【小題22】聽力原文開頭指出希臘哲學家亞里士多德對錢幣的特征做過描述,提到It must be lasting and easy to recognize, to divide, and to carry about.即錢幣必須具有持久性、易于辨認、分割、攜帶,選項B符合原文,故為答案
【小題23】聽力原文中提到Among isolated people,... commerce usually means barter. For this kind of simple trading, money is not needed...,即有些與世隔絕的人通常不使用錢幣進行交易,對于他們來說商業就是以物易物,故選項A為答案 。
【小題24】聽力原文提到Salt may seem rather a strange substance to use as money, but in countries where the food of the people is mainly vegetable, it is often an absolute necessity.由此可知,在一些以蔬菜為食的國家,鹽是一種必需品,他們往往會用鹽作為媒介進行交易,故選項B為答案 。另外三個選項屬于利用原文信息張冠李戴設置的干擾 。
