八年级英语阅读理解中等难度题查看答案及解析
Money is what people use to buy things they need or want. A long time ago, people didn't use money. So how did they get the things they wanted? Well, there is a long and interesting story about this.
At first, they would exchange something they had for something they needed. For example, if the shoemaker needed some bread, he would give the baker shoes and the baker would give him bread. This was called "bartering". Bartering worked fine for a while. But after the baker had too many shoes, the shoemaker still needed more bread. What could they do? The solution to this problem was money.
Money is basically an agreement among people. People agree that some metal or paper will be worth a certain amount of bread or a certain number of shoes. There were many earlier forms of money, such as cattle, salt, grain（谷物）and shells. But it was not easy to move them or store them.
So coins began to take the place of things. Coins had a set value and could be stored long. A coin says right on it how much it is worth. Different coins are worth different amounts. It became possible for people to trade in a standardized（标准）way.
About three hundred years ago, paper money came into wider use. Paper money is cheaper to make than coins. It is also easier to carry around. Now people use paper money and coins in most countries. We call these kinds of money cash.
Cash has been popular for hundreds of years. But these days, things seem to have changed. Cashless payment（无现金支付）has come into our lives and changed our world.
China was the first country in the world to use paper money. Now, centuries later, analysts（分析家）believe that China may soon become the first cashless society. Cashless payment apps such as Alipay and WeChat Pay are becoming more common in China. The buyer just scans（扫描）the quick-respond code（二维码）of the seller, or the other way around. Then they can get the things they want. No physical money is needed in this process. Is tomorrow already here?
1.Which is the correct order of the development of money?
①Coins
②Bartering
③Paper money
④Cashless payment
⑤Cattle, grain and shells
A.②⑤①③④ B.⑤③②①④ C.②⑤①④③ D.⑤④③②①
2.What can we learn from the passage?
A.Coins are the earliest form of money in the world.
B.People cannot buy things by showing the quick-respond code.
C.Both coins and paper money are very popular around the world.
D.Paper money costs more to make than coins because they are worth more.
3.What does the author want to tell us in the last paragraph?
A.China is the first cashless country in the world.
B.People will start using cashless payment tomorrow.
C.People won't use any physical money in the future.
D.Cashless payment is the new stage of money development.
