What you can do with FluentU
Do personalized quizzes with speaking.
Understand and truly enjoy real world videos.
Learn new words in multiple contexts.
Reviews from users
FluentU is a great method to learn a foreign language. We watch videos with subtitles and at any time, we can stop the video if we don’t understand a word or an expression. We click on for additional explanations. Then, we have a quiz to work the vocabulary. I find this method very interesting to improve and stay motivated.
—Estelle Jaouen
I appreciate being able to hear the pronunciation from a male and female voice. I think the mix of characters and pinyin are great and well-balanced. I love the fact that I’ve only been doing this for less than a month and I already know dozens of useful phrases and words!
—Maria van Eeden
I like the fact that it’s very dynamic and not grammar focused. Also, having many videos to learn from makes it even less boring no matter where you are as long as you have a smart phone. I like to just watch each video one time, pause at each sentence and try to remember words and sentences.
—Eduard Marius
The best thing about FluentU is that you have direct context for each new vocabulary that you learn. Repeating the dialogues is the way I learn. Also, that you can bring in your own vocabulary list and that the program searches for videos or material in which the words are included are remarkable!
—Jan Rehmer

Thousands of people waited in line for hours until 10: 30 am for the grand opening of the Haikou International Duty Free City Shopping Complex (建筑群) — the world’s largest stand-alone duty-free facility.
Located near the key transportation center of Haikou along the northern coast of the island province of Hainan, the shopping area covers an area of 280,000 square meters and features more than 800 notable brands, including five global firsts and more than 50 stores with the world’s latest concept designs.
In 2021, about one in two travelers to the tropical island visited duty-free shops and one in six purchased offshore duty-free goods. As a result, duty free sales in Hainan accounted for about half of the province’s tourism revenue of the year.
Chen Lin, 37, from Jinan, Shandong, was visiting Hainan with her family and found herself attracted to all the shopping options. “The newly opened complex provides adequate stocks of latest products. What’s more, like us, tourists can purchase duty-free goods at good prices. With convenience and favorable policy, an increasing number of customers from outside Hainan will be attracted to come here,” Chen said.
The large complex brings local cultural forces to the front. The facility’s architectural shape is based on the begonia (秋海棠) flower and incorporates elements such as Haikou’s natural characteristics and ocean culture.
Han Yamei, 48, a local, visited the shopping complex and was amazed by its numerous brands and creative design. She couldn’t help asking her daughter to take photos of her. Han said the opening will not only bring shoppers a beautiful experience, but also give a boost to the local economy, adding that, “It’s located next to Xinhai Port, which is very convenient for visitors by ship to come and shop.”
4. What were so many people waiting to do according to paragraph 1
A. Sell foreign goods. B. Visit unique buildings.
C. Perform a show. D. Attend an important ceremony.
5. What does the underlined word “revenue” in paragraph 3 mean

6. Which of the following can attract tourists most according to Chen Lin
A. Local customs. B. Duty-free goods. C. Natural scenery. D. Pleasant climate.
7. What does Han Yamei think of the shopping complex
A. It is of little value. B. It requires further proof.

When parrots are kept as single pets, they tend to feel lonely just like humans. This is why researchers looked for a way to connect single pet birds by teaching them how to video call each other.
This experiment is not incredible since parrots are known to be very smart and easy to train. If they can be trained to talk, teaching them how to make a video call would be a piece of cake. However, what the researchers wanted to know through this study was whether birds would call each other when given a choice. The answer to this was a clear “yes”. Researchers from Northeastern University, the University of Glasgow, and Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) found that virtual interactions could help with the behavior of a parrot and improve their communication skills.
In the first two weeks of the study, the birds learned how to make a video call by ringing a bell and touching an image of another parrot on the screen. The caretakers carefully monitored the birds’ behavior during this stage and ended the call as soon as the birds stopped paying attention or started to show signs of fear or aggression (攻击性).
The next phase, which they call the “open call period”, allowed the birds to make calls freely and pick the bird they wanted to call. The remaining 15 participants made 147 video calls over the period of three months, which was equal to over 1,000 hours of video footage.
The study had a few significant findings. First, the birds engaged in most calls and formed strong preferences. It also showed that the birds who initiated the most were the ones who got the most call requests from other birds, which is similar to human socialization. The birds also developed attachments with their virtual friends’ human caretakers.
The researchers warned owners not to do the same experiment on their own as it should only be done by trained caretakers. It may cause parrots to become aggressive, scared, or uncomfortable.
8. What is the purpose of the experiment
A. To test parrots’ intelligence. B. To improve parrots’ mental health.
C. To help parrots to develop more skills. D. To find a suitable way to raise parrots.
9. What made the experiment possible
A. Parrots’ needs. B. Parrots’ preferences. C. An experienced team. D. Parrots’ nature.
10. In which case did the researchers end the video call in the experiment
A. When the parrots were tired. B. When the parrots were busy calling.
C. When the parrots showed discomfort. D. When researchers got their desired results.
11. Why did the researchers warn owners not to do the same experiment themselves
A. To avoid causing harm to the parrots. B. To protect the owners from being hurt.
C. To prevent their research being copied. D. To get more trained caretakers involved.
【答案】8. B 9. D 10. C 11. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了当鹦鹉被当作单身宠物饲养时，它们往往会像人类一样感到孤独，为了不让它们感到孤独，研究人员通过教宠物鹦鹉如何与其它单身鹦鹉视频通话沟通来缓解孤独。

推理判断题。由第一段“When parrots are kept as single pets, they tend to feel lonely just like humans. This is why researchers looked for a way to connect single pet birds by teaching them how to video call each other. (当鹦鹉被当作单身宠物饲养时，它们往往会像人类一样感到孤独。这就是为什么研究人员通过教宠物鹦鹉如何视频通话来寻找一种与单身鹦鹉沟通的方法的原因)”可知，当鹦鹉被当作单身宠物饲养时，它们往往会像人类一样感到孤独，为了不让它们感到孤独，研究人员通过教宠物鹦鹉如何与其它单身鹦鹉视频通话沟通来缓解孤独，可得出实验的目的是改善鹦鹉的心理健康。故选B项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。由第二段中“This experiment is not incredible since parrots are known to be very smart and easy to train. If they can be trained to talk, teaching them how to make a video call would be a piece of cake. (这个实验并不令人难以置信，因为众所周知，鹦鹉非常聪明，易于训练。如果能训练它们说话，教它们如何进行视频通话将是小菜一碟)”可知，鹦鹉天性聪颖，易于训练，所以教它们如何进行视频通话将是小菜一碟，可得出鹦鹉的天性使实验成为可能。故选D项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。由第三段中“The caretakers carefully monitored the birds’ behavior during this stage and ended the call as soon as the birds stopped paying attention or started to show signs of fear or aggression (攻击性). (在这一阶段，看护人员仔细监测鹦鹉的行为，并在鹦鹉停止注意或开始表现出恐惧或攻击的迹象时结束视频电话)”可知，当鹦鹉表现出不适时（如鹦鹉停止注意或开始表现出恐惧或攻击的迹象），研究人员会结束实验中的视频通话。故选C项。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。由最后一段“The researchers warned owners not to do the same experiment on their own as it should only be done by trained caretakers. It may cause parrots to become aggressive, scared, or uncomfortable. (研究人员警告主人不要自己做同样的实验，因为只有受过训练的看护人才能做。这可能会导致鹦鹉变得好斗、害怕或不舒服)”可知，因为要避免（未受过训练的主人做的实验可能）对鹦鹉造成的伤害，研究人员警告主人不要自己做同样的实验。故选A项。

The University of Sydney researchers aim to help clear up conflicting dietary advice around egg consumption, as a new study finds eating up to 12 eggs per week for a year did not increase cardiovascular (心血管) risk factors in people with type 2 diabetes (糖尿病).
In the initial trial, participants aimed to maintain their weight while taking on a high-egg (12 eggs per week) or low-egg (less than two eggs per week) diet, with no difference in cardiovascular risk markers identified at the end of three months.
The same participants then took on a weight loss diet for an additional three months, while continuing their high or low egg consumption. For a further six months — up to 12 months in total — participants were followed up by researchers and continued their high or low egg intake.
At all stages, both groups showed no harmful changes in cardiovascular risk markers and achieved equal weight loss — regardless of their level of egg consumption, Dr Fuller, leader researcher of the study, explained.
“Despite differing advice around safe levels of egg consumption for people with type 2 diabetes, our research indicates people do not need to hold back from eating eggs if this is part of a healthy diet,” Dr Fuller said.
Dr Fuller said the findings of the study were important due to the potential health benefits of eggs for people with type 2 diabetes, as well as the general population. “Eggs are a source of protein and micronutrients that could support a range of health and dietary factors including helping to regulate the intake of fat and carbohydrate (碳水化合物), eye and heart health, healthy blood vessels and healthy pregnancies.”
“The different egg diets also appeared to have no impact on weight,” Dr Fuller added.
12. What may previous advice say about eating 12 eggs a week
A. It is an important part of a weight loss diet.
B. It helps to regulate the intake of fat and carbohydrate.
C. It increases type 2 diabetes risk in people with cardiovascular disease.
D. It increases cardiovascular risk factors in people with type 2 diabetes.
13. What effect did the participants want to achieve in the first trial
A. Being in shape. B. Adapting to high egg diet.
C. Controlling diseases. D. Increasing nutrition.
14. What is Dr Fuller’s attitude towards high-egg diet
A. Objective. B. Supportive. C. Skeptical. D. Opposed.
15. What is the best title for the text
A. Eggs contribute to a range of health and dietary factors
B. The safe levels of egg consumption for people with type 2 diabetes
C. Eggs are not linked to cardiovascular risk, despite conflicting advice
D. The impact eggs have on weight for people with cardiovascular disease
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. B 15. C
【解析】

【13题详解】
细节理解题。由第二段“In the initial trial, participants aimed to maintain their weight while taking on a high-egg (12 eggs per week) or low-egg (less than two eggs per week) diet, with no difference in cardiovascular risk markers identified at the end of three months. (在最初的试验中，参与者的目标是在吃多蛋（每周12个蛋）或少蛋（每周少于两个蛋）饮食的同时保持体重，在三个月结束时确定的心血管风险标志物没有差异。)”可知，参与者希望在第一次试验中达到的效果是不增重，保持身材。故选A项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。由第五段Dr Fuller说的话“Despite differing advice around safe levels of egg consumption for people with type 2 diabetes, our research indicates people do not need to hold back from eating eggs if this is part of a healthy diet (尽管对2型糖尿病患者的鸡蛋安全食用水平有不同的建议，但我们的研究表明，如果这是健康饮食的一部分，人们不需要抑制吃鸡蛋。)”和倒数第二段中“Dr Fuller said the findings of the study were important due to the potential health benefits of eggs for people with type 2 diabetes, as well as the general population. (富勒博士说，这项研究的发现很重要，因为鸡蛋对2型糖尿病患者和普通人群的潜在健康益处。)”可知，Dr Fuller认为鸡蛋对2型糖尿病患者和普通人群有潜在的健康益处，鸡蛋作为健康饮食的一部分，人们不需要抑制吃鸡蛋，可得出Dr Fuller对高蛋饮食持支持态度。故选B项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。由第一段“The University of Sydney researchers aim to help clear up conflicting dietary advice around egg consumption, as a new study finds eating up to 12 eggs per week for a year did not increase cardiovascular (心血管) risk factors in people with type 2 diabetes (糖尿病) (悉尼大学的研究人员旨在帮助澄清关于食用鸡蛋的相互矛盾的饮食建议，因为一项新的研究发现，一年内每周食用12个鸡蛋并不会增加2型糖尿病患者的心血管风险因素。)”和全文可知，文章讲述一项研究表明，虽与之前的饮食建议相互矛盾，但一年内每周食用12个鸡蛋并不会增加2型糖尿病患者的心血管风险因素，C项“尽管有相互矛盾的建议，但鸡蛋与心血管风险无关”概括文章大意，适合作为文章标题。故选C项。

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
On a cold winter day at the Palisades Tahoe ski resort, many skiers and snowboarders were skiing happily in the snow. Janet He and her husband, Joseph Lu, were among them, gliding gracefully through the snowy peaks with joy.
Unexpectedly, things took a scary turn. As they went down the mountain, a loud noise filled the air, making the skiers panic. A huge avalanche (雪崩) was rushing towards them with strong force.
Janet tried hard to keep up with her husband, skiing desperately to find safety. But the avalanche was too strong, and quickly covered her. She was swept down the mountain, unable to control her movements under the heavy snow.
The weight of the snow pressed down on her, ruining her hopes of pulling herself up. She was buried, her face buried in the snow. She was lucky she had the face mask and had some air in the face mask. She fought against the heavy pressure, thinking of her husband and their life together. Just as darkness was about to take over, she found her determination.
She focused on calming herself down, knowing that panicking would use up her air. With every passing moment, she held onto hope and found the strength to endure the cold.
Meanwhile, Joseph crazily looked for his wife, calling her name but with no response. Time seemed to go so slowly as he worried about what would happen if he couldn’t find her in time.
Just when he felt despair, a stranger’s voice cut through the chaos (混乱). The words “Don’t worry. I’ve got you,” filled Joseph with relief and hope.
The stranger fearlessly made his way through the dangerous snow, carrying the heavy responsibility. Guided by determination and skill, they finally found Janet buried in the snow.
注意：

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
The stranger worked quickly to free Janet from the heavy snow. He worked hard, both hands swiftly digging through the heavy snow to free Janet. Finally, Janet emerged from the cold, her heart filled with gratitude for her unexpected rescuer. Tears welled up in her eyes as she spoke, “I can’t thank you enough. You saved my life.” She understood the seriousness of the situation, knowing that her fate had rested in the hands of this compassionate stranger.
Once she was rescued, the couple walked down the mountain with no injuries. They held each other tightly, thankful to be safe and together once again. “Thank you for not giving up on me,” Janet whispered to Joseph, her eyes still filled with tears of gratitude. Joseph held her close and said, “I promised to always be by your side, no matter what happens. I’m just thankful we’re both safe.” With a newfound appreciation for life and each other, the couple walked hand in hand, feeling the warmth of the sun on their faces and the promise of a brighter future ahead.

What you can do with FluentU
Do personalized quizzes with speaking.
Understand and truly enjoy real world videos.
Learn new words in multiple contexts.
Reviews from users
FluentU is a great method to learn a foreign language. We watch videos with subtitles and at any time, we can stop the video if we don’t understand a word or an expression. We click on for additional explanations. Then, we have a quiz to work the vocabulary. I find this method very interesting to improve and stay motivated.
—Estelle Jaouen
I appreciate being able to hear the pronunciation from a male and female voice. I think the mix of characters and pinyin are great and well-balanced. I love the fact that I’ve only been doing this for less than a month and I already know dozens of useful phrases and words!
—Maria van Eeden
I like the fact that it’s very dynamic and not grammar focused. Also, having many videos to learn from makes it even less boring no matter where you are as long as you have a smart phone. I like to just watch each video one time, pause at each sentence and try to remember words and sentences.
—Eduard Marius
The best thing about FluentU is that you have direct context for each new vocabulary that you learn. Repeating the dialogues is the way I learn. Also, that you can bring in your own vocabulary list and that the program searches for videos or material in which the words are included are remarkable!
—Jan Rehmer

Thousands of people waited in line for hours until 10: 30 am for the grand opening of the Haikou International Duty Free City Shopping Complex (建筑群) — the world’s largest stand-alone duty-free facility.
Located near the key transportation center of Haikou along the northern coast of the island province of Hainan, the shopping area covers an area of 280,000 square meters and features more than 800 notable brands, including five global firsts and more than 50 stores with the world’s latest concept designs.
In 2021, about one in two travelers to the tropical island visited duty-free shops and one in six purchased offshore duty-free goods. As a result, duty free sales in Hainan accounted for about half of the province’s tourism revenue of the year.
Chen Lin, 37, from Jinan, Shandong, was visiting Hainan with her family and found herself attracted to all the shopping options. “The newly opened complex provides adequate stocks of latest products. What’s more, like us, tourists can purchase duty-free goods at good prices. With convenience and favorable policy, an increasing number of customers from outside Hainan will be attracted to come here,” Chen said.
The large complex brings local cultural forces to the front. The facility’s architectural shape is based on the begonia (秋海棠) flower and incorporates elements such as Haikou’s natural characteristics and ocean culture.
Han Yamei, 48, a local, visited the shopping complex and was amazed by its numerous brands and creative design. She couldn’t help asking her daughter to take photos of her. Han said the opening will not only bring shoppers a beautiful experience, but also give a boost to the local economy, adding that, “It’s located next to Xinhai Port, which is very convenient for visitors by ship to come and shop.”
4. What were so many people waiting to do according to paragraph 1
A. Sell foreign goods. B. Visit unique buildings.
C. Perform a show. D. Attend an important ceremony.
5. What does the underlined word “revenue” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Income. B. Resort. C. Spending. D. Administration.
6. Which of the following can attract tourists most according to Chen Lin
A. Local customs. B. Duty-free goods. C. Natural scenery. D. Pleasant climate.
7. What does Han Yamei think of the shopping complex
A. It is of little value. B. It requires further proof.
C. It is praiseworthy. D. It is against her guess.

When parrots are kept as single pets, they tend to feel lonely just like humans. This is why researchers looked for a way to connect single pet birds by teaching them how to video call each other.
This experiment is not incredible since parrots are known to be very smart and easy to train. If they can be trained to talk, teaching them how to make a video call would be a piece of cake. However, what the researchers wanted to know through this study was whether birds would call each other when given a choice. The answer to this was a clear “yes”. Researchers from Northeastern University, the University of Glasgow, and Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) found that virtual interactions could help with the behavior of a parrot and improve their communication skills.
In the first two weeks of the study, the birds learned how to make a video call by ringing a bell and touching an image of another parrot on the screen. The caretakers carefully monitored the birds’ behavior during this stage and ended the call as soon as the birds stopped paying attention or started to show signs of fear or aggression (攻击性).
The next phase, which they call the “open call period”, allowed the birds to make calls freely and pick the bird they wanted to call. The remaining 15 participants made 147 video calls over the period of three months, which was equal to over 1,000 hours of video footage.
The study had a few significant findings. First, the birds engaged in most calls and formed strong preferences. It also showed that the birds who initiated the most were the ones who got the most call requests from other birds, which is similar to human socialization. The birds also developed attachments with their virtual friends’ human caretakers.
The researchers warned owners not to do the same experiment on their own as it should only be done by trained caretakers. It may cause parrots to become aggressive, scared, or uncomfortable.
8. What is the purpose of the experiment
A. To test parrots’ intelligence. B. To improve parrots’ mental health.
C To help parrots to develop more skills. D. To find a suitable way to raise parrots.
9. What made the experiment possible
A. Parrots’ needs. B. Parrots’ preferences. C. An experienced team. D. Parrots’ nature.
10. In which case did the researchers end the video call in the experiment
A. When the parrots were tired. B. When the parrots were busy calling.
C. When the parrots showed discomfort. D. When researchers got their desired results.
11. Why did the researchers warn owners not to do the same experiment themselves
A. To avoid causing harm to the parrots. B. To protect the owners from being hurt.
C. To prevent their research being copied. D. To get more trained caretakers involved.

The University of Sydney researchers aim to help clear up conflicting dietary advice around egg consumption as a new study finds eating up to 12 eggs per week for a year did not increase cardiovascular (心血管) risk factors in people with type 2 diabetes (糖尿病).
In the initial trial, participants aimed to maintain their weight while taking on a high-egg (12 eggs per week) or low-egg (less than two eggs per week) diet, with no difference in cardiovascular risk markers identified at the end of three months.
The same participants then took on a weight loss diet for an additional three months, while continuing their high or low egg consumption. For a further six months — up to 12 months in total — participants were followed up by researchers and continued their high or low egg intake.
At all stages, both groups showed no harmful changes in cardiovascular risk markers and achieved equal weight loss — regardless of their level of egg consumption, Dr Fuller, leader researcher of the study, explained.
“Despite differing advice around safe levels of egg consumption for people with type 2 diabetes, our research indicates people do not need to hold back from eating eggs if this is part of a healthy diet,” Dr Fuller said.
Dr Fuller said the findings of the study were important due to the potential health benefits of eggs for people with type 2 diabetes, as well as the general population. “Eggs are a source of protein and micronutrients that could support a range of health and dietary factors including helping to regulate the intake of fat and carbohydrate (碳水化合物), eye and heart health, healthy blood vessels and healthy pregnancies.”
“The different egg diets also appeared to have no impact on weight,” Dr Fuller added.
12. What may previous advice say about eating 12 eggs a week
A. It is an important part of a weight loss diet.
B. It helps to regulate the intake of fat and carbohydrate.
C. It increases type 2 diabetes risk in people with cardiovascular disease.
D. It increases cardiovascular risk factors in people with type 2 diabetes.
13. What effect did the participants want to achieve in the first trial
A. Being in shape. B. Adapting to high egg diet.
C. Controlling diseases. D. Increasing nutrition.
14. What is Dr Fuller’s attitude towards high-egg diet
A. Objective. B. Supportive. C. Skeptical. D. Opposed.
15. What is the best title for the text
A. Eggs contribute to a range of health and dietary factors
B. The safe levels of egg consumption for people with type 2 diabetes
C. Eggs are not linked to cardiovascular risk, despite conflicting advice
D. The impact eggs have on weight for people with cardiovascular disease

On a cold winter day at the Palisades Tahoe ski resort, many skiers and snowboarders were skiing happily in the snow. Janet He and her husband, Joseph Lu, were among them, gliding gracefully through the snowy peaks with joy.
Unexpectedly, things took a scary turn. As they went down the mountain, a loud noise filled the air, making the skiers panic. A huge avalanche (雪崩) was rushing towards them with strong force.
Janet tried hard to keep up with her husband, skiing desperately to find safety. But the avalanche was too strong, and quickly covered her. She was swept down the mountain, unable to control her movements under the heavy snow.
The weight of the snow pressed down on her, ruining her hopes of pulling herself up. She was buried, her face buried in the snow. She was lucky she had the face mask and had some air in the face mask. She fought against the heavy pressure, thinking of her husband and their life together. Just as darkness was about to take over, she found her determination.
She focused on calming herself down, knowing that panicking would use up her air. With every passing moment, she held onto hope and found the strength to endure the cold.
Meanwhile, Joseph crazily looked for his wife, calling her name but with no response. Time seemed to go so slowly as he worried about what would happen if he couldn’t find her in time.
Just when he felt despair, a stranger’s voice cut through the chaos (混乱). The words “Don’t worry. I’ve got you,” filled Joseph with relief and hope.
The stranger fearlessly made his way through the dangerous snow, carrying the heavy responsibility. Guided by determination and skill, they finally found Janet buried in the snow.
