But designer Mikhail Belyaev doesn’t think that forgetting to check the weather forecast before heading out should result in you getting wet. To protect people from rain, 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 the streets. “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 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 fibreglass street lamp which detects whether anyone’s 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 pedestrians. Besides, it would be grounded to protect from possible lightning strikes. Each lampbrella would offer enough shelter for several people. Being installed at two 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, Belyaev says he recently introduced his creation to 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. 41．Will the lampbrella be put into immediate production? 42．Why did Belyaev create the lampbrella? 43．From Belyaev’s words in Paragraph 2, we know that his creation was inspired by on the street. (No more than 3 words.) 44．Besides sensors, what are the other two things that help a lampbrella work? 45．How long will the canopy hold if it is not used? 46．What do you think of Belyaev’s creation? Why do you think so? 七、书面表达(共24分) 47．Write a passage of at least 60 words. (请写一篇不少于60个词的短文，标点符号不占格) 好奇心驱使人们提出问题，寻求答案，并发现新的世界。作为一名八年级的学生，你正是对世界充满好奇的时候。请写一篇不少于60词的文章，结合一次自身经历，谈谈好奇心是什么、它是如何帮助你解决问题或学习新事物的。Use the following points as reference.

Take Galileo, for example. As a young man, he was curious about the stars and planets. While others believed the Earth was the center of the universe, Galileo 36 if that was true. He built a telescope to observe the sky and found that the Earth orbits the sun—a discovery that revolutionized science. Another example is Marie Curie, who was curious about unknown elements. She spent years studying radioactive materials, even when many people thought it was a waste of time. Her curiosity 37 the discovery of radium, which has helped save millions of lives through cancer treatment. Curiosity isn’t just for famous scientists. It’s part of everyday life. A teacher in a small village noticed her students were curious about plants. Instead of just telling them facts, she encouraged them to grow their own. The students began asking questions: Why do some plants need more water? How do they make food? Through 38 , they learned more than any textbook could teach. 39 , research shows that curious people are more successful in life. They’re better at solving problems and adapting to new situations. This is because curiosity makes the brain more 40 and ready to learn. When we’re curious, we pay more attention and remember information better. So, the next time you wonder “why” or “how,” don’t ignore it. Follow your curiosity—it might just lead you to something amazing. 35．A．discoveries B．invitations C．advantages D．journeys 36．A．agreed B．wondered C．complained D．warned 37．A．led to B．connected to C．belonged to D．sent to 38．A．rating B．treating C．exploring D．recording 39．A．In conclusion B．However C．Therefore D．In fact 40．A．vivid B．precious C．active D．aware 【答案】35．A 36．B 37．A 38．C 39．D 40．C 【导语】本文通过伽利略、居里夫人以及乡村教师的例子，阐述了好奇心在人类重大成就、科学发现和日常学习中的推动作用。 【详解】35．句意：纵观历史，好奇心一直是一些最重要发现背后的驱动力。 discoveries发现；invitations邀请；advantages优势；journeys旅程。后文举例“Take Galileo, for example…a discovery that revolutionized science”和“Marie Curie…the discovery of radium”，这些都是人类历史上的重要发现。故选A。 36．句意：当其他人都认为地球是宇宙的中心时，伽利略想知道这是否是真的。 agreed同意；wondered想知道；complained抱怨；warned警告。根据前文“he was curious about the stars and planets”以及后文他“built a telescope to observe the sky”的行动，可知他并不认同他人的观点，而是想知道真相。故选B。 37．句意：她的好奇心促成了镭的发现，这种元素通过癌症治疗帮助拯救了数百万人的生命。 led to促成，导致；connected to连接到；belonged to属于；sent to发送到。前文提到“she was curious about unknown elements. She spent years studying radioactive materials”，正是这种好奇心驱使她坚持研究，最终促成了镭的发现。故选A。 38．句意：通过探索，他们学到了比任何教科书都多的知识。 rating评级；treating对待；exploring探索；recording记录。前文描述学生“grew their own”植物，并提出“Why do some plants need more water?

But designer Mikhail Belyaev doesn’t think that forgetting to check the weather forecast before heading out should result in you getting wet. To protect people from rain, 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 the streets. “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 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 fibreglass street lamp which detects whether anyone’s 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 pedestrians. Besides, it would be grounded to protect from possible lightning strikes. Each lampbrella would offer enough shelter for several people. Being installed at two 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, Belyaev says he recently introduced his creation to 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. 41．Will the lampbrella be put into immediate production? 42．Why did Belyaev create the lampbrella? 43．From Belyaev’s words in Paragraph 2, we know that his creation was inspired by on the street. (No more than 3 words.) 44．Besides sensors, what are the other two things that help a lampbrella work? 45．How long will the canopy hold if it is not used? 46．What do you think of Belyaev’s creation? Why do you think so? 【答案】41．No, it won’t. 42．Because he wanted to protect people from rain. 43．his own experience/what he saw 44．A built-in electric motor and a canopy. 45．For three minutes. 46．I think it is both creative and practical. Because it can help those who forget to take the umbrellas to hide from rain and it won’t take up extra space when it’s sunny. 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了设计师Mikhail Belyaev发明了一种名为lampbrella的装置，它是一种带有雨感应伞的路灯，旨在保护人们免受雨淋。 41．根据文章最后一段“While there are no plans to take lampbrella into production”可知，目前没有计划将lampbrella立即投入生产。故填No, it won’t. 42．根据文章第一段“To protect people from rain, he created lampbrella”可知，Belyaev创造lampbrella的目的是为了保护人们免受雨淋。故填Because he wanted to protect people from rain. 43．根据文章第二段“The designer says he came up with the idea after watching people get wet on the streets.”以及Belyaev的话“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 built into a street lamp.”可知，他的创作灵感来自于他在街上看到的人们被雨淋湿的情景，即他自己的经历或所见所闻。故填his own experience/what he saw. 44．根据文章第三段“It has a built-in electric motor which can open or close the umbrella on demand.”以及全文内容可知，除了传感器外，lampbrella还依靠内置电动机和伞篷来工作。内置电动机可以根据需要打开或关闭伞篷，而伞篷则提供实际的遮雨功能。故填A built-in electric motor and a canopy. 45．根据文章第四段“After three minutes of not being used the canopy is closed.”可知，如果伞篷不被使用，它将保持打开状态三分钟，然后自动关闭。但题目问的是“hold”（保持打开）的时间，所以答案是三分钟。故填For three minutes. 46．开放性问题，要求评价Belyaev的创作并给出原因。可以从创意性、实用性、安全性等方面进行评价。例如，可以认为这个创作既具有创意又实用，因为它能帮助那些忘记带伞的人避雨，而且在晴天时不会占用额外的空间。故填I think it is both creative and practical. Because it can help those who forget to take the umbrellas to hide from rain and it won’t take up extra space when it’s sunny. 七、书面表达(共24分) 47．Write a passage of at least 60 words.

He built a telescope to observe the sky and found that the Earth orbits the sun—a discovery that revolutionized science. Another example is Marie Curie, who was curious about unknown elements. She spent years studying radioactive materials, even when many people thought it was a waste of time. Her curiosity 37 the discovery of radium, which has helped save millions of lives through cancer treatment. Curiosity isn’t just for famous scientists. It’s part of everyday life. A teacher in a small village noticed her students were curious about plants. Instead of just telling them facts, she encouraged them to grow their own. The students began asking questions: Why do some plants need more water? How do they make food? Through 38 , they learned more than any textbook could teach. 39 , research shows that curious people are more successful in life. They’re better at solving problems and adapting to new situations.

But designer Mikhail Belyaev doesn’t think that forgetting to check the weather forecast before heading out should result in you getting wet. To protect people from rain, 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 the streets. “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 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 fibreglass street lamp which detects whether anyone’s 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 pedestrians. Besides, it would be grounded to protect from possible lightning strikes. Each lampbrella would offer enough shelter for several people. Being installed at two 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, Belyaev says he recently introduced his creation to 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. 41．Will the lampbrella be put into immediate production? 42．Why did Belyaev create the lampbrella? 43．From Belyaev’s words in Paragraph 2, we know that his creation was inspired by on the street. (No more than 3 words.) 44．Besides sensors, what are the other two things that help a lampbrella work? 45．How long will the canopy hold if it is not used? 46．What do you think of Belyaev’s creation? Why do you think so? 七、书面表达(共24分) 47．Write a passage of at least 60 words.
