2020 届二轮复习 阅读理解专题话题训练学案十四：　天气 Part A　Reading　 Passage 1 题材:科普知识与现代技术　词数:292　建议时间:7 分钟 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 rain-sensing umbrella. The designer says he came 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 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,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 metres 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. 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. 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. 3.Which of the following shows how the Lampbrella works? A.motor→canopy→sensors B.sensors→motor→canopy C.motor→sensors→canopy D.canopy→motor→sensors 4.What does Paragraph 5 mainly tell us about the Lampbrella? A.Its moving speed. B.Its appearance. C.Its installation. D.Its safety. 5.What can be inferred from the last paragraph? 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. Passage 2 题材:人与自然　词数:268　建议时间:7 分钟 　　In Singapore, most of us love window-shopping while some others enjoy having a picnic at East Coast Park or Changi Beach on sunny days.Singaporeans are never bothered by the occasional thunderstorm.However,we know that if it rains for long continuous periods,there will be more serious effects.Just recently the main shopping street of Orchard Road was flooded and some part of Bukit Timah was impassable( 不 能 通 行 的 )to traffic.People reacted by writing in to the newspaper to complain about this! We forget that other countries suffer much worse effects. Elsewhere,heavy tropical(热带的)storms often result in floods that ruin crops especially in Thailand and Malaysia.This in turn usually means that the price of rice and vegetables here in Singapore will rise because we import these products from them.If there is a typhoon or tsunami, thousands of lives are lost too.This happened in Indonesia and Phuket in Thailand in 2004 and it serves to remind us of how Mother Nature can cause great damage. Weather patterns in general have changed dramatically in recent years.Scientists believe that global warming and the resulting melting of the polar ice-cap has caused the level of the ocean to rise.This in turn causes flooding of low-lying areas in countries where the land is rather flat and some parts of which is below water level.It is believed that human activities have caused Mother Nature to show her extreme anger,so now it is important that we really work together to cut down on harmful activities,for example,illegal logging( 伐 木 )or irresponsible forest-burning to clear land for farming. 1.From Paragraph 1,we can see that most Singaporeans love 　　　. A.making complaints B.going out for picnics C.doing window-shopping D.traveling along the coast 2.What will happen in Singapore if there are floods in its neighboring countries? A.Heavy tropical storms will follow shortly. B.The price of rice and vegetables will go up. C.Many people will write in to the newspaper. D.More rice and vegetables will be imported. 3.The underlined word“it”in Paragraph 2 refers to 　　　. A.the arrival of heavy tropical storms B.the import of rice and vegetables C.the rising price of rice and vegetables D.the loss of lives in natural disasters 4.What’s the right order of the following events? a.global warming b.the rise in ocean level c.harmful human activities d.the flooding of low-lying areas e.the melting of the polar ice-cap A.c→a→e→b→d B.a→c→e→b→d C.c→a→b→e→d D.d→a→c→b→e 5.What should we do in order not to make Mother Nature angry? A.Clear more land for farming. B.Reduce harmful human activities. C.Bring down the price of food. D.Improve the quality of weather.
