四、 阅读理解。
Now, glasses have become a daily necessity for some of us. So, what do you know about them? No one knows who made the first wearable pair of glasses, but experts do know that they were made in the 13th century and showed up in Italy.





Early glasses were like magnifying glasses(放大镜). And most of them weren’t even made of glass! Instead, many early eyeglasses contained quartz(石英). That’s because most glass at that time was not clear, so it wouldn’t have worked well for eyeglasses.
Eyeglasses didn’t look much like modern glasses until the 1700s. That was when people added temples(镜腿) to hold glasses on their faces. Glasses also became much more common around this time, probably because reading became more popular.





People didn’t start seeing eye doctors for glasses until the 1800s. At that time, they just tried on different pairs of glasses until they found one that made their eyesight better. Eye doctors changed that. They gave an eye test for people to tell whether or not they needed a pair of glasses.





Different kinds of glasses have also appeared. People in China started wearing sunglasses in the 12th century. These early sunglasses were also made of quartz. Today, many people also like to wear contact lenses(隐形眼镜), which were invented by a German in 1888. The first contact lenses were very uncomfortable. Luckily, today’s lenses are softer and can be worn all day. However, you should always take your contact lenses out at night. Some people even like to wear glasses with no lenses. Called fashion glasses, they come in many shapes and sizes to fit anyone’s personal style.





( D )1. What can we know about the early glasses in Paragraph 2?
A. They were made by Indians.
B. They were all made of glass.
C. They first showed up in India.
D. They were like magnifying glasses.
D





( C )2. What happened to glasses in the 1700s?
A. People in China started to wear sunglasses.
B. People started to see eye doctors for glasses.
C. People added temples to hold glasses on the face.
D. Eyeglasses didn’t look much like modern glasses.
C





( B )3. How many kinds of glasses are mainly introduced in Paragraph 5?
A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five.
( A )4. What does the text mainly talk about?
A. The history of glasses.
B. Different uses of glasses.
C. The importance of glasses.
D. The ways to choose glasses.

He produced a simple car. He sold the car at a low price that many Americans could afford. The car was easy to operate and became part of everyday life in the United States. Henry Ford put America on wheels.



Henry Ford was born on July 30,1863. He grew up on a farm, but he disliked farm work. He liked machines. At the age of 16, Ford got a job in a machine shop. In his spare time, he built engines. After years of experiments, Ford produced his first car in 1896.
Henry Ford founded a company in 1903. Ford wanted to produce large numbers of cars at low cost.
Ford set up factories that could make cars fast. As cars were being built on a line, each worker along the line did one set of tasks.



Workers often found their work boring. Many of them left after a short time. To keep his workers, Ford doubled the pay for his workers.
Ford started a charity, the Ford Foundation in 1936. When Ford died in 1947, he left most of his money to the Ford Foundation. The Ford Foundation is still giving money to help poor countries and areas.

E. Rubber was one of them, but people didn’t know its use at that time.



More than two thousand years ago, people began to use an umbrella on rainy days. 1.  C 
In 1823, Macintosh, an Englishman, invented the rubber(橡胶) raincoat.
Columbus, a well-known Italian traveller, found the New World of America in 1492. He brought a lot of things from South America to Europe. 2.  E , People found that rubber could be used as coats later.
