2. D 根据下文“It has many beads ...”可知此处介绍算盘的结构;下文的“It”指代D项的“The abacus”。

【分析】
做七选五题目时，需重点关注上下文的指代关系和话题衔接。下文提到“It has many beads...”，其中的“It”指代前文提及的事物，因此前文需先引出“算盘”这一核心话题，且选项要能自然引出后续对算盘结构的描述。
【解析】
观察选项，只有D项“The abacus is usually made of wood.”先引出了“算盘”这一核心事物，下文的“It”恰好指代D项中的“The abacus”，后续内容（珠子的代表意义）是对算盘结构的补充说明，符合逻辑衔接，因此选D。
【答案】
D
