Probably the first to use it were the Chinese 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. In the Far East in ancient times, the umbrella was allowed to be used only by those in high office.‎ In Europe, the Greeks were the first to use the umbrella as a sunshade. And the umbrella was commonly used in ancient Greece. But it is believed that the first persons in Europe to use the umbrella as protection against the rain were the ancient Romans.‎ During the Middle Ages, the use of umbrella practically disappeared. Then it appeared again in Italy in the late 16th century. And again it was considered as a symbol of power. By 1680, the umbrella appeared in France and later in England.‎ By the 18th century, the umbrella was used against rain throughout most of Europe.‎ Umbrellas have not changed much in style during all this time, though they have become much lighter in weight.

As kids, we have relied on it to settle disagreements with friends – from which channel to watch to who gets to eat the last ice cream – all because we think the results are completely random（随意的）.But are they?‎ Wang Zhijian, PhD, a professor at Zhejiang University, believes that there is a regulation behind this simple game. So, he gathered 360 students, divided them into ‎ groups of six and had each group play 300 rounds of rock-paper-scissors, reported USA Today.‎ After the first results, Wang thought he was wrong, because players chose each of the three moves about one-third of the time, suggesting that the game is random after all. However, Wang later noticed a surprising regulation of behavior in the data.‎ When players won a round, they usually stuck to the same choice. But when they lost, they tended to change to a more powerful move. For example, if Player A had just thrown down scissors to beat Player B’s paper, Player A was more likely to throw down scissors again while Player B was likely to choose rock, since rock beats scissors.‎ According to Wang, this might be a function that is called “conditional response”. So, for the next step of his study, as he told BBC, Wang plans to do some research about how human brains make quick decisions when competing.‎ Now that you’ve learned how to predict the moves of your opponent (对手), you’ll have an advantage next time you play rock-paper-scissors with your friends. But there is one problem: make sure they haven’t read about Wang’s study, or your advantage will disappear.‎ ‎33. Which of the following is TRUE about Wang Zhijian and his study?‎ A. He found a new game theory called “conditional response”.‎ B. He asked 360 students to play a total of 300 rounds of rock-paper-scissors.‎ C. By studying the first few results, he discovered the pattern behind the game.‎ D. His study suggests that the belief that rock-paper-scissors game is random is wrong.‎ ‎34. According to the study, if player A has just used rock to beat player B’s scissors, then A is more likely to choose _________ and B is more likely to choose _________.‎ A. rock; paper B. rock; scissors C. scissors; rock D. paper; scissors ‎35. What will Wang study about rock-paper-scissors in the future, according to the article?‎ A. The functions related to the game that are planted into our brains.‎ B. How human brains make quick decisions when competing in the game.‎ C. The psychology behind the players who always win the game.‎ D. How to improve players’ ability to predict opponents’ moves.‎ 第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ Many years ago in a small village, a poor farmer owed（欠） a moneylender a large sum of money.
