【解析】錢(qián)在我們的生活中是很重要的，我們每天都要用到。而很少人了解錢(qián)的發(fā)展歷史。這篇短文按照時(shí)間順序給我們介紹了錢(qián)是如何一步步發(fā)展的。

【1】根據(jù)下面的短文中Long ago, people didn’t need money…. During the 7th century B．C.(公元前)…The Chinese were the first to use paper money, as early as the 11th century…. Today, we have many ways to pay for things.可知，這篇短文給我們講述了錢(qián)的歷史。這個(gè)空在短文的第一段，是點(diǎn)明文章中心的，故應(yīng)選A。

【2】根據(jù)第一句話(huà)Long ago, people didn’t need money可知，這一段講述的是很久以前，那個(gè)時(shí)候人們不需要錢(qián)，因?yàn)樗麄儾恍枰�買(mǎi)東西，他們靠野生動(dòng)物、野果和其他植物為生。因此F選項(xiàng)符合文意。

【3】根據(jù)上文的意思以及下句話(huà)They used shells, salt and large stones可知，可知，很久以前的人們開(kāi)始用錢(qián)作為交換，但是他們用的是貝殼、鹽和大的石頭，不是我們今天所使用的錢(qián)，由此可知應(yīng)選E。

【4】根據(jù)是上句話(huà)people began using coins as money可知，人們開(kāi)始使用硬幣作錢(qián)，所以這里應(yīng)該也是跟硬幣有關(guān)的信息，故應(yīng)選D：后來(lái)，國(guó)家開(kāi)始制作自己的硬幣。

【5】根據(jù)這一段的內(nèi)容可知，在11世紀(jì)的時(shí)候，中國(guó)人開(kāi)始使用紙幣。意大利的旅行家馬可波羅看到了中國(guó)人使用紙幣，因此后來(lái)紙幣也傳到了歐洲，歐洲人后來(lái)也開(kāi)始使用紙幣，因此應(yīng)選G。
