16、t.35 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. Probably
17、the Chinese were the first to use it 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, the umbrella was allowed
18、 to be used only by the king or by those in high office.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 the rain were the ancien
19、t 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 18th century the umb
20、rella was used against rain throughout most of Europe. Umbrella did not change much in style during 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. 36 According to this passage, the umbrel
21、la was probably first invented（A）in ancient China（B） in ancient Europe（C） in ancient Greece（D）in ancient Rome 37 Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE about the umbrella?（A）The umbrella was first invented to be used as protection against the sun.（B） The umbrella changed much in style in the
22、eighteenth century.（C） No one exactly knows who was the inventor of the umbrella.（D）In Europe, the Greeks were the first to use the umbrella. 38 A strange feature of the umbrellas use is that it was used as_.（A）a shade against the sun（B） protection against rain（C） a symbol of honor and power（D）women
23、s decoration 39 This passage talks mainly about（A）why the umbrella was so popular in Europe（B） when and how the umbrella was invented（C） the history and the use of umbrella（D）the development of the umbrella 39 Parents have to do much less for their children than they used to do, and home has become
24、much less of a workshop. Clothes can be bought ready made; washing 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 works canteen, and the school dining room.Its unusual now
25、for father to pursue(追求)his trade of other employment at home, 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 oft
26、en earns good money, and soon gains a feeling Of economic independence (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
27、 employment having more than doubled in the last twenty- five 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 gre
28、at value if mothers employment prevents her from being home to greet them when they return from school.40 The words “works canteen“ is_.（A）a food shop（B） a cafe（C） a restaurant（D）a cafeteria(自助餐厅 ) 41 The main reason that boys are seldom trained to follow their fathers business is_.（A）that children
29、also like to have jobs outside（B） that there is a wide choice of employment for children（C） that father do not like to pursue employment at home anymore（D）that children nowadays rarely see their places of work 42 What makes father no longer be the most important in a family?（A）Father does much less
30、for his children today than he used 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. 43 It is implied in the passage that_.（A
31、）mothers have the practice to go to work（B） working mothers have no time to stay with their children at home（C） mothers position in a family has been raised（D）young wage-earners are economically independent 43 In this game you are in a tank and the screen shows your outside view. You gain points by
32、shooting enemy tanks, supertanks, 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 ordi
33、nary tanks. (The number of 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.
34、 If your missiles are too 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 obje
35、cts to hide behind as you 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 e
36、nemys tanks.44 This information is mainly about_.（A）a computer game（B） an underwater game（C） how to use modem weapons on your enemies（D）an army training exercise 45 If you want to get a high score you must first_.（A）gain the skills of using your guns（B） wipe out a score tanks（C） hunt a number of ene

38、be certain of hitting your target(靶子)（C） easily shoot from behind them（D）fire straight at your enemy 47 Advertisement 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 inform a
39、nd to persuade. The media 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. Public notice
40、s 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 Western Worl
41、d 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 cost of produ
42、ction, 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 on increasin
43、g 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.48 Advertisement is often used to_.（A）deceive cu
44、stomers（B） increase production（C） promote the sale（D）arouse suspicion 49 The word “media“ in the first paragraph includes_.（A）the press（B） television（C） radio（D）all the above 50 Advertisement is mainly paid for by_.（A）the customers（B） increased sales（C） the producers（D）reduced prices 51 From the las
45、t sentence of this passage we conclude that_.（A）businessmen know well that advertisement could bring them more profits（B） advertisement could hardly convince people of the value of goods（C） business usually do not pay much for advertisement（D）advertisement usually cost business large amounts of mone
