　　　 Anthropologists are scientists that study people who often lived hundreds or even thousands of years ago. Items those men, women, and children left behind when they died – everything from clothing to jewelry and tools -- tell anthropologists a lot. And sometimes even their words survive.

　　 Experts believe that a discovery in Mexico is the oldest example of writing ever found in the America. The people who created it probably lived 3,000 years ago, long before Christopher Columbus arrived in the New World.

　　 Workers digging in a rock mine happened to notice a stone block with marks carved onto its surface. They found the large piece of stone near the city of Cascajal, Mexico, which was once the capital of an ancient people called the Olmec.

　　　 "There are signs on the block that seem to show objects used by the Olmec during their religious ceremonies," says Dr. Stephen Houston, of Brown University in the USA. "There is a sign that looks very similar to a knife and another that looks like the chair of a King," he explains.

　　 Houston, an expert on the writing systems of ancient cultures, says the discovery is exciting because "it makes clear that the Olmec could read and write. It is like hearing voices from the past."

　　 But experts don't know exactly what the writing says. Finding other examples of Olmec writing could help decipher the puzzle.

　　　 "We could have whole sets of ancient writing which will basically make ancient people speak to us directly," says Houston. "There are many puzzles to be solved, and this is just one of them."

71. According to the passage, what items do scientists often use to learn more about the past?

　 B. It allows scientists to translate the ancient language used in this area.

　 C. It is evidence of the oldest form of writing ever found in America.

　 D. It shows the people of the area have a written language.

73. Why are scientists interested in ancient languages?

　 A. It can allow them to better understand ancient societies.

　 B. So they can speak directly with ancient people.

　 C. It will help learn about the origins of modern languages.

　 D. They can learn stories told during that time.

第Ⅱ卷 (共45分)

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　C

That cold January night, I was growing sick of my life in San Francisco. There I was, walking home at one in the morning after a tiring practice at the theatre. With opening night only a week away, I was still learning my lines. I was having trouble dealing with my part-time job at the bank and my acting at night at the same time. As I walked, I thought seriously about giving up both acting and San Francisco. City life had become too much for me.

As I walked down empty streets under tall buildings, I felt very small and cold. I began running, both to keep warm and to keep away from any possible robbers (抢劫犯 ). Very few people were still out except a few sad-looking homeless people under blankets.

About a block from my apartment, I heard a sound behind me. I turned quickly, half expecting to see someone with a knife or a gun. The street was empty. All I saw was a streetlight. Still, the noise had made me nervous, so I started to run faster. Not until I reached my apartment building and unlocked the door did I realize what the noise had been. It had been my wallet falling to the sidewalk.

Suddenly I wasn’t cold or tired anymore. I ran out of the door and back to where I’d heard the noise. Although I searched the sidewalk anxiously for fifteen minutes, my wallet was nowhere to be found.

Just as I was about to give up the search, I heard the garbage truck ( 垃圾车 ) pull up to the sidewalk next to me. When a voice called from the inside, “Alisa Camacho?” I thought I was dreaming. How could this man know my name? The door opened, and out jumped a small red-haired man with an amused look in his eyes. “Is this what you’re looking for?” he asked, holding up a small square shape.

It was nearly 3 A. M. by the time I got into bed. I wouldn’t get much sleep that night, but I had gotten my wallet back. I also had gotten back some enjoyment of city life. I realized that the city couldn’t be a bad place as long as people were willing to help each other.
