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 11th 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. 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 wasnt until the twentieth century that the umbrellas for women began to be made in all kinds of colors.（1）Ancient people first used umbrella as _.A . a symbol of honorB . protection against the sunC . a symbol of powerD . protection against the rain（2）According to this passage, the umbrella was probably first invented in ancient _.A .

To deal with this problem, it is recommended that a big part of the governments health budget (预算) be used for health education and disease prevention instead of treatment. In fact, many kinds of diseases are preventable in many ways and preventing a disease is usually much cheaper than treating it. For example, people could avoid catching a cold if they dressed warmly when the weather starts getting cold. But many people get sick because they fail to do so, and have to spend money seeing a doctor.Daily habits like eating more healthy food would have kept millions of families from becoming bankrupt if the patients had taken action for early prevention. For example, keeping a balanced diet seems to be quite important.One very effective (有效的) and costless way of prevention is regular (规律的) exercise, which is necessary for a healthy mind and body. Regular exercise, such as running, walking, and playing sports is a good way to make people feel better or reduce stress.Health education plays a key role in improving peoples health. By giving people more information about health, countries could help people understand the importance of disease prevention and ways to achieve it. For example, knowing ones family medical history is an effective way to help keep healthy. Information about health problems among close relatives will make them aware of what they should do to prevent certain diseases through lifestyle changes, which will work before it is too late.However, paying more attention to disease prevention does not mean medical treatment is unimportant. After all, prevention and treatment are just two different ways toward the same effect. In conclusion, we could save money on health care and treat patients more successfully if our country spends more money on health prevention and education.（1）Whats the best title of the passage? A . Prevention or EducationB . Prevention or TreatmentC . Health or IllnessD . Exercise or Illness（2）Which of the following can replace (替代) the underlined word bankrupt?

A . dressing warmly can prevent diseasesB . a balanced diet is cheaper than regular exerciseC . the more health education, the betterD . the governments health budget should be increased（4）Which of the following shows the structure (结构) of the passage?CP (Central Point) P (Point)Sp (Sub-point次要点) C (Conclusion)A . B . C . D . 7. （8分） Its important for us to be healthyBut how can we keep healthy?

Even insignificant choices can affect what we experience and how we feel. When hunger strikes, we can reach for a healthy, nutritious snack, or we can choose the sugar high of junk food. The more important the decision, the greater its effect. For instance, how do I act towards that person who treated me badly? Do I generally choose to be passive, or do I actively set clear intentions and create what I want in my life? Every choice we make, however big or small, affects us in some way.How do you make choices?If you are interested in living a richer, fuller life, there is a foundation upon which you can base all of your decisions which can make life better not only for you, but also for those around you. This foundation is to choose based on whats best for all. Imagine a world where every parent, spouse(配偶), friend, teacher, businessperson, and politician truly did their best to choose whats best for all involved in every decision they made. We would certainly live in a more caring, supportive world.Its the intention.But how do I know what is really best? you might ask. The answer is simple. It doesnt matter. What matters is not the choice you make, but rather the intention behind your choice. What matters is that whatever decision you make, you are clear in your intention of choosing based on whats best for all. If it later turns out that you made what appears to have been a bad choice, theres no need for guilt. Knowing that you did your best to choose with a sincere desire for whats best for all, your conscience stays clear and open. This then allows you to more easily learn from your mistakes, and to live with a clear heart and mind.Whats best for me, too！Choosing whats best does not mean you have to always sacrifice yourself for other. An overly(过度的) exhausted mother can lose her temper easily. Some time off for this mother might seem selfish, yet in the long run, it can help her to be a better mother to her children. So as we move through each day of our lives, let us remember to include ourselves as we do our best to choose whats best for all.（1）According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true? A . Every one of us makes countless choices every day.B . Every choice, however big or small, has an influence on us.C . People act differently towards the person who treated them badly.D . People tend to reach for a junk snack when hunger strikes.（2）How should we make choices? A . To be interested in a richer, fuller life.B . To make life better for ourselves.C . To base our choices on whats best for all.D . To imagine a world where everyone did their best.（3）According to the author, what is really best? A . The choice you make.B . The intention behind your choice.C . The mistake you learn from.D . The consequence of your choice.（4）To choose what is best for us, wed better .A . try to be selfish all the timeB . sacrifice ourselves for othersC . set aside some time for ourselvesD . control our temper before children（5）The best topic or the passage may be . A . How do I act towards that person who treated me badlyB . How to live in a more caring, supportive worldC . The power of choiceD . Always sacrifice yourself for other9. （10分）阅读理解 Years ago I worked at a factory in a small county. Every day I got up very early and often did much extra work at night. I was so tired and exhausted. My whole life was hopeless. Then one day I read the following article from a magazine：A woman went to live with her husband in camp on the Mojave Desert（沙漠）during the war. She simply hated the place: the heat was almost unbearable, 125degrees in the shade, the wind blew incessantly, and there was sand-sand everywhere. Finally, in desperation（不顾-切地）she wrote her parents in Ohio that she couldnt stand it another minute and was coming home. Quickly came the reply by airmail from her father just two lines：Two men looked out from prison bars. One saw the mud, the other saw stars.The daughter did some real thinking, not only with the intellect（思维）but also with her heart. She decided to stick to her post. She made friends with the natives, learned to love the country, and eventually wrote a book about it. The desert hadnt changed, but her attitude had. Because she listened with her heart to the words her father sent, a whole new world opened up to her. A change of attitude could change everything. After reading the article, I was deep in thought（陷入沉思）. （1）The underlined word unbearable means in Chinese. A . 难以想象的B . 难以克服的C . 难以忍受的D . 难以适应的（2）From her fathers reply, we can infer（推断）that.
