26、ER SHEET._To us it seems so natural to put up an umbrella to keep the water off when it rains. But actually the umbrella was not invented as protection against rain. Its first use was as a shade against the sun. Nobody knows who first invented it, but the umbrella was used in very ancient times. Pro

27、bably the first to use it were the Chinese, and it was back in the eleventh century B. C. We know that the umbrella was used in ancient Egypt and Babylon as a sunshade. And there was a strange thing connected with its use: it became a symbol of honor and authority. In the Far East in ancient times,

28、the umbrella was allowed to be used only by royalty or by those in high offices. In Europe, the Greeks were the first to use the umbrella as a sunshade. And the umbrella was in common use in ancient Greece. But it is believed that the first persons in Europe to use the umbrella as protection against

29、 rain were the ancient Romans. During the Middle Ages, the use of the umbrella practically disappeared. Then it appeared again in Italy in the late sixteenth century. And again it was considered a symbol of power and authority. By 1680, the umbrella appeared in France and later on in England. By the

30、 eighteenth century, the umbrella was used against rain throughout most of Europe. Umbrellas have not changed much in style during all this time, though they have become much lighter in weight. It wasnt until the twentieth century that womens umbrellas began to be made in a whole variety of colors.（

31、分数：6.00）(1).The first use of umbrella was as_.（分数：2.00）A.protection against rainB.a shade against the sunC.a symbol of powerD.a symbol of honor(2)._were the people who first used umbrellas.（分数：2.00）A.ChineseB.RomansC.GreeksD.Egyptians(3).The umbrella was used only by royalty or by those in high offi

32、ces_.（分数：2.00）A.in Europe in the 18th centuryB.in ancient Egypt and BabylonC.in the Far East in ancient timesD.during the Middle AgesAmericans have a great love for informality and nowhere is this better expressed than in their love for nicknames (昵称、绰号). Upon greeting strangers for the first time t

33、hey will quickly introduce themselves by their nickname. These are shortened forms of their given name at birth and reflect the casual relationships which exist among friend sand coworkers. Family names are hardly ever used in daily situations and the use of ones fathers last name is saved only for

34、rare and formal occasions. In many traditional cultures the use of the family name is seen as a sign of respect. For Americans, however, its the nickname which creates an immediate intimacy between two people upon which to build a relationship. By speaking to another on a first name basis and using

35、his nickname, walls are immediately torn down and equality between two people is established. At work bosses will refer to their employees by their nicknames. Should an employer use a workers family name, you can be sure that some kind of correction or serious business will follow. This love for nic

36、knames can create a sense of closeness between people who are otherwise not related. Even the presidents of the United States have borne nicknames. Abraham Lincoln was known as Honest Abe. John F. Kennedy was known as Jack or JFK and William Clinton has no reservations in letting people know he pref

37、ers to be called Bill, but those who look upon him with disfavor may call him Slick Willy. Not only people but cities often carry their own nicknames. Chicago is called the “Windy City“ because of the strong winds which come down from Canada throughout the year. New York City is considered the “Big

38、Apple“ for reasons which are still obscure to most people including many New Yorkers. Not every nickname, however, is positive and some can be rather rude and insulting. If someone should demonstrate a certain negative characteristic, a label will soon be attached to describe that person in an unple

39、asant way. Likewise a persons physical traits which are very dominant may lead to nicknames but not necessarily to ones liking or choice. A nickname, therefore, is a way of identifying or describing someone or something for better or worse.（分数：10.00）(1).Why do Americans prefer to use nicknames when

40、addressing one another?（分数：2.00）A.Nicknames are easy to remember.B.Americans are a friendly people.C.Nicknames are convenient to use in daily life.D.Nicknames help build a closer relationship.(2).Americans tend to use others family names_.（分数：2.00）A.in the work placeB.when writing lettersC.on formal

41、 occasionsD.when making phone calls(3).Many traditional societies see the use of ones family name as a sign of_.（分数：2.00）A.distanceB.respectC.importanceD.gratitude(4).An American employer is likely to use a workers family name when_.（分数：2.00）A.the worker is to get a promotionB.he speaks to the worke

42、r at a gatheringC.the worker has done something wrongD.he is being friendly with the worker(5).In Paragraph 5, the word “obscure“ is closest in meaning to “_“.（分数：2.00）A.unclearB.soundC.funnyD.popularIn the United States, it is not customary to telephone someone very early in the morning. If you tel

43、ephone him early in the day, while he is shaving or having breakfast, the time of the call shows that the matter is very important and requires immediate attention. The same meaning is attached to telephone calls made after 11: 00 p. m If someone receives a call during sleeping hours, he assumes its

44、 a matter of life and death. The time chosen for the call communicates its importance. In social life, time plays a very important part. In the U. S. A. guests tend to feel they are not highly regarded if the invitation to a dinner party is extended only three or four days before the party date. But

45、 it is not true in all countries. In other areas of the world it may be considered foolish to make an appointment too far in advance because plans which are made for a date more than a week away tend to be forgotten. The meaning of time differs in different parts of the world. Thus, misunderstanding

46、s arise between people from cultures that treat time differently; promptness (准时) is valued highly in American life, for example. If people are not prompt, they may be regarded as impolite or not fully responsible. In the U. S. no one would think of keeping a business friend waiting for an hour; it

47、would be too impolite. A person who is 5 minutes late is expected to make a short apology. If he is less than 5 minutes late, he will say a few words of explanation, though perhaps he will not complete the sentence.（分数：12.00）(1).“The same meaning is attached to telephone calls made after 11: 00 p. m.“ Here “attached“ means_.（分数：2.00）A.takenB.drawnC.givenD.shown(2).Supposing one wants to make a telephone call at midnight, this would mean_.（分数：2.
