To us, it seems so natural to put up an umbrella to keep the water off when it rains. But in fact the umbrella was not invented as protection against the rain. Its first use was as a shade(遮蔽) 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, back in the eleventh century BC.

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 power(权力). In the Far East in ancient times, the umbrella was allowed to be used only by those in high office or by royal people such as the kings or queens.

In Europe, the Greeks were the first to use the umbrella as a sunshade. The umbrella was in common use in ancient Greece, but it is believed that the first people in Europe to use the umbrella as protection against the rain were the ancient Romans. During the middle ages in Europe, the use of the umbrella almost disappeared. Then it appeared again in Italy in the late sixteenth century. And again it became a symbol of power.

Umbrellas have not changed much in style during all this time, though they have become much lighter in weight. It wasn't until the twentieth century that the umbrellas for women began to be made in all kinds of colors.

五、选词并用适当形式填空。

is the most surprising is that it was not1earlier, although the great inventor Leonardo Da Vinci had2pictures for bicycles and flying machines and some other things. Those things were not produced3long after he died.

A person riding a bicycle uses very little4to make the bicycle move, and there is no pollution at all when you are riding. Even so, in most developed5, most people d on’t go to work by bicycle. It is not6the bicycles are expensive or people feel7if they ride to work. It’s because the number of cars on the roads becomes larger. It certainly becomes more8to ride a bicycle. As a result, more people put their bicycles away and go to work9their cars. And in this way, the situation is made more serious. Perhaps the best way to make riding safer and more popular is to10paths only for bicycles.

六、阅读与表达

“Color” and “color”, “favorite” and “favorite”... Have you eve r wondered why Americans spell those words without a “u”? Is it because they are lazy?

Of course not. In fact, the difference in spelling was created by Noah Webster (1758-1843). He is a teacher who reformed English to make American identity(身份) stronger. Linguists(语言学家) celebrated his 250th birthday on October 16.

After the Revolutionary War (1775-1783), Webster believed that Americans should have their own dictionary, rather than rely on British versions(版本). He dropped the British “u” in some words. And he changed “centre” into “center” for children to learn English by spelling words more like they sounded. Webster wasn't shy about expressing his opinions. In defining(定义) preposterous(unreasonable), he

wrote: “A Republican government in the hands of females is preposterous.” Webster spent 28 years on the project before completing the 70,000-word dictionary in 1828 with his American-style spellings. He also added local words. His dictionary was widely used in schools. Linguists believed it helped a new nation achieve unity and cultural independence at a time when most were focused on political freedom. “He was the shaper of our language and the shaper of American identity,” said Joshua Kendall, who is working on a biography(传记) about Webster. “He at last bonded(联合) us through our language.”

1. Is it because they are lazy when they shorten some words?

2. Who created the different spelling?

3. When did Noah Webster probably begin his project of the dictionary?

4. Why did Noah Webster create these differences in his dictionary?

5. Which would probably be the best title for the passage?
