  71.E 72.B 73.F 74.A 75.G

  71.E.考查上下文的理解能力.前面提出了关于语言学的许多问题,那么接下来的就是针对这些问题的探索;故选E.

  72.B.考查上下文的理解能力.前面提到公元前4世纪古希腊历史学家Herodotus的努力,所以B项具有承上启下的作用,衔接自然;故选B.

  73.F.考查上下文的理解能力.根据下面一句的描述Hetoldtheking.whoaskedhisscholarsaboutthisword.TheytoldhimthatthePhiygians,wholivedinanareawhichisnowTurkey,calledbread"becos可知,与F项中的孩子最初发出的声音becos相对应;故选F.

  74.A.考查上下文的理解能力.通过后面内容的叙述ScholarsdiscoveredthatmanyEuropeanandsouthernAsianlanguagesbelongedtothesame"family"andthattheystartedfromthesameparentlanguage,Proto-Indo-European可知,现在学者的研究要更加科学;故选A.

  75.G.考查上下文的理解能力.根据后面一句Twoquestionsthatinterestlinguistsare提出了现在语言学家感兴趣的两个话题,那么前面自然会进一步解释语言学家们的研究成绩,故选G.
