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 (交互的) subtitles (字幕) 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.

I was traveling in Spain with my sister who was living there. I went into a bakery to order a couple of pastries(点心). There were different kinds of bread on a shelf, but only one kind had a little sign hanging from the shelf that said “something something borrachos”. I didn’t necessarily want that kind, but it was the only labeled one, so naturally I waved the guy behind the counter and ordered “dos borrachos por favor”.
I was pretty timid about my Spanish, so I whispered it. The men sitting near me all stopped talking and looked at me. The guy, very seriously, said, “que quieras (What do you want )”
I shyly said again, with less confidence, “dos borrachos por favor.”
All the men around me started snickering(偷笑).
The guy again asked me what I wanted, and he was getting louder. He was raising his voice over the noise of the whole shop. He told me to speak up. Most of the tables now were also quiet.
I was getting a bit embarrassed. I thought he was making fun of my accent or I was pronouncing it wrong. I looked hard at the sign, made sure to pronounce correctly, and shouted “quiero dos borrachos! (I WANT 2 BORRACHOS!)”
He shouted, “aaaah, quieras dos BORRACHOS!” This time, he couldn’t keep a straight face and started guffawing(狂笑), and the rest in the shop followed.
I had no idea what was happening, so I just ran out, empty-handed and ashamed.
I came back and told my sister the story. She started laughing and explained “borrachos” means “drunk men” and the sign probably said that “drunk men were not welcome here” and that sign happened to hang under the shelf.
I had just shouted to a full shop that I WANTED a couple of drunk men.
4. Why did the author go to the shop
A. To buy something to eat. B. To see her sister.
C. To find a drunk man. D. To practise her Spanish.
5. What does the underlined word “timid” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Confident. B. Curious. C. Unsure. D. Angry.
6. What made all the people in the shop laugh
A. The author’s strange accent. B. The author’s wrong pronunciation.
C. The author’s shy behaviors. D. The author’s unusual order.
7. How was the author feeling when she left the shop
A. Amused. B. Embarrassed. C. Satisfied. D. Regretful.
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 scared 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 go over classroom rules and school rules 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 classes 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. Make the first move and you’ll be glad you did, and so will your new friend!
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 (运动鞋). 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 be needing. But make sure that you pack them the night before in case you don’t have time in the morning.
8. The underlined phrase “kick off” in the second paragraph probably means “________”.
A. start B. study C. find D. learn
9. The last paragraphs 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
10. According to the passage you usually do everything on the first day of school except ________.
A. introduce yourself B. learn about the school rules
C. make new friends D. go over your lessons
11. If you happen to see an old friend on the first day of school, from the passage we know that you will feel ________.
A. nervous B. mad C. happy D. upset
D
On July 19, China’s first high-speed Maglev (磁悬浮) train with a speed of 600 kilometers per hour rolled off Qingdao, Shandong. Experts believe it will fill the gap between high-speed rail (铁轨) and air transportation.
Maglev technology was first described by Jonathan Swift in 1726 in Culliver’ Travels. It was first developed in the 1940s by British engineer Eric Laithwaite. Shanghai Maglev Train is the fastest passenger train globally, reaching 430 km/h in operation today. The only other Maglev systems currently serving the public are Linimo in South Korea. In 2015, an experimental Maglev train in Japan broke the record for the fastest train globally, traveling at 603 km per hour.
The benefits of Maglev are hard to doubt. The trains can reach higher speeds. Preventing interactions between wheels and rails also means less noise and no mechanical damage. It is highly efficient in maintenance (维护) and has much less trouble in bad weather. It uses 30 percent less energy than traditional trains. Maglev trains use only electricity, which reduces pollution. The main problem facing the development of Maglev has always been high costs. Unlike traditional high-speed trains, the new trains do not adapt to existing transport systems. They can operate only on their unique tracks, unable to switch to thousands of miles of traditional paths. There was already a rail network between two cities, and it was much cheaper to upgrade the lines than to build new lines with new technology.
Roger Goodall, a professor at Loughborough University says, “Maglev is a competitor to cars and planes, as well as buses and subway systems. It has many natural enemies but no natural friends.” He remains convinced that its most significant benefit is “connecting cities”, but doubts that this technology will gain widespread acceptance any time soon.
What will win in the end, the brilliant future of the new technology or the cold mathematics
12. Which country has the fastest Maglev train in operation
A. Britain. B. China. C. South Korea. D. Japan.
13. Why can Maglev make less noise compared with traditional trains
A. Maglev’s wheels don’t touch rails. B. Maglev moves at higher speeds.
C. Maglev receives more attention. D. Maglev uses only electricity.
14. What is Roger Goodall’s attitude towards Maglev
A. Objective. B. Positive. C. Negative. D. Doubtful.
15. What is the best title for the text
A. The Differences Between Maglev and Traditional Trains
B. The Bright Future of the New Technology
C. Is the Air Transportation Still Far Away
D. Is There a Future for Maglev Trains

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。
When my daughters reached the third and fourth grades, I sometimes allowed them to walk to and from school alone if the weather permitted. One warm spring day, a little dog followed them home after school. It had short legs and long lovely ears. It was the cutest dog I had ever seen and the girls begged me to keep it.
The dog was about twelve weeks old. It had no collar (项圈) or identifying marks of any sort. I didn’t know what to do. I thought about posting an advertisement but I really didn’t want to. It would break the kids’ hearts if someone should show up. Besides, its owners should have watched it more closely.
By the end of the week the dog was part of our family. It was very intelligent and good with the girls. The following week something told me to check the lost-and-found section in the local paper. One particular advertisement jumped out at me and my heart beat with fear for what I read. Someone was begging for the return of a lost dog in the neighborhood of our grade school. The owner sounded extremely eager. My hand shook, and I couldn’t bring myself to pick up the paper.
Instead, I pretended I hadn’t seen the advertisement. I quickly put paper away in the drawer and continued with my dusting. I never said a word about it to the kids or my husband.
By then we had named the dog. It was Kevin, so we called it Kevin. It followed the girls everywhere they went. When they went outside, it was one step behind them. When they did the housework, it was there to lend a hand.
There was only one problem with this seemingly perfect picture: my conscience (良心) was bothering me. I wondered in my heart whether I had to call that number in the paper and see if our Kevin was the dog they were desperately seeking. It was the most difficult thing for me to do.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
But I had to make a decision.

The woman said, “Where is my dog I would like to have a look at it.”

I was traveling in Spain with my sister who was living there. I went into a bakery to order a couple of pastries(点心). There were different kinds of bread on a shelf, but only one kind had a little sign hanging from the shelf that said “something something borrachos”. I didn’t necessarily want that kind, but it was the only labeled one, so naturally I waved the guy behind the counter and ordered “dos borrachos por favor”.
I was pretty timid about my Spanish, so I whispered it. The men sitting near me all stopped talking and looked at me. The guy, very seriously, said, “que quieras (What do you want )”
I shyly said again, with less confidence, “dos borrachos por favor.”
All the men around me started snickering(偷笑).

I had no idea what was happening, so I just ran out, empty-handed and ashamed.
I came back and told my sister the story. She started laughing and explained “borrachos” means “drunk men” and the sign probably said that “drunk men were not welcome here” and that sign happened to hang under the shelf.
I had just shouted to a full shop that I WANTED a couple of drunk men.
4. Why did the author go to the shop

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者在西班牙旅行时，由于不熟练西班牙语，在咖啡店买点心时而闹了笑话的故事。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一自然段第二句话“I went into a bakery to order a couple of pastries(点心).(我走进一家面包店点了几份点心)”可知，作者到店里去是要买吃的。故选A项。
【5题详解】
词义猜测题。根据文章第二自然段第一句话“I was pretty timid about my Spanish, so I whispered it.(我对我的西班牙语很timid，所以我就小声说了出来。)”其后半句“我小声说了出来”，说明作者对自己的西班牙语并没有把握，因为不确定，所以才小声说出来，可知该句中的timid一词表示“不确定的、没有把握的”。故选C项。
【6题详解】
细节理解题，根据文章第五段第一句话“The guy again asked me what I wanted, and he was getting louder.(那家伙又问我想要什么，他的声音越来越大。)”和第六自然段最后一句话“I looked hard at the sign, made sure to pronounce correctly, and shouted “quiero dos borrachos! (I WANT 2 BORRACHOS!)” (我仔细看了看指示牌，确保发音正确，然后大喊‘quiero dos borrachos!(我要两个BORRACHOS!)’)”以及第七自然段“He shouted, “aaaah, quieras dos BORRACHOS!” This time, he couldn’t keep a straight face and started guffawing(狂笑), and the rest in the shop followed.(他喊道：‘啊，quieras dos BORRACHOS!’这一次，他忍不住狂笑，店里的其他人也跟着笑了起来。)”可知，店里的人大笑的原因是作者说要两个BORRACHOS；而根据倒数第二自然段“She started laughing and explained “borrachos” means “drunk men” and the sign probably said that “drunk men were not welcome here” and that sign happened to hang under the shelf.(她笑了起来，解释说‘borrachos’的意思是‘喝醉的男人’，牌子上可能写着‘这里不欢迎喝醉的男人’，而那个牌子正好挂在架子下面。)可知BORRACHOS指喝醉的男人，而作者当时并不知情，所以作者点了“两个喝醉的男人”，是这种不寻常的点餐方式使得店里的人大笑。故选D项。
7题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章倒数第三自然段“I had no idea what was happening, so I just ran out, empty-handed and ashamed.(我不知道发生了什么，所以我就跑了出去，两手空空，羞愧难当。)”可知，作者当时跑出店的时候感到很尴尬。故选B项。

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 scared 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 go over classroom rules and school rules 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 classes 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. Make the first move and you’ll be glad you did, and so will your new friend!
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 (运动鞋). 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 be needing. But make sure that you pack them the night before in case you don’t have time in the morning.
8. The underlined phrase “kick off” in the second paragraph probably means “________”.
A. start B. study C. find D. learn
9. The last paragraphs 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
10. According to the passage you usually do everything on the first day of school except ________.
A. introduce yourself B. learn about the school rules
C. make new friends D. go over your lessons
11. If you happen to see an old friend on the first day of school, from the passage we know that you will feel ________.
A. nervous B. mad C. happy D. upset
【答案】8. A 9. B 10. D 11. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文阐述了学生到了新的学校，遇到了新的老师同学，在一个陌生的环境里，怎样度过新学年的第一天。
【8题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词所在句后面的“by introducing themselves and talking about all the stuff you’ll be doing that year(介绍自己，并谈论你这一年要做的所有事情)”可知，在新学年大家都不认识，互相作介绍，所以推测是教师工作的开始。由此推知，划线词所在句意为“大多数老师在新学年以自我介绍和谈论这一年要做的事情开始”，即划线词与A选项“start”（开始）意思接近，故选A。
【9题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“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 be needing. But make sure that you pack them the night before in case you don’t have time in the morning.(它也可以让你感觉很好，准备好了所有你需要的东西，比如铅笔、文件夹和其他任何你需要的东西。但一定要在前一天晚上打包好，以防早上没时间)”可知，最后一段是告诉学生如何为新学期做准备，故选B。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“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 go over classroom rules and school rules so you’ll know what’s allowed and what’s not.(有些老师也会给学生一个机会，让他们向全班同学介绍自己。当老师在第一天讲课时，他们通常会复习课堂规则和学校规则，这样你就会知道什么是允许的，什么是不允许的)”和第三段中“You might already know a lot of people in your classes 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.(开学第一天，你可能已经认识了很多班里的人，但这是结交新朋友的好机会，所以试着和你认识的孩子和不认识的新朋友打招呼)”可知，在开学第一天你通常要自我介绍、学习校规和交到新朋友，D项“复习功课”未提及，故选D。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Seeing friends you haven’t seen for some time can make the first day a good one.(见到许久未见的朋友会让第一天过得很愉快)”可知，如果在开学的第一天碰巧看到一个老朋友会感到高兴，故选C。
D
On July 19, China’s first high-speed Maglev (磁悬浮) train with a speed of 600 kilometers per hour rolled off Qingdao, Shandong. Experts believe it will fill the gap between high-speed rail (铁轨) and air transportation.
Maglev technology was first described by Jonathan Swift in 1726 in Culliver’ Travels. It was first developed in the 1940s by British engineer Eric Laithwaite. Shanghai Maglev Train is the fastest passenger train globally, reaching 430 km/h in operation today. The only other Maglev systems currently serving the public are Linimo in South Korea. In 2015, an experimental Maglev train in Japan broke the record for the fastest train globally, traveling at 603 km per hour.
The benefits of Maglev are hard to doubt. The trains can reach higher speeds. Preventing interactions between wheels and rails also means less noise and no mechanical damage. It is highly efficient in maintenance (维护) and has much less trouble in bad weather. It uses 30 percent less energy than traditional trains. Maglev trains use only electricity, which reduces pollution. The main problem facing the development of Maglev has always been high costs. Unlike traditional high-speed trains, the new trains do not adapt to existing transport systems. They can operate only on their unique tracks, unable to switch to thousands of miles of traditional paths. There was already a rail network between two cities, and it was much cheaper to upgrade the lines than to build new lines with new technology.
Roger Goodall, a professor at Loughborough University says, “Maglev is a competitor to cars and planes, as well as buses and subway systems. It has many natural enemies but no natural friends.” He remains convinced that its most significant benefit is “connecting cities”, but doubts that this technology will gain widespread acceptance any time soon.
What will win in the end, the brilliant future of the new technology or the cold mathematics
12. Which country has the fastest Maglev train in operation
A. Britain. B. China. C. South Korea. D. Japan.
13. Why can Maglev make less noise compared with traditional trains
A. Maglev’s wheels don’t touch rails. B. Maglev moves at higher speeds.
C. Maglev receives more attention. D. Maglev uses only electricity.
14. What is Roger Goodall’s attitude towards Maglev
A. Objective. B. Positive. C. Negative. D. Doubtful.
15. What is the best title for the text
A. The Differences Between Maglev and Traditional Trains
B. The Bright Future of the New Technology
C. Is the Air Transportation Still Far Away
D. Is There a Future for Maglev Trains
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. B 15. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章介绍了一种新型列车——磁悬浮列车，通过介绍磁悬浮列车的时速、发展及优点，展望该技术未来的发展情况。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段第三句话“Shanghai Maglev Train is the fastest passenger train globally, reaching 430 km/h in operation today.(上海磁悬浮列车是全球最快的客运列车，目前运行速度达到430公里/小时)”可知，目前上海磁悬浮列车的运行速度是最快的，上海是中国的城市，结合选项可知是中国。故选B项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段第二句话“Preventing interactions between wheels and rails also means less noise and no mechanical damage.(防止车轮和轨道之间产生相互作用也意味着更少的噪音和没有机械损伤)”说明，磁悬浮列车的车轮与轨道之间无接触，这是磁悬浮列车产生更少噪音的原因。故选A项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段的“Roger Goodall, a professor at Loughborough University says, “Maglev is a competitor to cars and planes, as well as buses and subway systems. It has many natural enemies but no natural friends.”He remains convinced that its most significant benefit is “connecting cities”, but doubts that this technology will gain widespread acceptance any time soon.(拉夫堡大学教授罗杰·古道尔说：“磁浮是汽车、飞机、公共汽车和地铁系统的竞争对手。它有许多天敌，但没有天然朋友。”他仍然相信这项技术最大的好处是“连接城市”，但他不确定这项技术是否会很快得到广泛接受。)”可知，Roger Goodall认为磁悬浮技术在连接城市方面有巨大作用。由此推知他对该技术是持积极的态度。故选B项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章介绍了一种新型列车——磁悬浮列车，通过介绍磁悬浮列车的时速、发展及优点，展望该技术未来的发展情况。结合倒数第二段的“but doubts that this technology will gain widespread acceptance any time soon.(但他不确定这项技术是否会很快得到广泛接受)”和最后一段“What will win in the end, the brilliant future of the new technology or the cold mathematics (到底是新技术的辉煌未来还是冰冷的数学？)”可知，“磁悬浮列车有未来吗”可以作为本文的最佳标题。故选D项。

第二节 读后续写(满分25分)
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。
When my daughters reached the third and fourth grades, I sometimes allowed them to walk to and from school alone if the weather permitted. One warm spring day, a little dog followed them home after school. It had short legs and long lovely ears. It was the cutest dog I had ever seen and the girls begged me to keep it.
The dog was about twelve weeks old. It had no collar (项圈) or identifying marks of any sort. I didn’t know what to do. I thought about posting an advertisement but I really didn’t want to. It would break the kids’ hearts if someone should show up. Besides, its owners should have watched it more closely.
By the end of the week the dog was part of our family. It was very intelligent and good with the girls. The following week something told me to check the lost-and-found section in the local paper. One particular advertisement jumped out at me and my heart beat with fear for what I read. Someone was begging for the return of a lost dog in the neighborhood of our grade school. The owner sounded extremely eager. My hand shook, and I couldn’t bring myself to pick up the paper.
Instead, I pretended I hadn’t seen the advertisement. I quickly put paper away in the drawer and continued with my dusting. I never said a word about it to the kids or my husband.
By then we had named the dog. It was Kevin, so we called it Kevin. It followed the girls everywhere they went. When they went outside, it was one step behind them. When they did the housework, it was there to lend a hand.
There was only one problem with this seemingly perfect picture: my conscience (良心) was bothering me. I wondered in my heart whether I had to call that number in the paper and see if our Kevin was the dog they were desperately seeking. It was the most difficult thing for me to do.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右;

But I had to make a decision.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The woman said, “Where is my dog I would like to have a look at it.”
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
But I had to make a decision. With mixed feelings, I finally picked up my mobilephone. With butterflies in my stomach, I dialed the telephone number. Secretly, I prayed no one would answer, but someone did. The voice on the other end was that of a young woman. After describing the dog to her in detail, she immediately wanted to come over. I said that my daughters loved it very much and meanwhile apologized for not having contacted her a few days before. 30 minutes later, the bell rang and Kevin was barking. I opened the door, forcing myself to face the case.
The woman said, “Where is my dog I would like to have a look at it.” I asked the woman to come in and she quickly bent over and hugged Kevin tightly. Kevin started wagging its tail and barking excitedly as if it had recognized someone familiar. Surprised and excited, the woman told me that she couldn’t sleep well without it and thanked us for keeping her dog for these days. She offered to give me some cash as a reward, but I refused. After she took Kevin away, I cracked a smile. I knew I had done the right thing—that puppy should return to its original owner.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人狗为线索展开，讲述了作者的女儿捡到了大约十二周大的一只小狗，且小狗与家人们相处融洽。一则寻狗启示的广告突然出现在作者面前，作者很怕寻狗的主人找的就是他们捡到的小狗。作者的良心一直困扰着作者。作者从来没有对孩子们或丈夫说过这件事。作者在心里想，是否必须拨打报纸上的那个号码，看看他们的狗是否就是要寻找的狗。这个事情令作者犯难。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“但我必须做出决定”可知，第一段可描写作者打电话拨通了寻狗主人的电话并真实小狗就是失主的狗。30分钟后，门响起，小狗开始吠叫。作者不得不面对现实。
②由第二段首句内容“那个女人说：“我的狗在哪里？”可知，第二段可描写小狗见到原主人的反应，主人要感谢作者。作者感悟到自己做了正确的事情，即使小狗回到了原主人身边。
