result in you getting wet That s why he created Lampbrella a lamp post with its own rain sensing umbrella The designer says he camp 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 standard looking street lamp fitted with an umbrella canopy It has a built in electric motor which can open or close the umbrella 7 on demand Sensors 传感器 then ensure that the umbrella offers pedestrians shelter whenever it starts raining In addition to the rain sensor there s 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 61 For what purpose did Belyaev create the Lampbrella A To check the weather forecast B To protect people from the rain C To predict a heavy rain D To remind people to take an umbrella 62 What do we know from Belaya s words in Paragraph 2 A It rains a lot in the city of Saint Petersburg B He enjoyed taking walks in the rain C His creation was inspired by an experience D Street lamps are protected by canopies 63 Which of the following shows how the Lampbrella works A canopy motor sensors B sensors motor canopy C motor canopy sensors D motor sensors canopy 64 What does paragraph 5 mainly tell us about the Lampbrella A Its safety B Its moving speed C Its appearance D Its installation 65 What can be inferred from the last paragraph A The Lampbrella could be put into immediate production B The designer is confident that his creation is practical C The Lampbrella would be put on show in Moscow D The designer will open a company to promote his product C Many people think that listening is a passive business It is just the opposite Listening well is an active exercise of our attention and hard work It is because they do not realize this or because they are not willing to do the work that most people do not listen well Listening well also requires total concentration upon someone else An essential part of listening well is the rule known as bracketing Bracketing includes the temporary giving up or setting aside of your own 8 prejudices and desires to experience as far as possible someone else s world from the inside stepping into his or her shoes Moreover since listening well involves bracketing it also involves a temporary acceptance of the other person Sensing this acceptance the speaker will seem quite willing to open up the inner part of his or her mind to the listener True communication is under way and the energy required for listening well is so great that it can be accomplished only by the will to extend oneself for mutual growth Most of the time we lack this energy Even though we may feel in our business dealings or social relationships that we are listening well what we are usually doing is listening selectively Often we have a prepared list in mind and wonder as we listen how we can achieve certain desired results to get the conversation over as quickly as possible or redirected in ways more satisfactory to us Many of us are far more interested in talking than in listening or we simply refuse to listen to what we don t want to hear It wasn t until toward the end of my doctor career that I have found the knowledge that one is being truly listened to is frequently therapeutic 有疗效 的 In about a quarter of the patients I saw surprising improvement was shown during the first few months of psychotherapy 心理疗法 before any of the roots of problems had been uncovered or explained There are several reasons for this phenomenon but chief among them I believe was the patient s sense that he or she was being truly listened to often for the first time in years and for some perhaps for the first time ever 66 The phrase stepping into his or her shoes in paragraph 2 probably means A experiencing the speaker s inside world B directing the talk to the desired results C focusing on one s own mind D preparing a topic list first 67 What is mainly discussed in Paragraph 2 A What to listen to B Problems in listening C How to listen well D Benefits of listening 68 According to the author in communication people tend to A open up their inner mind B set aside their prejudices C listen actively D listen purposefully 69 According to the author the patients improved mainly because A they had partners to talk to B they knew the roots of problems C they knew they were truly listened to D they were taken good care of 70 What type of writing the article likely to be A Popular scienceB Science fiction C A news report D A medical report 9 Part 1V Writing 45 marks Section A 10 marks Directions Read the following passage Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer Children are used to the parties that consist of junk food loud music and the like However today s environmental condition is serious so to save our environment we need to do our bit by making small changes in our activities like planning our kid s birthday parties in an eco friendly manner The first idea for the green birthday party is selecting a green location You

like cloth table covers instead of plastic For decorations avoid plastics by using natural things like plants candles etc What s more you can avoid using paper invitations and invite people by sending e mail invitations to them Thirdly plan the food according to the green theme Serve delicious but healthy food to the guests Fruits vegetables and nuts can be the most appropriate parts in party food
