Money is used for buying or selling goods, for measuring value and for storing wealth. Almost every society now has a money economy based on coins and bills of one kind or another. However, this has not always been true. In primitive societies a system of barter was used. Barter was a system of direct exchange of goods. Somebody could exchange a sheep, for example, for anything in the market place that he or she considered to be of equal value. Barter, however, was a very unsatisfactory system because people's precise needs were seldom met. People needed a more practical system of exchange, and various money systems developed based on goods that the members of society recognized as having value. Cattle, grain, teeth, shells, feathers, salt, elephant tusks, and tobacco had all been used. Precious metals gradually took over because, when made into coins, they were portable, durable, recognizable, and divisible into larger and smaller units of value.
A coin is a piece of metal, usually disc-shaped, which bears words, designs or numbers show-ing its value. Until the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, coins were given monetary worth based on the exact amount of metal contained in them, but most modern coins are based on
face value — the value that the governments choose to give them, which doesn't show the actual metal content. Coins have been made of gold, silver, copper, aluminum (铝) , nickel (镍) , lead, zinc (锌) , plastic and in China even from tea leaves. Most governments now issue paper money in the form of bills, which are really \much more convenient in the modern world. Checks and credit cards are being used increasingly, and it is possible to imagine a world where \no longer be used. Even today, in the United States, many places, especially filling stations will not accept cash at night for security reasons. 46. Barter here means __________.
A. exchanging goods for goods B. exchanging money for goods C. exchanging goods for money
D. exchanging sheep for anything in the market
47. Why were precious metals gradually used for making coins? A. Because they were durable and portable. B. Because they were recognizable. C. Because they were divisible. D. All of the above. 48. Coins were given value according to the exact amount of metals contained in them __________.
A. between the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries B. after the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries C. during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries D. before the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries 49. Promises to pay means __________.

C. obligations to pay D. possibilities to pay
50. A world without any money in the form of coins and paper is __________. A. suitable B. possible C. avoidable D. necessary

赵德杰点评： 受教育部政策的影响，2007年参加山东省普通类专升本考试的考生人数大幅度下降，因此当年公共英语试题的难度也远低于06年。试题听力部分题型合理、难度适中（但实际录音较差），词汇与结构部分难度尚可，但阅读部分难度过低，学生几乎无法拉开成绩档次，翻译与写作部分也较为简单。整套试题难度系数偏低，大家可酌情使用。
