題目：
閱讀部分：出土了一種用陶土做的disk，一面有花紋，一面沒花紋。沒花紋那面周圍有一圈凸起剛好形成了一個淺淺的碗。disk下面還有短短的手柄。這種disk有三種可能的用法。
1、用來做飯，disk無花紋面的碗剛好可以盛放食物，而手柄方便烹飪的時候移動disk。
2、用來當(dāng)鼓，往disk上蒙上獸皮，就可以形成一個腔體。人們可以一手持手柄，一手擊鼓。
3、用作鏡子。往無花紋面里到些液體，就可以當(dāng)鏡子用了。而且，這種用法很像古希臘的手持鏡子。
聽力部分：上用法都不可信
• 不可能用于烹飪的。想一想我們家里用的pans and pots，使用之后會blackend or discolored，因為長時間接觸高溫，炊具勢必會發(fā)黑。但是出土的200件disk中沒有一個出現(xiàn)了這種情況。
• 做鼓使用也不可能發(fā)出好聽的聲音。這中disk使用陶土制作，即使蒙上獸皮敲擊的聲音也遠(yuǎn)不如用獸皮和木頭制作的鼓好聽。此外，陶土制作的鼓非常沉，使用不便。
• 無法當(dāng)作鏡子。倒入液體后，disk就必須被水平放置，這樣人們可以彎腰照鏡子。但是被水平放置后，有花紋的那一面就看不見了。古希臘的鏡子是手持的，垂直拿在手里，這樣可以隨時看見鏡子的花紋。
范文：
About the function of disks, the reading mentions three hypotheses, which are refuted by the listening one by one with the following arguments.
The first possible function of disks, raised by the reading, is for cooking. The listening, however, is opposite to this point by further explaining that after being heated for a long time, cookers must be blackened or discolored, just like pans and pots at our home. But the fact is that among the 200 unearthed disks, none of them is blackened or discolored.
Regarding to the drum theory, the listening still disagrees with it. For one thing, it could not produce sound that is pleasing to ears for this kind of disk is made of clay, which, even though covered with hides, could not produce sound that is better than that produced by drums made of hides and wood. For another, drums made of clay are too heavy, making it much inconvenient to use. The listening, therefore, casts doubt on what the reading indicates.
Finally, the reading states that disks could serve as mirrors. This opinion is in sharp contrast with the belief in the listening that it is unlikely that disks are used as mirrors. After pouring liquid, disks must be laid horizontally. And people could look in the mirror by bending down. But the problem is that with the mirror being horizontal, the side which is decorated could not be seen. But the Greek mirrors are held by hands so that the decorative pattern is visible.
