試題分析：本文敘述了中國是最早的金屬幣的使用國家，講述的是我國的圓形方孔錢即我國的“銅錢”， 由于攜帶不方便所以金屬貨幣被紙幣所取代，就出現(xiàn)了最早的紙幣，隨后描述了紙幣的特征，所以我們就開始使用紙幣了。
小題1:根據(jù)People use money to buy food, furniture, books, bicycles and hundreds of other things they need or want.后面談到人們的生活離不開錢，所以第一句應(yīng)該填貨幣的重要性眾所周知。故選G。
小題2:根據(jù)整個(gè)第三自然段的核心意思是在很久以前人們使用各種各樣形式的貨幣，而第二段講述的是貨幣的形式主要是金屬和紙幣，與第三段的內(nèi)容截然不同，所以我們要采用轉(zhuǎn)折句來描述以前的貨幣形式種類多樣。故選B。
小題3:中國是最早的金屬幣的使用國家，講述的是我國的圓形方孔錢即我國的“銅錢”，緊接著描述的是把錢串起來使用，在古代稱為“一貫”，故選D。
小題4:第五段講述的是不同的國家用不同的金屬來設(shè)計(jì)和制造本國的貨幣，如瑞典和俄國用銅，那我們可以推測(cè)到本空要寫英國最早使用錫。故選A。
小題5:最后一段講述到由于攜帶不方便所以金屬貨幣被紙幣所取代，就出現(xiàn)了最早的紙幣，隨后描述了紙幣的特征，所以我們選人們開始使用紙幣。故選F。
