7、合语境。答案：B3解析：根据空前的“You dream and then follow it up with a list of all the reasons why the dream is unachievable.”可知，你把自己无法实现梦想的原因列成了一个清单；据此可以判断，空处说明此举的结果：你的生活充斥着各种借口和“我不能”，故C项正确。答案：C4解析：根据空处后一句“Acting on the dream is harder”可知，努力实现梦想更难，空处与该句形成对比；据此可知，空处表示“(设定)梦想是容易的”，故E项正确。答案：E5解析：根据空处前一句“Do not be a
8、fraid to dream.”可知，不要畏惧梦想；据此可以判断，空处应进一步表示要相信自己，你能实现梦想。故F项正确。答案：FBChina has been the birthplace of many of the worlds greatest inventions.

14、her goods and services is called bartering”可知，此处主要讲的是“物物交换”，F项中的“buying a chicken might cost several potatoes”是“物物交换”的一个例子，符合上下文文意，故选F项。答案：F2解析：本文第一段讲的是“物物交换”；根据空后的“In 1200 BC，people in China began to use shells (贝壳)as money. Usually the shells used as money were very small.”可知，第二段讲的是“贝壳作为货币使用”，故此空的
15、作用是承上启下。B项中的“such exchanges”与第一段最后一句中的“This exchange”相呼应，且B项中的“However”以及“impractical”表明“物物交换”有局限性，所以出现了更加方便携带的贝壳货币，符合上下文文意，故选B项。答案：B3解析：根据第二段内容及空前的“many other countries around the world began to do the same”可知，许多其他国家也开始这样做了。“to do the same”指的就是“也开始用贝壳作为买卖的货币”，故D项“他们也使用小贝壳作为货币进行买卖”符合上下文文意，故选D项。 答案：D
16、4解析：根据空前的“It wasnt long before the Chinese made round coins out of metal.”可知，中国出现了金属制成的圆形钱币；根据空后的“By 500 BC，metal coins had begun to appear in countries like Persia and Greece，and later in the Roman Empire”可知，到公元前500年这种金属钱币开始在其他国家出现。故空处应是解释这种金属钱币在其他国家出现的原因。故选G项“这种首次出现的钱币上通常有孔以便人们把它们串起来”。 答案：G5解析：根据空前的“the first pa
