Glass can be seen in almost all the windows. Although glass is transparent(透明的), it has lots of disadvantages: it is heavy, breaks easily and can lose heat. What's more, glass making creates a great deal of pollution. In recent years, scientists have been trying to find greener materials to replace glass.
Last October, scientists from America said they had designed “transparent wood” that could replace glass in windows.
They used wood from the balsa tree, which is native to South and Central America. First, they put the wood in an oxidizing bath(氧化剂) that can help make the wood take off color. Then they penetrated(注入) a kind of new material—creating a product that is transparent.
Transparent wood made from balsa wood is much stronger than glass and isn't fragile(易碎的). So it is much safer than glass. Also, it is lighter than traditional glass, which greatly reduces its transportation burden(负担). What's more, windows with transparent wood can not only be transparent, but also help stop losing heat. More importantly, the cost of producing transparent wood is lower, and producing transparent wood can create little pollution. The balsa tree is one of the fastest growing trees on the earth. So people can get enough balsa wood to produce transparent wood.
Maybe windows with transparent wood will be seen everywhere in the near future.
( )26.How many disadvantages of glass are mentioned in the passage
A．Two. B．Three. C．Four. D．Five.
( )27.Why is transparent wood safer than glass
A．Because it is much lighter.
B．Because it is not broken easily.
C．Because it's made of wood.
D．Because it is more environment friendly.
( )28.Which of the following is the writer's view
A．People will use transparent wood to keep warm.
B．Scientists will know more about transparent wood.
C．More balsa trees will be cut down soon.
D．Windows with transparent wood will be widely used.
( )29.What's the best title of the passage
A．Transparent wood
B．A kind of new glass
C．Environment friendly glass
D．An important invention

How do we know the time A clock, a watch or a mobile phone can help us. However, many years ago there were no clocks and knowing the time was not so easy. Over the centuries people have developed different ways of telling the time.
About 5,500 years ago, the Egyptians invented the sun clock. This was a tall stone building. Its shadow(影子) showed the movement of the sun. So people were able to know midday. The Egyptians made a sundial about 3,500 years ago. It was smaller than the sun clock and could let people know the time for half a day. On cloudy days or at night it was impossible to tell the time with a sun clock or a sundial. Water clocks were the first clocks not to use the sun. The idea is simple. Water flows(流动) from one bottle to another. When the water reaches a certain level, it shows the hours. The Egyptians used water clocks about 3,400 years ago. These clocks were popular in the Middle East and China. But they failed to make people know the exact time.
In the 13th century, the mechanical clock was invented. This was more exact, but it was expensive to make one. Over the next few centuries it was developed. For example, springs(发条) were added around 1500. This enabled people to get the correct time and allowed clocks to be smaller. In 1927, the first quartz clock was developed. Clocks became cheaper to build. It was also cheaper for ordinary people to own a clock. People began depending on them more and more to run business, markets and so on. More recently, in 1956, came the digital clock. And nowadays satellites send our mobile phones the time to the exact second.
There has been a lot of progress in timekeeping. Clocks are always changing but some things never change. Many of us still have trouble getting out of bed on time and not being late for school or work.
( )16.According to the passage, we can't use to tell the time on a rainy day.
A.the water clock B.the sun clock
C.the digital clock D.the mechanical clock
( )17.The underlined word “ordinary” in the third paragraph means “ ” in Chinese.
A.现代的 B.特殊的 C.富有的 D.普通的
( )18. kinds of clocks are mentioned in the passage.
A.Four B.Five C.Six D.Seven
