But designer Mikhail Belvacv doesnt think that forgetting to check the weather forecast before heading out should result in you getting wet. Thats why he created lampbrella, a lamp post with its own rain sensing umbrella. The designer says he come 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(伞蓬)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(传感器)then ensure that the umbrella offers pedestrians shelter whenever it starts raining. In addition to the rain sensor, theres also a 360motion sensor on the biberglass street lamp which detects whether anyones 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 lighting strike. Each lampbrella would offer enough shelter for several people. Being installed at 2 meters off the ground, it would only be a danger for the tallest of pedestrians. While there are no plans to take lampbrella into production, Belyacv says he recently introduced his creation one Moscow Department, and insists this creation could be installed on any street where a lot of people walk but there are no canopies to provide shelter. 66.

The designer will open a company to promote his productB. The lampbrella could be put into immediate production C. The designer is confident that his creation is practicalD.

C 推理判断题。由第六自然段和第七自然段的首句可知本题选C。D【要点综述】本文为说明文体。本文介绍了设计者Mikhail Belvacv所设计的lampbrella（路灯雨伞）。介绍了设计lampbrella的灵感来源、基本构造和工作原理等。66.【答案】C【解析】细节理解题。根据第一段话“Thats why he created lampbrella”及之前的叙述可知，设计lampbrella的目的是让忘记带伞的人不遭雨淋。故答案选C。67.【答案】A【解析】推理判断题。第二段话的主题句为首句“The designer says he come up with the idea after watching people get wet on streets in Russia”后文Belvacv所言是更为具体的描述，即本段中Belvacv的话语是点出了他设计lampbrella的灵感来源。故答案选A。68.【答案】B【解析】细节归纳题。根据文章第三段话的叙述“It has a built-in electric motor which can open or close the umbrella on demand.
