Question

You can't always predict（預(yù)測）a heavy rain or remember your umbrella. But designer Belyaev doesn't think that forgetting to check the weather forecast before going out should cause you to get wet. That's why he created Lampbrella, a lamp post（柱）with its own rain－sensing（感應(yīng)）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 fit to have a canopy(傘篷) built into a street lamp，” he said.

The Lampbrella is a post－looking street lamp fitted with an umbrella canopy. It has a built－in electric machine which can open or close the umbrella. Sensors(傳感器) then make sure that the umbrella offers walkers shelter（遮蔽） whenever it starts raining.

Besides the rain sensor, there's also a 360° moving sensor on the street lamp which finds 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 rather low speed, in order not to hurt the walkers. Besides, it would be fixed on the ground to protect from possible lightning strike. Each Lampbrella would offer enough shelter for several people. Being fixed at 2 meters off the ground, it would only be a danger for the tallest of walkers.

While there are no plans to take the Lampbrella into production, Belyaev says he recently introduced his creation to one Moscow Department, and believes that his creation could be fixed on any street where a lot of people walk but there are no canopies to provide shelter.

【解析】

試題分析：這篇短文主要介紹了設(shè)計師Belyaev為沒有聽天氣預(yù)報沒有帶雨傘的人設(shè)計的一種公共防雨工具，燈柱雨傘。它可以通過傳感器在下雨天自動打開，還可以通過傳感器感應(yīng)如果沒有人就會閉合。

1.詞義猜測題。根據(jù)短文第一段設(shè)計師Belyaev認(rèn)為沒有看天氣預(yù)報就出門不應(yīng)該被淋濕，故選A。

2.推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段But designer Belyaev doesn't think that forgetting to check the weather forecast before going out should cause you to get wet. That's why he created Lampbrella�？芍猼hat指上文被雨水淋濕，故選C

3.短文It has a built－in electric machine which can open or close the umbrella. Sensors(傳感器) then make sure that the umbrella offers walkers shelter（遮蔽） whenever it starts raining. 可知是傳感器傳給機(jī)器什么時間打開雨傘故選B

4.是非判斷題。根據(jù)第六段While there are no plans to take the Lampbrella into production,可知還沒有計劃將它投入生產(chǎn)，故選C

5.短文的大意可知主要介紹了一項使人們免于淋雨的新發(fā)明故選C
