And how did it affect the ancient societies that created it? Until recently, re- searchers thought they had the answers. (1) _______________. But few see the matter so simply now. With evidence gleaned from such disparate sources as ancient temple paintings, clay tablets, and buried hoards of un- coined metals, researchers have revealed far more ancient money: silverscraps and bits of gold, massive rings and gleaming ingots.(2) _______________.There, they suggest, wealthy citizens were flaunting money at least as early as 2500 B.C. and perhaps a few hundred years before that. "There's just no way to get around it," says Marvin Powell, a historian at Northern Illinois University in De Kalb. "Silver in Mesopotamia functions like our money today. It's a means of exchange. People use it for a storage of wealth, and they use it for defining value."Many scholars believ e money began even earlier. ‘My sense is that as far back as the written records go in Mesopotamia and Egypt, some form of money is there,’ observes Jonathan Williams, curator of Roman and Iron Age coins at the British Museum in London. "That suggests it was probably there beforehand, but we can' t tell because I we don't have any written records."Just why researchers have had such difficulties in uncovering these ancient moneys has much to do with the practice of archeology and the nature of money itself. Archeologists, after all, are the ultimate Dumpster divers: they spend their careers sifting through the trash of the past, ingeniously reconstructing vanished lives from broken pets and dented knives. (3) _______________ Money doesn't always come in the form of dimes and sawbucks, even today. As a means of payment and a way of storing wealth, it assumes many forms, from debit cards and checks to credit cards and mutual funds. The forms it took in the past have been, to say the least, elusive.From the beginning, money has shaped human society. It greased the wheels of Mesopotamian commerce, spurred the development of mathematics, and helped officials and kings rake in taxes and impose fines. (4) _______________. "If there were never any money, there would never have been prosperity," says Thomas Wyrick, an economist at Southwest Missouri State University in Springfield, who is studying the origins of money and banking. "Money is making all this stuff happen."Ancient texts show that almost from its first recorded appearance in the ancient Near East, money preoccupied estate owners and scribes, water carriers and slaves. In Mesopotamia, as early as 3000 BC, scribes devised pictographs suitable for recording simple lists of concrete objects, such as grain consignments. (5) _______________.A. Five hundred years later, the pictographs had evolved into a more supplesystem of writing, a partially syllabic script known as cuneiform that was capable of recording the vernacular: first Sumerian, a language unrelated to any living tongue, and later Akkadian , an ancient Semitic language.B. In the process, they have pushed the origins of cash far beyond the sunnycoasts of the Mediterranean, back to the world's oldest cities in Mesopotamia, the fertile plain created by the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. C. As it evolved in Bronze Age civilizations along the Mediterranean coast,it fostered sea trade, built lucrative cottage industries, and underlay an accumulation of wealth that might have impressed Donald Trump.D. The tokens served first as counters and perhaps later as promissory notesgiver temple tax collectors before the first writing appeared.E. They believed money was born, as coins, along the coasts of theMediterranean the seventh or sixth century BC, a product of the civilization that later gave world the Parthenon, Plato, and Aristotle.F. But like us, ancient Mesopotamians and Phoenicians seldom made the errorof tossing out cash, and only rarely did they bury their most precious liquid assets in ground. Even when archeologists have found buried cash, though, they've trouble recognizing it for what it was. G. If money had never developed, we would all still be bartering. We would have been stuck with that. Money opened the door to trade, which opened the door for specialization. And that made possible a modern society.III．形式主义类题（5句，每句4分，共20分）该题型旨在考核学生两种语言对应能力，五个汉语单句需译成英语，要求体现原语形式意义。
