But actually the
25、 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 first to use it were the Chinese, and it was back in the eleventh century B. C.We know that the umbrel
26、la 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, the umbrella was allowed to be used only by royalty or by those in high offices.In Europe, the Greeks were the fi
27、rst 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 rain were the ancient Romans.During the Middle Ages, the use of the umbrella practically disappeared. Then it app
28、eared 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 eighteenth century, the umbrella was used against rain throughout most of Europe. Umbrellas have not changed much i
29、n 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 The first use of umbrella was as_.（A）protection against rain（B） a shade against the sun（C） a symbol of power（D）a s
30、ymbol of honor32 _were the people who first used umbrellas.（A）Chinese（B） Romans（C） Greeks（D）Egyptians33 The umbrella was used only by royalty or by those in high offices_.（A）in Europe in the 18th century（B） in ancient Egypt and Babylon（C） in the Far East in ancient times（D）during the Middle Ages33 A
31、mericans 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 they will quickly introduce themselves by their nickname. These are shortened forms of their given name at birth and reflect the casual
32、 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 rare and formal occasions.In many traditional cultures the use of the family name is seen as a sign of respect. For Americans, however
33、, 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 his nickname, walls are immediately torn down and equality between two people is established.At work bosses will refer to their employe
34、es 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 nicknames can create a sense of closeness between people who are otherwise not related. Even the presidents of the United States have borne
35、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 prefers 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 ow
36、n 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 Apple“ for reasons which are still obscure to most people including many New Yorkers.Not every nickname, however, is positive and some can
37、 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 unpleasant way.Likewise a persons physical traits which are very dominant may lead to nicknames but not necessarily to ones liking or choice. A
38、nickname, therefore, is a way of identifying or describing someone or something for better or worse.34 Why do Americans prefer to use nicknames when addressing one another?（A）Nicknames are easy to remember.（B） Americans are a friendly people.（C） Nicknames are convenient to use in daily life.（D）Nickn
39、ames help build a closer relationship.35 Americans tend to use others family names_.（A）in the work place（B） when writing letters（C） on formal occasions（D）when making phone calls36 Many traditional societies see the use of ones family name as a sign of_.（A）distance（B） respect（C） importance（D）gratitud
40、e37 An American employer is likely to use a workers family name when_.（A）the worker is to get a promotion（B） he speaks to the worker at a gathering（C） the worker has done something wrong（D）he is being friendly with the worker38 In Paragraph 5, the word “obscure“ is closest in meaning to “_“.（A）uncle
41、ar（B） sound（C） funny（D）popular38 In the United States, it is not customary to telephone someone very early in the morning. If you telephone 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. Th
42、e same meaning is attached to telephone calls made after 11: 00 p. m If someone receives a call during sleeping hours, he assumes its 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
43、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 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
44、date more than a week away tend to be forgotten. The meaning of time differs in different parts of the world. Thus, misunderstandings 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
45、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 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, th
46、ough perhaps he will not complete the sentence.39 “The same meaning is attached to telephone calls made after 11: 00 p. m.“ Here “attached“ means_.（A）taken（B） drawn（C） given（D）shown40 Supposing one wants to make a telephone call at midnight, this would mean_.（A）the matter is less important（B） the ma
47、tter is somewhat important（C） the matter requires immediate attention（D）it is a matter of life and death41 According to this passage, time plays an important role in_.（A）everyday life（B） private life（C） communications（D）transmission42 The best title for this passage is_.（A）The Voices of Time（B） The
48、Saving of Time（C） The Importance of an Announcement（D）Time and Tide Wait for No Man43 According to the passage, the author of the article may agree with which of the follow statements?（A）It is appropriate to send your invitation cards three of four days before a dinner party date in the U. S.（B） It
49、may be appropriate to send your invitation cards to your guests three or four days before a dinner party date in some cultures.（C） It is best for one to make telephone calls at night because it costs much less.（D）If one is less than 5 minutes late, he has to make a short apology.44 Why does the time chosen for the call communicate its importance?（A）It depends on
