阅读理解 There is a story of a country where the rate of inflation(通货膨胀) is so high that clever people pay for a taxi ride before, instead of after the trip. The story may not be true, but inflation was almost that serious in Germany from July 1920 until December 1923. Prices went up so fast that by the end of 1923 they were 50 billion percent higher-arise of almost 2,500% a month.There was so much paper money, and it had so little value, that people carried bags full of money around to pay for things. One woman tells the story of standing outside a shop with a basket full of 500,000 marks(马克) notes. She wanted to buy just one piece of meat, and she hoped she had enough money. But when she was looking, a thief robbed her. He didn't take her money, he threw it away and took the basket instead.At first workers demanded to be paid every day, but as the situation became worse, they had to be paid twice a day. But they had to run out and spend the money at once, or it would lose its value. People bought anything that was for sale, but food was almost impossible to find. Farm workers refused to take money. They wanted to be paid in potatoes instead.New policies ended the inflation in 1923, when the government introduced a new money, but about half of the German people lost everything in those three and a half years.1.According to the text, in Germany the prices in 1920 were ______.A.the lowest in historyB.the highest in historyC.higher than those in 1923D.lower than those in 19232.The thief stole the basket instead of the money in it because he thought ______.A.the basket was what he needed mostB.the money was of no valueC.the basket was more valuable than the moneyD.he couldn't buy a piece of meat with the money3.The farm workers demanded to be paid in potatoes because they believed ______.A.the potato was valuableB.the money might lose its valueC.the potato was too expensiveD.the money could not buy potatoes
