阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
I’m a strong believer in learning different languages, which makes you look incredibly good when you’re in a foreign country and can understand and speak the language. The following are 4 apps that will help you learn a foreign language! You can download them for free.
Babbel
Babbel’s lessons are mainly quiz-styled and use audio, pictures and words to help you with the grammar and vocabulary of your chosen language. It helps you use most of the skills needed to learn a language. Your skills are improved by carrying out different tasks, such as completing sentences with missing words, translating, placing words in order and so on.
FluentU
FluentU takes native language content like music videos, news and inspiring talks and turns them into language learning lessons. The videos all make use of interactive subtitles to ensure understanding, allow users to save material for later review, and make the experience more enjoyable. Clicking on a word or phrase brings up extra information, including example sentences and other video clips that use the language item.
Tandem
Rather than have you work through tasks and memorise different things, the app matches you up with people who share your interests but speak the language you want to learn. You can then have text, voice and video conversations with people to learn their native language, and in return they can learn yours, all by simply communicating with each other.
Busuu
This app is perfect if you want to learn English. There are all sorts of audio and visual learning aids. You’ll find yourself working through interactive tests and learning tools for the vocabulary and dialogue.
21．Which app suits you best if you want to learn through communication
A．Babbel. B．FluentU. C．Tandem. D．Busuu.
22．What do the apps have in common
A．They cover all languages. B．They focus on grammar.
C．They contain many tests. D．They are free to download.
23．What is the writer’s purpose of writing the passage
A．To sell apps to language learners. B．To teach languages through apps.
C．To introduce language learning apps. D．To teach language learners to use apps.
B
After I made it to the city center, I started to feel it might be easy for a foreigner to deal with the great size of Beijing. With growing confidence, I decided to take the subway to the hotel, not realizing that the network didn’t go that far. Impressed with the cleanliness of the station, I bought a ticket and boarded the first subway that came along.
After a few minutes I asked in English a young man seated next to me where I should get off closest to the Friendship Hotel. Wearing a smart business suit and tie, he would surely speak English, wouldn’t he Unfortunately, he couldn’t understand me but seemed very friendly. I showed him the room card with all the information of the Friendship Hotel in Chinese characters. He looked at it, and then his eyes moved quickly to the carriage (车厢) subway map. Next, he raised three fingers of his right hand.
In Australia, raising fingers at someone is not usually nice, but this man wasn’t smiling. At the next station he showed me two fingers. Now in Australia, that’s really rude, but I got the message. When we stopped at the third station, he didn’t just point to the door, but got up, took me out of the train, and led me to the top of the stairs, and out onto the street. Then he stopped a taxi and told the driver where to take me.
All this came from a man who couldn’t speak my language, and I couldn’t speak his. I was now speechless, especially when he refused my offer of money. I felt a little embarrassed having even thought he would accept a tip.
This experience made it clear I had to learn some Chinese quickly or my adventures might start turning into misadventures.
24．The author decided to take the subway because
A．he believed in his ability to deal with the trip
B．the network covered most of the stops
C．he lived near the city center
D．he had a good impression of its cleanliness
25．Having been shown the room card, the young man .
A．still remained puzzled B．understood the author well
C．answered the author directly D．pointed at the subway map
26．Which of the following can’t be used to describe the young man
A．helpful. B．impolite. C．warm-hearted. D．responsible.
27．The author’s purpose of writing this passage
A．prove the importance of being careful
B．introduce a young man who didn’t know English
C．complain some cultural misunderstanding
D．describe one of his adventurous experiences
C
It's school time again! You're probably feeling excited and maybe a little sad that summer is over. Some kids feel nervous or a little frightened on the first day of school because of all the new things: new teachers, new friends, and even a new school. Luckily, these "new" worries only stick around for a little while. Let's find out more about going to a new school.
Most teachers kick off the new school year by introducing themselves and talking about all the stuff you'll be doing that year. Some teachers give students a chance to tell something about themselves to the rest of the class, too. When teachers do the talking on the first day, they often read classroom rules and school rules to you so you'll know what's allowed and what's not. Please pay close attention.
You might already know a lot of people in your class on the first day, but it's a great day to make a new friend, so try to say hello to kids you know and new ones that you don't know. Make the first move and you'll be glad you did, and so will your new friends!
Seeing friends you haven't seen for some time can make the first day a good one. You can make the day feel special by wearing clothes that you really like. Maybe you got a great T-shirt on one of your vacations, or a pair of sneakers. It also can make you feel good to be prepared and have all the things you need, such as pencils, folders, and whatever else you'll need. But make sure that you pack them the night before in case you don't have time in the morning.
28．The underlined phrase "kick off" in the second paragraph probably mean “ ”
A．Start. B．Study. C．Find. D．Teach.
29．The last paragraph mainly tell us about
A．What to know about a new school. B．How to prepare for a new school.
C．What to do on your first day of school. D．How to spend your first day of school.
30．According to the passage, you usually do the following things on the first day of school except _________.
A．introduce yourself B．learn about the school rules
C．make new friends D．go over your new lessons
31．If you happen to see an old friend on the first day of school, what will you feel from the passage we know
A．Nervous. B．Sad. C．Happy. D．Worried.
D
How clever can a computer be Maybe you can get the answer after reading the following passage about a newly-developed US computer program called Smarter Child.
If you ran into Smarter Child online, you would be surprised at this kid’s huge memory. It can remember many facts. For example, Smarter Child knows every baseball player in every team this season and the weather in every city across the US. He also knows every word in the dictionary. However, if you ask Smarter Child other private questions, you will get strange answers. A question about Smarter Child’s age returns, “I’ll be older than you after further study!”, and asking where he lives, you will get, “In a clean room in a high-tech building in California.”
Smarter Child uses the huge information on the World Wide Web as his memory bank. To answer questions about spelling, for example, Smarter Child goes to www.ahdictionary.com. For the weather, he visits www.. He turns to www.the- for scientists and www. for a fantastic movie.
Some scientists believe that by joining many systems of the Internet, an Artificial Intelligence (AI) with the combined knowledge of, say, Albert Einstein, Richard Nixon and Britney Spears could be born. However, Smarter Child has difficulty in discerning whether a behavior is right or wrong, which is obvious to any young child. If he wants to think and learn without any help from the programmers like boy-computer David in the movie Artificial Intelligence (AI), he must solve two problems.
The first is that computers find it difficult to read web pages because the files are sorted in different ways. That’s why programmers need to tell Smarter Child where to look for the weather. It would be a much more difficult task to let him find it by himself. Another problem is that while Smarter Child can deal with information more exactly and faster than any human, he needs programmers to make better systems that allow machines to solve problems of common sense, which is a huge challenge.
32．What may be unknown to Smarter Child
A．His age. B．The weather in New York.
C．A word in the dictionary. D．A player’s name of the Boston Redsox.
33．Which website can Smarter Child visit to answer the spelling questions
A．www. B．www.
C．www.the- D．www.ahdictionary.com
34．What does the underlined word “discerning” in paragraph 4 mean
A．Preventing. B．Copying. C．Inventing. D．Telling.
35．How is boy-computer David different from Smarter Child
A．He has a huge memory. B．He can think and learn independently.
C．He can make a weather forecast. D．He deals with information fast.

Working provides good experience
Working part-time is a good experience for students. Of course, it has some bad points. As for me, I have a part-time job working at a supermarket. It is harder than it looks. Sometimes I have to give up my sleeping time in order to do my homework. 36 However, thanks to it, or because of it, I have learned to use my time more wisely.
37 Of course we do, but I don’t think students work just for money. We get other things from working. For example, I have learned to communicate better with other generations.
38 I can’t spend as much time at school as I did before. I don’t have as much time to see my friends. It’s harder to get my schoolwork done. Sometimes, I have to ask for time off from work because I need time to finish school projects.
I can’t act the same way at my workplace as I do at school. However, to communicate with different generations is a useful experience for me. 39 When I am part of it, thanks to my part-time work experience now, I’ll have learned how to communicate better with adults.
What I want to say is that although working part-time has some bad points for students, it also gives us valuable experience for whatever we do later in life. 40
A．That is not good, I know.
B．However, working does affect my life as a student.
C．I think schoolwork is more important for students.
D．Sooner or later, I have to be a member of adult society.
E．In conclusion, students should balance part-time job and study.
F．Some people say that students take part-time jobs only for money.
G．Therefore, working part-time is really a good experience for students.

A Secret Promise Kept
When I was a little boy, I loved to visit the fire station where my father worked. Sometimes Dad would give me a ten cents to buy a soda (汽水).
One day, I took two friends to the station to show my dad off. I asked Dad if we could each have a soda before we went home for lunch. I sensed just the slightest hesitation in my father’s voice. But he said “sure” and gave us each a dime (一毛钱). We each bought a soda and headed home for lunch and a summer afternoon of swimming.
When I came home, I heard my parents talking. Mom seemed upset with Dad, and then I heard my name mentioned. “You should have just said you didn’t have money for sodas. Brian would have understood. We don’t have any extra money, and you need to have your lunch.”
I suddenly realized the sacrifice (牺牲) my father had made for it. For the next twenty years, he worked three jobs to support my big family.
One afternoon Dad’s old car broke down, and he asked me to take him to his doctor’s appointment. As I pulled up to the firehouse, I saw Dad outside around a brand-new pickup truck with the other firemen. It was a beauty. Dad said, “Someday, I’ll own a truck like that.”
My brothers and I were doing well in business. We had offered to buy him a truck, but he refused.
When Dad stepped out of the doctor’s office, his face was pale. “Let’s go,” was all he said.
We drove by the old house, the lake and the corner store, and Dad started talking about the memories each place held and how proud he was of us. That was when I knew he was dying, which totally shocked me. He made me promise that I would never tell anyone of his impending (迫近的) death. I agreed, knowing it was the toughest secret to keep.

Dear headmaster,
I’m Li Hua, a student in Senior One. I got to know that there would be a student exchange programme. I want to apply for it，because I think it's a good opportunity for me to improve my English .
My English is good and I can communicate with foreigners fluently. I have many hobbies and love doing sports. Besides, I always get on well with others.
If I am lucky enough to have the chance，I promise to learn hard to improve myself. I would appreciate it if you could give me this chance.
【读后叙写】
At the time, I was looking to buy a new truck, so I invited Dad to go to the local car dealer’s(经销商) shop with me. As we entered the showroom and I started talking with the salesman, I spotted Dad looking at a beautiful chocolate-brown pickup truck, running his hand over it. I said to my father, “Dad, you really like that brown truck, don’t you ” Dad nodded smilingly. “Why don’t you go inside and see how it feels？I’ll look at the other trucks.” Having looked around, I decided on a blue truck. I told the salesman I would take the brown one too, for my dad, after which we made the deal.
I walked to my father with the key to the brown truck to my father. “Dad, the brown truck is yours now. A gift from me.” “What !” he exclaimed, “I can’t accept it.” “You have made too many sacrifices for us. You deserve it.” Hearing what I said, Dad held my hands tightly, tears welling up in his eyes, saying “Thank you, son.” I asked him to promise me not to tell anyone I bought the truck for him. Grinning from ear to ear, he nodded a yes and got into his dream car. We both kept our promise, knowing it was a promise of love.
