8．Every year，TIME selects the best inventions that are making the world better，smarter and-in some cases-a little more fun．Here's which ones made this year's unranked list．
●Morpher
People refuse to wear a helmet because they're thick and bulky．Morpher，a bike helmet made from interweaved plastics that is just as strong as its traditional helmets，but flexible enough to fold almost totally flat，making it easier to transport．Morpher has raised almost $300，000 on Indiegogo and may be available for sale in stores in future．
●Hyper Adapt
Almost everyone who sees the movie Back to the Future wants a pair of self-lacing shoes．Now，thanks to Nike，the shoe dream is a reality．When wearers press a button near the tongue，the Hyper Adapt 1.0s automatically tighten and loosen around their foot．Simplified shoe fastening could give users an edge during sports competition，and it's especially useful for people with impaired（受損的） motor function．
●Hello Sense
It's hard to believe that an alarm clock could not only be beautiful but also improve your sleep．That it could monitor the temperature，humidity（濕度），light and even air quality in your bedroom to help you engineer a perfect sleep environment．That it could monitor your sleep cycles and wake you when you're least likely to feel groggy-all thanks to simple voice commands．
●Eatwell Assistive Tableware
It is hard for Alzheimer's patients to use silverware without spilling．Eatwell Assistive Tableware is a dining set designed to make mealtime easier for people with Alzheimer's and other diseases that affect brain and body function．The tableware uses bright colors to help people distinguish their plates from their food and putting wide rubber bases on the cups to prevent spills．

21．What is the advantage of Morpher over traditional helmets？D
A．It is portable．
B．It is safer．
C．It is stronger．
D．It is folding and light．
22．Who may like Hyper Adapt most？A
A．Athletes．
B．Officer workers．
C．Taxi drivers．
D．Regular travelers，
23．What does the underlined word"groggy"in Paragraph 3 mean？C
A．Energetic．

C．Tiring．
D．Uncomfortable．
24．What invention is unavailable on the market at present？B
A．Hyper Adapt．
B．Morpher．
C．Hello Sense．
D．Eatwell Assistive Tableware．

分析 本文是一篇廣告布告類閱讀，屬于廣告．主要介紹了每年，TIME選擇最好的發(fā)明，使世界變得更好，更智能，在某些情況下，更有趣．這是今年的未排名榜．本文以此展開，主要介紹了幾項發(fā)明．

解答 21．D．細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)Morpher，a bike helmet made from interweaved plastics that is just as strong as its traditional helmets，but flexible enough to fold almost totally flat，making it easier to transport．可知，莫爾德是一種由交織的塑料制成的自行車頭盔，與傳統(tǒng)的頭盔一樣堅固，但彈性足以折疊幾乎完全平坦，使其更容易運(yùn)輸．故選D．
22．A．推理判斷題．根據(jù)Simplified shoe fastening could give users an edge during sports competition，and it's especially useful for people with impaired（受損的） motor function．可知，簡單的鞋扣可以在運(yùn)動競賽中給予用戶一個優(yōu)勢，對于受損的運(yùn)動功能的人尤其有用．故對運(yùn)動員最有用．故選A．
23．C．詞義猜測題．根據(jù)上下文內(nèi)容可知，That it could monitor your sleep cycles and wake you when you're least likely to feel groggy-all thanks to simple voice commands．句意為它可以監(jiān)控你的睡眠周期，并喚醒你，當(dāng)你最不可能感到疲憊-所有這一切都是由于簡單的語音命令．故groggy意為疲憊的．故選C．
24．B．細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)Morpher has raised almost $300，000 on Indiegogo and may be available for sale in stores in future．可知，在Indiegogo籌集近30萬美元，并可能在將來可以在商店銷售．故選B．

點(diǎn)評 本文是一篇廣告布告類閱讀，題目涉及多道主旨大意題，細(xì)節(jié)理解題，推理判斷題．做題時學(xué)生應(yīng)仔細(xì)閱讀原文，把握文章主要內(nèi)容，聯(lián)系文章上下文內(nèi)容并結(jié)合所給選項含義，從中選出正確答案，一定要做到有理有據(jù)，切忌胡亂猜測．

It proposes（建議）the government consider air pollution at every stage of the planning process．This could extend to where new housing is sited and recommending that developers build new houses with the living room situated furthest away from roads．
"Schools and nurseries should be sited away from main roads，"says NICE．But it also ants to see drivers educated on how to reduce pollution．This could include switching the ngine off when they are dropping people off，or making deliveries，and avoiding rapid ccelerations（加速）and decelerations．
According to the guidelines，action is needed both to insure vehicles on the road are clean nd that there are fewer of them．

2．）How to Fall in Love with Yourself？Here are a few ideas you can try to build yourself up and fall in love with yourself all over again．
Focus on your strengths．We all have strengths and luckily they are not all the same．Do things you are naturally good at and enjoy and you will build self-confidence，efficiency（效率）and pride．
Be proud of your accomplishments．No matter how big or seemingly small your accomplishments are，you should be very proud of each of them．Whether it's completing high school or university，starting your own company，having kids or raising a family，be proud．Celebrate the small and large accomplishments and everything in between．
Share your talent．If you've got a talent，share it with the world．If you can write-write，if you can dance-dance，if you can organize…well，you get the picture．Believe it or not，there are people out there who could benefit greatly from you sharing your talents．Ever notice how giving to others makes you feel so incredible （難以置信的） about yourself？
Forgive yourself．Guilt is a strange thing．All that guilt does is to keep us in the past reliving something we wish that we could change．But not going to happen，Pm afraid．Forgiveness is a choice．Forgive yourself，let bygones be bygones．Forgive yourself，apologize and move on．
Do something just for you．Take time for yourself and just relax．Rest both your mind and your body．Refresh by sitting quietly，listening to soft gentle music or watching the wonders of nature from your own backyard or window．Whatever it is that could make you feel special and relaxed，just do it．
Love yourself．Take pride in all your unique glory．
56．If you pay enough attention to your strengths，you will be．A
A．increasingly confident about yourself
B．naturally fond of doing the same thing
C．successful in your family and career
