are changed slightly to give a song more strength.
    Lyrics are the words of a song. Blues lyrics describe everyday life. The lyrics are often about the relationships between men and women. They tell about sadness and overwork. They tell about finding and losing
love, having money or being poor, being happy or sad and lonely. They almost always use the rhythms of
everyday speech. A group of blues lyrics usually has three lines. The second line repeats the first line. The
third line has different words.

style -rock and roll.
