67．F

68．B

69．D

70．A

66．G根据下文“这方面的知识，帮助他们过上了比那时候的大多数人更好的生活”，可知“玛雅人知道很多关于他们周围的自然世界”符合题意。故选G。67．F本句承接上文。根据上句中的“Theyplantedseeds”可知F项“一个农民能够种植足以为几个人提供粮食的农作物。”符合语境。68．B本句承接上文。根据上句可知大多数玛雅人过着简朴的生活，故选B项。69．D本句顺承上文。根据上句可知测量时间对玛雅人来说很重要，D项解释了原因，故选D项。70．A根据下句“Theymayhavediedfromaninfectiousdisease.”可知A项“没有人知道为什么会发生这样的事”起到过渡作用。故选A。【备注】文章讲述了玛雅人的聪明和智慧。考古学家们仍在努力寻找丢失的玛雅的秘密，它仍然是我们最大的谜团之一。
