【文章大意】本文叙述了设计师是为了人们不被雨淋而设计的这种路灯。

他的灵感来自于一次经历。

机器的运作，先由传感器（sensor）接收外界信号，再转换为控制信号控制电机（motor），电机最终使得伞蓬打开（canopy）。

A.TopredictaheavyrainB.Tochecktheweatherforecast

C.ToprotectpeoplefromtherainD.Toremindpeopletotakeanumbrella

第二段话的主题句为首句“ThedesignersayshecomeupwiththeideaafterwatchingpeoplegetwetonstreetsinRussia”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。

故选B。

34.WhatdoesParagraph5mainlytellusaboutthelampbrella?

A.ItsmovingspeedB.ItsappearanceC.ItsinstallationD.Itssafety

【答案】D

【解析】段落大意题。

根据本段“…soasnottocauseharmtothepedestrians”“…toprotectfrompossiblelightingstrike”“Beinginstalledat2metersofftheground,itwouldonlybeadangerforthetallestofpedestrians”可以得知，这是lampbrella的人性化设计，为避雨的行人在安全方面的作了充分考虑。
