BTo us it seems so natural to put up an umbrella to keep the water off when it rains. But actually the umbrel
34、la 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 earliest to use it in the eleventh century BC. We know that the umbrella was used in ancient
35、 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 earliest to use the umbr
36、ella as a sunshade. And the umbrella was allowed in common use in ancient Greece. But it is believed that the earliest 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 ag
37、ain in Italy in the late sixteenth century. And again, it was considered a symbol of power and authority. In around 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

41、story and use of the umbrella.CThere are three airports in New York. When you arrive at one of them you can take a bus or taxi to any place in New York.Public transport- In New York theres a good bus and subway service. If you are planning to use the subway a lot, you should buy a subway ticket for
42、ten journeys because its cheaper. But you dont have to use public transport- there are lots of places you can go to on foot, like The Empire State Building, 5th Avenue and Central Park. The New York taxis are a part of the city experience, so you should take at least one taxi during your visit!Hotel

48、er strange story but it is quite true. In December 1996, a burglar broke into a golf club in a small town. When the police arrived to look into it, they found an unusual clue-a piece of cheese with a bite-mark in it. The burglar had gone into the kitchen, and had eaten some food there. Then he had s
49、tolen some cigarettes and a little money.The policeman in charge of the case guessed that the burglar was a local man. He thought that professional thieves would not bother to break into a golf club. He made enquires in the town and asked three suspects(嫌疑犯)to come to the police station. When he que
50、stioned them about the burglary, they all denied stealing in the club. The policeman then gave each man a piece of cheese and asked them to bite it. He took the pieces of the cheese to a dentist and asked him to compare the bite-marks with that in the piece of cheese at the scene of the burglary.The
51、 policeman set free two of the suspects and questioned the third one. At first the man claimed that he was innocent. The policeman knew that the man was lying, so he encouraged him to talk until he began to contradict himself(自相矛盾). The policeman told him about the bite-marks and the man had to admi
52、t his stealing.68. The author says this story is strange because _.A. the burglar went into the kitchen and ate some foodB. the thief stole some cigarettes and a little moneyC. the burglary happened in a small townD. a piece of cheese helped to catch the thief69. The policeman asked the three suspec
53、ts to bite the pieces of the cheese because he thought _.A. it was because of hunger that the thief broke into the kitchenB. in this way he could ask the dentist for help by comparing the bite-marksC. they were not professional thieves to break into a golf clubD. they could have strength to come to
54、the police station70. Which of the following words can be best used to describe the policeman?A. King-hearted. B. Intelligent. C. Hard-working. D. Encouraging.EGlobal warming may or may not be the great environmental crisis of the 21st century, butregardless of whether it is or isntwe wont do much a
55、bout it. We will argue over it and may even, as a nation, make some fairly solemn-sounding commitments to avoid it. But the more dramatic and meaningful these commitments seem, the less likely they are to be observed.Al Gore calls global warming an “inconvenient truth,” as if merely recognizing it c
56、ould put us on a path to a solution. But the real truth is that we dont know enough to relieve global warming, andwithout major technological breakthroughs(突破)we cant do much about it.From 2022 to 2050, the worlds population is excepted to grow from 6.4 billion to 9.1 billion, a 42% increase. If ene
57、rgy use per person and technology remain the same, total energy use and greenhouse gas emissions (mainly, CO2) will be 42% higher in 2050. But thats too low, because societies that grow richer use more energy. We need economic growth unless we condemn the worlds poor to their present poverty and fre
58、eze everyone elses living standards. With modest growth, energy use and greenhouse emissions more than double by 2050.No government will adopt rigid restrictions on economic growth and personal freedom (limits on electricity usage, driving and travel) that might cut back global warming. Still, polit
59、icians want to show theyre “doing something.” Consider the Kyoto Protocol(京都议定书). It allowed countries that joined to punish those that didnt. But it hasnt reduced CO2 emissions (up about 25% since 1990), and many signatories (签字国)didnt adopt tough enough policies to hit their 2022-2022 targets.The
60、practical conclusion is that if global warming is a potential disaster, the only solution is new technology. Only an aggressive research and development program might find ways of breaking our dependence on fossil fuels or dealing with it.The trouble with the global warming debate is that it has bec
61、ome a moral problem when its really an engineering one. The inconvenient truth is that if we dont solve the engineering problem, were helpless.71. What is said about global warming in the first paragraph?A.It may not prove an environmental crisis at all B. It is an issue requiring world wide commitm
62、entsC. Serious steps have been taken to avoid or stop itD. Very little will be done to bring it under control72. According to the authors understanding, what is Al Gores view on global warming?A.It is a reality both people and politicians are unaware of B. It is a phenomenon that causes us many inco
63、nveniencesC. It is a problem that can be solved once it is recognized D. It is an area we actually have little knowledge about73. Greenhouse emissions will more than double by 2050 because of _ .A.economic growth B. wasteful use of energy C. the growing population D. the rapid advances of science an
64、d technology 74. The author believes that, since the signing of the Kyoto Protocol, _ .A.politicians have started to do something to better the situationB.few nations have adopted real tough measures to limit energy use C.reductions in energy consumption have greatly cut back global warmingD.interna
65、tional cooperation has contribute to solving environmental problems75. What is the message the author intends to express?A.Global warming is more of a moral issue than a practical oneB.The ultimate solution to global warming lies in new technologyC.The debate over global warming will lead to technol

72、 of the young people. To me, nothing can bring more joy and happiness than reading those masterpieces created by great figures like Confucius and Cao Xueqin. I believe works like The Dream in the Red Chamber and The Legend of Three Kingdoms can drastically elevate ones aesthetic taste and deepen the
73、 understanding of the glorious history of Chinese culture.However, the modern society is full of temptations. Compared with TV soap operas, sport events, and video games, classical literary works are old fashioned and time consuming. In bookstores, “Fast-food” reading materials are replacing classic
74、s, and young writers with sensational and “cool” remarks win the support of a large number of fans.As the salt of this world, we high shool students should be fully aware of the important role the classics play in broadening ones vision. Therefore, we should start reading and studying the classics our ancestors left and absorbing the essence of those classical works. 14 / 14
