Tell Me More
This app is widely used in U.S. schools, and it is believed to be the best foreign language learning app around the world. It offers instructions for learning Arabic, Chinese, Dutch, English, French, German, Italian, Japanese and Spanish. However, the app docs not come cheap as it costs around $250.
Talk Now!
If you are looking for a cheaper language learning app, then this is just the suitable choice for you. This app will cost you around $40, and even though it is not as useful as Tell Me More, it is still a very good app for the purpose. The disadvantages are that there is very little focus on grammar and there is a clear lack of interactive activities(缺乏互动性活动) for users so it does not result in fluency(流利).
Instant Immersion
This app provides learning material for up to 33 different languages, and it is widely considered as the best app for learning Spanish as well. It will cost you around $30, and this is a very reasonable price for such a highly recommended(推荐) and loved language learning app. The learning courses are highly interactive, and the ever present speech recognition feature ensures(保证) that you are getting the pronunciation right when you speak.
KidSpeak
This is a foreign language translation app that you can make use of, and it will cost you around $30. So, it is safe to say that the level of performance will be similar to that of Talk Now! This app is designed more for the use of children for its interesting videos.
21、What is the disadvantage of Tell Me More
A. It lacks language learning methods.
B. It offers no interactive activities.
C. It provides no interesting videos for children.
D. It costs much more than the others.
22、Which of the apps best suits users with poor pronunciation

What a day! I started at my new school this morning and had the best time. I made lots of new friends and really liked my teachers. I was nervous (紧张的) the night before, but I had no reason to be. Everyone was so friendly and polite. They made me feel at ease. It was like I’d been at the school for a hundred years!
The day started very early at 7:00 a.m. I had my breakfast downstairs with my mom. She could tell that I was very nervous. Mom kept asking me what was wrong. She told me I had nothing to worry about and that everyone was going to love me. If they didn’t love me, mom said to send them her way for a good talking to. I couldn’t stop laughing.
My mom dropped me off at the school gate about five minutes before the bell. A little blonde (金黄色的) girl got dropped off at the same time and started waving (招手) at me. She ran over and told me her name was Abigail. She was very nice and we became close straight away. We spent all morning together and began to talk to another girl called Stacey. The three of us sat together in class all day and we even made our way home together! It went so quickly. Our teacher told us that tomorrow we would really start learning and developing new skills.
I cannot wait until tomorrow and feel as though I am really going to enjoy my time at my new school. I only hope that my mew friends feel the same way too.

Puzzled face asks for help
Think about the last time you did something that you found difficult. Was it working out a puzzle or working hard on your math homework
Can you remember the expression you had on your face Most people will press their lips together and frown when they are doing something they find difficult. This is normally seen as a sign of effort. Now we’ve found that it can also say more than that.
A recent study at the University of Portsmouth in England suggests that the human expression of effort and frustration(挫折) is our way of asking others for help.
Scientists at the university gave children and chimpanzees(黑猩猩) an impossible puzzle to work out. When the children couldn’t work out the puzzle, their faces expressed determination and effort. The chimpanzees’ did not.
Humans and chimpanzees have many facial expressions that share the same meaning. A human smile is the same as a chimpanzee showing its teeth in happiness.
Scientists believe that over time, humans have evolved(进化) to use this facial expression to ask for help. We have also learned to respond to it by offering help.
According to Dr Albert Mehrabian, a well-known professor of psychology at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), only 7% of human communication happens through words and 55% is through body language. Therefore, understanding expressions is second nature to human beings.
With this in mind, next time you see a person with a frustrated expression, listen to your heart and stop to lend them a hand.
28、What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to
A. Frowning. B. The expression.
C. Something difficult. D. A sign of effort.
29、According to the recent study, people’s expression of effort or frustration tells others that ____.
A. they need help B. they can do things themselves
C. they will give up D. they want to be alone.
30、Which of the following about the study is TRUE
A. Scientists gave the chimpanzees an easy puzzle.
B. The chimpanzees smiled as they worked out the puzzle.
C. The chimpanzees’ face didn’t show determination or effort.
D. The chimpanzees used other expressions to ask for help.
31、According to Dr Albert Mehrabian, we learn that ____________.
A. body language is very important in human communication
B. people don’t like to use words to communicate
C. human expressions are not a kind of body language
D. words can’t help much in communication
（ D ）
As is known to us all, reading books is good for children. Now, a new study suggests that just being around books has its benefits(益处). A team of researchers in Australia finds that growing up with a large library at home improves literacy(读写能力), number-sense, and even technological skills in later life. It appeared in Social Science Research.
The researchers were exploring the advantages of scholarly culture. They were interested in an extra finding that some call the “radiation effect”. “The radiation effect is a situation where children grow up around books, but they don’t read books. But somehow books benefit them, even though they don’t read them as much as their parents wish them to,” said Joanna Sikora, a scientist in Australia. Joanna and her workmates studied information collected between 2015 and 2019 by the Organization for Economic Development. The survey tested the literacy, numeracy(计算能力) and technological abilities of more than 160,000 adults from 31 countries. And it included a question about how many books participants(参加者) had in their homes during adolescence(青春期). “What we were able to make clear was that people growing up around books had better literacy, numeracy and technological problem-solving skills than people who had fewer books growing up but had similar education levels, similar jobs, and even similar adult habits in connection with reading or working at numeracy-improving activities,” she said.
In fact, teens who only made it through high school but were raised in a bookish environment did as well in adulthood as college graduates who grew up in a house without books. Now, how might a simple display lead to intellectual(智力的)improvement “If we grow up in a house, in a home where parents enjoy books, where books are given as birthday presents and valued, this is something that becomes a wealth of knowledge and gives us this lifelong driving force(驱动力)to always come close to books and read more than we would.”
So keep shelves filled with books. Your kids will not only be thankful, they’ll be more likely to be able to spell “thankful” correctly as well.
32、What’s “the radiation effect” according to the text
A. The terrible influence of radiation on men and things.
B. The negative influence of giving teens birthday presents which are not valued.
C. The beneficial influence of reading books on adolescents.
D. The good influence of the bookish environment on adolescents.
33、What can we learn about the participants from Paragraph 2
A. They all graduated from college.
B. They had only one answer to the survey.
C. They had all been to a sizable library at least once.
D. They were brought up in different growth environments.
34、How does the display of books improve intellect
A. Books help to provide a chance to come close to society.
B. Books are always given to adolescents as valuable presents.
C. Books will offer teens a drive to make great achievements.
D. Books bring a sense of being rich in knowledge and longing to read more.
35、What’s the best title for the text
A. Reading More Helps Improve Children’s Abilities
B. Reading at Home Brings Children Many Advantages
C. Growing Up Around Books Benefits Children a Lot
D. Creating a Bookish Environment for Children Ts of Much Importance
