Only in large glass windows. Glass bottles and jars that hold food and drink allow us to see the contents. Glass is used to make eyeglasses, microscopes, telescopes, and many other extremely useful and necessary things.Until the Second World War, most of the glass used for optical (光学的) instruments was imported from Europe. However, during the war Americans could not get European glass, and they were forced to make their own. Therefore, new kinds of glass were developed that had been previously unknown. These new effects were achieved by mixing other chemical elements with the sand. Some of the new glass is very strong and can resist many kinds of shocks. Legend (传说) has it that a kind of very hard glass was invented by a Roman who showed his discovery to the Emperor. When the Emperor saw the glass he feared that it would bee more valuable than gold and sliver, making his treasure worthless. Therefore, he had the glass-maker killed, and the secret was not discovered again for hundreds of years.In the present century, safety glass was invented for use in modem cars and planes. Safety glass is made by placing a layer of plastic between two layers of plate glass. When the outside layer of glass is broken, the pieces do not scatter (散开) and injure people. Some glass of the type is strong enough to resist bullets (子弹).Although nowadays plastics have replaced glass under conditions where glass might be easily broken, there are new uses being developed, for the greatest advantage of glass is that its ponent (组成的) parts are inexpensive and can be found all over the world.8. As time goes by glass_.A. is seen as more than decoration (装饰).B. is used to make things look pleasantC. is regarded as transparent (透明的).D. is widely used to replace steel in making containers9. Why did Americans make their own glass during the Second World War?A. They were able to make a new kind of glass.B. The glass made in Europe was out of date.C. They refused to use the European glass.D. The war blocked the way of glass import.10. Why does the author tell us the legend?A. To prove the Roman was the first inventor of hard glass.B. To give some information about hard glass.C. To support the Americans were as clever as the Romans.D. To provide a historical event concerned with hard glass.11. Why are new uses of glass being developed?A. Because glass is not as safe as plastics.B. Because glass is not as strong and durable as plastics.C. Because glass is cheap and easily found.D. Because glass is more and more widely used.【答案】8. A 9. D 10. B 11. C【解析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了玻璃的发展史。【8题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段Glass is used to make eyeglasses, microscopes, telescopes, and many other extremely useful and necessary things.可知，玻璃发展到现代，其用途已经不仅仅局限在装饰方面，所以答案是A。【9题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段However, during the war Americans could not get European glass, and they were forced to make their own. 可知在二战期间美国自己研制玻璃是因为战争阻碍了玻璃进口，所以答案是D。【10题详解】目的意图题。作者在第二段讲述了关于硬玻璃发明者的传说，是为了向读者介绍更多关于硬玻璃的信息，故选B。【11题详解】细节理解题。根据文章最后一句for the greatest advantage of glass is that its ponent (组成的) parts are inexpensive and can be found all over the world. 可知玻璃的用途被发展是因为玻璃容易获得，且不昂贵，所以答案是C。DParents can cut the chances of their children getting fat simply by keeping them longer at table. Just three minutes extra at a family mealtime could help prevent child obesity. Research found that among poor families, the extra minutes at mealtimes made great improvement of a normal weight for the youth. The factors are likely to be munication and the importance of a scheduled mealtime.Dr Barbara Fiese said, “Children, whose families have a 20-minute meal over four times a week, weigh less than kids who leave the table after 15 to 17 minutes. Over time, those extra minutes per meal add up and bee really powerful.”The researchers studied 200 family mealtimes, testing the effects of factors and mealtime behavior of families with children in primary school. They found that families, who said that shared mealtimes were an important part of family life and had special meaning for them, were less likely to have an obese child. Similarly, families, who talked more together and interacted more positively during the meal, were more likely to have healthy-weight children.Teaching low-ine families how to make the most of family mealtimes was a wise idea. Dr Fiese said, “This is something we can target and teach.” She added, “Its also important to recognize the increasing differences of families and their sometimes plex living arrangements that may challenge their abilities to plan ahead and arrange a single time to municate with each other.”Families in poorer US neighborhoods faced a lot of problems, including poor access to healthy food. But even so, regular high quality family mealtimes made a difference to the childrens weight. Dr Fiese said, “Three to four extra minutes per meal will make a healthy weight more possible.”12. According to the passage, to have a healthy-weight child, parents should _.A. limit the food for each meal B. increase their eating timeC. shorten the mealtime D. make them eat healthy food13. How much time is reasonable for one meal according to the passage?A. About 15 minutes. B. About 17 minutes.C. About 20 minutes. D. About 30 minutes.14. Why does a longer mealtime make a difference to a normal weight?A. Because people can have a good rest as they eat meals.B. Because people can have time to choose what they like.C. Because people can use mealtimes to do other things.D. Because people can municate more in the scheduled time.15. What does Dr Fiese suggest to us?A. Parents should not municate during mealtime.B. Its better to add three to four extra minutes to one meal.C. Four meals a day will make a difference to the childrens weight.D. Twenty extra minutes per meal make a healthy weight.【答案】12. B 13. C 14.
