24、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(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.

25、Between Disney’s 1950 cartoon and the 2015 live-action film, most people have watched Cinderella (灰姑娘) on TV or in cinemas. Now comes something a little different.

A new Cinderella film came out Sept 3 on Amazon’s streaming platform (流媒体平台). US singer and actress Camila Cabello plays Cinderella and British musical (音乐剧) actor Nicholas Galitzine plays the prince.

They sing and dance in the film, as it has been turned into a musical. There are Broadway-style performances (百老汇风格的表演) as well as pop songs.

Besides (除了) the change of music, Cinderella herself gets a modern twist (转变). In 2021, instead of being a helpless girl, Cinderella wants to build her own fashion brand (品牌). When the prince asks her to be his princess（王妃）, she doesn’t say “yes” right away. “I have dreams that I have to achieve,” she says.

Over the years, society （社会）has moved on, so the story changes, too, according to the BBC. “ Cinderella doesn’t need a handsome prince to help her live happily, ” it wrote.

Director Kay Cannon agrees. She says that Cinderella is a beloved （被喜爱的）and iconic （标志性的）character for girls. She wants girls and young women to see themselves in the character.

【1】What do we know about the new Cinderella film?

D．People can go to the cinema to watch it.

A．One should always be ready to help others.

B．Those who are loved have nothing to fear.

C．One more friend, one more way.

D．Try to depend on yourselves.

26、A Swiss inventor drove his solar-powered car(太阳能汽车) to a school in Shanghai. There is not enough oil in the world now. As time goes by, it becomes less and less, so what are we going to do when it runs out? Perhaps we will go back to using horses, carriages and bicycles.

In the Second World War, some people didn’t use gas made from petroleum(石油) in their cars. They made gas from wood and plants instead. The car didn’t go fast, but they ran, so this was better than nothing. However, in the future, we can’t cut down all our trees to make gas. We need our trees for other things, too.

Besides different types of gas, we can also use electricity to run our cars, but first we must make the electricity! Some countries have coal and they make electricity with that, but we might not always have coal, either. Other countries have big, strong rivers, and they can use the power of water to turn turbines(涡轮机) and make electricity more easily and cheaply. We are also able to get electricity from the wind. There are lots of windmills in the fields, and they can change the wind into electricity by turning around the wings of the windmills.

Which of these ways will be used to run our cars in the future?

【1】When might people have to go back to using horses and carriages?

A．When they are poor.

B．When they run out of oil.

C．When they need more exercise.

D．When there aren’t any big trees in the world.

B．Trees are needed for some other things besides making gas.

C．We got electricity from the rivers in the old days.

27、   Hurricanes(飓风)are large, dangerous storms. Every large storm in the Atlantic Ocean gets a name. There have been a lot of hurricanes so far in 2020. There have been so many hurricanes that weather scientists ran out of names for them.

There are different kinds of storms. A hurricane has the fastest winds. Their winds can be 74 miles per hour or more. A tropical (热带) storm has winds of 39 miles per hour or more. All of these storms bring strong rain. They can also cause flooding.

Hurricane season usually starts on June 1. It lasts until November 30. In 2020, it started early. The first storm formed on May 17. It was a tropical storm. Each storm gets a name. This storm was named Arthur.

Atlantic tropical storms have been named since the early 1950s. Only women’s names were used from 1953 until 1979. Today, storm names come from six lists of 21 names. Both men’s and women’s names go on the lists. The names are normally reused every six years. Not all names are used again. Some are taken off the list if they are given to a very destructive(毁灭性的)storm.

A storm named Wilfred took the last name on the 2020 list. Now, storms have to get their names from the Greek alphabet. So far two storms already have Greek names. They were named Alpha and Beta. Alpha hit Portugal on September 18. Its winds blew at 45 miles per hour. Beta hit the U.S.on September 21. It had 30-mile-per-hour winds. It soaked(浸泡) Texas and Louisiana with rain.
