答案： 1.A 推理判断题。由第一则新闻的Since 2000, letter deliveries have dropped by 90%。可知，自2000年以来，信件投递量已经下降了90%。故推断A项“因为很少有人寄信。”符合语境。
2.A 细节理解题。由第二则新闻的There's an 1,800-year-old stone map of Rome under a glass floor. People can walk on it...可知，人们在意大利可以在旧地图上行走。
3.D 细节理解题。由第三则新闻的But the new ones picture people who fought for Belize's independence.可知，伯利兹新纸币上有为独立而奋斗的人物的图片。
4.B 细节理解题。由第四则新闻的Greek police got a statue from a rubbish bag. It's from the Hellenistic period, over 2,000 years old.与第二则新闻的There's an 1,800-year-old stone map of Rome...可知，希腊的雕像与罗马的石质地图出自古代。
5.B 主旨大意题。四则新闻分别介绍了丹麦邮递业务的情况、罗马新博物馆的情况、伯利兹新纸币的情况以及希腊的一尊古雕像的情况。故推断，本文最有可能出现在杂志的历史与文化专栏。
