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 honour 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 wasn't until the twentieth century that the umbrellas for women began to be made in all kinds of colours. 根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。 )41.Ancient people first used umbrellas as A.a symbol of honour 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.

Modern eye glasses were invented around 1,000 years ago.They were more than just a convenient way to read.Without glasses,writers,scientists or teachers who could not see properly had to memorize everything.After about ten years of poor eyesight,they could not remember well enough and could not work.Glasses meant that people could work into their old age.People who wanted to remember some information could write it down and read it. Eye glasses are one of the world's greatest inventions and were probably worn by the people who designed the first telephones and cars. 根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。 ()46.What does Umberto Eco think is the most important invention of all time?

He became blind in his early 50s.However,he can still enjoy movies in the"talking movie" club-Xindeng Theatre.The club is in Kunming,Yunnan.A group of volunteers there describe movies to blind people. "I listened to a movie for the first time in the summer of 2019,and it was amazing.The volunteers did a great job,"said Wang. Describing movies to blind people can be challenging(有挑战性的).The volunteers must watch a movie three or four times to know everything in the movie.This way,they can describe the movie very clearly. Zhou Quan started the club in 2017."Movies are for everybody,"said Zhou."Xindeng Theatre hopes to share movies with blind people and help to light up their lives."Thanks to the special club,many blind people go out of their homes and their lives are more interesting. Now many blind people come to Xindeng Theatre to "watch"movies every week. "They can enjoy the movies here.I'm so glad that I bring enjoyment to them,"said Zhou.

(D) Most of us think the telephone was invented by Alexander Graham Bell.56. In fact,an Italian named Antonio Meucci was officially recognized()as the inventor a few years ago.Who is Meucci and why wasn't he known for his invention at the time? Antonio Meucci was born in Italy in 1808.He studied engineering and drawing.During his studies,Meucci started to experiment with electricity.57. When two places were connected with wire,people in those places could hear each other talk In 1850,Meucci and his wife moved to New York.Meucci was worried about his wife, because she had become very ill.58. To solve this problem,he connected metal cables between his home and his workshop.This way,they could talk to each other conveniently. Meucci invited a group of people to see his new invention.They listened in amazement as the voice of a singer was heard through the wires.59. Even worse,Meucci never applied for a patent (on his invention.Meanwhile,Alexander Graham Bell was working on the same idea and in 1876 the patent for the telephone was given to him. In 2002,more than a century after Meucci's death,his work was finally recognized by the government.60. 根据短文内容，从方框中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，使短文意思通顺、内容完整。 A.He needed to keep in touch with her all the time.

(E) After a game like football,the players might have an X-ray in the hospital if they hurt their legs or arms.A dentist can use X-rays to look at teeth.And airport workers use an X- ray machine to check objects before a plane leaves.Nowadays,X-ray technology is widely used in medicine and other fields. X-rays were first discovered by a German scientist,Wilhelm Conrad Rontgen (1845- 1923).He found them quite by accident in 1895.One day,he discovered that an unknown kind of radiation(放射线)could hardly pass through hard objects like bones(骨头).Later, Rontgen took a photo of his wife's hand.It clearly showed her ring and her bones.That was the first X-ray photo in the world. Why is there an "X"in the word X-ray?It's because Rontgen couldn't explain exactly how it worked.He just knew that X-rays were new and useful for science.In fact,X-rays soon became an important tool in medicine.With the help of X-rays,doctors could see inside the human body for the first time without surgery(外科手术). Rontgen was awarded the first Nobel Prize(诺贝尔奖)in physics in 1901 for his discovery.When he was asked what he was thinking at the moment of discovery,he replied,“I didn't think,I investigated(研究).”Rontgen gave away his Nobel Prize money to his university.And he never took out any patents()on X-rays,to make sure that the world could freely make use of his discovery. 根据短文内容，回答下列问题。 61.Where is X-ray technology used? 62.When were X-rays discovered? 63.Whose hand was in the first X-ray photo? 64.Why did Rontgen name the ray "X-ray"? 65.What do you think of Rontgen? 八、书面表达。 昨天你校的发明节隆重开幕，在今天的英语口语课上，老师要求同学们围绕“你所知道 的发明创造”这一话题进行简短发言。请你根据下表内容提示为此次发言做准备。 要求：1.发言稿需要包括表格中所有的内容，可适当发挥； 2.80词左右，发言稿的开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 What Who When The telephone Alexander Bell In1876 The car Karl Benz In1886 The TV John Baird Around 1925 Hello,everyone!There are many inventions that have changed the world.Here is a short introduction of some useful inventions.
