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.That’s why he created Lampbrella，a lamp post with its own rainsensing umbrella.
The designer says he e 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 appropriate to have a canopy(伞篷)built into a street lamp，”he said.
The Lampbrella is a standardlooking street lamp fitted with an umbrella canopy.It has a builtin electric motor which can open or close the umbrella on demand.Sensors(传感器)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 low speed，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(安装) 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 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.
【小题1】For what purpose did Belyaev create the Lampbrella?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.【小题2】What do we know from Belyaev’s words in Paragraph 2?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.【小题3】Which of the following shows how the Lampbrella works?A．motor→canopy→sensors B．sensors→motor→canopy C．motor→sensors→canopyD．canopy→motor→sensors【小题4】What does Paragraph 5 mainly tell us about the Lampbrella?A．Its moving speed.B．Its appearance.C．Its installation.D．Its safety.【小题5】What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A．The designer will open a pany 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.C

解析：本文为一篇科普文章。主要介绍了Mikhail Belyaev 发明的一种雨伞。生活中我们常用的雨伞各种各样，那Mikhail Belyaev发明的雨伞又会是怎样的呢？让我们一起来一睹为快吧！
【小题1】解析：选C。推理判断题。根据第三段中的最后一句Sensors(传感器)then ensure that the umbrella offers pedestrians shelter whenever it starts raining.知Mikhail Belyaev发明的这种雨水感应式路灯伞是为了下雨时给行人提供遮蔽，因此选项C符合题意。
【小题2】．解析：选A。推理判断题。根据第二段Mikhail Belyaev的叙述，有次下雨他开车经过一条大街，看到街灯亮了，照着那些试图避雨的人们，他突发奇想，在灯柱上安上个伞蓬就可以在下雨时为行人提供遮蔽了，可知本文主要讲述的Mikhail Belyaev的发明是受一次经历的启发，因此选项A符合题意。
【小题3】解析：选B。细节理解题。根据文中第三段的叙述，canopy是用来为行人遮蔽雨的，它应该排在最后；再根据本段中的It has a builtin electric motor which can open or close the umbrella on demand.可知motor控制canopy，而motor的运动是受sensors的控制，故三者的排列关系是sensors→motor→canopy。
【小题4】解析：选D。主旨大意题。根据第五段中的关键信息so as not to cause harm to the pedestrians...to protect from possible lightning strike和it would only be a danger for the tallest of pedestrians可知第五段主要描述了这种伞的安全性，故选项D为正确答案。
【小题5】解析：选C。推理判断题。根据最后一段中的第一句While there are no plans to take the Lampbrella into production...可知还没有计划要把雨水感应式路灯伞投入生产，故B项错误；文中提到虽然没计划投入生产，但设计者把它介绍给了一个莫斯科的部门，而且他认为他的发明可以安装在行人多而无遮挡的灯柱上，可知设计者对自己的发明充满信心，因此答案为C；文中未提及选项A“发明者将自己开办公司来推广他的产品”以及选项D“灯伞将在莫斯科举行展览”。
