Glass is a remarkable substance made from the simplest raw materials It can be colored or colorless,monochrome or polychrome, transparent, translucent, or opaque It is lightweight impermeable to liquids,readily cleaned and reused, durable yet fragile, and often very beautiful Glass can be decorated in multipleways and its optical properties are exceptional In all its myriad forms - as table ware, containers, inarchitecture and design - glass represents a major achievement in the history of technological developments.Since the Bronze Age about 3,000 B.C., glass has been used for making various kinds of objects Itwas first made from a mixture of silica, line and an alkali such as soda or potash, and these remained thebasic ingredients of glass until the development of lead glass in the seventeenth century When heated, themixture becomes soft and malleable and can be formed by various techniques into a vast array of shapesand sizes The homogeneous mass thus formed by melting then cools to create glass, but in contrast to mostmaterials formed in this way (metals, for instance), glass lacks the crystalline structure normally associatedwith solids, and instead retains the random molecular structure of a liquid In effect, as molten glass cools,

it progressively stiffens until rigid, but does so without setting up a network of interlocking crystalscustomarily associated with that process This is why glass shatters so easily when dealt a blow Why glassdeteriorates over time, especially when exposed to moisture, and why glassware must be slowly reheatedand uniformly cooled after manufacture to release internal stresses induced by uneven cooling

Another unusual feature of glass is the manner in which its viscosity changes as it turns from a coldsubstance into a hot, ductile liquid Unlike metals that flow or "freeze" at specific temperatures glassprogressively softens as the temperature rises, going through varying stages of malleability until it flowslike thick syrup Each stage of malleability allows the glass to be manipulated into various forms, bydifferent techniques, and if suddenly cooled the object retains the shape achieved at that point.

Glass is thus amenable to a greater number of heat-forming techniques than most other materials

Question 21 Why does the author list the characteristics of glass in lines 1-5?

A To demonstrate how glass evolved B To show the versatility of glass

C To explain glassmaking technology D To explain the purpose of each component

of glass

Question 22 The word "durable"' in line 3 is closest in meaning to _.

Question 23 What does the author imply about the raw materials used to make glass?

A They were the same for centuries B They are liquid C They are transparent D They are

very heavy

Question 24 According to the passage, how is glass that has cooled and become rigid different from mostother rigid substances? A It has an interlocking crystal network B It has an unusually low meltingtemperature

C It has varying physical properties D It has a random molecular structure.

Question 25 The word "customarily" in line 16 is closest in meaning to _.

A naturally B necessarily C usually D certainly

Question 26 The words "exposed to" in line 18 are closest in meaning to _.

A hardened by B chilled with C subjected to D deprived ofQuestion 27 What must be done to release the internal stresses that build up in glass products during

manufacture?

A the glass must be reheated and evenly cooled.

B B the glass must be cooled quickly

C The glass must be kept moist until cooled

D The glass must be shaped to its desired form immediately

Question 28 The word "induced" in line 20 is closest in meaning to _.

Question 29 The word "it" in line 21 refers to _.

Question 30 According to the passage, why can glass be more easily shaped into specific forms than canmetals

A It resists breaking when heated

B B It has better optical properties

C It retains heat while its viscosity changes

D Itgradually becomes softer as its temperature rises.

C are employed locally D take part in local activities

Question 52: As mentioned in the passage, commuters usually .

A talk to each other during train journeys B go to work at different hours

II TOPIC: Write an essay to discuss the benefits of doing exercise.

Health is considered to be the most valuable thing one possesses Improving health is always a prior task in one’s daily routine And the simplest, cheapest, but the most effective way to better one’s health is doing regular exercise.

One advantage of doing exercise is to reduce stress People who exercise are likely to feel more relaxed, healthier, and of course happier Doing regular exercise helps the body produce happy chemicals that make the exercisers reduce the worries about life and work as well as forget the boredom and unhappiness.

Another benefit exercising brings us is that we will feel more energetic to face and overcome our daily difficulties Doing exercise helps us reduce the possibilities of being ill, protects us from some fatal diseases as heart disease, cancers and diabetes Regular exercisers are believed to have healthier, happier and longer lives The other good thing is that doing exercise helps us feel more self-confident We know exactly what we can do or what abilities, talents we have We will think positively, do confidently, and lead

an optimistic life if we practice exercising regularly Controlling our weight effectively is another value Perspiration occurs when we exercise, which helps our bodies get rid of bad things inside Fats are burnt during our practicing exercise, which helps us to keep fit.

To sum up, doing exercise enables people to have good body-buildings, keep fit and brings exercisers many benefits Sparing time doing exercise will ensure us a longer, healthier and happier life.

II TOPIC: Write about a sporting event you saw recently.

Last Sunday at our school football field, a friendly football match was held Our school Female Students’ Football Team played against the neighboring school’s one.

It was a really nice Sunday morning then The football field where the match took place was previously well-decorated Red flags could be seen along the roads from our school gate passing the school play-ground to the gym then to the football ground, together with numerous slogans, posters, and of course pictures of the two teams and individual players Then came the most important moment of the day when the two teams entered the field from the changing rooms, following the two headmasters of the two schools, and the referees Spectators all burst into applauses to welcome the players As soon as the game began, spectators started cheering and shouting for one side or the other Others sang and danced, some even called out the players’ names with love and pride The crowd kept discussing and commentating happily.

On the first half, our team played much better to score two goal to lead the guest The football field seemed

to be filled with applauses and bravos when the first and then the second goal were scored by the two different home strikers The players of the two teams played so well that it made spectators forget the time

as the referee blew his whistle to finish the first half When the second half came the guest players played much better and scored a goal The players still played enthusiastically but no more goal was scored The match ended with the winning score of 2-1 for the home team.
