Stores display their goods 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 objects.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 glasses were developed that had been previously unknown. These new effects were achieved by mixing other chemical elements with the sand. Some of these new glasses are very strong and can resist many kinds of shocks. Legend has it that a 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 become more valuable than gold and sliver, making his treasure worthless. Therefore, he had the glassmaker killed, and the secret was not discovered again for hundreds of years.In the present century, safety glass was invented for use in modern 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 component(组成的) parts are inexpensive and can be found all over the world.8As time goes by, glass _.A. is regarded as transparent(透明的)B. is used to make things look pleasantC. is seen as more than decorationD. is widely used to replace steel in making containers9Why did Americans make their own glass during the Second World War?A. The war blocked the way of glass import.B. The glass made in Europe was out of date.C. They refused to use the European glass.D. They were able to make a new kind of glass.10Why does the author tell us the legend?A. To prove the Roman was the first inventor of hard glass.B. To support the Americans were as clever as the Romans.C. To give some information about hard glass.D. To provide a historical event concerned with hard glass.11Why are new uses of glass being developed?A. Because glass is not as safe as plastics.B. Because glass is cheap and easily obtainable.C. Because glass is not as strong and durable as plastics.D. Because glass is more and more widely used.D “Beating is a sign of affection，cursing (骂) is a sign of love.”Many may not expect to hear the words of the old Chinese saying in these modern timeswith parents wealthier and better educated than they have ever beenbut experts say they still ring true.Today，it seems，Chinese parents are more likely to send their children to precollege military academies in the United States in the hope that some tough love will pave the way to success.“Good education doesnt mean letting your children enjoy privileges，especially our boys.” said Song Wenming，an entrepreneur (企业家) in Jinhua，East Chinas Zhejiang province. “They should be raised in tough conditions to know what to fight for in the future.”In August，Song sent his 17yearold son to Valley Forge Military Academy (VFMA) in Pennsylvania. And he is far from alone，even though it takes a lot of moneyaround $48,000 per yearto send a child to a strict military school.Statistics show that an increasing number of Chinese students have been registering with such academies.A few years ago，there were no Chinese students at Valley Forge. Today，there are 28. “All of the Chinese students at Valley Forge came from wealthy families；some of them were spoiled.” said Jennifer Myers，director of marketing and communications at the school.Songs only son，Song Siyu，had a rocky start during his first six weeks at the school. The teenager said he went to the school voluntarily but did not expect it to be as difficult.Now，three months later，he has perfected the art of taking a bath in 35 seconds，finishing a meal without looking at his food，and making his bed with precision. He can even take criticism，no matter how unreasonable.“The training is hard but I know it is good for selfdevelopment of individuals.” said Song Siyu. “The endless training and scolding are just ways to build up our character；they are not personal.”But his enthusiasm is not universal. Ten of the 13 Chinese students who joined the academy this year have transferred to other schools.But for those who stick with it，there is a reward for all the hard work.12From the second paragraph，we can know the old Chinese saying _.Ais out of date in modern timesBis disagreed by rich parentsCis still worth trustingDis deeply believed by better educated parents13The underlined sentence means that _.ASong sent his only son to military school，so he feels lonelyBSong is the only one who sends his child to military schoolCthere are other people sending their children to military school besides SongDthe fee of the military school is so high that only Song can afford it14Song Siyu got some achievements in the military school except _.Ataking a bath in a short timeBimproving his characterCtaking unreasonable criticismDhaving his meal with his eyes closed15Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?AIts likely that more and more Chinese students will attend VFMA.BMost Chinese parents approve of educating their children by beating and cursing nowadays.CSong Siyu had no difficulty in adjusting to the life at VFMA.DMost Chinese students support the way of education at VFMA.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）Health Mistakes to Avoid making When Traveling Everyone is talking about amazing traveling experiences.
