Part 2. Questions 66 – 75 (2.0 points - 0.2/ each)
Read the passage below and choose the best answer to each question
 The languages spoken by early Europeans are still shrouded in mystery. There is no linguistic 
continuity between the languages of Old Europe (a term sometimes used for Europe between 7,000 
and 3,000 B.C.) and the languages of the modern world, and we cannot yet translate the Old 
European script. Scholars have deciphered other ancient languages, such as Sumerian, Akkadian, 
and Babylonian, which used the cuneiform script, because of the fortuitous discovery of bilingual 
inscriptions. When cuneiform tablets were first discovered in the 18th century, scholars could not 
decipher them. Then inscriptions found in Iran at the end of the 18th century provided a link: these 
inscriptions were written in cuneiform and in two other ancient languages, Old Persian and New 
Elamite – languages that had already been deciphered. It took several decades, but scholars 
eventually translated the ancient cuneiform script via the more familiar Old Persian language.
 Similarly, the hieroglyphic writing of the Egyptians remained a mystery until French troops 
unearthed the famous Rosetta stone in the late 18th century. The stone carried the same message 
written in ancient Greek, Egyptian hieroglyphs, and Egyptian hieratic, a simplified form of 
hieroglyphs. The Rosetta stone thwarted scholars’ efforts for several decades until the early 19th 
century when several key hieroglyphic phrases were decoded using the Greek inscriptions. 
Unfortunately, we have no Old European Rosetta stone to chart correspondences between Old 
European script and the languages that replaced it.
 The incursions of Indo-European tribes into Old Europe from the late 5th to the early 3rd 
millennia B.C. caused a linguistic and cultural discontinuity. These incursions disrupted the Old 
European sedentary farming lifestyle that had existed for 3,000 years. As the Indo-Europeans 
encroached on Old Europe from the east, the continent underwent upheavals. These severely 
affected the Balkans, where the Old European cultures abundantly employed script. The Old 
European way of life deteriorated rapidly, although pockets of Old European cultural remained for 
several millennia. The new peoples spoke completely different languages belonging to the Indo-
European linguistic family. The Old European language or languages, and the script used to write 
them, declined and eventually vanished.
61. What is the main topic of the passage?
 A. Reason for the failure to understand the written records of Old European culture.
 B. Influences on the development of Old European script.
 C. Similarities between Old European script and other ancient writing systems.
 D. Events leading to the discovery of Old European script.
62. According to the passage, New Elamite is _________.
 A. a language that was used in Europe about 3,000 years ago
