[单项选择]Archaeology as a profession faces two major problems. First, it is the poorest of the poor. Only paltry sums are available for excavating and even less is available for publishing the results and preserving the sites once excavated. Yet archaeologists deal with priceless objects every day. Second, there is the problem of illegal excavation, resulting in museum-quality pieces being sold to the highest bidder.
I would like to make an outrageous suggestion that would at one stroke provide funds for archaeology and reduce the amount of illegal digging. I would propose that scientific archeological expeditions and governmental authorities sell excavated artifacts on the open market. Such sales would provide substantial funds for the excavation and preservation of archaeological sites and the publication of results. At the same time, they would break the illegal excavator’s grip on the market, thereby decreasing the inducement to engage in illegal activities.
You might object that
A. an alternative to museum display of artifacts.
B. a way to curb illegal digging while benefiting the archaeological profession.
C. a way to distinguish artifacts with scientific value from those that have no such value.
D. the governmental regulation of archaeological sites.

[单项选择] Only two major American film forms-the slapstick comedy and the western-withstood the effects of foreign influences throughout the 1920’’s, when the entire film industry was dominated by the European moviemakers. These forms were already immensely popular all over the world (there was no need to make them more "artistic" by following the latest European fashions), and they were at once too successful and too lowly to warrant such improvements-they were considered "just entertainment." They bore no weighty messages, inspired no cults and no schools of esthetics. But they delighted audiences, both here and abroad, because they were so purely and simply American. Unconsciously, they represented all that was best in America without the slightest trace of intention, of sermonizing. The ingenuity and eternal optimism of the cornices and the cowboys’’ spirit of adventure as they rode the plains in search of the next frontier were enough to carry the message of the American dream to tired
A. comics’’ ingenuity and optimism
B. cowboys’’ spirit of adventure
C. characters’’ determination to succeed
D. both A and B
