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．

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(jì)，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(jì)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(diǎn)出了他設(shè)計(jì)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(jì)，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(huì)投入生產(chǎn)，可排除AB選項(xiàng)；根據(jù)"he recently introduced his creation one Moscow Department"可排除D項(xiàng)；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(duì)他設(shè)計(jì)的lampbrella的實(shí)用性充滿自信．故答案選C．
點(diǎn)評(píng) 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(shí)一定要找到文章中的原句，和題干進(jìn)行比較，再做出正確的選擇．在做推理判斷題不要以個(gè)人的主觀想象代替文章的事實(shí)，要根據(jù)文章事實(shí)進(jìn)行合乎邏輯的推理判斷．
