Passage 2
False teeth have been found in Italy in human heads that are over 2,500 years old．They were made of bone and set in gold．However，for hundreds of years afterwards，the apparent dental skill of those early people was lost．Without false teeth people looked old before their time，since so many lost their teeth at an early age．
Toward the end of the 17th century，rich people could buy false teeth made from ivory．The teeth were tied together with silk thread，but it was difficult to keep them in the mouth．That was why rich people would rather buy teeth from the poor who would often sell their teeth to buy food and clothing．
Early in the 18th century a French doctor used steel springs to hold teeth in place．However，it was difficult to close one's mouth！Late in the same century porcelain（瓷）teeth set in gold were often used to make false teeth．
Although the use of artificial teeth increased，human teeth continued to be used also．In the 19th century，teeth from soldiers killed in battle were made into artificial teeth．For example，teeth from the dead in the American Civil War were sent to England．
By the middle of the 19th century，an American doctor，Claudius Ash，invented a better kind of porcelain tooth made of a special kind of hard rubber．
1．When did people with the earliest false teeth live according to the passage？_____ A．At the end of the 17th century． B．In the early 18th century．
C．In the middle of the 19th century． D．Over 2,500 years ago．
1 C 2 C 3 D 4 B 5 C 2．Which material would wealthy people use to make artificial teeth in 1693？_____ A．Porcelain． B．Hard rubber． C．Ivory． D．Bone．
3．Who first used steel springs to tie false teeth together according to the passage？_____ A．An Italian doctor． B．A French doctor． C．An American doctor． D．An English doctor．
4．We can learn from the passage that _____．
A．one looked older than his real age with artificial teeth
B．we are using the same method as ancient people in making false teeth C．poor people would often sell their teeth to get money in the 17th century D．human teeth were no longer used in making false teeth after the 18th century 5．The passage is mainly about _____． A．the discovery of false teeth B．the material of false teeth C．the use of false teeth D．the history of false teeth 附参考答案 Passage2 题号 答案
Passage 3
More attention was paid to the quality of production in France at the time of Ren Coty．Charles Deschanel was then the financial minister．He stressed that workmanship and quality were more important than quantity for industrial production．It would be necessary to produce quality goods for the international market to compete with those produced in other countries．The French economy needed a larger share of the international market to balance its import and export trade．
French industrial and agricultural production was still inadequate to meet the immediate needs of the people，let alone long-ranged developments．Essential imports had stretched the national credit to the breaking point．Rents were tightly controlled，but the extreme inflation affected general population most severely through the cost of food．Food costs took as much as 80 percent of the workers' income．Wages，it is true，had risen．Extensive family allowances and benefits were paid by the state，and there was full-time and overtime employment．Taken together，these factors enabled the working class to exist but allowed them no sense of security．In this precarious（不安定的）and discouraging situation，workmen were willing to work overseas for higher wages．
The government was reluctant to let workers leave the country．It was feared that this migration of workers would deplete the labor force．The lack of qualified workers might hinder
1 D 2 C 3 B 4 C 5 D the improvement in the quality of industrial products produced．Qualified workers employed abroad would only increase the quantity of quality goods produced in foreign countries．Also the quantity of quality goods produced in France would not be able to increase as part of its qualified labor force moved to other countries．
1．According to the passage，the French workers were _____． A．willing to work overseas

C．took as much as 80 percent of the workers' income D．had doubled in two years
4．According to the passage，French production _____． A．was inadequate to meet the needs of the French people
B．was flooding the international market with inferior products
C．emphasized industrial production at the expense of agricultural production D．was enough for the local market
