According to this Passage, the umbrella was probably first invented [br]
To us it seems so natural to put up an umbrella to keep the water off when it rains. But actually the umbrella was not invented as protection against rain. Its first use was as a shade 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, as early as the eleventh century B.C.
In Europe, the Greeks were the first to use the umbrella as a sunshade. And the umbrella was in common use 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 the umbrella practically disappeared. Then it appeared again in Italy in the late sixteenth century. And again it was considered a symbol of power and authority. By 1680, the umbrella appeared in France, and later on in England.
By the eighteenth 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. It wasn’t until the twentieth century that women’s umbrellas began to be made, in a whole variety of colours.
选项
A、when and how the umbrella was invented.
B、why the umbrella was so popular in Europe.
C、the development of the umbrella.
D、the history and use of the umbrella.
答案
D
解析
主旨题。本文一开始讲到伞起初不是被用来遮雨的,而是用来遮太阳的,后提到首先使用伞的人及伞在欧洲的使用情况及发展情况,所以这篇短文主要讲的是伞的历史和使用情况,D为最合适的选项。
