Translate the following passage from English into Chinese.About MoneyAll people need money. Money is very important for our survival. 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 paper notes 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 they considered to be equal value. Barter however was a very unsatisfactory system because people’s precise needs seldom coincided. People needed a more practical system of exchange, and various money systems developed based on goods. Cattle, grain, teeth, shells, skulls, salt, elephant tusks and tobacco have 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.Money isn’t just pieces of paper. Money is a medium that can be exchanged for goods and services and is used as a measure of their values on the market, including among its forms a commodity such as gold, an officially issued coin ornote, or a deposit in a checking account or other readily liquefiable account.Money provides four key functions for an economy: medium of exchange, unit of account, store of value, and standard of deferred payment. (Words: 236)关于货币所有的人都需要货币。

Translation 1 (5minutes)Directions：Complete the sentences by translating into English the Chinese given in brackets．Please write your translation on Answer Sheet 2．87．Only after the accident________(他才意识到酒后驾车的危险性)．88．The more he explains it，_________(我就越糊涂)．89．He denied 偷看了同桌的试卷)．90．_________(我原打算去拜访我叔叔)，but I ran across an old friend．91．I suppose by the time l come back from abroad all those old houses_______ (将被拆除了)．答案与解析87．答案：did he realize how dangerous it is to drive after drinking考点：本题主要考查倒装。
解析：“only+状语”位于句首时，句子要求部分倒装。
由句意和时间状语after the accident 可知，此处应该用一般过去时叙述过去的情况，因此应将助动词did提前构成倒装。
这里“酒后驾车的危险性”可以用how引导的宾语从句来表达。
88．答案：the more confused I am考点：本题主要考查比较结构。
解析：“The more…，the more…”意为“越……，就越……”。
这里要注意的是，表示“越糊涂”应该是用confused的比较级，故应该将more confused一起放到句首，而不是只将more提前。
89．答案：having peeked at his neighbor's test paper考点：本题主要考查动名词的完成式。
