题目：
阅读部分：出土了一种用陶土做的disk，一面有花纹，一面没花纹。没花纹那面周围有一圈凸起刚好形成了一个浅浅的碗。disk下面还有短短的手柄。这种disk有三种可能的用法。
1、用来做饭，disk无花纹面的碗刚好可以盛放食物，而手柄方便烹饪的时候移动disk。
2、用来当鼓，往disk上蒙上兽皮，就可以形成一个腔体。人们可以一手持手柄，一手击鼓。
3、用作镜子。往无花纹面里到些液体，就可以当镜子用了。而且，这种用法很像古希腊的手持镜子。
听力部分：上用法都不可信
• 不可能用于烹饪的。想一想我们家里用的pans and pots，使用之后会blackend or discolored，因为长时间接触高温，炊具势必会发黑。但是出土的200件disk中没有一个出现了这种情况。
• 做鼓使用也不可能发出好听的声音。这中disk使用陶土制作，即使蒙上兽皮敲击的声音也远不如用兽皮和木头制作的鼓好听。此外，陶土制作的鼓非常沉，使用不便。
• 无法当作镜子。倒入液体后，disk就必须被水平放置，这样人们可以弯腰照镜子。但是被水平放置后，有花纹的那一面就看不见了。古希腊的镜子是手持的，垂直拿在手里，这样可以随时看见镜子的花纹。
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.
