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. 41. Ancient people first used umbrellas as _______. A. a symbol of honor B. protection against the sun C. a symbol of power D. protection against the rain 42. According to the passage, the umbrella was probably first used in ancient ________. A. Egypt B. Babylon C. Rome D. China 43. The underlined word “royal” might mean ________ in Chinese. A. 皇室的 B. 富裕的 C. 中产的 D. 平民的 44. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true? A. The ancient Greeks used the umbrella in their daily life. B. Europeans hardly used the umbrella during the middle ages. C. The umbrellas for women were made colorful in ancient times. D. The style of the umbrella hasn’t changed a lot since it was invented. 45. This passage is mainly about ________. A. the sales of the umbrella B. the differences among umbrellas C. the invention of the umbrella D. the history and the use of the umbrella 四、综合填空 Many people travel to different places in the world by air. Usually it takes passengers a long time, perhaps half a day, to stay on the plane. So airlines o___46___ passengers food. But it is common that they feel bad about food taste. Do you agree? To solve this problem, airlines try hard to i___47___ their food. They would like to do so because they don’t want to lose c___48___. However, according to scientific research, part of the reason why plane food tastes bad is that at a high altitude (海拔，高度) we cannot taste things as well as we do on the g___49___. Also scientists have found that our noses become very dry even b___50___ a plane takes off. As the plane moves up, the change in air pressure (气压) reduces one third of the sensitivity (敏感性) of our taste buds (味蕾). So our taste buds become senseless. The sad fact, however, is that our noses don’t know it. All of these help explain why food on the plane tastes so bad. They a___51___ help explain why airlines choose to offer passengers salty and spicy (辛辣的) food. W___52___ doing so, the food would be tasteless. Now there are many studies on this. According to one of them, some volunteers are asked to lie with their feet higher than their heads for weeks. And scientists write down their f___53___ about food taste. Though scientists try t___54___ best, it is not as easy as they thought. Because they can’t deal with the special environment successfully, such as the change in air pressure, making food taste g____55____ is still hard for them. 九年级英语 一、选择题 【1题答案】 【答案】B 【2题答案】 【答案】A 【3题答案】 【答案】A 【4题答案】 【答案】A 【5题答案】 【答案】B 【6题答案】 【答案】B 【7题答案】 【答案】C 【8题答案】 【答案】C 【9题答案】 【答案】A 【10题答案】 【答案】A 【11题答案】 【答案】B 【12题答案】 【答案】A 【13题答案】 【答案】A 【14题答案】 【答案】B 【15题答案】 【答案】A 【16题答案】 【答案】B 【17题答案】 【答案】B 【18题答案】 【答案】A 【19题答案】 【答案】A 【20题答案】 【答案】C 【21题答案】 【答案】C 【22题答案】 【答案】D 【23题答案】 【答案】B 【24题答案】 【答案】A 【25题答案】 【答案】D 【26题答案】 【答案】B 【27题答案】 【答案】A 【28题答案】 【答案】A 【29题答案】 【答案】C 【30题答案】 【答案】C 二、完形填空 A 【31~40题答案】 【答案】31.
