But designer Mikhail Belvacv doesnt think that forgetting to check the weather forecast before heading out should result in you getting wet. Thats why he created lampbrella, a lamp post with its own rain sensing umbrella. The designer says he come up with the idea after watching people get wet on streets in Russia. “once, I was driving on a central Saint Petersburg street and saw the street lamps lighting up people trying to hide from the rain. I thought it would be appropriate to have a canopy(傘蓬)built into a street lamp.” he said. The lampbrella is a standard-looking street lamp fitted with an umbrella canopy. It has a built-in electric motor which can open or close the umbrella on demand. Sensors(傳感器)then ensure that the umbrella offers pedestrians shelter whenever it starts raining. In addition to the rain sensor, theres also a 360°motion sensor on the biberglass street lamp which detects whether anyones using the lampbrella. After three minutes of not being used the canopy is closed. According to the designer, the lampbrella would move at a relatively low speed, so as not to cause harm to the pedestrians. Besides, it would be grounded to protect from possible lighting strike. Each lampbrella would offer enough shelter for several people. Being installed at 2 meters off the ground, it would only be a danger for the tallest of pedestrians. While there are no plans to take lampbrella into production, Belyacv says he recently introduced his creation one Moscow Department, and insists this creation could be installed on any street where a lot of people walk but there are no canopies to provide shelter. 66. For what purpose did Belyacv create the lampbrella?A. To predict a heavy rain B. To check the weather forecast C. To protect people from the rain D. To remind people to take an umbrella 67.

B 推理判斷題。本文第一自然段是簡單介紹英國的新交通法規(guī),故本題選B。61. D 計算題。由第一和第二自然段的大意可知本題選D,即當(dāng)場不能交罰款的外國司機(jī)罰款的費(fèi)用是900+ 80=980英鎊。62. D 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由文章最后一句可知本題選D。63. C 推理判斷題。由第六自然段和第七自然段的首句可知本題選C。D【要點(diǎn)綜述】本文為說明文體。本文介紹了設(shè)計者M(jìn)ikhail Belvacv所設(shè)計的lampbrella(路燈雨傘)。介紹了設(shè)計lampbrella的靈感來源、基本構(gòu)造和工作原理等。66.【答案】C【解析】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段話“Thats why he created lampbrella”及之前的敘述可知,設(shè)計lampbrella的目的是讓忘記帶傘的人不遭雨淋。故答案選C。67.【答案】A【解析】推理判斷題。第二段話的主題句為首句“The designer says he come up with the idea after watching people get wet on streets in Russia”后文Belvacv所言是更為具體的描述,即本段中Belvacv的話語是點(diǎn)出了他設(shè)計lampbrella的靈感來源。故答案選A。68.【答案】B【解析】細(xì)節(jié)歸納題。根據(jù)文章第三段話的敘述“It has a built-in electric motor which can open or close the umbrella on demand. Sensors(傳感器)then ensure that the umbrella offers pedestrians shelter whenever it starts raining.”可知,先是發(fā)動機(jī)的運(yùn)轉(zhuǎn),然后發(fā)動機(jī)打開傘,最后是傳感器的運(yùn)轉(zhuǎn)。故選B。69.【答案】D【解析】主旨概括題。根據(jù)本段“so as not to cause harm to the pedestrians”“ to protect from possible lighting strike”“ Being installed at 2 meters off the ground, it would only be a danger for the tallest of pedestrians”可以得知,這是lampbrella的人性化設(shè)計,為避雨的行人在安全方面的作了充分考慮。故選D。70.【答案】C【解析】推理判斷題。根據(jù)“there are no plans to take lampbrella into production”,可知lampbrella還不會投入生產(chǎn),可排除AB選項(xiàng);根據(jù)“he recently introduced his creation one Moscow Department”可排除D項(xiàng);根據(jù)“insists this creation could be installed on any street where a lot of people walk but there are no canopies to provide shelter”可知Belyacv對他設(shè)計的lampbrella的實(shí)用性充滿自信。故答案選C。
