Question

B

     The following is about two new inventions in 2010. Do you know about them?

     On a rainy day,it is easy for us to get wet when we use a common umbrella.

     Simon Warne,27. a student of Brunei University solved this problem. He invented an unbreakable umbrella. He said the umbrella could be upright in bad weather. Even on a windy day,the umbrella will not be out of shape.

     Simon Warne said he came up with the idea when he saw people trying their best to open their umbrellas on a rainy day. He thought there must be a better solution.

     Another invention comes from a 22-year-old girl,Natalie King. She invented a special flowerpot. It can tell people if there is something wrong with the plant.

There is a light under the flowerpot. The light of the pot will be green if all is well. And if the plant is too dry,hot or cold,the light will be red.

     Natalie said she invented this kind of flowerpot because of her old grandfather. His eyes were not very well. “This kind of flowerpot is very useful to people like him ,” she said. “When the light turns red,one will know the plant is too dry or too cold,so he has to do something until the light turns green.

Answer 1

B 閱讀提示:一位來自布魯內(nèi)爾大學(xué)的富有創(chuàng)造精神的學(xué)生發(fā)明 了一種“堅(jiān)不可摧”的雨傘。據(jù)他介紹，這種傘能經(jīng)得住任何風(fēng)雨天 氣的考驗(yàn)。另一個(gè)創(chuàng)意設(shè)計(jì)來自娜塔麗•金，她發(fā)明了一種能讓主 人知道盆栽植物生活環(huán)境是否正常的花盆。

1. B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。文章開頭第一句就點(diǎn)明了。故正確答案選   B.
