Four Top Audiobook (有声读物) Apps
Scribd
If you’re looking to combine your audiobook listening with e-books and news publications, Scribd might be the app for you. Its massive library includes a healthy balance of traditionally published books, bestsellers, and Scribd originals. Scribd also runs an associated program, which gives you one free month for every friend you invite, and gives your friend a two-month trial. If you're a writer, Scribd also has an open publishing platform to help you self-publish your audiobooks in minutes.
Kobo Books
Best known as an e-book retailer, Kobo Books also offers audiobooks on its platform. You get unlimited access to over 100,000 audiobooks in its library for only a few dollars. The app also does a good job organizing your purchased books, and its in-app statistics are brilliant for readers, knowing your reading habits in detail, while suggesting new recommended titles based on your history.
eStories
With over 120,000 different types of audiobooks to choose from, eStories starts off with a half-price offer for your first 3 months, and then switches to a higher-priced subscription. Members get discounted prices on additional audiobooks as well as other benefits such as extra credits and extended periods of use. As a member, you also get 30 days to return a book if you don’t like it. Additionally, the app provides unlimited storage for your own audio that you can upload.
Libby
Libby lets you borrow e-books and audiobooks from your local library. A library membership lets you access several thousand audiobooks on its app entirely free of cost. While the availability of titles depends on the library you're a member of, you’d still be getting free access to a lot of books that you’d otherwise have to pay for. The catch is that since you're technically borrowing the books, you only have two weeks to get through them before they're returned. Plus, it must be noted that this app is only operational in North America.

As the founder of Code Blue CPR, Sullivan dedicates himself to teaching the vital skills of CPR and using defibrillator (除颤器), both at home and globally. Earlier this year, the old man set out on an inspiring journey to the Himalayas, where he installed (安装) what he proudly calls the world’s highest defibrillator. In the challenging environment of Qomolangma, where climbers face numerous risks, the timely use of a defibrillator can significantly boost survival rates from cardiac arrest (心搏骤停), increasing the chances from 8% to over 50% within the first three minutes.
To ensure the defibrillator was fully operational, Sullivan climbed to an impressive altitude of over 18,000 feet before descending to a nearby village at around 17,000 feet for the installation. He returned from this incredible adventure on April 30th and was thrilled to learn just weeks later that the device had successfully saved a 30-year-old French woman who had suffered a cardiac arrest.
“It was the proudest moment of my life when I learned what had happened,” said Sullivan. A Sherpa (夏尔巴人) informed him of the successful use of the defibrillator. He hopes it will inspire others to understand the importance of having access to such lifesaving equipment.
During his time in Nepal, Sullivan also took the opportunity to share his knowledge of CPR and defibrillator training with local villagers, many of whom had never received such instruction before. Now back in the UK, he is busy preparing to present a training initiative to the government aimed at equipping 1.2 million children across London with essential CPR skills.
Sullivan conceives a future where every school is equipped with a defibrillator and where every student, teacher, and staff member is trained to save lives. He emphasized the need for widespread training. He gave an example: Once, around 30 people watching nearby couldn’t help a person in cardiac arrest because they lacked the necessary knowledge.
24．Why did Sullivan install the defibrillator in the Himalayas
A．To advertise his new defibrillator.
B．To lift climbers’ survival chances.
C．To promote his CPR training company.
D．To test the device in extreme conditions.
25．What did the author want to show by mentioning the French woman’s survival
A．Sullivan’s effort paid off. B．Climbing mountains was risky.
C．There were too few defibrillators. D．Sullivan’s journey was adventurous.
26．What did Sullivan do when staying at Nepal
A．He presented a training initiative.
B．He inspired people to extend CPR.
C．He provided CPR training for locals.
D．He installed defibrillators across the country.
27．What does the underlined word “conceives” mean in the last paragraph
A．Imagines. B．Announces. C．Witnesses. D．Doubts.
C
Born between the mid-1990s and early 2010s, Gen Z is often labelled as “digital natives”. Therefore, it may come as a surprise that Gen Z is turning away from screens and heading outdoors. From forest bathing to camping trips, more young adults are embracing nature as part of their lives.
Digital burnout is driving change. Gen Z spends more time online than any other generation, with daily screen time averaging 6-9 hours. According to a recent survey by Pew Research Centre, over 60% of Gen Z respondents reported feeling overwhelmed by the pressures of staying digitally connected. Therefore, nature offers an escape. For Gen Z, being outdoors isn't just leisure, it’s a form of essential self-care.
Ironically, the very platforms driving digital burnout are now fuelling nature engagement. Social media is not just part of the problem but it’s also part of the solution. Popular hashtags such as #Hiking, #Ice Bathing, #RunningClubs, and #VanLife have received billions of views online. Health and lifestyle influencers share experiences of these activities, reframing nature as desirable and reachable. Although access to nature is still limited by safety concerns, cost, and urban density, Gen Z is adapting as best as they can. From sharing equipment to joining outdoor clubs, they’re finding creative ways to reclaim public spaces.
Reconnecting with nature is also driven by environmental values. From eco-tourism to zero-waste hiking, Gen Z approaches outdoor time with purpose. Gen Z is reshaping global movements, using social media to spread climate advocacy and redefine sustainable living. This generation is embracing outdoor experiences that are low-cost, low-tech, and deeply fulfilling. Amongst all these activities, run clubs and social fitness events have exploded in popularity.
With a growing number of Gen Z passionate about spending time outdoors, it’s evident that many are turning to nature to restore balance, foster connection, and contribute to a healthier world.
28．What do the numbers in paragraph 2 show
A．Gen Z’s digital overexposure. B．Gen Z’s preference for screens.
C．The necessity of digital connection. D．The phenomenon of online addiction.
29．Which best describes social media’s role for Gen Z
A．Double-edged. B．Problem-causing.
C．Fun-oriented. D．Ever-changing.
30．What can be inferred from paragraph 4
A．Online platforms advocate eco-tourism.
B．Gen Z has strong environmental awareness.
C．Engaging in outdoor activities is challenging.
D．Social fitness events require high-end equipment.
31．What can be a suitable title for the text
A．From Clicks to Cliffs: The Call of the Wild
B．Beyond the Screen: The Truth of Outdoor Lives
C．Gen Z is Swapping Screen Time for Green Time
D．Social Media is Leading Gen Z to Outdoor Trips
D
Philosophers have a bad reputation for expressing themselves in a dry and boring way. The ideals for most philosophical writing are precision, clarity, and the sort of conceptual analysis that leaves no hair un-split.
There is nothing wrong with clarity, precision, and the like-but this isn’t the only way to do philosophy. Outside academic journals, abstract philosophical ideas are often expressed through literature, cinema, and song. There’s nothing that grabs attention like a good story, and there are some great philosophical stories that delight and engage, rather than putting the reader to sleep.
One of the great things about this is that, unlike formal philosophy, which tries to be very clear, stories don’t wear their meanings on their sleeve— they require interpretation, and often express conflicting ideas for the reader to wrestle with.
Consider what philosophers call the metaphysics (形而上学) of race—an area of philosophy that explores the question of whether or not race is real. There are three main positions that you can take on these questions. You might think that a person’s race is written in their genes (a position known as “biological realism”). Or you might think of race as socially real, like days of the week or currencies (“social constructionism”). Finally, you might think that races are unreal— that they’re more like leprechauns (一种魔法精灵) than they are like Thursdays or dollars (“anti-realism”).
A great example of a story taking on race is George S. Schuyler’s novel Black No More. In the book, a Black scientist named Crookman invents a procedure that makes Black people visually indistinguishable from Whites. Thousands of African Americans flock to Crookman’s Black No More clinics and pay him their hard-earned cash to undergo the procedure. White racists can no longer distinguish those people who are “really” White from those who merely appear to be White. In a final episode, Crookman discovers that new Whites are actually a whiter shade of pale than those who were born that way, which kicks off a trend of sunbathing to darken one’s skin— darkening it so as to look more White.
Philosophically rich stories like this bring more technical works to life. They are stories to think with.
32．What is the impression formal philosophy leaves on people according to Paragraph 1
A．Dull. B．Engaging.
C．Thought-provoking. D．Depressing.
33．Which is the distinction of philosophical stories
A．They give precise conceptual analysis.
B．They interpret ideas formally and clearly.
C．They seldom express conflicting ideas.
D．They stimulate interest and critical thinking.
34．Which category might “Black No More” in Paragraph 5 fall into
A．Racial issues caused by skin colors.
B．A society view on race and self-image.
C．Black people accepted by the white society.
D．The origin of sunbathing among white people.
35．What is the best title for the text
A．Stories Made Easy B．Positions in Philosophy
C．Stories to Think with D．Nature of Philosophical Writing

The Secret to Taking Great Notes
Taking good notes is a key part of the learning process. However, merely writing down what you hear word-for-word is ineffective. Here are some proven strategies to transform your note-taking.
One of the most popular and structured systems is the Cornell Method, developed for and widely taught at Cornell University. 36 This physical layout guides your thinking process. During class, take notes in the main section. After class, use the cue column to write keywords or questions. Finally, write a brief summary of the entire lesson at the bottom of the page. This multi-step process is scientifically proven to significantly improve long-term memory retention.
For those who think in images and connections, Mind Mapping is a visual way to organize information. Start with the main topic in the center and draw branches out for key subtopics. 37 You can use colors, symbols, and arrows to make connections. This method is especially beneficial for visual learners as it shows the relationships between concepts, making complex topics easier to grasp.
Regardless of the method you choose, the core principle is active engagement. Don’t just passively record information. 38 Engage with the material by paraphrasing the speaker’s points. This forces you to process and understand the information on the spot.
Of course, the best method is the one that works for you. 39 You might use the Cornell Method for history lectures, which are dense with facts, but a Mind Map for brainstorming an essay topic. You might even combine different elements from various methods to create your own personalized system.
40 Review your notes periodically within 24 hours of taking them. This short, spaced repetition is one of the most powerful ways to move information from your short-term to your long-term memory, solidifying your learning and making exam preparation much less stressful.
A．Then, add smaller branches for specific details.
B．Therefore, it is popular among university students.
C．Ultimately, it’s crucial to review your notes afterward.
D．Experiment with different techniques to find your favorite.
E．This means you can paraphrase the content in your own words.
F．Instead, focus on summarizing the main idea in simple elegant words.
G．It divides your paper into a cue column, a notes section, and a summary area.

We 43 everywhere for the spring, but in vain. Jack’s face turned red with 44 as the shopkeeper walked over. “I’m sorry, but you’ll have to pay for the 45 pen,” she said. Jack paid for it reluctantly. Just then, his eyes landed on a shiny star-patterned pen in the showcase—one he’d been 46 for. “But I don’t have enough left,” he muttered sadly.
“Tim, would you like to lend me the money I’ll pay you back next week, I promise” he begged. I nodded and 47 the cost for him.

Increase your productivity. This is 56 AI tools attract its users. However, despite hopes that the technology will improve the 57 (efficient) of work, not everyone is on board.
According to BBC, 59 percent of men aged 18 to 65 around the world use generative AI at least once a week, compared 58 51 percent of women. The gender gap is even 59 (wide) among younger people; 71 percent of men and 59 percent of women aged 18 to 24 use generative AI weekly. Why are women less open to AI than men
According to AI expert Jodie Cook, this gap reflects the underrepresentation of women in STEM fields (science, technology, engineering and mathematics). “For ages, STEM fields 60 (lead) by males. The current pattern in the use of AI tools appears 61 (mirror) this difference,” Cook told the BBC．
Certain patterns in female thinking might also play 62 role. In a survey of 486 students, 63 (divide) by academic performance, researchers found that high-performing female students were more likely to use ChatGPT only when it had been allowed by their professor. “It’s the idea that I have to do it on my own without 64 (take) shortcuts,” Cook explained.
For some experts, women’s reluctance (不情愿) to use AI is troubling, as it could lead to technology being designed more for men. Others, however, are less alarmed, pointing out that AI may right now act more as a “digital toy”, and women may 65 (simple) be better at avoiding distractions.

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。
Mark’s hometown is a quiet little place in the countryside, with a beautiful river flowing gently through its center. When he was a kid, this river was always crystal-clear —its surface shone like countless small pieces of silver under the warm sun, and groups of colorful small fish swam freely in the shallow, cool waters. It was undoubtedly Mark’s favorite spot in the whole town; every weekend, he’d gather his closest friends, grab their old fishing poles, and sit on the smooth, round stones by the grassy bank, chatting loudly about their daily lives and patiently waiting for fish to bite.
Last year, Mark left for another city to go to high school. He missed his peaceful hometown a lot, especially the beloved river that held so many of his childhood memories. During the long summer holiday, he packed his bags in excitement and couldn’t wait to come back home.
But when Mark arrived at the river that sunny afternoon, he was completely shocked. The clear, lively river he remembered so well was gone. The water wasn’t transparent and clean anymore, and the once tidy bank was full of dirty trash. He stood there, frozen, staring at the terrible scene, and could hardly believe his own eyes. The happy, laughter-filled memories of fishing with friends suddenly felt so far away, as if they belonged to another world.
He slowly walked closer and saw more heartbreaking sights: plastic bottles, worn paper food wrappers, and knotted, dirty fishing lines were everywhere. Some empty bait tins (鱼饵罐) even floated lazily in the water. The river water looked dark and cloudy, losing all its former brightness, and when a light wind blew, it gave off an unpleasant smell that made Mark frown deeply.
Mark felt a strong wave of heavy sadness welling up in his heart. He kept thinking about how clean, clear and lively the river used to be in his childhood, and how it had given him so many joyful, unforgettable days with his friends.

My Views on Weekend Break
Recently, we have been discussing a heated topic: Weekend Break: Friday or Saturday
In my opinion, starting the weekend break on Friday after school is better. First, it gives students a longer rest period, helping them relax and recharge fully. After a busy week, an early break reduces stress and improves productivity. Second, it allows more time for hobbies or family activities, promoting a better work life balance.
However, some may prefer Saturday to ensure all schoolwork is finished. But with good time management, Friday’s early start offers greater benefits. In short, a longer break leads to a happier, healthier student life!
One possible version:
My Views On Weekend Break
Recently, we have been discussing a heated topic: one-day weekends or two-day weekends As a student, I strongly support the two-day weekend over the one-day weekend.
First, a two-day break gives us more time to relax and recover from a busy school week, helping us feel refreshed. Second, it allows us to spend quality time with family and friends, which makes us happier. Finally, having two days off improves our energy and focus, making us more productive when we return to school. A one-day weekend is too short and leaves us tired.
Therefore, I believe a two-day weekend is better for balancing school and life.

He knew he couldn’t just walk away and let it stay this way. Mark rolled up his sleeves determinedly. First, he picked up all the visible trash along the bank, filling several large garbage bags. He then used a long stick to fish out the floating items in the water. As he worked, some local kids noticed what he was doing and came over to help. Encouraged by their enthusiasm, Mark explained the importance of keeping the river clean. Together, they made a plan to clean the river regularly.
The river looked much better, but Mark didn’t stop there. He decided to raise awareness about environmental protection in the whole town. He organized a community meeting, showing pictures of the river’s past and present. People were shocked and realized their mistakes. With everyone’s support, Mark started a campaign to plant trees along the riverbank and set up signs to remind people not to litter. Slowly but surely, the river began to regain its former beauty, and Mark’s childhood paradise was coming back to life.

W: That’s where all the dancing and sports events will take place. This area is for families. I’ve saved us this spot on the grass here.

M: Hello, everyone. We are lucky to have Molly Taylor here today. Molly is organizing an activity course for the summer holidays. Molly, this is the second year of the course, isn’t it
W: Yes. The summer course operated for the first time last year for a six-week period. We did think about making it longer this year and have a seven-week course, as there’re some schools which finish term a week earlier. In fact, two schools have eight-week holidays. But in the end we decided to keep to the same plan as last year.
M: But, as I understand, last year’s course wasn’t a complete success, was it
W: Well, we were actually very surprised by the number of people interested in the course. We didn’t actually have enough assistants to look after all the children. Besides, there was such a lot of rain that we couldn’t go outside as often as we wanted to.
M: So, what activities can the children look forward to this year
W: Well, once again there’ll be artists and musicians who will lead creative classes. We also considered providing some more exciting adventure sports. But we decided not to, in the end. Instead we’re introducing some fun programmes. I think it’ll be good fun for the children.

W: Hello. Welcome to our computer class for beginners. Typing skills are required for this course. In a moment you’ll begin typing the text I’ve placed on the stand next to each keyboard. First, however, I’d like you to look at the screen in front of you. There are no words on it, but it does contain two important objects, the end mark and the action point. You’ll be learning more about these later. Right now, please place your fingers on the keyboard and prepare to use it as if you were a typewriter. For example, to type capital letters, hold down the shift key. Don’t stop typing at the end of a line. When you type a word that is too long to fit at the end of the current line, the computer will automatically move the word to the beginning of the next line. If you make a mistake while typing the text, you can correct it by using the backspace key. Now please prepare to begin typing.
