weather forecast before heading out should result in you getting wet. thats why he created lampbrella, a lamp post with its own rainsensing umbrella.the designer says he came 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(伞篷)built into a street lamp，” he said.the lampbrella is a standardlooking street lamp fitted with an umbrella canopy. it has a builtin electric motor which can open or close the umbrella on demand. sensors(传感器)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 fiberglass street lamp which detects whether anyone is 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 lightning strike. each lampbrella would offer enough shelter for several people. being installed(安装) at 2 meters off the ground, it would only be a danger for the tallest of pedestrians.while there are no plans to take the lampbrella into production, belyaev says he recently introduced his creation to one moscow department, and insists his 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 belyaev 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.67what do we know from belyaevs words in paragraph 2?a. his creation was inspired by an experience.b. it rains a lot in the city of saint petersburg.c. street lamps are protected by canopies.d. he enjoyed taking walks in the rain.68which of the following shows how the lampbrella works?a. motorcanopysensors b. sensorsmotorcanopyc. motorsensorscanopy d. canopymotorsensors69what does paragraph 5 mainly tell us about the lampbrella?a. its moving speed. b. its appearance.c. its installation. d. its safety.70what can be inferred from the last paragraph?a. the designer will open a company to promote his product.b. the lampbrella could be put into immediate production.c. the designer is confident that his creation is practical.d. the lampbrella would be put on show in moscow.【要点综述】

as in the head，according to a study that has found a link between the cycles of a beating heart and the chance of someone feeling fear.tests on healthy volunteers found that they were more likely to feel a sense of fear at the moment when their hearts are contracting(收缩)and pumping blood around their bodies，compared with the point when the heartbeat is relaxed.scientists say the results suggest that the heart is able to influence how the brain responds to a fearful event，depending on which point it is at in its regular cycle of contraction and relaxation.sarah garfinkel at the brighton and sussex medical school said：“our study shows for the first time that the way in which we deal with fear is different depending on when we see fearful pictures in relation to our heart.”the study tested 20 healthy volunteers on their reactions to fear as they were shown pictures of fearful faces.dr garfinkel said，“the study showed that fearful faces are better noticed when the heart is pumping than when it is relaxed.thus our hearts can also affect what we see and what we dont seeand guide whether we see fear.”to further understand this relationship，the scientists also used a brain scanner(扫描仪)to show how the brain influences the way the heart changes a persons feeling of fear.“we have found an important mechanism by which the heart and brain speak to each other to change our feelings and reduce fear，” dr garfinkel said.“we hope that by increasing our understanding about how fear is dealt with and ways that it could be reduced, we may be able to develop more successful treatments for anxiety disorders，and also for those who may be suffering from serious stress disorder.”47what is the finding of the study?a. ones heart affects how he feels fear.b. fear is a result of ones relaxed heartbeat.c. fear has something to do with ones health.d. ones fast heartbeats are likely to cause fear.48the study was carried out by analyzing _. a. volunteers heartbeats when they saw terrible picturesb. the time volunteers saw fearful pictures and their health conditionsc. volunteers reactions to horrible pictures and data from their brain scansd. different pictures shown to volunteers and their heartbrain communication49which of the following is closest in meaning to “mechanism” in paragraph 6?a. order. b. system.c. machine. d. treatment.50this study may contribute to _a. treating anxiety and stress betterb. explaining the cycle of fear and anxietyc. finding the key to the heartbrain communicationd. understanding different fears in our hearts and heads【要点综述】

the 100th birthday of pablo neruda (1904-1973).born with the name neftali ricardo reyes basolto, he was a tall, shy and lonely boy. he loved to read and started to write poetry when he was ten. the american poet walt whitman, whose framed picture neruda later kept on his table, became a major influence on his work.however, his father did not like the idea of having a poet for a son and tried to discourage him from writing. to cover up the publication of his first poem, he took the pen name pablo neruda.in 1924 neruda gained fame with his most widely read work “twenty love poems and a song of despair. yet his rich experience as a diplomat and exile made him go beyond the theme of love. his work also reflected the political struggle of the left and development of south america. he was awarded the nobel prize for literature in 1971.neruda loved the sea which he saw as creative, destructive and forever moving. he found inspiration in the power and freedom of the waves and the seabirds on the coast. “i need the sea because it teaches me,” he wrote. “i move in the university of the waves.” he loved how the sea forever renewed itself, a renewal echoed in his work.5. the underlined word “picasso” can probably be replaced by “_”.a. most important person b. famous person from picassoc. freedom fighter in picassod. poem fan6. neftali ricardo reyes basolto took the pen name pablo neruda because _.a. literary greats usually used the pen name b. his father encouraged him to use the namec. he wanted to prevent his father knowing the publicationd. he was greatly influenced by other poets7. which of the following is not the theme of his works?a. love. b. political struggle. c. social reform. d. development of south america.8. the last paragraph mainly tells us _.a. the sea gave neruda vast writing inspiration b. the beautiful scenery along the chile coastc. nerudas poems were widely read overseas d. neruda loved to write his poems near the sea5. a 词义猜测题。根据下一句的意义“他被各个阶层的智利人所爱戴着，他的作品广为传诵，备受尊重。”可猜测出：他曾经被誉为诗坛“巨匠”。6. c 细节题。根据短文第三段“to cover up the publication of his first poem”一句可知：聂鲁达的父亲不赞成儿子当诗人，经常想方设法阻止他的创作。为了掩人耳目发表第一部诗集，诗人就为自己取了个笔名聂鲁达。7. c 判断题。第四段二、三句表述的意思是：聂鲁达有着丰富的阅历，他当过外交官，曾流亡国外。因此，他的诗歌主题多样，并不仅仅限于男女情爱。他的作品还反映了左派政治斗争以及南美洲的发展。由此判断可知。8. a 段落主旨题。根据“he found inspiration in the power and freedom of the waves and the seabirds on the coast”和“he loved how the sea forever renewed itself, a renewal echoed in his work”两句可知：海浪磅礴的力量、自由的激荡，海岸上展翅翱翔的海鸟，这一切都给予聂鲁达无尽的创作灵感。他喜欢大海，还因为大海在永不停息地更新着自己。而他的诗作也犹如大海一样，不断地推陈出新。阅读理解-c i stood outside new yorks madison square garden and just stared, almost speechless. i was a farm boy from county kilkenny, a child who some thought would never walk, let alone go as far as i had in the world. from the day i was born, there was a problem. the doctors at the dublin hospital told my parents i had phocomelia, a deformity that affected both legs below the knee, which were outward and shorter than normal and each foot had just three toes. life was tough. i couldnt stand, much less walk. i rarely, left the farmhouse-and then only in someones arms. mam bundled me up whenever she took me to town, no matter the season. “the world will see him when he can walk,” she told dad. “and he will walk.” mam devoted herself to helping me. she tried everything to get me on my feet. when i was three, she and dad took me to a clinic in dublin. a few weeks later we returned to dublin with my artificial limbs (肢). back home i practiced walking with my new limbs. “theres nothing anyone can do but you cant,” mam said. “you and i are going to walk through town.” the next day mam dressed me in my finest clothes. she wore a summer dress and fixed her hair and makeup. dad drove us to the church. we stepped out of the car. mam took my hand. “hold your head up high, now, ronan,” she said. we walked 300 meters to the post office. it was the farthest id walked, and i was sweatin
