ATo 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 the rain, Its first use was as a shade（遮光物）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 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. In the Far East in ancient times, the umbrella was allowed to be used only by those in high office.In Europe, the Greeks were the first to use the umbrella as a sunshade. And the umbrella was in commonly used in ancient Greece. But it is believed that the first persons in Europe to use the umbrella as protection against the rain were the ancient 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 as a symbol of power. By 1680, the umbrella appeared in France and later in England.By the eighteenth century, the umbrella was used against rain throughout most of Europe. Umbrellas have hot changed much in style during all this time, though they have become much lighter in weight. It wasn’t until the twentieth century that women’s umbrellas began to be made, in a whole variety of colors.56.

This passage talks mainly about_______________.A. when and how the umbrella was inventedB. why the umbrella was so popular in EuropeC. the development of the umbrellaD. The history and use of the umbrellaBArchimedes(阿基米德) is considered one of the three greatest mathematicians（数学家）of all time along with Newton and Gauss. In his own time, he was known as “thewise one”. He was one of the last great Greek mathematicians. Except for his studies at Euclid’s school, he spe nt his whole life in his birthplace. Archimedes proved to be a master at mathematics and spent most of his time trying to solve any new problems. Sometimes he was so involved in his work that he forgot to eat. Lacking the blackboards and paper of modern times, he used any possible material to write on, from the dust on the ground to ashes(灰烬) from a fire that had burned out. He never gave up any opportunity（机会）to think carefully about his work.Archimedes was a friend of Hiero, the king of Syracuse, and Gelon, Hiero’s son. He liked to solve the king’s most difficult problems to the amazem ent of the king. At one time, the king ordered a gold crown(王冠) and gave the goldsmith(金匠) the exact amount of metal to make it. When Hiero received it, the crown had the correct weight, but the king doubted that some silver(银)had been used instead of the gold. Since he could not prove it, he brought the problem to Archimedes. One day while considering the question, “the wise one” entered his bathtub(浴缸) and recognized that the amount of water that overflowed(溢出) the tub was proportional（相称的）the amount of his body that was submerged. This idea gave him the means to solve the problem. This observation is now known as Archimedes’ Principle. Archimedes’ another famous statement is “Give me a place to stand on and I will move the earth.”61. According to the passage, Archimedes ______.A. was followed by many great Greek mathematiciansB. was good at thinking and hardworkingC. could draw his geometric(几何的)figures on paperD. was a great mathematician for a time62. According to the passage, we can learn that _______.A. Archimedes’ reputation was given by the king and his son.B. the king liked asking Archimedes to help him solve problems.C. the king knew the crown was impure(不纯的) and wanted to test Archimedes.D. Archimedes put the crown into his bathtub and proved it was pure.63. Archimedes’ Principle was found ______.A. when he drawing the geometric figuresB. when he was doing mathematic problemsC. when he was playing with the kingD. when he was bathing in his bathtubCFeel tired lately? Has a doctor said he can’t find anything wrong with you? Perhaps he has sent you to a hospital, but all the advanced（先进的）equipment there shows that there is nothing wrong with you.Then, consider this: you might be in a state of sub-health（亚健康）. Sub-health, also called the third state or gray state, is explained as a borderline（界限）state between health and disease.According to the investigation by the National Health Organization, over 45 percent of sub-healthy people are middle-aged or elderly. The percentage is even higher among people who work in management positions as well as students around exam-week.Symptoms include a lack of energy, depression, slow reactions, insomnia（失眠症）,anger, and poor memory. Other symptoms include shortness of breath, sweating and aching in the waist and legs.The key to preventing and recovering（恢复）from sub-health, according to some medical experts, is to form good living habits, alternate work and rest, exercise regularly, and take part in open air activities.As for meals, people are advised to eat less salt and sugar. They should also eat more fresh vegetables, fruits, fish because they are rich in nutritional elements -- vitamins and other elements that are important to the body.Nutrition experts point out that it is not good to eat too much at one meal because it may cause unhealthy changes in the digestive tract. They also say that a balanced diet is very helpful in avoiding sub-health.64. According to this passage, which of the following is true?A. When you are in a state of sub-health, you should stay at home and keep silent.B. When you are in a state of sub-health, you should go to see a doctor and buysome medicine.C. When you are in a state of sub-health, you should have yourself examined inforeign countries.D. When you are in a state of sub-health, you should find out the reasons and relaxyourself.65.

Generally, this expression of thoughts and feelings has been in the form of oral speech. When there is a spoken language problem, communication can be carried out through sign language, in which gestures stand for letters, words, and ideas. Tourists and people unable to hear or speak have often had to turn to this form of expression. When gestures describe words or ideas, they can often be used internationally. When used for spelling words however, where each gesture stands for a single letter, people must share the same written language.Body language sends ideas or thoughts by certain actions, either meaningfully or not. A wink（眨眼）can be a way of showing that the person is only joking. A nodmeans agreement, while shaking the head indicates disagreement.Other forms of language can be found in Braille (a reading system of raised dots read with the fingertips used by the blind), signal flags, Morse code, and smoke signals. Road maps and picture signs also guide and warn people. While language is the most common form of communication, other systems and techniques also express human thoughts and feelings.68.
