But designer Mikha

43、il Belyaev doesn t think that forgetting to check the weather forecast before heading out should result in you getting wet. That s why he created Lampbrella ，a lamp post with its own rain sensing umbrella.The designer says he came up with the idea after watching people get wet on streets in Russia.

44、“ Once，I was driving on a central Saint Petersburg street andsaw the street lamps lighting up people trying to hide from the rain. I thought it would be appropriate to have a canopy（ 伞蓬 ）built into a street lamp.” he said.The Latuphrella is a standard 一 looking street lamp fitted with an umbrella ca

45、nopy. It has a built in electric motor which can open or close the umbrella on demand. Sensors then ensure that the umbrella offers pedestrians shelter whenever it starts raining.In addition to the rain sensor ， there s also a 3600motion sensor on the fiberglass street lamp which detects whether any

46、one s using the Lamphrella. After three minutes of not being used ， the canopy is closed.According to the designer ， the Larnpbrella 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 Lampbre

47、lla would offer enough shelter forseveral 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 the L.amphrella into production ， Belyaev says he recently introduced his creation to one Moscow Department， and in

48、sists thiscreation could be installed on any street where a lot of people walk but there are no canopies to provide shelter.12. For what purpose did Belyaev create the Lamphrella?A. To protect people from the rain.B. To check the weather forecast.C. To predict a heavy rain.D. To remind people to tak

49、e anumbrella.13. What do we know from Belyaev s words in Paragraph 2?A. He enjoyed taking walks in the rain.B. Street lamps are protected bycanopies.C.

50、rella?A. Its moving speed.B. Its appearance.C. Its safety.D. Its installation.15. What can he inferred from the last paragraph?A. The designer will open a company to promote his product.B. The designer is confident that his creation is practical.C. The Lamphrella could be put into immediate producti

51、on.D. The Lampbrella would he put on show in Moscow.【答案】12. A 13. D 14. C 15. B【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了一种的新发明，这种发明可以让你即使在下雨天没带雨衣或者雨伞的时候也不必害怕被淋湿。【 12 题详解】推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Belyaev doesn t think that forgetting to check theweather forecast before heading out should result in you getting wet. That s whyhe crea

52、ted Lampbrella ， a lamp post with its own rain sensing umbrella. ”可知， Belyaev 发明Lamphrella的目的是避免没带雨具的人淋雨，故A项正确。【 13 题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The designer says he cameup with the idea after watchingpeople get wet on streets in Russia. ”及 Belyaev 的话可知，他发明的灵感来自于在俄罗斯的街头看到人们淋雨这个经历，故D 项正确。【 14 题详解】主旨大意题。根据第五段中的&

53、quot; not to cause harm to the pedestrians " , "protect frompossible lighting strike "及"it would only be a danger for the tallest of pedestrians ”等信息可知，本段主要介绍了Lamphrella的安全性，故 C项正确。【15题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段中的"and insists this creation could be installedon anystreet where a lot of

54、people walk but there are no canopies to provide shelter”可知，设计者Belyaev坚持认为，这一发明可以安装在任何一条有很多人走，但没有遮阳篷提供庇护的街道上，由此可知，设计者认为这一发明很有实用价值，故B项正确。【点睛】推理判断题的难度在于要根据文章已知信息进行合乎逻辑的推断，切不可凭借主观臆断，例如本篇第4题，抓住Belyaev对这项发明的态度是关键，观点态度通常是由think ,insist,believe 等词引出的，根据最后一段中的"and insists this creation could be install

55、ed on any street where a lot of people walk but there are no canopies to provide shelter ”可知，设计者 Belyaev坚持认为，这一发明可以安装在任何一条有很多人走，但 没有遮阳篷提供庇护的街道上，由此可知，设计者认为这一发明很有实用价值。第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Change is scary. 16 It can go hand in hand with the fear that we might hu
