7.You can't always predict a heavy rain or remember your umbrella.But designer Mikhail Belyaev doesn't think that forgetting to check the weather forecast before heading out should result in you getting wet.TThat'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 peopleget 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(傘篷)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 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 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 lowspeed,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 at 2meters 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.

25.For what purpose did Belyaev create the Lampbrella?C
A.To predict a heavy rain.
B.To check the weather forecast.
C.To protect people from the rain.
D.To remind people to take an umbrella.
26.What do we know from Belyaev's words in Paragraph 2?A
A.His creation was inspired by an experience.
B.It rains a lot in the city of Saint Petersburg.
C.Street lamps are protected by canopies.
D.He enjoyed taking walks in the rain.
27.What does Paragraph 5mainly tell us about the Lampbrella?D
A.Its moving speed.    B.Its appearance.
C.Its installation.    D.Its safety.
28.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?C
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.

分析 本文屬于說明文閱讀,作者通過這篇文章主要向我們描述了lampbrella的人性化設(shè)計,為避雨的行人在安全方面的作了充分考慮.

解答 25.C.細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第一段話"That's why he created lampbrella"及之前的敘述可知,設(shè)計lampbrella的目的是讓忘記帶傘的人不遭雨淋.故答案選C.
26.A.推理判斷題.第二段話的主題句為首句"The designer says he come up with the idea after watching people get wet on streets in Russia"后文Belvacv所言是更為具體的描述,即本段中Belvacv的話語是點出了他設(shè)計lampbrella的靈感來源.故答案選A.
27.D.主旨概括題.根據(jù)本段"…so as not to cause harm to the pedestrians""…to protect from possible lighting strike""Being installed at 2 meters off the ground,it would only be a danger for the tallest of pedestrians"可以得知,這是lampbrella的人性化設(shè)計,為避雨的行人在安全方面的作了充分考慮.故選D.
28.C.推理判斷題.根據(jù)"there are no plans to take lampbrella into production",可知lampbrella還不會投入生產(chǎn),可排除AB選項;根據(jù)"he recently introduced his creation one Moscow Department"可排除D項;根據(jù)"insists this creation could be installed on any street where a lot of people walk but there are no canopies to provide shelter"可知Belyacv對他設(shè)計的lampbrella的實用性充滿自信.故答案選C.

點評 考察學(xué)生的細(xì)節(jié)理解和推理判斷能力,做細(xì)節(jié)理解題時一定要找到文章中的原句,和題干進行比較,再做出正確的選擇.在做推理判斷題不要以個人的主觀想象代替文章的事實,要根據(jù)文章事實進行合乎邏輯的推理判斷.

2.Cut out part of a healthy person's liver and transplant it into a sick person--it sounds like a complicated and dangerous operation,not to mention very expensive.But it is sometimes the only possible cure for a seriously ill patient with liver disease.
Until now British scientists have just announced a new stem cell technique,which allows them to grow healthy liver cells outside human bodies.According to the researchers,it could be another five to 10 years before the technique can actually be used to help patients with liver disease.However,they say the method might one day replace liver transplants altogether.The study was led by the University of Cambridge and the Welcome Trust Sanger Institute,a British genomics and genetics research institute.It was published in the journal nature on October 12,2011.
The researchers took skin cells from a patient with a mutation (變異) in a gene called alphal-antitrypsin (a-l抗胰蛋白酶).This gene makes a protein that protects our bodies against inflammation (炎癥).People with changed or damaged alphal-antitrypsin are not able to release the protein correctly from the liver,so the protein is trapped there and eventually leads to liver cirrhosis (肝硬化).
Scientists then used an advanced technique to cut away the faulty section of DNA from a stem cell and replace it with a corrected one,according to the journal.The stem cells went on to produce fresh and healthy liver cells with normal protein levels.Scientists put the new liver cells into mice and found that they worked very well.
Stem cells are the life source of all other cells in the body.They could transform medicine,providing treatment for blindness,spinal cord injuries and other serous injuries.They could also be used to produce new cells for damaged organs.
David Lomas,a Cambridge biology professor who worked on the team,said:"If we can use a patient's own skins cells to produce liver cells that we can put back into the patient,we may prevent the future need for transplantation."

73.Why do some people get liver cirrhosis according to the article?C
A.Because their bodies are lacking in alphal-antitrypsin.
B.Because their skin cells are not able to protect against inflammation.
C.Because the alphal-antitrypsin in their bodies is changed or damaged.
D.Because their liver releases too high a level of protein.
74.According to British scientists,liver transplant mightA.
A.become history sooner or later
B.be replaced by a new stem cell technique in five years
C.be the only possible cure liver disease in the future
D.be prevented in the future
75.What can be inferred from the passage?D
A.Stem cells can keep liver cells healthy and fresh.
B.Equaling medicine,stem cells can cure blindness,spinal cord injuries and other serous injuries
C.Stem cells can replace the damaged organs.
D.All other cells in the body can't work well without stem cells.
