The iPhone was released in 2007. E-books reached the mainstream in the late 1990s. Printed books have
been around since the 1450s. But how did writing move around before then? After all, a book - electronic
or not - is simply a mechanism for making written information portable. And our ancestors were as eager
to take their reading on the go as we are. Here are some ways that people used to record information and
carry it around.
In Mesopotamia, in the 3rd millennium BCE, various ancient peoples began scribbling on small tablets
that were several inches long. Scribes used a stylus to make marks on wet clay tablets, w hich were then
dried outside or baked so as to make them long-lasting. Some particularly important texts ran across
multiple tablets. The type of writing used by these scribes was cuneiform, and it sustained the production
of these tablets for some 2,000 years.
The Chinese also created tablets that were made from bamboo or wood and were lashed together with
the equivalent of rope. Records suggest that these may have emerged by 1300 BCE, if not before, but
many simply rotted away or otherwise decayed. The emperor Shihuangdi also didn’t help in 213 BCE
when he ordered that most books not in his possession be burned. During roughly the same time, the
Chinese also created scrolls made of silk, though these scrolls were not always rolled into a cylindrical
form; some of the documents written on silk that were found, for example, at Mawangdui, an
archaeological site in southeastern China that dates to the 2nd century BCE, were found folded into
rectangles. The texts on these tablets and scrolls covered a wide range of topics, from medicine to poetry
to philosophy.
Wax tablets were a riff on the ancient Mesopotamian clay tablets, courtesy of the ancient Greeks and
Romans. Clay tablets could be awkward to work with; papyrus could be a pain to prepare and store. But
filling a wooden block with hot wax that, after it cooled, provided a smooth soft writing surface? Simple.
And cheap too. Permanence was a bit of a problem, but it was also an advantage: the wax could be
remelted or scraped smooth, and the tablet was ready for use again. The Greeks and the Romans, and
medieval Europeans after them, used these tablets for some important legal documentation, but their
primary advantage was flexibility—very much like a paper (or electronic) tablet today.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions from 35 to 42.
What geologists call the Basin and Range Province in the United States roughly coincides in its
northern portions with the geographic province known as the Great Basin. The Great Basin is surrounded
on the west by the Sierra Nevada and on the east by the Rocky Mountains; it has no outlet to the sea. The
prevailing winds in the Great Basin are from the west. Warm, moist air from the Pacific Ocean is forced
upward as it crosses the Sierra Nevada. At the higher altitudes it cools and the moisture it carries is
precipitated as rain or snow on the western slopes of the mountains. That which reaches the Basin is air
wrung dry of moisture. What little water falls there as rain or snow, mostly in the winter months,
evaporates on the broad, flat desert floors. It is, therefore, an environment in which organism battle for
survival. Along the rare watercourses, cottonwoods and willows eke out a sparse existence. In the upland
ranges, pinion pines and junipers struggle to hold their own.
But the Great Basin has not always been so arid. Many of its dry, closed depressions were once filled
with water. Owens Valley, Panamint Valley, and Death Valley were once a string of interconnected lakes.
The two largest of the ancient lakes of the Great Britain were Lake Lahontan and Lake Bonneville. The
Great Salt Lake is all that remains of the latter, and Pyramid Lake is one of the last briny remnants of the
former.
There seem to have been several periods within the last tens of thousands of years when water
accumulated in these basins. The rise and fall of the lakes were undoubtedly linked to the advances and
retreats of the great ice sheets that covered much of the northern part of the North American continent

during those times. Climatic changes during the Ice Ages sometimes brought cooler, wetter weather to
mid-latitude deserts worldwide, including those of the Great Basin. The broken valleys of the Great Basin
provided ready receptacles for this moisture.
Question 35: What is the geographical relationship between the Basin and Range Province and the Great
Basin?
A. The Great Basin is in the northern part of the Basin and Range Province.
B. The Great Basin is west of the Basin and Range Province.
C. The Great Basin is larger than the Basin and Range Province.
D. The Great Basin is mountainous; the Basin and Range Province is flat desert.
Question 36: According to the passage, what does the Great Basin lack?
A. Dry air B. Access to the ocean
C. Winds from the west D. Snow
Question 37: The word “prevailing” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to .
A. most frequent B. occasional C. gentle D. most dangerous
Question 38: It can be inferred that the climate in the Great Basin is dry because .
A. the winds are not strong enough to carry moisture
B. the weather patterns are so turbulent
C. the altitude prevents precipitation
D. precipitation falls in the nearby mountains
Question 39: Why does the author mention Owens Valley, Panamint Valley, and Death Valley in the
second paragraph?
A. To give examples of depressions that once contained water.
B. To explain their geographical formation.
C. To compare the characteristics of the valleys with the characteristics of the lakes.
D. To explain what the Great Britain is like today.
Question 40: The word “the former” in paragraph 2 refer to .
A. Lake Lahontan B. Lake Bonneville
C. The Great Salt Lake D. Pyramid Lake
Question 41: The word “accumulated” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to .
