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 sunshade(遮阳伞).
Nobody knows who first invented it, but the umbrella was used in very ancient times. Probably the Chinese were the first to use it, 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 that connected with its use: it was a symbol of honor and power. In the Far East in ancient times, the umbrella was allowed to be used only by those in the upper class or by royal people such as 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.
The umbrella has not changed much in style during all the time, though it has become much lighter in weight. It wasn't until the 20th century that the umbrellas for women began to be made in all kinds of colors.

Many Chinese people like having "cupping(拔火罐)". It is a common method in traditional Chinese medicine(TCM).
Massage(按摩)and acupuncture(针刺疗法)are two other important kinds of TCM. Chinese massage can make you relaxed and fresh. In acupuncture, doctors put long needles (针)into the patients' heads, faces, arms. It takes away pain, though the look is funny.
TCM is an important part of Chinese culture. The earliest medical classic in China, Huangdi's Classic on Medicine, came out more than 2, 000 years ago. The book is about the relationship between man and nature. In Chinese culture, yin and yang are the two parts of nature. Nature keeps balanced(平衡的)if yin and yang work well together. The human body needs such a balance, too. TCM helps to do that.
Quite specially, for some health problems, a doctor of TCM will not give you medicine. Instead, he may give you just a food plan and right ways to eat. For example, it is common to eat on the way to school, at our desk, or in front of the TV. But TCM thinks it's wrong. Here are the correct ways: Sit down to eat. While eating, turn off the TV and get away from the work desk. Eat seasonal foods. Do not miss any of the three meals. Also, get your body moving often. Just as the saying goes," Running water is never state."
Nowadays, traditional Chinese medicine is becoming more and more popular around the world. A government report says that people in 183 countries and areas are now using TCM.
27. About Huangdi's Classic on Medicine, which of the following is NOT TRUE?
A. It's an important book on TCM.
B. It's mainly about how to take medicine.
C. It came out over 2, 000 years ago.
D. It's the earliest medical classic in China.
28. Which is the best way to have lunch according to Paragraph 4?
A. Eat in front of the TV, so you can relax yourself after a morning's hard work.
B. Eat on your work desk, so you can work at the same time.
C. Eat on the way to somewhere if you have no time.
D. While you are having lunch, turn off your TV though the program is funny.
29. If we put the passage into three parts, which of the following is the best?

五.任务型阅读:阅读下面材料,根据材料内容,完成下列各题。(共5小题,计10分)
Nowadays, with the development of science and technology, the way of paying has changed a lot. Although we have exchanged money around the world many times, we avoid the trouble of carrying a lot of cash. We can pay anything with a credit card or by mobile phones. In fact, some people think we don't need money at all.
Before paper money, people bought and sold goods with animals. But they couldn't carry animals around their neck or in a bag, so they needed something small. About three thousand years ago, Chinese people used sea shells and later they used metal coins. These coins played an important role at that time. In the thirteenth century, Marco Polo travelled to China. He saw paper money for the first time. He found the same amount of paper money was much lighter than coins, and that paper money was more convenient to carry. Later, countries in Europe used paper money, too. Like paper money, checks were also useful and the Bank of England made the first checkbook in the nineteenth century. Then, in the early1950s, the US introduced credit cards. This way of payment is still popular today.
However, we still need some cash for something special. I think paper money can make people feel warmer, and paper money cannot be replaced.
51. In the passage, which word probably means“现金”?
___________________________________________________probably means“现金”
52. How many paying choices were there before paper money in the second paragraph?
There were ____________________________________choices for people to pay.
53. When did Marco Polo find the paper money for the first time?
Marco Polo saw the paper money when he travelled to China____________________.
54. What payment has been popular with Americans since the 1950s?
____________________________have been popular with Americans since the 1950s.
55. What does this passage mainly talk about?
It mainly talks about _________________________________of payment.

Many Chinese people like having "cupping(拔火罐)". It is a common method in traditional Chinese medicine(TCM).
Massage(按摩)and acupuncture(针刺疗法)are two other important kinds of TCM. Chinese massage can make you relaxed and fresh. In acupuncture, doctors put long needles (针)into the patients' heads, faces, arms. It takes away pain, though the look is funny.
TCM is an important part of Chinese culture. The earliest medical classic in China, Huangdi's Classic on Medicine, came out more than 2, 000 years ago. The book is about the relationship between man and nature. In Chinese culture, yin and yang are the two parts of nature. Nature keeps balanced(平衡的)if yin and yang work well together. The human body needs such a balance, too. TCM helps to do that.
Quite specially, for some health problems, a doctor of TCM will not give you medicine. Instead, he may give you just a food plan and right ways to eat. For example, it is common to eat on the way to school, at our desk, or in front of the TV. But TCM thinks it's wrong. Here are the correct ways: Sit down to eat. While eating, turn off the TV and get away from the work desk. Eat seasonal foods. Do not miss any of the three meals. Also, get your body moving often. Just as the saying goes," Running water is never state."
Nowadays, traditional Chinese medicine is becoming more and more popular around the world. A government report says that people in 183 countries and areas are now using TCM.

五.任务型阅读:阅读下面材料,根据材料内容,完成下列各题。(共5小题,计10分)
Nowadays, with the development of science and technology, the way of paying has changed a lot. Although we have exchanged money around the world many times, we avoid the trouble of carrying a lot of cash. We can pay anything with a credit card or by mobile phones. In fact, some people think we don't need money at all.
Before paper money, people bought and sold goods with animals. But they couldn't carry animals around their neck or in a bag, so they needed something small. About three thousand years ago, Chinese people used sea shells and later they used metal coins. These coins played an important role at that time.In the thirteenth century, Marco Polo travelled to China. He saw paper money for the first time. He found the same amount of paper money was much lighter than coins, and that paper money was more convenient to carry. Later, countries in Europe used paper money, too. Like paper money, checks were also useful and the Bank of England made the first checkbook in the nineteenth century. Then, in the early1950s, the US introduced credit cards. This way of payment is still popular today.
However, we still need some cash for something special. I think paper money can make people feel warmer, and paper money cannot be replaced.
51. In the passage, which word probably means“现金”?
___________________________________________________probably means“现金”
52. How many paying choices were there before paper money in the second paragraph?
There were ____________________________________choices for people to pay.
53. When did Marco Polo find the paper money for the first time?

54. What payment has been popular with Americans since the 1950s?
____________________________have been popular with Americans since the 1950s.

【答案】51. Cash 52. three 53. in the thirteenth century 54. Credit cards55. development/ history
