A.汉代

B.唐代

C.宋代

D.清代

答案

参考答案:D

解析:在清朝,钱庄和票号已经作为金融机构而存在。在南方盛行钱庄,北方盛行票号。钱庄除了经营兑换和放款等业务外,还扩大到存款,并有钱票、银票的使用。票号是清代乾隆年间出现的专门经营汇兑的信用机构,因经营此业务者以山西人为多,故又称为“山西票号”。钱庄和票号是银行的雏形。所以,选项A、B、C不正确。

     Jim Carrey is one of the most recognized faces in the world-and certainly because of his rubbery face.

     Born in Ontario, Canada on January 17th, 1962 to a poor family, young Jim Carrey led a tough life, yet

one good thing came out of it. He developed a great sense of humor to cope with life. At 15, he started

performing at a Toronto comedy club. Later he moved to LA and soon came to the attention of Rodney and

went on his tour.

     Jim Carrey got his big break in 1990 0n the comedy show In Living Color. There Carrey perfected many

characters, most widely-known one "Fire Marshal Bill", who always went up in flames. The show stopped

when critics claimed that it encouraged kids to play with fire. This argument put Carrey's name in the headlines

for the first time.

     He broke into feature films in one single successful year, 1994, making it the Year of the Funny Face.

First there was Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, a surprise hit showing Carrey's wacky (古怪) style. Next came

TheMask, tailor-made for him and a hit with audiences. There was still Dumb and Dumber, which ended up

on top of the box office.

     Carrey has slowed down, but his films have continued to make waves if not quite of the previous quality.

There was Barman Forever, then a sequel to Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls, which didn't quite retake the

sparkle (光彩) of the earlier one: Next came Liar, Liar, a terrific success everywhere, putting him back on

top. Then came The Truman Show, a film which proved Jim Carrey was more than just a funny face. Snubbed

(冷落) by the Oscars, he was clearly considered golden by the fans.
