If you are currently learning English, 1 highly recommend you check out the apps below.
Quizlet
When learning English, you probably have to memorize a lot of words. If you want to grow your vocabulary as fast as possible, a flashcard app like Quizlet is a great shortcut. With Quizlet, you can create a set of flashcards with new English words you are trying to learn, and practice typing them out until you know them by heart. It's a simple concept, but it's highly effective.
Spotify
Spotify is not a language learning app. But chances are that you already use it or a similar app for listening to music or podcasts(播客), and one of the effective ways to study is combining something you already use into your existing habits. If Spotify is already on your phone, you can subscribe to some podcasts for English learners or download playlists of songs for learning English, or make your own.
Beelinguapp
Beelinguapp makes reading in English as convenient as possible. It shows you a text in your own language with the English translation side-by-side. Texts are short enough so that you can really dig into every word. They cover topics from fairytales, to science, to current news articles. There's even a "karaoke" feature where you can read along to audio, which helps you match up the English pronunciation with the English spellings.
Tandem
Tandem is a language exchange app which connects learners from all over the world. It can help you find a native English speaker who is trying to learn your native language, so you can swap language skills. If you only have five minutes to spare, you can simply exchange messages with a native English speaker. If you have more time, you can have a longer, digital language exchange" by sharing voice notes, or using video chat. It's a great way to test your English skills out with real people.
1. What is Spotify intended to help people do
A. Develop a good habit. B. Listen to music or podcasts.

Holly my wife,cannot cook. She is capable of the process of cooking, but she cannot cook in the same way that an octopus (章鱼) cannot ride a bike.
One time, I walked into the kitchen to find Holly making toast. I generally feel safe eating toast that Holly has made because it boasts nothing but few steps. But this toast was a bit thin and tough.
“It’s a bit thin and tough,” I said. “What bread is this ”
“It’s the same bread we always have,” Holly said, pointing to the bag.
“Oh, my God!” I cried. “It has a best-by date of January 2009.”
“It was in the freezer,”Holly said. “The best-by date doesn’t count if the product is frozen.”
“But still there is a limit for frozen food,” I responded, holding up a slice of bread which felt like a stone.
“No, there isn’t,” she replied. “I once saw a show where scientists found a rare animal frozen in ice for millions of years. They melted it, cooked it, and ate it.”
“That is why it is called a show,” I cried.
“You never appreciate anything I do,” replied Holly.
“That’s not true,” I said. “I appreciate everything you do. You’re a beautiful, kind, thoughtful person. But if I ordered a hamburger at McDonald’s and they handed it to me, saying, ‘Sorry, it was a bit tough because the bread had been stored for nearly 10 years,’ I would assume there was something wrong with the restaurant staff.”
“It would probably be good with me” responded Holly, holding out her hands.“But you would never know whether the guy at McDonald’s spent an hour in the kitchen making it for you and burned his thumb on a pan.”
“Fine,” I sighed, raising it to my mouth. “I’ll taste it.” Taking the brown and yellow bread, I had a strong burning feeling like having a mouthful ofred ants. I swallowed with effort as my eyes began to water.
“Yes,” said Holly. “We were out of cream, so I used pepper from Sichuan, China instead.”
4. Why does the author feel safe cating toast made by his wilfe
A. Because his wife loves him. B. Becausc his wife once did it well.
C. Because his wife is good at cooking. D. Because the process of making toast is easy.
5. Holly insisted that the bread was eatable because ________.
A. once the bread was heated,it was safe
B. the bread was within the limit of the date
C. scientists once proved that outdated food is healthy
D. she thought that date limit didn’t work on frozen food
6. The toast Holly made was________.
A. brown but tasty B. hard and hot
C. soft and sweet D. thick and tough
7. What can we learn from the passage
A. Holly made great efforts in making toast.
B. Holly can neither ride a bike nor do any cooking.
C. The author was in a bad relationship with his wife.
D. Bread at MacDonald’s is generally stored for a long time.
C
When it comes to reading, we may be assuming that reading for knowledge is the best reason to pick up a book. Research, however, suggests that reading fiction may provide far more important benefits than nonfiction. It may be one of the best methods for building empathy (同理心), critical thinking and creativity.
High-level business leaders have long enthusiastically praised the virtues of reading. But they almost always recommend nonfiction. Reading nonfiction might certainly be valuable for collecting knowledge. However, research suggests that reading fiction predicts a sharper ability to understand other people’s motivations.
In addition, research suggests that reading literary fiction is an effective way to improve the brain’s ability to keep an open mind while processing information, a necessary skill for effective decision-making. In a 2013 study, researchers examined something called the need for cognitive closure (认知闭合), or the desire to “reach a quick conclusion in decision-making and an aversion to uncertainty and confusion”. Individuals with a strong need for cognitive closure rely heavily on “early information hints”, meaning they struggle to change their minds as new information becomes available. A high need for cognitive closure also means individuals are attracted to smaller bits of information and fewer viewpoints. Individuals who resist the need for cognitive closure tend to be more thoughtful, more creative, and more comfortable with competing narratives — all characteristics of high emotional intelligence.
University of Toronto researchers discovered that individuals in their study who read short stories (as opposed to essays) demonstrated a lower need for cognitive closure. That result is not surprising given that reading literature requires us to slow down, take in volumes of information, and then change our minds as we read. There’s no easy answer in literature. Instead, there’s only perspective-taking. As readers, we’ll almost certainly find Lolita’s narrator Humbert Humbert hateful, but we are forced to experience how he thinks, a valuable exercise for decreasing our need for cognitive closure.
8. What does the second paragraph suggest about reading fiction
A. It can’t help us to keep motivated. B. It helps us to gather knowledge.
C. It helps us to improve reading skills. D. It helps us to better understand others.
9. What is the most possible meaning of the underlined word in paragraph 3
A. Amazement. B. Desire. C. Dislike. D. Need.
10. What do we know about people with a high need for cognitive closure
A. They are unwilling to accept new things.
B. They rely a little on the help of others.
C. They are happy to accept new knowledge.
D. They are in no hurry to draw conclusions.
11. What is the advantage of reading fiction according to the text
A. It can hardly change our mind.
B. It can improve emotional intelligence.
C. It can increase the need for cognitive closure.
D. It can add the ability of literature appreciation.
D
Voluntourism is a type of tourism in which travellers participate in volunteer work, usually for a charity or a non-profit, Most often, voluntourists travel for the specific purpose of volunteering in an organized way for specific causes, but others simply include volunteer aspects to a traditional vacation experience.
Much like sustainable tourism as a whole, the legitimacy (合法性) or success of a voluntourism program depends highly on how it is managed. When done the right way, it can help communities grow and truly provide benefits to a specific cause. But it’s up to the individual volunteer, too, who has the added responsibility of staying informed and setting their destinations up for success. Ken Budd, author of the award-winning memoir The Voluntourist, says that countless organizations around the world create lasting results. The writer, who volunteered in at least six countries, speaks for it, such as teaching English in a Costa Rican elementary school that relied on volunteers when they couldn’t afford teachers.
However, not all voluntourism programs are helping. A reporter for The New York Times wrote in 2016 about their experience with a group of people building a school in Haiti: “These people knew nothing about how to construct a building. Collectively they had spent thousands of dollars to fly here to do a job that Haitian bricklayers could have done far more quickly. Imagine how many classrooms might have been built if they had donated that money rather than spending it to fly down themselves. Perhaps those Haitian bricklayers could have found weeks of employment instead of out of a job, at least for several days.”
If an organization can get free labor from an unskilled volunteer, they’re not spending money hiring locals to do the same work for a fee. In a poverty-stricken economy where residents are already struggling to find jobs, funds that go towards digging a well or building a school will have more of an impact if they stay within the local economy. Taking work from locals can prevent developing communities from self-establishment. Not to mention, volunteers who are untrained in whatever service they are providing can sometimes actually end up holding back progress.
12. How does the author introduce the topic “voluntourism”
A. By explaining its origin. B. By presenting its concept.
C. By discussing its classification. D. By sorting out its causes.
13. What helps guarantee the success of a voluntourism program according to the passage
A. The purpose and legitimacy of a program.
B. Participants’ previous voluntary experience.
C. The degree of involvement of each volunteer.
D. Proper control of the program and responsible volunteers.
14. What is the third paragraph mainly about
A. Voluntourists’ donations to their destinations.
B. The enthusiasm of people for rebuilding Haiti.
C. The invisible problem brought by voluntourists.
D. Voluntourists’ determination to make contributions.
15. What’s the author’s attitude to voluntourism
A. Objective. B. Indifferent, C. Favorable. D. Disapproving.

Imagine a friend has just asked how you’re feeling. You’re clearly upset but unable to express how you really feel. It’s incredibly difficult to understand how you feel and why. Yet, research shows that understanding your own emotions is essential to maintaining good mental health. ____16____ But it gets easier with practice.
Practice daily self-reflection
Self-reflection develops emotional awareness and is key to understanding why you feel the way you do. Activities such as journaling can be really beneficial in leaning about your thought processes. Free-writing, where you write out everything that’s on your mind without judgement, can be used to explore deeper into your thoughts and feelings. Think of it like getting into a car and just driving. ____17____
Turn to mindfulness
____18____ There are many ways to be mindful, from practising breathwork to sitting in silence Where emotional awareness is concerned, meditation (冥想), which can aid clarity, is recommended. Doing this regularly allows you to be more aware of the source of your emotions. Moreover, it enables you to come up with ways to manage them more effectively.
____19____
Sometimes what you really struggle with is putting your emotions into words. It can be difficult to feel heard by others if you don’t have the language. Try consulting The Emotion Wheel, developed by Dr Robert Plutchick in 1980. ____20____ It gives you a specific name for what you’re feeling, which is an excellent starting point for working through it.
Reflecting on the messy and difficult emotions you can not only find relief from those uncomfortable feelings but bring more joy and fulfillment into your lives too.
A. Name what you’re feeling.
B. Mask your real emotions.
C. Go ahead and get it all out on paper

47. 阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
Mitzvah
Mitzvah is a word my grandmother often said to me since my childhood. It’s a Hebrew word that means “to do a good deed”. But according to my grandmother, it also had another meaning. This was the one she was always pointing out to me because she’d noticed how shy I was about letting people do things for me. “Linda, it’s a blessing to do a mitzvah for someone else, but sometimes it’s a blessing to let another person do something for you.” I never really understood what she meant until recently.
It was three months ago, and I'd just moved into an apartment for college in Brooklyn, New York, Several of my friends had offered to help me settle in after the moving men left, but I'd said I could manage. Letting them help did not fit my image of myself as a capable and independent woman of 21.
As December arrived, getting to school became more difficult. One day, snowflakes had been falling past my window for several hours when it came time to leave for class. I put on two sweaters, a coat, a wool hat and boots making for the bus stop. In this December storm it was a hard journey. As I tied around my neck the blue scarf that Grandma had knitted(编织) for me, I could almost hear her voice: “Why don't you see if you can find a lift ” A thousand reasons came into my mind: I don't know my neighbours; I feel funny asking for favours. Pride(自尊心) would not let me ask even though I came across three neighbours at the door of the apartment building. One of them was the woman living upstairs, and in her hand there was an obvious car key.
Result An hour of waiting in the bitter cold before the bus finally arrived, followed by another half-hou journey. When I sneaked into the classroom, the class was almost over. If only I had taken the chance and asked for help! It would have been a 10-minute ride by car, Grandma would be shaking her head at my stubbornness(固执).
注意:
1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右;
2.续写部分分为两段,每段的开头语已为你写好。
Paragraph 1:
On the day of my final exam, I again walked to the bus stop through heavy snow.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
As I pushed open the door of my apartment building, I found myself face to face with the woman from upstairs.

【46题答案】
【答案】Dear Sir or Madam,
Knowing that the school English newspaper is looking for an editor responsible for the column “Traditional Chinese Culture”, I’m writing to apply for the position.
I think I’m qualified for it. To begin with, I have a good command of English, especially written English. Besides, I have taken the part-time job as an English editor, from which I have gained relevant experience. More importantly, I have a rich knowledge of traditional Chinese culture.
I would really appreciate it if I could be given the precious chance. I’m looking forward to your reply.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hui

【47题答案】
【答案】Paragraph 1:
On the day of my final exam, I again walked to the bus stop through heavy snow. For an hour, I stretched my neck, praying desperately that a bus would come. Then I gave up. The wind at my back pushed me toward home, and I prayed, “how can I get to school What should I do ” As I pulled Grandma’s scarf more tightly around my neck, again I seemed to hear that whisper: Ask someone for a lift! It could be a mitzvah. That idea had never really made sense to me. And even if I wanted to ask someone for a good deed, which I did not, there wasn’t a soul on the street.
Paragraph 2:
As I pushed open the door of my apartment building, I found myself face to face with the woman from upstairs. She was going out with a set of keys in her hand. In that split second, desperation overcame pride. I blurted, “Could you possibly give me a lift ” I hurriedly explained, “I’ve been waiting for the bus for ages, and I don’t want to miss my final exam.” Her expression softened with understanding, “Of course, I’ll give you a lift.” Heaving a sigh of relief, I couldn’t help but marvel at how a simple act of asking for help had changed everything. It was at that moment that I finally understood what “Mitzvah” really meant.
