Every year, TIME editors take a look at the past year’s coolest inventions. Last year, they picked 25 favorites. These inventions are making the world better, smarter and a little more fun. Here are some exciting ones. A See-through Truck Too often people meet with car accidents because a large vehicle blocks their view. This is especially true in Argentina. The South American country is known for its winding and narrow roads. However, Samsung and ad agency Leo Burnett have come up with a creative solution: the Safety Truck. The system sends video footage (片段)in front of a truck to four screens on its back. It gives drivers a clear view of what’s ahead. A Virtual(虚拟的)Pencil and Paper In the 450 years or so since its invention, a pencil has become so common. It’s easy to forget how great technology is. It writes darker words when you press it harder. Its marks can be erased. It’s difficult to digitally copy the way it works. That’s what makes Apple’s latest effort so impressive. The Apple Pencil allows users to draw, paint, or write on a screen, just as they do on a piece of paper. The Apple Pencil goes for $99, and the iPad Pro is $799+. Easy-on Shoes In 2012, Matthew Walzer, a high school student with a disability, sent a note to Nike. “My dream is to go to college,’’ he wrote, “without having to worry about someone coming to tie my shoes every day.” Nike appointed a design team to the challenge. This year, they came up with their solution: the Flyease. The basketball shoes can be fastened with one hand. A pair of Nike Flyease shoes sells for $130. 1.How does a See-through Truck help avoid the accidents? A. By putting a big block in front of a car. B. By sending video footage in front of a truck to four screens on its back. C. By writing something on a screen, just as they do on a piece of paper. D. By having to worry about someone rushing out in front of the truck every time. 2.What makes Apple’s latest effort so impressive? A. The Apple Pencil allows users to draw, paint, or write on a screen. B. The Apple Watch gives users exact time when people need to know it. C. The Apple Pencil goes for $99, and the iPad Air is $799+. D. The Apple Pencil leaves darker marks on the screen and its marks can't be erased. 3.Which of the following would Tom, a disabled boy with one hand, like to own? A. A See-through Truck. B. A Virtual Pencil and Paper. C. A Flying Bicycle. D. Easy-on Shoes.

When Chinese women's volleyball team took on Serbia for the Olympic title, 70 percent of Chinese families watched live broadcast on TV, easily beating the audience rating for Lunar New Year Gala. Pushed to the fourth place in group, China met the powerful and two-time Olympic champions Brazil who had unlimited support from their home fans in the quarterfinals. When almost no one believed they could win, the Chinese team came restored from one set down to beat the hosts 3-2 before they avenged their group loss on the Netherlands in the semifinals. Among all the Chinese sports teams, the women's volleyball remain the most special one, whose victories had fueled Chinese confidence in the 1980s and still represent the best things that sports can offer to the Chinese: perseverance, courage and unity. They endured extremely hard training and displayed "never say die" spirit to becoming world champions, which made the Chinese believe the country could be as strong in the world one day as the volleyball players are in sports. After over 30 years of reform and opening up nowadays, China believes the "women's volleyball spirit" is never outdated. "My mom cried when I told her about Lang Ping's team's victory in Rio.

Chinese families love sports more than literary programs. B. Many people didn’t expect Chinese Women’s Volleyball team could win. C.

That the team want to become world champion very much. C. The team’s determined spirit. D. The team’s endurance and determination. 4.What does the writer want to show by quoting an Internet user’s words in the last paragraph? A. The father is a volleyball fan. B. The father is an emotional person. C. Chinese Women’s Volleyball team is the greatest in the world. D. The great spirit of Chinese Women’s Volleyball team inspires Chinese people.

“Old wives tales” are beliefs passed down from one generation to another. For example, most of us remember our parents’ telling us to eat more of certain foods or not to do certain things. Is there any truth in these teachings? Some of them agree with present medical thinking, but others have not passed the test of time. Did your mother ever tell you to eat your carrots because they are good for your eyes? Scientists now report that eating carrots can help prevent a serious eye disease called macular degeneration(黄斑变性). Eating just one carrot a day can reduce the possibility of getting this disease by 40%. Garlic is good for you, too. It can kill the type of virus that causes colds. Unfortunately, not all of Mom’s advice passed the test of medical studies. For example, generations of children have been told not to go swimming within an hour after eating. But research suggests that there is no danger in doing so. Do sweets cause tooth problems? Well, yes and no. Sticky sweets made with grains tend to cause more problems than sweets made with simple sugars. Even though science can tell us that some of our traditional beliefs don’t hold water, there is still a lot of truth in the old wives’ tales. After all, much of this knowledge has been accumulated from thousands of years of experience in family health care. We should respect this body of knowledge even as we search for clear scientific support to prove it true or false. 1.The author develops the third paragraph mainly ______. A. by cause and effect B. by order in space C. by examples D. by order in time 2.Which of the following is TRUE according to the text? A. Eating garlic is good for our eyes. B. Carrots prevent people from catching colds. C. Swimming after a meal is dangerous. D. Sticky sweets are damaging to our teeth. 3.What is the author’s attitude toward “old wives’ tales” in the text? A. Objective. B. Subjective. C. Dissatisfied. D. Curious. 4.The phrase “hold water” in the last paragraph most probably means “ ______.” A. to be valuable B. to be believable C. to be admirable D. to be suitable

When I was a boy there were no smart phones, and our television only got one channel clearly. Still, I never felt bored. The fields, hills and woodlands around my home were the perfect playground whose adventures were only limited by my imagination. I can remember once hiking to nearby lake and walking slowly around it. At the back of it I was amazed to find an old dirt road that I had never seen before. It was full of muddy tyre tracks and deep woods bordered it on both sides, but exploring it still seemed like a fine adventure. I walked on and on for what seemed like hours. I was sure my guardian angel was whispering in my ears "turn around and head back home", but I was stubborn and walked on. There was still neither a car nor a house in sight I noticed that the sun was starting to go down and I grew scared I didn't want to end up trapped on this road, and I was worried that it would be dark before I could make my way back to the lake again. I continued to walk on with something growing inside of me. My heart was pounding and my legs were aching. I was almost in tears when I saw something in the distance. It was a house that I recognized. I jumped up and down and laughed out loud. It was still over a mile away, but my legs felt like feathers and I hurried back to my house in no time. I walked in with a big smile on my face just in time for dinner. Then I ended my adventure with a good night's sleep. I often thought of that experience recently. Actually, in our life, all roads, no matter how they twist and turn, can lead us home again. They can lead us to our homes in our hearts. May you always walk your path with love! May you always help your fellow travelers along the way! And may your roads always lead you home again! 1.Why did the author hardly feel bored when he was young? A. He could watch TV all day B. He could have fun in nature. C. He had many friends to play with D. He used to explore the old dirt road 2.What does the underlined word "something" in Paragraph 3 probably refer to? A. Doubt B. Hope C. Fear. D. Courage 3.How did the author feel when he was exploring the dirt road? A. He was contradictory in mind. B. He was unconscious of danger ahead. C. He was worried to be trapped in the woods. D. He was afraid of being scolded by his parents. 4.What may be the best title for the passage? A. Every Effort Is Worthwhile. B. All Roads Lead Home. C. Be Determined in Your Life. D. Be Brave to Adventure.

What is your favorite color? Do you like yellow, orange, red?1.Do you prefer grays and blues? Then you are probably quiet, shy, and you would rather follow than lead. You tend to be pessimist. At least, this is what psychologists tell us, and they should know, because they have been seriously studying the meaning of color preference, as well as the effect that colors have on human beings.2. If you happen to love brown, you did so, as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly. 3. A yellow room makes most people feel more cheerful and more relaxed than a dark green one; and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day. 4.A black bridge over the Thames River, near London, used to be the scene of more suicides(自杀) than any other bridge in the area ----until it was repainted green . The number of suicide attempts immediately fell sharply. Perhaps it would have fallen even more if the bridge had been done in pink or baby blue. 5. It is an established fact that factory workers work better, harder, and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black or gray. A. On the other hand, black is depressing. B. The rooms are painted in different colors as you like. C. Life is like a picture or a poem, full of different colors. D. Colors do influence our moods 一 there is no doubt about it. E. Light and bright colors make people happier, more active and more productive. F. If you do, you must be an optimist, a leader, or an active person who enjoys life and excitement. G. They tell us that we don’t choose our favorite color as we grow up — we are born with our preference.
