Some people learn a foreign language because they want to communicate with the local people. Some other people are just curious about foreign cultures. Whatever your reason may be, the best foreign language software will certainly help you pick up the language in a few weeks. You will be able to speak fluently and understand the language clearly as well.
Tell Me More
This app is used in U. S. schools, and it is believed to be the best foreign language learning app all over the world. It offers instructions for learning Arabic, Chinese, Dutch, English, French, German, Italian, Japanese and Spanish. However, the app does not come cheap as it costs around $250.
Now Talk
If you are looking for a cheaper language learning app, then this is just the suitable choice for you. This app will cost you about $40, and even though it is not as useful as Tell Me More, it is still a very good app for the purpose. The disadvantages are that there is very little focus on grammar and there is a clear lack of interactive(互动性的)activities for users so it does not result in fluency.
Instant Immersion
This app provides learning materials for up to 33 different languages, and it is considered as the best app for learning Spanish as well. It will cost you about $30, and this is a very reasonable price for such a highly recommended language learning app. The learning courses are highly interactive, and the ever-present speech recognition feature ensures that you are getting the pronunciation right while speaking.
Kids Talk
This is a foreign language translation app that you can make use of, and it will cost you about $30. So, it is said that the level of performance will be similar to that of Now Talk. This app is designed more for the use of children for its interesting videos.

Can you imagine a sea of sand three times bigger than India This is the Sahara Desert. It covers 11 countries in North Africa and is over 9 million square kilometers in area. That’s more than 25% of Africa.
In the Sahara, temperatures are very different during the day and at night. During the day, the hottest time is between 2 p.m. and 4 p.m., when temperature rises to 33°C. But it is very cold at night —the coldest time is at 4 a.m., when temperatures fall to -1C. The Sahara is very dry. The average precipitation (降水) in a year is only 70 millimeters.
Because of the extreme temperatures in this desert, it is a very difficult place to survive. Marco Rivera has some tips.
Take warm clothes and a blanket. During the day, cover your body, head and face. Clothes protect you from the sun and keep water in your body. You will also need a warm blanket at night. It can get cold very quickly. When the temperature drops, it can be a shock and make you feel even colder.
You can use your car tires (轮胎) to make a fire. A fire is easy to see. It will help people find you and it will keep you warm at night.
Try to drink some water once every hour. You need your water to last as long as possible. Drink only what you need. When you talk, you lose water from your body. Keep your mouth closed and do not talk.
If you eat, you will get thirsty and drink all of your water more quickly. You can eat a little, but only to stop you from feeling very hungry. Eat very small amounts of food and eat very slowly. You can live for three weeks with no food, but you can only live for three days if there’s no water.
34. The writer starts the passage by _________.
A. telling stories B. listing numbers C. giving examples D. making a survey
35. According to Paragraph 2, which of the following is RIGHT
A. B. C. D.
36. If the writer continues the passage, he may talk about in the following paragraph.
A. how dangerous it is to walk across the Sahara Desert
B his own experience in surviving in the Sahara Desert
C. another tip on how to save water and food in the Sahara Desert
D. his good wishes for those who want to take a risk in the desert
37. The correct structure of the passage may be _________.
A. B.
C. D.
C
For writers in Western cultures, fall is a difficult season to describe. On one hand, it is the end of the summer, and therefore a little sad. The nights draw in, and when you wake in the morning, there’s fog and it’s cooler : Winter is coming.
American writer Ernest Hemingway wrote in his book A Moveable Feast: “You expected to be sad in the fall. Part of you died each year when the leaves fell from the trees and their branches were bare (光秃秃的) against the wind and the cold, wintry light. ”
On the other hand, fall has its good side. There are many changes in nature at this time of year, such as the reds and browns that the leaves change to, and the way they fall from the trees. French writer Albert Camus even thought fall was a second spring; “Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower. ” It’s a view you can also find in the most famous fall poem in English literature, To Autumn by John Keats. In that poem Keats says that fall has its songs just like spring.
Another fall theme is wisdom. The arrival of the season is thought to be similar to a person becoming mature . Their summer peak may have been and gone, but old age has not yet come. At this time it’s thought that people have learned a thing or two about life.
The great Irish poet W. B. Yeats takes up this theme in his poem The Wild Swans at Coole. Yeats puts together a picture for the reader out of the details of the changing seasons in Coole Park in the west of Ireland, a place he knew well. Seeing and counting 59 swans, he remembers first making the count 19 years ago. He wonders whether he can still love like the lover swans do.
Of course, many other themes and subject matters can play a part in the literature of fall. For example, it’s the beginning of a new term of the school year. As you would expect, fall is found in writing for children and young people. But fall writing usually focuses on the changes in nature that we see, which writers often use as a symbol for changes in human life.
38. ________ expressed the unhappy side of fall in his work.
A. Ernest Hemingway B. Albert Camus C. John Keats D. W. B. Yeats
39. The writer mentioned some famous writers and poets to ________.
A. give details about their works B. compare their books and poems
C. show the readers the beauty of autumn D. show different understanding of fall
40 The underlined word “mature” means ________ in paragraph 4.
A. thinking about life carefully B. having lived for long
C. fully grown and developed D. not growing any longer
41. What is the article mainly about
A. Changes in nature. B. Writers in Western cultures.
C. Autumn in literature. D. Wonders in the best season.

Hilary Smith belonged to a good family. But by the age of twenty, he had spent all the money the good old family had. He then had some trouble with the bank and was put in prison. He escaped from the prison and ran to Australia at once.
Hilary did not like Australia, and Australia did not like Hilary. What he could do seemed to be one of two things: die or work. Then he remembered that he was not alone in the world. He had an aunt.
She was his father’s only sister, but his father used to say she brought no glory (荣耀) to the family. Hilary, of course, tried to discover what she had done. It seemed that she had failed to marry a nobleman. Instead, she had chosen a husband who was connected with “trade”. Of course, as soon as she became “Mrs. Parks”, her brother considered her dead. Later on, Mr. Parks died and left her a lot of money. But that did not bring her back to life in her brother’s opinion.
Hilary discovered his aunt’s address. Luckily she remained faithful and loyal to him even after she fell ill. So Hilary’s star shone again, and soon he moved into her house and lived as comfortably as a sailor who had just reached harbor. He had only about a six-pence in his pocket.
One thing was soon clear: his aunt was seriously ill, and nothing could cure her illness. Hilary was very worried. Fate had found a home for him, and was now going to throw him out of it. There was only one thing that could save him: her will (遗嘱).
“Will ”she said, “yes, I have made one. That was when I was a girl and had not much money. I left all my money to some religious people. ”
“Didn’t you make another will when you were married ”Hilary asked.
His aunt shook her head. “No, ” she said in a low voice. “There was no need. When I finally had a lot of money I found I had no relations. ”
On the next day he went to the public library and examined a book of law. It told him what he already believed. When a woman is married, an earlier will loses its value. A new will must be made. If no new will is made, the money goes to the nearest relation. Hilary knew that he was his aunt’s only relation. His future was bright.
After a few months had passed, Hilary’s problems became serious. He badly needed money. He had expensive tastes, and owed a lot of money to shopkeepers. They believed in him because his aunt was rich, but the debt was terrible.
Unluckily his aunt did not want to discuss money matters at all. In the end they had a quarrel about the small amount often pounds. Hilary was not very angry. He began to wonder about a new problem. Was it kind to want his aunt to live any longer Was it not better for her to die now While he was considering what to do, his aunt told him that she was going to send for her lawyer. So she was going to make a new will, Hilary thought. She might leave all her money to someone else. Soon he reached a clear decision. He must do a great kindness to the poor old woman.
One night when the old servant who had been nursing his aunt went off, he doubled the amount of some medicine. The total amount was too great and it could just put her to sleep forever.
“Thank you, ”his aunt took the glass from his hand with a grateful look. “I want, more than anything, to sleep, and never to wake up again. Is that what you wish, Hilary Don’t blame (责怪) me if I have some doubts about what you intended to do. Sick people get these ideas, you know. One thing I ought to explain to you. Mr. Parks never married me. He already had a wife and couldn’t marry again. That made your foolish father very angry with me…Well, if I am alive tomorrow I shall make another will in your favor (赞成). If I die tonight, you’ll get nothing…. No, Hilary, don’t try to take the glass away. If you do that, I shall know, and I don’t want to know. Goodnight, Hilary. ”
Then, very carefully, she raised the glass to her mouth and drank.
42. From the story, we learn that Hilary’s aunt was ________.
A. careless about money B. rude to her nephew
C. not easy to get along with D. kind-hearted and wise
43. Why did Hilary’s father consider his aunt dead
A. Because he thought she was a shame to the family.
B. Because she broke away from the family for a better life.
C. Because they lost touch with each other after her marriage.
D. Because she married a businessman with a wife against his will.

A. decided to call in a lawyer for his aunt
B. made a decision to put his aunt's life to an end
C. made up his mind to take good care of his aunt
D. would help his aunt to donate money to religious people

六、 阅读与回答问题(本题共5小题；每小题2分, 满分10分)
请认真阅读下面短文，并根据短文内容回答问题。
Sophie, a 14-year-old British girl, suddenly changed her behavior in class. She lost interest in studies and would sit in the corner with her head mostly down.
Ethan Miller, one of Sophie’s teachers, discovered that she was bullied (欺凌) online. Sophie was receiving abusive (辱骂) messages on her phone and on Faccbook. Miller shared Sophie’s story on the official website of The Children’s Society, a children’s charity in the UK.
Sophie was not alone. One in three young people, in 30 countries, said they have experienced online bullying. Twenty percent of those bullied students were not willing to go to school because of it, according to a report in September. The study surveyed more than 170, 000 young people aged 13—24 from countries in Europe, Asia, Africa and South America. Seventy-five percent of them said that the most common online bullying cases happened on social media, like Faccbook and Twiter. The growth of social media has left many young people hurt through unfriendly and abusive messages, comments and pictures online.
The Internet world makes it easier for people to communicate with each other, but there is more danger for young people as well —and it is surprising that online bullying troubles many young people more than anything else. What’s more, online bullying could lead to serious results for young people. Such bullying makes young people more than twice as likely to hurt themselves or even kill themselves, according to a 2018 study by the university of Oxford, UK. The research also found that young people facing online bullying were not as likely to ask for help as those bullied by traditional ways.
To deal with the problem, UNICEF has called for national helplines to support people who are bullied, along with training for teachers and parents to prevent and deal with online bullying.
Here is some advice to keep yourself away from danger on the Internet.
● Make sure that you’re careful and respectful to others, even if you don’t share similar opinions, values or beliefs.
● If you experience online bullying, the best response (回应) to a bully is no response at all.
● Keep a record of anything that shows proof (证据) of online bullying like screenshots. You can use this to report and stop them.
71. Why did Sophie suddenly change her behavior
________________________________
72. According to the survey, where do they most probably meet online bullying

73. How does online bullying hurt young people

74. What is the best response to a bully

Can you imagine a sea of sand three times bigger than India This is the Sahara Desert. It covers 11 countries in North Africa and is over 9 million square kilometers in area. That’s more than 25% of Africa.
In the Sahara, temperatures are very different during the day and at night. During the day, the hottest time is between 2 p.m. and 4 p.m., when temperature rises to 33°C. But it is very cold at night —the coldest time is at 4 a.m., when temperatures fall to -1C. The Sahara is very dry. The average precipitation (降水) in a year is only 70 millimeters.
Because of the extreme temperatures in this desert, it is a very difficult place to survive. Marco Rivera has some tips.
Take warm clothes and a blanket. During the day, cover your body, head and face. Clothes protect you from the sun and keep water in your body. You will also need a warm blanket at night. It can get cold very quickly. When the temperature drops, it can be a shock and make you feel even colder.
You can use your car tires (轮胎) to make a fire. A fire is easy to see. It will help people find you and it will keep you warm at night.
Try to drink some water once every hour. You need your water to last as long as possible. Drink only what you need. When you talk, you lose water from your body. Keep your mouth closed and do not talk.
If you eat, you will get thirsty and drink all of your water more quickly. You can eat a little, but only to stop you from feeling very hungry. Eat very small amounts of food and eat very slowly. You can live for three weeks with no food, but you can only live for three days if there’s no water.

A. telling stories B. listing numbers C. giving examples D. making a survey

C. another tip on how to save water and food in the Sahara Desert

C
For writers in Western cultures, fall is a difficult season to describe. On one hand, it is the end of the summer, and therefore a little sad. The nights draw in, and when you wake in the morning, there’s fog and it’s cooler : Winter is coming.
American writer Ernest Hemingway wrote in his book A Moveable Feast: “You expected to be sad in the fall. Part of you died each year when the leaves fell from the trees and their branches were bare (光秃秃的) against the wind and the cold, wintry light. ”
On the other hand, fall has its good side. There are many changes in nature at this time of year, such as the reds and browns that the leaves change to, and the way they fall from the trees. French writer Albert Camus even thought fall was a second spring; “Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower. ” It’s a view you can also find in the most famous fall poem in English literature, To Autumn by John Keats. In that poem Keats says that fall has its songs just like spring.
Another fall theme is wisdom. The arrival of the season is thought to be similar to a person becoming mature . Their summer peak may have been and gone, but old age has not yet come. At this time it’s thought that people have learned a thing or two about life.
The great Irish poet W. B. Yeats takes up this theme in his poem The Wild Swans at Coole. Yeats puts together a picture for the reader out of the details of the changing seasons in Coole Park in the west of Ireland, a place he knew well. Seeing and counting 59 swans, he remembers first making the count 19 years ago. He wonders whether he can still love like the lover swans do.
Of course, many other themes and subject matters can play a part in the literature of fall. For example, it’s the beginning of a new term of the school year. As you would expect, fall is found in writing for children and young people. But fall writing usually focuses on the changes in nature that we see, which writers often use as a symbol for changes in human life.
38. ________ expressed the unhappy side of fall in his work.
A. Ernest Hemingway B. Albert Camus C. John Keats D. W. B. Yeats
39. The writer mentioned some famous writers and poets to ________.
A. give details about their works B. compare their books and poems
C. show the readers the beauty of autumn D. show different understanding of fall
40. The underlined word “mature” means ________ in paragraph 4.
A. thinking about life carefully B. having lived for long
C. fully grown and developed D. not growing any longer
41. What is the article mainly about
A. Changes in nature. B. Writers in Western cultures.
C. Autumn in literature. D. Wonders in the best season.
【答案】38. A 39. D 40. C 41. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了不同的诗人对秋天的不同描述。

推理判断题。根据“Of course, many other themes and subject matters can play a part in the literature of fall.”可知，许多其他主题和题材也可以在秋季文学中发挥作用，所以是从不同的角度来理解秋天。故选D。

Hilary Smith belonged to a good family. But by the age of twenty, he had spent all the money the good old family had. He then had some trouble with the bank and was put in prison. He escaped from the prison and ran to Australia at once.
Hilary did not like Australia, and Australia did not like Hilary. What he could do seemed to be one of two things: die or work. Then he remembered that he was not alone in the world. He had an aunt.
She was his father’s only sister, but his father used to say she brought no glory (荣耀) to the family. Hilary, of course, tried to discover what she had done. It seemed that she had failed to marry a nobleman. Instead, she had chosen a husband who was connected with “trade”. Of course, as soon as she became “Mrs. Parks”, her brother considered her dead. Later on, Mr. Parks died and left her a lot of money. But that did not bring her back to life in her brother’s opinion.
Hilary discovered his aunt’s address. Luckily she remained faithful and loyal to him even after she fell ill. So Hilary’s star shone again, and soon he moved into her house and lived as comfortably as a sailor who had just reached harbor. He had only about a six-pence in his pocket.
One thing was soon clear: his aunt was seriously ill, and nothing could cure her illness. Hilary was very worried. Fate had found a home for him, and was now going to throw him out of it. There was only one thing that could save him: her will (遗嘱).
“Will ”she said, “yes, I have made one. That was when I was a girl and had not much money. I left all my money to some religious people. ”
“Didn’t you make another will when you were married ”Hilary asked.
His aunt shook her head. “No, ” she said in a low voice. “There was no need. When I finally had a lot of money I found I had no relations. ”
On the next day he went to the public library and examined a book of law. It told him what he already believed. When a woman is married, an earlier will loses its value. A new will must be made. If no new will is made, the money goes to the nearest relation. Hilary knew that he was his aunt’s only relation. His future was bright.
After a few months had passed, Hilary’s problems became serious. He badly needed money. He had expensive tastes, and owed a lot of money to shopkeepers. They believed in him because his aunt was rich, but the debt was terrible.
Unluckily his aunt did not want to discuss money matters at all. In the end they had a quarrel about the small amount often pounds. Hilary was not very angry. He began to wonder about a new problem. Was it kind to want his aunt to live any longer Was it not better for her to die now While he was considering what to do, his aunt told him that she was going to send for her lawyer. So she was going to make a new will, Hilary thought. She might leave all her money to someone else. Soon he reached a clear decision. He must do a great kindness to the poor old woman.
One night when the old servant who had been nursing his aunt went off, he doubled the amount of some medicine. The total amount was too great and it could just put her to sleep forever.
“Thank you, ”his aunt took the glass from his hand with a grateful look. “I want, more than anything, to sleep, and never to wake up again. Is that what you wish, Hilary Don’t blame (责怪) me if I have some doubts about what you intended to do. Sick people get these ideas, you know. One thing I ought to explain to you. Mr. Parks never married me. He already had a wife and couldn’t marry again. That made your foolish father very angry with me…Well, if I am alive tomorrow I shall make another will in your favor (赞成). If I die tonight, you’ll get nothing…. No, Hilary, don’t try to take the glass away. If you do that, I shall know, and I don’t want to know. Goodnight, Hilary. ”
Then, very carefully, she raised the glass to her mouth and drank.
42. From the story, we learn that Hilary’s aunt was ________.
A. careless about money B. rude to her nephew

六、 阅读与回答问题(本题共5小题；每小题2分, 满分10分)
请认真阅读下面短文，并根据短文内容回答问题。
Sophie, a 14-year-old British girl, suddenly changed her behavior in class. She lost interest in studies and would sit in the corner with her head mostly down.
Ethan Miller, one of Sophie’s teachers, discovered that she was bullied (欺凌) online. Sophie was receiving abusive (辱骂) messages on her phone and on Faccbook. Miller shared Sophie’s story on the official website of The Children’s Society, a children’s charity in the UK.
Sophie was not alone. One in three young people, in 30 countries, said they have experienced online bullying. Twenty percent of those bullied students were not willing to go to school because of it, according to a report in September. The study surveyed more than 170, 000 young people aged 13—24 from countries in Europe, Asia, Africa and South America. Seventy-five percent of them said that the most common online bullying cases happened on social media, like Faccbook and Twiter. The growth of social media has left many young people hurt through unfriendly and abusive messages, comments and pictures online.
The Internet world makes it easier for people to communicate with each other, but there is more danger for young people as well —and it is surprising that online bullying troubles many young people more than anything else. What’s more, online bullying could lead to serious results for young people. Such bullying makes young people more than twice as likely to hurt themselves or even kill themselves, according to a 2018 study by the university of Oxford, UK. The research also found that young people facing online bullying were not as likely to ask for help as those bullied by traditional ways.
To deal with the problem, UNICEF has called for national helplines to support people who are bullied, along with training for teachers and parents to prevent and deal with online bullying.
Here is some advice to keep yourself away from danger on the Internet.
● Make sure that you’re careful and respectful to others, even if you don’t share similar opinions, values or beliefs.
● If you experience online bullying, the best response (回应) to a bully is no response at all.
● Keep a record of anything that shows proof (证据) of online bullying, like screenshots. You can use this to report and stop them.

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】例文
Traditional Chinese stories play an important role in Chinese culture. Now, I’d like to introduce a well-known story called the Rabbit and the Turtle.
One day a rabbit and a turtle had a race. At first, the rabbit ran so fast that he quickly left the turtle far behind. A moment of pride went through his mind, “if I have a sleep now, the turtle can’t catch up with me, either.” Then he followed what he thought.
However, the turtle insisted on pulling himself slowly to the end, though he was quite tired. At last, when the turtle reached the finishing line, the whole animal world was surprised. The rabbit regretted a lot.
The story reminds me that something which seems impossible can be achieved if someone puts all his effort into it. As the old saying goes, “Everything comes to him who waits.” And I think I should take each task seriously not only in my study, but also in my life in the future.
