【題目】You can't always predict（預(yù)測(cè)）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.

【1】What does the underlined word “forecast” mean in Chinese?

A. 預(yù)報(bào) B. 情況 C. 查詢

【2】For what purpose did Belyaev create the Lampbrella?

A. To remind people to take an umbrella.

B. To check the weather forecast.

C. To protect people from the rain.

【3】Which of the following shows how the Lampbrella works?

【4】Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

A. His creation was inspired by an experience from Belyaev's words in Paragraph 2.

B. Paragraph 5 mainly tell us about the Lampbrella’s safety.

C. The Lampbrella will be put into immediate production.

【5】The best title for this passage should be _____.

A. THE USE OF THE LAMPBRELLA

B. HOW TO PREVENT RAIN

C. THE NEW INVENTION－LAMPBRELLA

【答案】

【1】A

【2】C

【3】B

【4】C

【5】C

【解析】

試題分析：這篇短文主要介紹了設(shè)計(jì)師Belyaev為沒有聽天氣預(yù)報(bào)沒有帶雨傘的人設(shè)計(jì)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(dòng)打開，還可以通過傳感器感應(yīng)如果沒有人就會(huì)閉合。
