A
If you’re one of those people who like to use apps to kill time, you’re not alone. Here are some apps for you to try out and have fun.
Duolingo
Learning a foreign language doesn’t always mean you have to sit in a class and take endless exams. An app named Duolingo has been designed to help you memorize new words and grammar in creative ways, such as online lessons, games, and interesting exercises. For example, you can practice what you’ve learned by working on translations of real-world texts from other websites. Other Duolingo users can then rate these translations and pick out the best one.
Douban FM
There is no playlist on Douban FM—songs just keep playing one by one. You can use the “heart” “trash” and “skip” buttons to mark the songs you like, don’t like and want to cut short, respectively (分别地). Those marked with a heart will be stored in another list as your favorites for you to tune in to anytime you want.
Flipboard
It is one of the hottest news apps right now. As US TV host Oprah Winfrey explained, with Flipboard, “you can find fresh ideas about living your best life, flip (翻动) through photos, discover a recipe to make tonight, get expert advice, and be inspired by quote collections.”
That might not sound much different from a regular magazine or newspaper. But the difference with Flipboard is that you can make everything personal to you. All you have to do is open up the app, “flip through” to select whatever interests you, and click the “+” button.
At the end you’ll have your own magazine, complete with a front page, news articles, and information.
21. What is Duolingo mainly used for
A. Playing online games. B. Body-building exercises.
C. Learning foreign languages. D. Pr cticing translation skills.
22. What kind of songs does the “trash” button refer to
A. Songs you like. B. Songs you dislike.
C. Songs you want to cut short. D. Songs you want to keep in the list.
23. In what way is Flipboard different from a regular magazine or newspaper
A. It provides fresh ideas. B. It helps discover a good recipe.
C. Users can get expert advice from it. D. Users can make a personal magazine with it.
B
As you read this, pause to reflect on your recent interactions. As a politician, husband, and father, I encounter various spoken language styles: analytical or chatty formal or informal, pointed or gentle, cooperative or decisive. Talk is the currency of politics. It is our way of negotiating, debating, and persuading. Talk is also the currency of learning—how we develop our ideas, deepen our thinking and share our feelings.
That’s why I want speaking skills, sometimes called “oracy”, to play an important part in Labor’s plans for a reformed school. curriculum (课程).
Employers value speaking skills equally with reading and writing. The ability to speak well and express yourself should be something every child should master. But the curriculum doesn’t allow us to provide this. This is short-sighted. An inability to express your thoughts fluently is a key barrier to getting on and doing well in life.
Oracy is in part about good public speaking and debating skills, but in reality, it’s about teaching young people to make strong arguments, choose wise words, understand their audience, form meaningful social connections, and use facial expressions and body language to convey their message. Above all else it’s about finding your voice. To work out who you are and what you believe. If reading opens up a world of imagination and possibility, then speaking and listening opens up a lifetime of empowerment-a chance for those who feel invisible in their own country to be beard. It is about the confidence to speak out, to call out injustice or harm.
And the other side of speaking is listening, which can also be taught. Listening, truly listening, develops tolerance and understanding. And as parents we can play our part. We’ve all been there, at mealtimes, silent as we all stare at our devices. Our job, all of ours, is to get off our screens and give young people, and adults, the gift of listening.
So, oracy—speaking and listening-needs to be placed firmly at the heart of school life.
24. How does talk help a politician
A. It strengthens persuasive power. B. It enhances his analytical skills.
C. It deepens his wishful thinking. D. It provides emotional support.
25. Why does the author suggest a reform in the British school curriculum
A. Employers underestimate the value of speaking.
B. Academic pressure makes students poor-sighted.
C. Spoken language is regarded as least important.
D. Oracy should deserve more attention at school.
26. How does the author illustrate his argument in paragraph 4
A. By sharing different opinions. B. By clarifying the definition
C. By describing personal experiences. D. By employing the concept.
27. What are parents advised to do
A. Set a good example for their children. B. Balance screen time and mealtime.
C. Have oral face-to-face communication D. Disconnect from the virtual world.
C
A recent research study suggests that learning music doesn’t make you smarter.
For a while, a popular belief on the Internet and in various magazines once claimed that babies could become smarter if they listened to Mozart, or to other classical music. Inspired by this, some parents bought classical CDs for their babies in the hope that this would boost their intelligence. However, this so-called “Mozart Effect” has been challenged repeatedly
But is taking music lessons surely different from just listening to music Wouldn’t taking music lessons make kids smarter That’s exactly the question that many researchers over the years have tried to answer. Some of their studies concluded that it does, and some found that it doesn’t. For example, one study showed that music education did not improve reading skills, while another one found a small effect of music on young children’s ability to learn words.
The researchers of the new study, Giovanni Sala (Fujita Health University) and Fernand Gobet (London School of Economics), looked at the data behind 54 carefully selected studies, and after carefully comparing the data from different papers, they concluded that children who took music lessons did not score higher on tests that measure their intelligence or academic ability than kids that didn’t learn music.
If music doesn’t make you smarter, how does that explain other research that shows that music lessons help students’ school performance It seems like there is something about music lessons that makes students able to perform better in their other classes. That doesn’t have to be intelligence and it’s likely not. Music lessons could have helped in different ways: They could have led to a change in homework habits, they could have increased confidence, or they could have improved social skills. And finally, they also mention that music education could still be very beneficial to students’ performance in non-music subjects if music is combined with these classes. So feel free to keep making music, and keep encouraging children to learn music.
28. What can we learn about the “Mozart Effect”
A. It is most likely to be ineffective.
B. It was first presented by Mozart.
C. It helps parents take good care of their children.
D. It will draw more and more researchers’ attention.
29. What does the example in Paragraph 3 show
A. Listening to music benefits kids a lot.
B. Whether music education suits all kids remains unknown.
C. Listening to music fails to help kids with language learning.
D. Whether taking music lessons makes kids smarter is debatable.
30. How did the researchers carry out the new study
A. They made 54 small studies in all.
B. They observed children in music classes.
C. They examined plenty of previous research.
D. They did a long-term survey of musical students.
31. What conclusion is made in the last paragraph
A. Intelligence determines one’s school performance.
B. Music lessons should be encouraged for children.
C. A student’s intelligence can be increased with effort.
D. Students should avoid listening to music while studying.
D
When teens feel safe, supported by and connected to parents, they are better equipped to pass the empathy (同情) they receive on to others, according to a new study.
The study, led by Jessica Stem from the University of Virginia, followed 174 teens from the ages of 14 to 18 to track their progress annually. At age 14, the teens were interviewed by researchers and encouraged to share descriptions and stories about their families. Researchers paid attention not only to what the teens said, but also how they expressed it. “Can teens talk about their close relationships in a way that’s calm and clear Can they take a situation that’s maybe difficult and make sense out of it ” Stern said.
After these initial interviews, researchers went back to the participants at ages 16, 17 and 18 and observed their interactions with a close friend. The researchers noted how the participants responded when their friend presented a problem and confided in them, assessing the participants’ extension of empathy.
Teens who had more secure family relationships showed higher empathy toward their friends at ages 16 and 17 than less secure teens. It’s not all bad news, though, because the less secure teens “caught up” in their empathic behavior by age 18, to Stern’s surprise. This is cause for hope, she said, because it may indicate that those empathic skills can develop over time for teens who don’t have great relationships at home. Stern suggested that having strong friendships or a trusted teacher might make an impact on insecure teens’ empathy.
Since the research focused on averages across the study sample, an examination of individual differences between participants is necessary, said Mary Buckingham, a research assistant professor who was not involved in the study. “The article does not show the individual differences that might exist within teens,” Buckingham said. “Future research should examine what specific experiences, for what youth, in what contexts, may lead to attachment and empathy links.”
32. What did researchers do during the initial interviews
A. They assessed the participants’ family relationships.
B. They analyzed the participants’ personality.
C. They measured the participants’ expression ability.
D. They evaluated the participants’ empathic skills.
33. What do the underlined words “confided in” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Relied strongly on. B. Spoke secretly to.
C. Kept an eye on. D. Lent a hand to:
34. What finding was beyond Stern’s expectations
A. Teens’ empathy began with secure relationships at home.
B. Friendships mattered for teens’ empathy development.
C. Insecure teens’ empathy might improve over time.
D. Teachers had little impact on teens’ empathy.
35. What did Buckingham point out concerning the study
A. Its application. B. Its significance.
C. Its reliability. D. Its limitation.

阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Parts of the Middle East are some of the 50 (hot) inhabited places on Earth. Temperatures in Abu Dhabi can climb to over 50℃. Air conditioning is seen as a (n) 57 (necessary), and people tend to spend a lot of time indoors.
But people here haven’t always had air conditioning, and an ancient Arabic architectural cooling technique has made a comeback.
Mashrabiya refers to the latticed (格子状的) screens often 58 (see) in Islamic architecture that keep buildings cool without 59 (complete) blocking light. They are designed 60 (encourage) a wind and offer a spot of relief from the heat within a building. The idea is essentially to stop direct sunlight 61 (land) on a building’s outside.
That’s 62 inspired the design of Al Bahar Towers, a 25 story building wrapped in more than 1,000 hexagonal (六边形的) shades with built-in 63 (sensor) that allow them to respond to the sun’s movements. When the sun hits the shades, they unfold like an umbrella to keep away from the heat. 64 these measures, the outside of such a building in Abu Dhabi could reach as high as 60℃.
So far the technique 65 (help) reduce the building’s need for air conditioning by 50%. Cool, huh

It all began when my younger brother, Chris, and I went over to Uncle Howard’s for Thanksgiving. When we finally got to my uncle’s. Chris and I went outside to see if Uncle Howard needed help with anything. Since Chris was only nine, he got the easier job of cleaning up the watering cans. I was twelve, old enough to help load the wheelbarrow (手推车). But we still found time to ask Uncle Howard a lot of questions about turkeys. He must have been impressed, because when we were finished, he winked at my dad and handed me one turkey egg.
“You kids put this under a hatching hen,” he said, “and in twenty-five days, you’ll have a line turkey!” Chris was so excited that he nearly dropped the egg on the way home. Dad put the egg under an old hen, and every day Chris and I would check to see if it had batched yet. Twenty-five days seemed like forever. Finally, on the twenty-sixth day, Chris and I walked into the coop (鸡舍) after school to find the old hen scratching on the floor. Behind her was one ball of fluff (绒毛), falling over its feet and looking sort of confusion. When it got older, we could tell that it was a tom. We named it Timothy.
Timothy grew and grew, dashing towards the feed we threw out. He liked to wander in the woods and find tasty berries and weed seeds. Mom kept telling us not to get too attached to Timothy, because we were going to have him for Thanksgiving. But we never paid too much attention to what that really meant.
Then, one day toward the end of October, Dad gave Chris and me instructions. “I want you to start giving him com (玉米) along with his regular feed,” he said. “We want a nice, thick -fleshed bird for Thanksgiving.” After Dad turned and walked away, Chris’s face began to wrinkle, just as it does before he starts to cry.
