第1題答案：obsidian

對應(yīng)原文：第1段： Historians have discovered that a type of natural glass — obsidian — was first used as tips for spears.

答案解析：由于整篇文章按照時間順序進行寫作，根據(jù)題干中的early humans，我們可以直接定位到第1段。通過空前詞called判斷答案應(yīng)該為一個學(xué)術(shù)名詞，由此確定obsidian。

第2題答案：spears

對應(yīng)原文：第3段：… George Ravenscroft (1632—1688). He attempted to counter the effect of clouding that sometimes occurred in blown glass by introducing lead to the raw materials used in the process.

第7題答案：clouding

對應(yīng)原文：第3段：He attempted to counter the effect of clouding that sometimes occurred in blown glass

答案解析：根據(jù)1845與Mid-19th century的對應(yīng)定位到這句話。laws與Act同義替換，但從這句話中看不來法律具體有什么有關(guān)。直到下一句，“在那之前，玻璃制造被征以重稅”?？芍摲墒顷P(guān)于稅收的，由此確定taxes為答案。

第9題答案：TRUE

對應(yīng)原文：第5段：factory-owner HM Ashley introduced a machine … more than three times quicker than any previous production method.

第10題答案：FALSE

對應(yīng)原文：第5段：Michael Owens — founder of the Owens Bottle Machine Company

答案解析：Michael Owens是該公司的創(chuàng)始人，而非雇員。由此判斷答案為FALSE。

第11題答案：NOT GIVEN

對應(yīng)原文：無

答案解析：文章最后一段只是提到玻璃制造是門大生意，但找不到任何跟生產(chǎn)商有關(guān)的內(nèi)容。題目屬于無中生有，由此確定答案為NOT GIVEN。

第13題答案：FALSE

對應(yīng)原文：第7段：As less energy is needed to melt recycled glass than to melt down raw materials, this also saves fuel and production costs.

答案解析：原文中提到，融化回收的玻璃比融化原材料所需要的能量要少，可以節(jié)省燃料和生產(chǎn)成本。即生產(chǎn)回收玻璃更省錢。題干描述與此相反。由此確定答案為FALSE。
