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

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

people will be treated fairly when they are suspected or accused of a crime. sometimes these rights are called due process of law. in using these rights, a person should have the help of a lawyer.you have a right to protect against unreasonable searches and seizures. the police generally may not search you or your home, or take things you own, without a warrant. a warrant is a paper which states, very exactly , the place to be searched and the things to be taken. sometimes, however, the police will not need a warrant to search you or your property. if an officer sees you committing a crime, or if he has a good reason to believe you have committed a serious crime, he may arrest you and search you and the area right around you without a warrant.if you invite a police without a warrant to come into your house and he finds proof of crime, the evidence may be used against you in court. if you do not want an officer to search you or your home and he does not have a warrant, tell him that you do not give him the right to search. however, if the officer will not listen, do not try to stop him. it is dangerous to resist and it may be illegal to do so. any evidence which a policeman gets during an unlawful search and seizure cannot be used against you.来源:z.xx.k.compolice officers must act reasonably and fairly at all times. they should use physical force only when it is needed to

license d. an official written order【参考答案】43-46 dacb阅读理解-dmeeting people from another culture can be difficult. from the beginning, people may send the wrong signal. or they may pay no attention to signals from another person who is trying to develop a relationship.different cultures emphasize the importance of relationship building to a greater or lesser degree. for example, business in some countries is not possible until there is a relationship of trust. even with people at work, it is necessary to spend a lot of time in small talk, usually over a glass of tea, before they do any jobin many european countries - like the uk or france - people find it easier to build up a lasting working relationship at restaurants or cafes rather than at the office.talk and silence may also be different in some cultures. i once made a speech in thailandi had expected my speech to be a success and start a lively discussion; instead there was an uncomfortable silence. the people present just stared at me and smiledafter getting to know their ways better, i realized that they thought i was talking too much. in my own culture, we express meaning mainly through words, but people there sometimes feel too many words are unnecessary.even within northern europe, cultural differences can cause serious problems. certainly, english and german cultures share similar values; however, germans prefer to get down to business more quickly. we think that they are rude. in fact, this is just because one culture starts discussions and makes decisions more quickly.people from different parts of the world have different values, and sometimes these values are quite against each other. however, if we can understand them better, a multicultural environment will offer a wonderful chance for us to learn from each other.47in some countries, eating together at restaurants may make it easier for people to _.adevelop closer relations bshare the same culturecget to know each other dkeep

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】 本文是一篇说明文。文章说明了人的恐惧与心脏和大脑的关系。47a细节理解题。根据第四段 “the study showed that fearful faces
