Choose the best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer sheet./BBPassage One/BTo us it seems so natural to put up an umbrella to keep the water off when it rains, but a
17、ctually 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. Probably the Chinese were the first to use it in the eleventh century B. C.We know that the umbrella was
18、 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, the umbrella was allowed to be used only by the king or by those in high office.In Europe, the Greeks were the first to
19、 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 the rain were the ancient Romans. During the Middle Ages, the use of the umbrella practically disappeared. Then it appe
20、ared 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 18th century the umbrella was used against rain throughout most of Europe. Umbrella did not change much in style du
21、ring all this time, though they became much lighter in weight. It was not until the twentieth century that womens umbrellas were made, in a whole variety of colors.（分数：12.00）(1).According to this passage, the umbrella was probably first invented（分数：3.00）A.in ancient ChinaB.in ancient EuropeC.in anci
22、ent GreeceD.in ancient Rome(2).Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE about the umbrella?（分数：3.00）A.The umbrella was first invented to be used as protection against the sun.B.The umbrella changed much in style in the eighteenth century.C.No one exactly knows who was the inventor of the umbrel
23、la.D.In Europe, the Greeks were the first to use the umbrella.(3).A strange feature of the umbrellas use is that it was used as_.（分数：3.00）A.a shade against the sunB.protection against rainC.a symbol of honor and powerD.womens decoration(4).This passage talks mainly about（分数：3.00）A.why the umbrella w
24、as so popular in EuropeB.when and how the umbrella was inventedC.the history and the use of umbrellaD.the development of the umbrellaBPassage Two/BParents have to do much less for their children than they used to do, and home has become much less of a workshop. Clothes can be bought ready made; wash
25、ing can be done at the laundry; food can be bought cooked, canned; bread is baked and delivered by the baker; milk arrives on the doorstep; meal can be had at the restaurant, the Uworks canteen/U, and the school dining room.Its unusual now for father to pursue(追求)his trade of other employment at hom
26、e, and his children rarely, if ever, see him at his place of work. Boys are therefore seldom trained to follow their fathers business, and in many towns they have a fairly wide choice of employment and so do girls. The young wage-earner often earns good money, and soon gains a feeling Of economic in
27、dependence (经济上的独立). In textile areas it has been customary for mothers to go out to work, but this practice has become so widespread that the working mother is now not an unusual factor in a childs home life, the number of married women in employment having more than doubled in the last twenty- fiv
28、e years. With mother earning and older children drawing wages, father is seldom the most important figure that he still was at the beginning of the century. When mother works, economic advantages increase, but children lose something of great value if mothers employment prevents her from being home
29、to greet them when they return from school.（分数：12.00）(1).The words “works canteen“ is_.（分数：3.00）A.a food shopB.a cafeC.a restaurantD.a cafeteria(自助餐厅)(2).The main reason that boys are seldom trained to follow their fathers business is_.（分数：3.00）A.that children also like to have jobs outsideB.that th
30、ere is a wide choice of employment for childrenC.that father do not like to pursue employment at home anymoreD.that children nowadays rarely see their places of work(3).What makes father no longer be the most important in a family?（分数：3.00）A.Father does much less for his children today than he used
31、to.B.The number of married women in employment has increased now.C.There are many choices of employment for mothers and children.D.With their earning, mother and children do not need to depend on father for their life.(4).It is implied in the passage that_.（分数：3.00）A.mothers have the practice to go
32、to workB.working mothers have no time to stay with their children at homeC.mothers position in a family has been raisedD.young wage-earners are economically independentBPassage Three/BIn this game you are in a tank and the screen shows your outside view. You gain points by shooting enemy tanks, supe
33、rtanks, missiles(导弹) and saucers(飞碟).Experts gain scores of around 150,000 points at this game. To get a high score you have to destroy twenty tanks as quickly as possible. After this the supertanks, missiles and saucers appear. These are worth far more points than the ordinary tanks. (The number of
34、 tanks you have to destroy before the supertanks appear is various on different machines. )Try to get near an enemy tank from the side or back so it cannot shoot at you. Then when you get close, turn to it, line it up in your sights and fire before it turns to shoot at you. If your missiles are too
35、slow, quickly get away by moving out of the enemys line of life. You can then move around the enemy and come in from another side.When a supertank appears, try to destroy it. Then wait safely behind an obstacle(障碍物)for a missile or a flying saucer. The cubes are useful objects to hide behind as you
36、can fire over them without exposing yourself to danger. The missiles will fly straight at you, but they are difficult to hit. So do not shoot at them until they are quite close. The saucers are much easier to hit, but do not chase(追逐)them as you will be open to shoot from enemys tanks.（分数：12.00）(1).
37、This information is mainly about_.（分数：3.00）A.a computer gameB.an underwater gameC.how to use modem weapons on your enemiesD.an army training exercise(2).If you want to get a high score you must first_.（分数：3.00）A.gain the skills of using your gunsB.wipe out a score tanksC.hunt a number of enemys sauc
38、ersD.kill some supertanks or missiles(3).A good plan when fighting against an enemy tank is to_.（分数：3.00）A.shoot its backB.get near to it from behindC.move it to the sideD.move out of its way(4).Hiding behind the cubes during an attack you can_.（分数：3.00）A.let them shoot over you without any dangerB.
39、be certain of hitting your target(靶子)C.easily shoot from behind themD.fire straight at your enemyBPassage Four/BAdvertisement can be thought of “as the means of making known in order to buy or sell goods or services“. Advertisement aims to increase peoples awareness and arouse interest. It tries to
40、inform and to persuade. The Umedia/U are all used to spread the message. The press offers a fairly cheap method, and magazines are used to reach special sections of the market. The cinema and commercial radio are useful for local market. Television, although more expensive, can be very effective. Pu
41、blic notices are fairly cheap and more permanent in their power of attraction. Other ways of increasing consumers interest are through exhibitions and trade fairs as well as direct mail advertisement.There can be no doubt that the growth in advertisement is one of the most striking features of the W
42、estern World in this century. Many businesses such as those handling frozen foods, liquor, tobacco and medicines have been built up largely by advertisement.We might ask whether the cost of advertisement is paid for by the producers or by the customers. Since every advertisement forms part of the co
43、st of production, which has to be covered by the selling price, it is the customers who pay for advertisement. However, if large scale advertisement leads to increased demand, production costs are reduced, and the customers pay less.It is difficult to measure exactly the influence of advertisement o
44、n increasing demand. When the market is shrinking, advertisement may prevent a bigger fall in sales than would occur without its support. What is clear is that businessmen would not pay large sums for advertisement if they were not convinced of its value to them.（分数：12.00）(1).Advertisement is often
45、used to_.（分数：3.00）A.deceive customersB.increase productionC.promote the saleD.arouse suspicion(2).The word “media“ in the first paragraph includes_.（分数：3.00）A.the pressB.televisionC.radioD.all the above(3).Advertisement is mainly paid for by_.（分数：3.00）A.the customersB.increased salesC.the producersD
46、.reduced prices(4).From the last sentence of this passage we conclude that_.（分数：3.00）A.businessmen know well that advertisement could bring them more profitsB.advertisement could hardly convince people of the value of goodsC.business usually do not pay much for advertisementD.advertisement usually c
47、ost business large amounts of moneyBPassage Five/BChristine Evert Lloyd is an American tennis champion and one of the top female players in the world. She is noted for her strong backhand and her intense concentration during a match.Christine Marie Evert was born in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. She lea
48、rned to play tennis from her father. Because she learned to play on the slow clay tennis courts which are common in southern Florida, Evert is at her best on slow courts.In 1971 ,at the age of sixteen, Evert became the youngest player to reach the semifinals of the United States Open Tennis Championships.
