15、2.00)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
16、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
17、 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
18、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
19、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.（分数：12.00）(1).According to this passage,

23、en than they used to do, and home has become 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
24、, and the school dining room.Its unusual now 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 employme
25、nt and so do girls. The young wage-earner often 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 chi
26、lds home life, the number of married women in 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

31、0)In this game you are in a tank and the screen shows your outside view. You gain points by 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 thi
32、s the supertanks, missiles and saucers appear. These are worth far more points than the ordinary 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 yo
33、u 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 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 wa
34、it safely behind an obstacle(障碍物)for a missile or a flying saucer. The cubes are useful objects 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
35、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).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 sco

38、 known in order to buy or sell goods or services“. Advertisement aims to increase peoples awareness and arouse interest. It tries to inform and 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 m
39、arket. The cinema and commercial radio are useful for local market. Television, although more expensive, can be very effective. Public 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
40、 as direct mail advertisement.There can be no doubt that the growth in advertisement is one of the most striking features of the Western 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
41、whether the cost of advertisement is paid for by the producers or by the customers. Since every advertisement forms part of the cost 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 de
42、mand, production costs are reduced, and the customers pay less.It is difficult to measure exactly the influence of advertisement on 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 businessme
43、n 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 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.

45、nt could hardly convince people of the value of goodsC.business usually do not pay much for advertisementD.advertisement usually cost business large amounts of money九、Passage Five(总题数：1，分数：12.00)Christine Evert Lloyd is an American tennis champion and one of the top female players in the world.
