These books of clay , (43) they had been dried and fired in an oven , could last (44) as long as stone . Such books will not (45 ) up in a fire nor be spoiled by wetness ; nor will they be (46 ) by mice or rats . It is true that they could be (47 ) , but the broken pieces of the book can be (48 ) and fitted together . The Englishman had to work a very long (49 ) with broken sheets which have been discovered there before he got them all put together (50 ).

Every book was made (51) many sheets , as our books have many leaves . It was , of course , (52) to sew them together as we (53) now with our books . So all the clay sheets had to be (54 ) and the name of the book had to be placed on (55).

第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题，每题2分，满分40分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
A
How old is “old” ? The answer has changed over the years . Two hundred years ago , you were 35 . That was the average life span then . At the turn of this century , as medical knowledge advanced , the average life span increased to 45. In 1950 , 70-year-olds were really old . Today , a healthy 70-year-old is looking forward to many more active years .
So how old is old ? The answer is one you’ve heard many times , from all sorts of people . “You are as old (or young ) as you feel .” The calendar simply tells you how many years you have lived . Your body tells you how well you’ve lived .
Old is a point of view . Alice Trophy said , “It makes me angry when people say , ‘Gee , you look young for your age ,’ What does that mean ? Is there some model that you’re supposed to look a certain way at 65 and 75 and 85 ? You know you can die old at 30 and live young at 80 .”
There are many myths (谜)about aging (becoming old ). Here are some of the more common myths and the facts .
Myth 1: Most older people are in poor health .
Fact 1: Not so . There are neither biological nor physiological reasons to connect poor health with growing older . Older people are more likely to be affected with illness but old age itself is not a disease . It is possible to remain physically healthy throughout your life .
Myth 2: Older people are unable to change .
Fact 2: Older people are as easily changed in their life-styles as young and middle-aged people .Though sometimes they deal with the very big pressures ——death of loved ones or jobs , financial or jobs , financial or family problems——they deal wonderfully well . Older people give up smoking and break other bad habits just as , successfully as younger people .
56．The article is mainly about .
A．the average life span B．aging
C．people’s health D．life myths
57．We may know from the article that .
A．aging does not mean you become unhealthy
B．older people are not as smart as young people
C．most older people are physically healthy
D．your health can tell you how many years you have lived
58．The reason why Alice Troph got angry was that .
A．she didn’t think she looked young for her age
B．she hates being thought old
C．she was 65 but people thought she was 85
D．there wasn’t a model to follow to judge one’s age
59．Which of the following does the second fact support ?
A．Older people have more pressures than younger people .
B．Younger people break old habits more easily .
C．Older people are not too fixed to change for new needs .
D．Younger and middle-aged people have the same problems as older people .
B
The small unframed painting called “Fisherman” was signed by a little-known Italian artist , Maveleone (1669-1740). When it was sold recently in New York for $27000, the seller , Mr Oliver Pitt , was asked to explain how the picture had come into his possession .
Pitt said, “I didn’t know it was so valuable . I’m not an art expert . Photography is my hobby . I bought ‘Fisherman’ in Italy in 1970 for $ 140 . The picture was dirty , and I couldn’t see the artist’s signature . But anyway it wasn’t the picture that I liked I bought it because of the frame .”
“It’s a most unusual frame , made of tiny , silvery sea-shells(贝壳).They are set in such a way that they reflect perfect light onto the surface of a picture . I now have a photograph of my wife in that frame , and I’ll never part with it .”
“When I returned to New York I showed the painting in its frame to a customs officer . I told him that I had paid $140 for it but admitted I didn’t know its actual worth .The customs man valued it at $140 , and I was asked to pay duty on that value . I did so , there and then .”
“Later , I took off the frame , and that uncovered Maveleone’s signature . My wife suggested in fun that the painting might be a valuable one , so I cleaned it and put it up for sale .”
As a result of this explanation, Oliver Pitt had to appear in court . He was accused of (指控)knowingly making a false statement of the value of a picture so as to cheat the Customs Department .
Pitt was not happy . “I told the truth as I knew it then ,” he said , “What else could I say ?”
And then the judge agreed with him .” The Customs Department is to be responsible ( blame ) ,” he said , “for making a true valuation of goods bought into the country , so that the correct amount of duty may be charged . Mr Pitt did not cause or try to cause the mistake that was made . He paid the duty that was demanded . If , now , the Customs Department finds that its valuation was not correct , it cannot be allowed to have another try . Pitt is not guilty (有罪).
60．Pitt met the customs officer , where the officer was employed to .
A．at the railway station or airport ; examine people’s baggage
B．at the airport or part ; examine people’s baggage
C．at the bus-stop ; help people enter the USA
D．at the airport or port ; help people enter the USA
61．From the passage we can infer that if Maveleone had been a well-known artist .
A．the painting would have cost much more than $ 140
B．he wouldn’t have sold his painting at such a low price
C．the customs officer wouldn’t have valued the painting at $ 140
D．Pitt wouldn’t have had the intention to buy any of his paintings
62．Pitt took off the frame in order to .
A．clean the painting to put it up for sale
B．look for the artist’s signature
C．use it for his wife’s photograph
D．find the painting’s true value
63．Which of the following statements is true to the story ? In the end .
A．Pitt was asked to pay the correct amount of duty
B．Pitt sold the frame of the painting at an even higher price
C．The Customs Department had no right to revalue the painting
D．Pitt’s wife was regarded as an expert because of her wise suggestion
C
When buying a new house , you must be sure to have it checked for termites (白蚁). A termite is much like an ant in its communal (群居的)habits , although physically the two insects are different .
Like those of ants , termite colonies consist of different classes , with its own particular job . The most perfectly formed termites , both male and female , make up the reproductive class . They have eyes , hard body walls and fully developed wings . A pair of reproductive termites founds the colony . When new reproductive termites develop , they leave to form another colony . They use their wings only this one time and then break them off .
The worker termites are small , blind , and wingless , with soft bodies . They make up the majority of the colony and do all the work . Soldiers are also wingless and blind but are larger than the workers and have hard heads and strong jaws and legs . They defend the colony and are cared for by the workers .
The male and female of the reproductive class remain inside a closed-in cell where the female lays thousands of eggs .The workers place the eggs in cells and care for them .
64．How are termites like ants ?
A．they live in communities , and each class has a specific duty .

When a consumer (消费者)finds that something he or she bought is faulty or in some other way does not live up to what the producer says for it , the first step is to present the warranty (保单), any other records that might help , at the store of buying . In most cases , this action will produce results . However , if it does not , there are various means the consumer may use to gain satisfaction .
A simple and common method used by many consumers is to complain directly to the store manager . In general , the “higher up” the consumer takes his or her complaint , the faster he or she can expect it to be settled . In such a case , it is usually settled in the consumer’s favour , taking it as true that he or she has a just right .
Consumers should complain in person whenever possible , but if they cannot get to the place of buying , it is acceptable to phone or write the complain in a letter . Complaining is usually most effective when it is done politely but firmly , and especially when the consumer can show clearly what is wrong with what was bought in question . If this cannot be done ,the consumer will succeed best by presenting specific information as to what is wrong , rather than by making general statements . For example , “The left speaker does not work at all and the sound coming out of the right one is unclear” is better than “This stereo (立体音响) does not work”.
The store manager may advise the consumer ot write to the producer , if so , the consumer should do this , stating the complaint as politely and as firmly as possible . But if a polite complaint does not achieve the expected result , the consumer can go a step further . He or she can threaten (恐吓) to take the seller to court or report the seller to a public organization responsible for protecting consumer’s right .
68．If a consumer wants a quick settlement of his problem , it’s better to complain to .
A．a shop assistant B．the producer
C．a public organization D．a store manager
69．The most effective complaint about what was bought can be made by .
A．showing the fault of it to the producer
B．saying firmly it is of poor quality
C．asking politely to change it
D．explaining exactly what is wrong with it
70．The passage tells us .
A．how to make the complaint have a good effect
B．how to settle a consumer’s complaint
C．how to avoid buying something wrong
D．how to deal with complaints from consumers
71．According to the passage , the last way a consumer has to use is .
A．to write to the producer
B．to quarrel with the manager
C．to warn the seller that he or she will turn to the court or a consumers’ organization for help
D．to collect several fighters to threaten the seller
