A campaign (运动) marking 2022 as the International Year of Glass shows why glass has been important for thousands of years and highlights its many benefits to us today. Glass from the past Historians think that humans first made glass around 4, 500 years ago in Africa and Asia. Early glass was made by crushing quartz, a shiny rock-like mineral (矿物质) and mixing it with plant ash (灰尽). It was heated and washed, then mixed with more coloring minerals and heated again, which made glass expensive and rare. About 2, 000 years later, a technique called glass-blowing was invented. Glass objects like bottles and bowls could be made far more quickly and cheaply this way. Space glass The International Space Station (ISS) has a viewing deck for astronauts to look outside. It has seven tough glass windows that have shutters (百叶窗) to protect them from small rock particles (微粒) that float in space. The glass also uses heaters to keep out the cold of space. _____________ Glass will be with us for many years. It’s not only extremely useful, it also plays a part in helping the environment. Solar power--which is much better for Earth than burning coal, gas and oil--uses glass panels to convert sunlight into power. Glass can be reused, recycled and made into new products. It’s featuring in all sorts of brilliant inventions too, such as bendable (可弯曲的) glass, glass sunroofs. that use solar power to drive vehicles, and mirrors that check the health of the-person Glass solar power panels. reflected.

After learning about the life of the master poet who lived about 1, 300 years ago in the historical documentary Li Bai on CCTV-9, many young Chinese viewers have taken to talking about pursuing (追求) their dreams on social media.
In BBC’s Du Fu: China’s Greatest Poet, a historian said, “Du’s poems are as important in Chinese literary history as Shakespeare is to people in Britain.” This remark can also be used for Li Bai’s. poems. Living in the Tang Dynasty during the “Golden Age of Chinese Poetry”, Li used his talent to push poetry to a new height.
“If Du Fu is the greatest poet in China, then Li Bai is the most talented poet in the history of Chinese poetry,” an expert in ancient Chinese literature told the Global Times.
Much of Li’s life is reflected in his poems: his romance, heroism, and freedom while traveling around the mountains and rivers of China, and his unvalued and tough career path. He saw the Tang Dynasty’s amazing prosperity (繁荣), and dreamed about being an excellent officer to serve the court, but experienced challenge after challenge until his death.
Li Bai has won great fame among Chinese netizens (网民). ★ A young netizen asked a question, “What would we do if our dreams couldn’t be reached, just like Li’s ” Some netizens wrote that unlike Li, they might change to another dream in order not to give themselves too much pressure or unhappiness, while other netizens said they would choose to hold on straight to the end.
“Many people who like Li Bai’s poems actually like the spirit he expressed —the spirit of never giving up and dreaming about contributing (做贡献) to society, just like many young people who have the same dream in this era,” an expert in ancient Chinese literature said.
61. The writer mentioned Shakespeare in paragraph 2 in order to ____________.
A. praise Shakespeare’s popularity B. describe Li Bai’s life
C. show the importance of Li Bai’s poems D. explain Shakespeare’s poems
62. The underlined word “tough” in paragraph 4 means ____________.
A. strong B. difficult C. smooth D. unexpected
63. Which of the following can be put in ★
A. He has challenged their life B. They try to realize their dreams
C. His life has interested them D. They are interested in poetry
64. We know from the last paragraph that people like Li Bai’s poems because ____________.
A. he had a specific dream in his mind
B. he made great contribution to the society
C. he did well in serving the court
D. his spirit expressed in the poems inspired them
65. What would be the best title for the passage
A. Go on with Your Dream B. Try to Be a Happy Traveler
C. Learn More Li Bai’s Poems D. Contribute to Society
