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 Lampbrellaa lamp post with its own rain­sensing umbrella.

The designer says he came up with the idea after watching people get wet on streets in Russia.“OnceI 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 sensorthere'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 designerthe Lampbrella would move at a relatively low speedso as not to cause harm to the pedestrians.Besidesit would be grounded to protect from possible lightning strike.Each Lampbrella would offer enough shelter for several people.Being installed (安装) at 2 metres off the groundit would only be a danger for the tallest of pedestrians.

While there are no plans to take the Lampbrella into productionBelyaev says he recently introduced his creation to one Moscow Departmentand insists his creation could be installed on any street where a lot of people walk but there are no canopies to provide shelter.

48For what purpose did Belyaev create the Lampbrella?

ATo predict a heavy rain.

BTo check the weather forecast.

CTo protect people from the rain.

DTo remind people to take an umbrella.

49Which of the following shows how the Lampbrella works?

Amotor→canopy→sensors

Bsensors→motor→canopy

Cmotor→sensors→canopy

Dcanopy→motor→sensors

50What does Paragraph 5 mainly tell us about the Lampbrella?

AIts moving speed.               BIts appearance.

CIts installation.               DIts safety.

51What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

AThe designer will open a company to promote his product.

BThe Lampbrella could be put into immediate production.

CThe designer is confident that his creation is practical.

DThe Lampbrella would be put on show in Moscow.
