10、e umbrella was not invented as protection against rain. Its firstuse 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, way back in the eleventh century B.C.We know that the umbrella was us
11、ed 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 first to us
12、e 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 appeared aga
13、in 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 in style d
14、uring all this time, though they have become much lighter in weight. It wasnt until the twentieth century that women s umbrellas began to be made in a whole variety of colors.b21.

17、lowing is the best title of the passage?A. When Was the Umbrella Invented? B. The History of UmbrellaC. Umbrella- A Symbol of Honor D. Who Used Umbrella First?Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage:Adam Smith, writing in the 1770s, was the first person to see the importance of the div
18、ision of labor and to explain part of its advantages. He gives as an example the process by which pins were made in England.One man draws out the wire; another strengthens it; a third cuts it; a fourth points it; a fifth grinds it at the top to prepare it to receive the head.To make the head require
19、s two or three operations. To put it on is a separate operation, to polish the pins is another. And the important business of making pins is, in this manner, divided into about eighteen operations, whichin some factories are all performed by different people, though in others the same man will some
20、times perform two or three of them. Ten man, Smith said, in this way, turned outtwelve pounds of pins a day or about 4800pins per worker. But if all of them had worked separately and independently without division of labor, none of them could have made twenty pins in a day and perhaps not even one.
21、There canbe no doubt that division of labor is an effident way of organizing work. Fewer people can make more pins. Adam Smith saw this but he also took it for granted that division of labor is in itself responsible for economic growth and development and that it accounts for the difference between
22、expanding economies and those that stand still (停滞不前) . But division of labor adds nothing new; it only enables people to produce more of what they already have.c26. According to the passage, Adam Smith was the first person to _A. take advantage of the division of laborB. introduce the division of l
23、abor into EnglandC. understand the effects of the division of laborD. explain the muses of the division of laborb27.

26、he following could serve as an appropriate title for the passage?A. AAam Smith, the Eaglish EconomistB. The Theory of Division of LaborC. Division of Labor, an Efficient Way of Organizing WorkD. Adam Smith, the Last Discoverer of Division of LaborQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the foliowing passage
27、: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. The same meaning is attached to te
28、lephone 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 feel they are not highly regarded
29、 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 makean appointment too far in advance because plans which are made for a date more than a week away tend to
30、 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 regarded as impolite or not fully r
31、esponsible. 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, though perhaps he will not complete the sentence.d31. The same meaning is attached to telephone calls made after 11:00 p.m. Here at tached means _A. taken B. drawn C. given D. shownd32, Supposing one wants to make a telephone call at midnight, this would mean _A. the matt
