Interested in learning a new language but don't know where to start Here are the best online language learning courses we've put together for your reference.
Rosetta Stone
Price: $7.99 per month-$199 one-time payment
Number of languages: 28
Rosetta Stone has long been known as the go-to service for new language learners. It offers lessons that are short enough to complete each day, but long enough to actually get something out of. Rosetta Stone's interface is generally easy to use, and its lessons include reading, writing, speaking and listening, all in one lesson. You can also choose to subscribe to a monthly payment or purchase a lifetime license.
Duolingo
Price: Free-$6.99 per month
Number of languages: 36
Duolingo has risen as a serious competitor to Rosetta Stone over the past few years. The service is perhaps best known for its Android and iOS apps, and those apps are available for free — which makes it easy to practice your chosen language without having to make a serious commitment. Alternatively, you can sign up for Duolingo Plus, which removes ads, offers offline courses, and more. Many consider Duolingo to be better for those who want to practice a language rather than learn from the very beginning.
Babbel
Price: $6.95 per month-$12.95 per month
Number of languages: 14
Looking for a service to challenge your language-learning skills Babbel may be the way to go. Babbel is excellent at teaching phrases and words that you'll actually use on a day-to-day basis. The service is also relatively cheap, so if you're unsure if you want to commit to learning a new language yet, the low subscription prices ensure you don't have to make a huge commitment.
Memrise
Price: $6.67 per month-$119.99 one-time payment （extra 10% off before July）
Number of languages: 16
If you learn best through repetition and flashcards, then Memrise may be the service for you. It's relatively inexpensive, making it easier to sign up. Memrise isn't necessarily the service for those who want to learn a language from scratch, but it's a great learning aid, and good for those who already have a foundation in language-learning.

Laurie Horam never thought of himself as a musician. At home, his dad never listened to music, and one of his boarding school teachers labelled him tone-deaf. But last month he started to play the harmonica （口琴） on the streets of Bradford. People clapped, danced and threw coins into his case for the local food bank. Horam caught himself thinking, "How, at the age of 79, do I come to be playing music to people on the streets "
The question preoccupied him, because, some years ago at a family gathering, Gavin, his eldest son, said, "You know what, Dad It can't be coincidental. We must have got our musical abilities from you." Horam has three sons and they cover a range of instruments. He was surprised. "There can't be music in me, because I can't play!"he said.
Eight years ago, Horam, a retired civil servant, was on his way back from a trip with his family. Gavin stopped at a music shop. He walked out and said, "Here you are. I bought this for you, Dad. It's a harmonica. I'll try to show you how to play a bit."
They went to a session at their local pub. Gavin played the guitar and Horam sat in the corner with his harmonica, trying to make a sound that no one would hear. After six months, he was invited into the group. He discovered a talent for improvisation （即兴表演）， responding to a note within a millisecond without batting an eyelid. "I don't play by ear. I play by heart. "Actually", Horam says, "My harmonica plays me-how I feel, what I am, and what I've been."
Music has enriched Horam's life with friendship and made Horam feel "part of something much bigger"than himself. "At a time when the circle of life might be shrinking, mine is expanding,"he says. "Maybe we never know completely who we are or what we can do."

Microsoft has announced the general availability of its Azure AI Content Safety, a new service that helps users detect and filter harmful AI-generated and user-generated content across applications and services.
The service, designed to reduce negative information in community environments, includes text and image detection and identifies content that Microsoft terms "offensive, risky, or undesirable," including hate, bias, adult content, violence and self-harm.
"By focusing on content safety, we can create a safer digital environment that promotes responsible use of AI and safeguards the well-being of individuals and society as a whole."wrote Louise Han, product manager for Azure Anomaly Detector, in a blog post announcing the launch.

It also offers image features that use AI algorithms to scan, analyze, and moderate visual content, ensuring what Microsoft terms 360- degree comprehensive safety measures. The service is also equipped to moderate content across multiple languages and it can rate the severity of specific content on a scale ranging from 0 to 7. Then it instructs human detectors to take action.
"When it comes to online safety, it is crucial to consider more than just human-generated content, especially as AI-generated content becomes prevalent," Han wrote. "To make sure that AI-generated outputs are accurate, reliable, or appropriate materials is essential. Content safety not only protects users from misinformation and potential harm but also upholds（支持） moral standards and builds trust in AI technologies."
Azure AI Content Safety has a better understanding of textual content and cultural context and are more precise in processing data and content than other products in their category.

Psychological science is full of interesting topics, many of which tell a coherent picture of human nature, but some of which create seemingly contradictory stories. A case in point is the misunderstood overlap （交叠） between strength-based science and the research on narcissism （自恋）
There is now convincing evidence to show that narcissism is on the rise, especially in our youth. Some researchers say that about 25% of young people showing symptoms of narcissism. The inflated ego of Generation Me is reflected in reality TV, celebrity worship, and out-of- control consumerism.
We are correct to be concerned about this phenomenon, but our fear that all kids are potential narcissists has caused an unhelpful reaction against approaches that seek to make our children and teens feel good about themselves.
In my own research on strength-based parenting, it is common for people to wrongly think this approach to be the cause of narcissism. Their argument seems to be that a child who knows their strengths will automatically view themselves as better than everyone else. It is argued that the self-assurance that comes with identifying and using their positive qualities will make a child selfish and uncaring. Therefore, genuine confidence about one's strengths is categorized as over- confidence; desirable self-knowledge is branded as excessive self-admiration.
Why does this occur It's partly because more is known about narcissism than strengths. While strengths psychology has largely stayed within the limit of academic journals, research on narcissism has made its way into the mass media and our daily life. The New York Times noted that narcissism is a favored topic and that people everywhere are diagnosing others with it.
The fear that a strength-based approach will cause narcissism also occurs because of our binary （非此即彼） thinking. We mistakenly believe that one cannot be both confident and humble. We focus on Donald Trump and Kim Kardashian rather than Mahatma Gandhi and Mother Teresa. Without confidence in their strengths, Gandhi and Mother Teresa couldn't have achieved so much, and yet modesty and selflessness are their qualities.
When we assume that strength-focus is the same as a self-focus, we fail to make the idea clear that people who know their strengths are, actually, more likely to be pro-social and ready to help others.
It's easy to conclude that every young person is at risk of becoming a narcissist but I'd like to stand up for the thousands of young kids I have worked with who are caring, thoughtful and humble-even when they use their strengths.
32. Which of the following opinions may the writer agree with
A. To say all kids are potential narcissists is overstating the case.
B. It's unhelpful for us to make our children feel good about themselves.
C. Strength-based parenting leads to narcissism.
D. Children who know their strengths tend to be more selfish and uncaring.
33. Why are teenagers’ strengths often thought of as narcissism
A. There is a lack of narcissism in our common sense.
B. The general public has less access to strengths psychology.
C. Many people are diagnosed with narcissism by doctors.
D. Academic journals report more on narcissism.
34. What's the author's attitude towards young kids’ strength-based approaches
A. Favorable.
B. Disapproving.
C. Neutral.
D. Doubtful.
35. Which is a suitable title for the text
A. Teens'Psychology Research
B. Teens'Narcissism Diagnosis
C. Teens'Strength-based Approach
D. Teens'Misunderstood Confidence

Watching a movie can be a magical experience, but do you know that the music in the films we watch has always been an important part of creating that magical experience 36
The first commercial film with sound came out in 1927. 37 Even back in the early days of silent films, most movie theatres hired a musician or a group of musicians to provide music, mostly to drown out the sound of the film projectors （放映机） and people talking.
As sound-on-film technology developed, composers were hired to create original music for films. Like music written for an opera, film music serves to advance the story and the action. 38 In the same way, a film composer needs to support the screenplay's storyline.The music also needs to reflect the screenplay's mood, which includes everything from the action on the screen to sound effects to dialogue.
Music has a language of its own. The right piece of music can improve and sometimes even change a viewer's ideas of what is taking place onscreen. Most of the time, music is used to stress the action onscreen, improve the mood of a scene, foreshadow action that is about to take place or even show the emotion of a character. 39 But in many instances the emotional power of the visuals would not be as great were it not for the music.
40 Ask yourself, "How would this scene feel if the music were different Is the composer trying to tell me how I should feel Or are they merely pushing me in an emotional direction "
A. So, how is the film music created
B. Without it, it would be hard to imagine the scene.
C. An opera composer must follow the text of the opera.
D. Usually, composers and filmmakers don't want to overshadow a film.
E. So the next time you watch a movie, pay close attention to the music.
F. The music in a film makes you cheer for the hero and cry at the drama.
G. Since then, music has been powerfully linked to the movie-watching experience.

Years ago, I lived in the English midlands and would walk the same route along the local canal each evening. On winter mornings, I would see the 41 sight of bird flocks dancing across the landscape, a distant cacophony （刺耳的嘈杂声） 42 above the fields. They were jackdaws （寒鸦）， the smallest member of the crow family.
Research led by Masters student Alex Dibnah asked: Why are jackdaws so loud when they 43 Then he began to work with a team. The team's 44 was that the morning calls might be a jackdaw version of" 45 ". Each individual's call might 46 as an "I'm in!" helping them coordinate（协调） their 47 .
To test this, the researchers artificially 48 call levels during the jackdaws' morning cacophony using speakers at their sleeping sites. When extra calls were played, the jackdaws 49 earlier, showing they use calls as a check-in system.
Individual jackdaws 50 from leaving with the flock because they get more social information like where to find food, they can maximize their time spent finding food, and they're less 51 being attacked. This sort of decision-making isn't 52 to jackdaws — it's been reported in other species as well.
So, the cacophony of jackdaws in the morning is a clever solution to 53 a large group. If you're 54 by the noise, find comfort in the fact that the louder they get, the sooner they'll leave you in 55 .

Art is a way to beautify lifeless urban spaces. We've seen examples of street artists working to improve urban scenery — by using new 56 （equip）, or creating fantastic wall paintings.

第二节（满分25分）
Joe and I had been looking forward to our retirement. However, when he suffered a heart attack last spring, he was forced to leave his job as a truck driver earlier than we had planned. As the medical bills increased, we realized I would have to continue working full-time while Joe stayed home and took over the housework.
This new arrangement was a disaster. One night, when I dragged myself to bed, I was horrified to discover Joe had turned our white sheets blue. He told me he had found out how to save on water, soap and electricity. He patted his blue trousers and announced proudly washing everything together was the secret.
When I awoke to the deafening rain the next morning, all I wanted was a hot home-cooked meal. However, what greeted me at the table was a microwave package. I knew my husband had his faults, but I thought he at least knew how to cook! I knew if I didn't leave the house soon I would lose my temper with him. As the heavy rain thundered down outside, Joe offered to drive me to work. I ignored him as I struggled into my jacket and seized my bag with my teaching plans inside.
He insisted that he should take me and reached for his boots. I looked at the piles of newspapers and the dirty dishes still on the table. "Don't you have enough to do I can take care of myself."I stormed out, not even kissing him goodbye. Joe shouted after me not to take the shortcut （捷径）.
Ten minutes later, I ignored Joe's warning and turned off the main route to take the shortcut. I thought it hadn't rained enough to flood the road, but as I rounded the corner, water rushed across my path. After a few feet, the car got stuck. I opened the door and water poured in. I hurriedly closed the door. I couldn't risk walking in this. Almost 20 minutes passed. The car began to shake. I got the fright of my life when I heard three long honks （喇叭声）.
注意：1.续写的词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Looking over my shoulder, I stared into the flashing lights of a familiar truck.
After getting to our warm home, Joe held my hand tight.
