22、Today, about 50% of people in the world wear glasses. But how much do you know about them?

No one knows who made the first set of glasses. However, it’s sure that they were first made in 13th century. Glasses showed up around the same time in northern Italy and China. Early glasses weren’t made of glass. That’s because most glass at that time was not clear, so it wouldn’t have worked well for glasses.

Glasses didn’t look much like modern glasses until the 1700s. That’s when people put ear stems (耳柄) to keep glasses on their faces. Around this time, reading and writing became more popular.

People didn’t start seeing eye doctors for glasses before the 1800s. At that time, they just tried on different pairs of glasses before they found one to make their eyesight better. Then eye doctors showed up and changed that. They gave an eye test for people to tell whether (是否) or not they needed a pair of glasses.

★ One big change was bifocal (双光眼镜) in 1784. This made glasses help people see things that are both far away and very near. Sunglasses are about as old as glasses. People in China started wearing sunglasses in the 12th century. Today, many people also wear contact lenses (隐形眼镜).

However, you should always take your contact lenses out at night. And some people wear glasses with no lenses at all. This is called fashion glasses. They come in many shapes and sizes to fit anyone’s personal style.

【1】How many kinds of glasses does the passage talk about in the passage?

A．Three.

B．Four.

C．Five.

D．six.

【2】What made people wear glasses more often in the 1700s?

A．Wearing glasses made people look better.

B．More and more people liked reading and writing.

C．People used ear stems to keep glasses on their faces.

D．People had better eyesight with the help of eye doctors.

【3】Which sentence can be put in ★?

A．New glasses come out every year.

B．Glasses have really changed our lives.

C．It’s important to choose the right glasses.

D．Glasses have changed since a long time ago.

【4】What is the main purpose(目的)of this passage?

A．To tell us the history of glasses.

B．To teach us how to choose glasses.

C．To show different kinds of glasses.

D．To make us know the importance of eyesight.

23、We often ask for information or help, especially(尤其) when we visit a foreign country. So knowing how to ask for information politely is important. In English, “Where are the restrooms?” and “Could you please tell me where the restrooms are?” are correct English, but the first could sound rude（粗鲁）. It’s important to use correct language, but sometimes we need to learn how to be polite（礼貌）.

In English, just like in Chinese, we change the way we speak when talking with different people. If you say to your teacher, “Where is my book?” This will sound rude. But if you say, “Excuse me, Mr West. Do you know where my book is?” Your question will sound much more polite. Of course it might be all right to say “Where is my book?” in some situations, perhaps with people you know well.

“Peter, lend me your pen.” can sound rude in English. Usually in English, polite questions are longer such as “Could you please…?” or “Can I ask…?” It sounds more polite to say, “Peter, could you please lend me your pen?” Sometimes we might even need to spend some time when you stop a stranger in the street. We might first say, “Excuse me. I wonder if you can help me” or “I’m sorry to trouble you but,” before asking them for help.

It might seem that speaking politely is more difficult than being direct(直接). However, in order not to offend(冒犯) people, learning about language etiquette(规矩) is just as important as learning grammar or vocabulary. And doing this will also help you become better at English, or any other language you wish to speak.

【1】What is the polite way when you ask for help?

A. Pass me the watch, Li Tao.

B. Where is the supermarket?

C. Tell me where I can find a bank.

D. Excuse me, how could I get to the book shop?

【2】Why do we need to learn polite language? Because _____.

A. they can improve our grammar and vocabulary

B. they can help us become better at English

C. everyone wants to be polite

D. the teachers tell us to do so

【3】What’s the main idea of the passage?

A. When and how to use correct language is important.

B. How to start a polite talking with strange people.

C. Correct language is as important as polite one.

D. People should learn to speak politely.

24、根据下面短文内容及部分首字母提示，在短文的空格处填上一个最恰当的词，使短文完整、通顺。

What is the life like in space? It is quite 【1】 from living on Earth. The following will show you the astronauts’ life in space.

●Eating in space

The foods that astronauts take with them do not look 【2】 the foods you eat. Some foods can be eaten just as they are, such as chocolate cakes and fruits. Other foods need adding water, such as cheese. Of course, they need an oven at the space station to heat the food.

● 【3】 in space

After a long day at work, nothing is better than a good night’s sleep! Just like on the earth, in space, astronauts go to bed at a certain time, then get up and p【4】 for work again. When going to sleep, they have to fix (固定) themselves in sleeping bags. Thus (因此), they don’t float (漂浮) around 【5】 hit (撞到) their bodies against something.

●Doing sports in space

Exercise is an important part of every astronaut’s daily life to stop muscle loss (肌肉萎缩). Usually, astronauts exercise two hours every day. Lifting (举起) 200 pounds (磅) on the earth may be a lot of work. 【7】, lifting that same object (物品) in space would be much easier.

Living in space is not just all work and no play. Astronauts have fun, too. They like to look out of the window and play with their food. Fun plays an important r【8】 in their lives.
