26、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 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 also 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. 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. And the umbrella was in common use in ancient Greece. But it is believed that the first persons in Europe to use the umbrellas as protection against the rain were the ancient Romans. During the middle ages in Europe, the use of the umbrella most 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.

【1】Ancient people first used umbrellas as ______.

A. a symbol of honor   B. a symbol of power

C. protection against the sun   D. protection against the rain

【2】According to the passage, the umbrella was probably first used in accident__________.

A. Babylon   B. China

D. The style of the umbrella hasn’t changed a lot since it was invented

【4】What is the passage mainly about?

A. The sales of the umbrella   B. The history and the use of the umbrella

C. The invention of the umbrella   D. The differences among umbrellas

27、Dear Editor,

Recent reports have indicated an additional 1, 400 Marines（海军陆战队）are being sent to Afghanistan in the coming weeks. This means it costs over $1 million annually on the ground over there. I do place a higher level of blame on the policymakers who send soldiers off to kill and be killed in the field. I think the human race needs to think more about killing.

One needs to do the introspection: “Are these wars JUST?” I believe that all of our wars since 1945 have been illegal, under international law as well. I suggest that all your readers examine their conscience as it relates to the matter of making war. The fact that many soldiers are motivated by a strong sense of duty does not give them some unqualified(绝对的) moral right to support these wars or any other. It’s responsible for all the troops, and the entire population, to determine whether the Afghan or Iraq wars are in accordance with(符合) the development of the state.

I wish someone would give me one or more logical reasons why we are still fighting in Afghanistan and what our goals are. I certainly don’t understand it and neither do many who are more knowledgeable than I.

Outsiders have tried unsuccessfully for centuries to conquer Afghanistan, and we seem to be no more successful. We are trying to develop a stable central government, but the country is badly divided into ethnic and tribal groups, and the current government is corrupt（腐败的）. Moreover, we are apparently regarded as undesirable occupiers by many of its people, most notably(尤其) the Taliban(塔利班).

If we are to continue spending billions every year in Afghanistan and killing hundreds of our people and many of theirs, our government must provide us with a reasonable explanation of why we are doing so and what we can expect to accomplish.

George Myers

【1】What caused the author to write the letter?

A. His conscience of being a citizen.

B. His relatives being killed in the war.

C. Reports about sending soldiers to Afghanistan.

D. Getting no reasonable explanation.

【2】The underlined word “introspection” in the passage means ______________________.

A. self-awareness B. self-examination

C. self-confidence   D. self-defence

【3】The soldiers go to Afghanistan because______________________________.

A. they can contribute to the development of America

B. they have the moral right to do so

C. they want to become heroes in the war

D. they are performing their duty as a resident

【4】Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

A. The U.S.A has developed a stable central government.

B. Most people can’t understand why the States makes wars.

C. The Afghan considered Americans as undesirable occupiers

D. American government should make an explanation to the public.

28、   All living organisms are uniquely adapted to the environment in which they live. Scientists are studying the design and the biological processes of these organisms to get ideas for products and technologies. This field of study is called biomimetics. Here are two examples.

Toucan Bills and Car Safety

Toucan usually has enormous bills. Scientists have found that the toucan's beak is designed to be both strong and light. The surface is made of keratin, the same material in human fingernails and hair. But the inside of the bill has a foam-like structure and is made up of a network of light, thin pieces of bone. It contains a lot of air, and some areas are hollow, not solid. This design makes the bill hard but very light.

The design of the toucan bill can be used to make cars and planes safer. Studies show that the beak's structure can absorb high energy impacts very well. Car body panels that mimic toucan bills may offer better protection to motorists involved in crashes.

Shark Scales and Swimsuits

Shark skin may look smooth, but it's actually rough. Sharks are covered in scales made from the same material as their teeth. Viewed up close, the scales actually look like tiny teeth. These scales protect the shark and help to keep it clean. They are also flexible and can turn or bend in the water. This movement reduces the waters drag on the shark and helps it to swim quickly.

Scientists discovered that the shortfin mako's scales vary in size and flexibility over its body. For instance the scales on the sides of the body are tapered — wide at one end and narrow at the other. They can turn up or flatten to adjust to the flow of water around the shark and to reduce drag.

Scientists believe that shark scales can inspire designs for machines that experience drag, such as airplanes. Designers are also getting ideas from shark scales for designing swimwear and coating ship bottoms.

【1】Why do car body panels copy the design of toucan bill?

A.To better protect passers-by. B.To reduce the injury to drivers.

C.To decrease the chances of crashes. D.To make cars lighter and easier to control.

【2】What product or technology is inspired by shark scales?

A.Coating for ship bottoms to run faster. B.Coating for airplanes to experience drag.

C.The panel that makes the plane safer. D.Swimwear that is smooth to keep itself clean.

【3】What’s the purpose of the text?

A.To present two innovative products. B.To introduce biomimetics by example.

C.To show the unique adaptations of animals. D.To discuss the link between humans and animals.

29、   Imagine shopping for clothes online and being able to run your hand across the screen of your computer or smartphone to feel the materials. That kind of simulation(仿真) technology could be available within the next five years.

“ We’re talking about reinventing how computers interact with humans,” said Bernie Meyerson, IBM Vice President. Extending our sense of touch is one of the innovations(创新) IBM believes will change the world in the next five years, according to the company’s annual “Five in Five” list.

Smart machines will also be able to listen to the environment and highlight the sounds we care about most. For instance, an advanced speech recognition system will tell new parents why their baby is crying. This kind of thing is not possible today, but with an advanced enough system, it’s actually possible.

In the near future, personal computers will be able to do more than recognize images and visual data. Their built-in cameras will be able to analyze features such as colors, and understand the meaning of visual media, such as knowing how to sort family photos

Smart machines will also be able to smell. If you sneeze on your computer or cellphone, tiny sensors(传感器) in the machine will be able to analyze thousands of molecules(分子) in your breath. “ it can give you an alarm and says, “Hey, you are probably sick, go to see your doctor immediately,” Meyerson says.

Mark Maloo is a computer science professor from Georgetown University. He hopes the advances will encourage more students to study science, technology, engineering and math, preparing them to play a role in future innovations. He believes there’s little doubt that advances in computer technology over the next five years will make what now seems like science fiction a part of our everyday lives.

【1】The purpose of the text is to show us________

A.how smart machines will replace humans

B.what our lives will be like in the future

C.how to go shopping on the Internet

D.why IBM wants to invent these smart machines

【2】In the future, if you buy clothes online, you may________

A.feel the materials of the clothes by touching the screen

B.ask your computer to give you some advice

C.ask your computer to make the decision for you

D.save a lot of money by using a smartphone

【3】How will a smart machine figure out that you are probably sick ?

A.By analyzing the thousands of molecules in your breath

B.By analyzing your comments about your body condition

C.By referring your condition to doctors

D.By asking you to describe how you feel

【4】What can we infer from the text?

A.The advanced speech recognition system is already available now

B.Extending the sense of touch is the most important object of IBM

C.Students have an important role to play in the future inventions

D.Personal computers can only be used to recognize images
