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 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

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】 这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍设计师mikhail belyaev设计的lampbrella，它能给街道上的人们遮雨。虽然这一设计还没有实施，但是mikhail belyaev却对自己的设计很自信。66c考查细节理解。从第一段的“but designer mikhail belyaev doesnt think that forgetting to check the

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

groups become increasingly integrated. experts suggest a possible model way may be reinventing a “garden city”chinas megacities are bursting at the borders and the country is now undergoing the quickest and biggest urbanization in the history of mankind. it is estimated that by 2025, china will have 400 million more people living in its cities, raising its urban population to 900 million. besides, new satellite towns are mushrooming on the urban fringes while city ring roads are rippling outwards into the countryside at amazing speed. satellite maps collected by professor joshua bolchover at the university of hong kong bring the problem sharply into focus. they track the changing ruralurban framework in the past 30 years, and suggest that cities are cruelly destroying surrounding rural land and rapidly reducing the amount of arable(可耕种的)land, which gives way to new residential blocks, new industrial zones, new financial centers and the other inevitable signs and signatures of economic growth.this, however, is not sustainable growth pattern, especially when china has the worlds largest population to feed. so concerned urban planners are starting to note the social and physical effects of diaspora(大移居)when replaced rural communities are forced into the cities.on the other hand, a trend of thought is gradually taking shape and this is the concept of the “garden city”， a combination of country and city that is being proposed by architects and city planners. hua li, from tao architects, is among the many professionals with such a voice. his argument is supported by a longterm study on this subject. as hua says, the answer is to preserve patches of productive farmland within urban boundaries. less transportation means we have fresh agricultural products at lower costs and less carbon emission in the city. and urban farmland can also be showcased for agricultural tourism and education.the concept is already practiced at grass roots level.agriculture has gone into the air, up to roof and balcony in some communities in the cities. its common to see organic “hanging garden” on the roof of some traditional courtyard home. according to some people, the rooftop project translates into practical benefits, such as safe, nutritious vegetables and a cooler home in summer. some say thanks to the tomatoes they plant that are natural insect killers, therere fewer mosquitoes. apart from these, it also contributes to better bonding with neighbors. zhang, a doctor in beijing, began creating his hanging garden five years ago. since his garden became home to 30 kinds of vegetables and fruitall enough to feed his family, neighbors have enjoyed dropping by for a relaxing chat or just to see how well the lovely vegetable
