Four Free Mobile Apps to Help You Learn English Faster
Have you realised that you can put your smartphone to really good use for learning English? Here are 4
free mobile apps that will help you do just that.
Hello English
It covers all the aspects of language learning, including vocabulary, translation, grammar, spelling,
speaking and reading skills. It uses interactive games to teach different English lessons and offers new
audiobooks, the latest news, and books. However, you should already understand basic English structures
and the alphabet, for the app can't help you learn English from scratch (从零开始).
Duolingo
If you want to learn English from scratch, then this is the app you are looking for. Duolingo uses
{#{QQABbYgAogCgAAJAARgCUQGoCAOQkAGAAIoOgBAEsAABwBFABAA=}#}
interactive games to help you learn English. For beginners, the app focuses on helping you learn verbs,
phrases and sentences.
Lingbe
If you are ready to practise your spoken skills in the real-world communication, you'll need Lingbe. It's
a community-based app where people help each other and share their native languages. It connects you with
real people on call who are native English speakers.
Hello Talk
Hello Talk is similar to Lingbe as it connects you with native speakers to help improve your language
skills. However, it adds a few extra functions that might interest you. You can view the information about
users to find a match that interests you. Additionally, you can also send text and audio messages, and even
make video calls with other people.
If you are a beginner, start from Duolingo and then use Hello English to have a good command of the
language. For fluent spoken English learners, you can try out Lingbe or Hello Talk.
21. What should you already understand to use Hello English?
A. Good reading and writing skills. B. Basic listening and speaking tips.
C. Different English lessons and books. D. English letters and basic structures.
22. Which app is the best choice for an English beginner at first?
A. Hello English. B. Duolingo. C. Lingbe. D. Hello Talk.
23. What can you do on Lingbe?
A. Read the latest news. B. Enjoy the interactive games.
C. Practise your spoken English. D. Talk with native speakers face-to-face.

Holly Cooke wasn't a fan of weekends. Whenever Friday rolled around, it was a reminder that she had no
one to spend her spare time with.
“I was lonely,” said Cooke, who’re located from Stoke-on-Trent—a city in central England—to London
when she was 22. “I moved here knowing no one.” She had high hopes of going to restaurants, bars and the
theater as she had done before, but she didn't want to do those activities alone. “I was desiring community:
people who wanted to hang out and have fun,” said Cooke, now 26.
She grew so eager for company, she said, she eventually found herself Googling: “How to make friends
in London.” The search proved futile, though she found a few other women who were also lonely in London
on some social media apps.
Cooke decided to create a Facebook group called “The London Lonely Girls Club,” and invited the
people she connected with on the apps to join. She then asked everyone to meet for brunch (早午餐). “It was
{#{QQABbYgAogCgAAJAARgCUQGoCAOQkAGAAIoOgBAEsAABwBFABAA=}#}
so difficult,” she said, adding that she asked a friend from out of town to come in for the brunch, in case no
one else showed up. “Saying that you're lonely and you don't have people around, admitting to that was
really scary.”
Cooke was pleasantly surprised when five women showed up and they all got along well. This proved
she was not alone in her loneliness, and that she could help others in the same situation. She decided to start
planning meetups every few weeks, and word slowly spread about the Facebook group. Now, five years later,
the London Lonely Girls Club has more than 35,000 members.
Cooke said she lost count of how many women have made lasting friendships through her group. “It's
beautiful and rewarding, and it's the reason I've carried on,” she said. “As long as there is a need, we will be
here.”
24. What can we learn about Holly Cooke?
A. She was alone because of being addicted to social media apps.
B. She got used to the lifestyle of being alone on weekends.
C. She had little time to make friends after moving to London.
D. She used to meet friends on weekends when in Stoke-on-Trent.
25. What does the underlined word “futile” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Unsuccessful. B. Unstoppable.
C. Unusual. D. Unclear.
26. Why did Holly Cooke ask a friend from out of town to come to the brunch?
A. She wanted to have an optional plan in case it didn't work.
B. She wanted to introduce her friend to the other women.
C. She needed someone to help her to organize the meetup.
D. She was afraid that no one else would come as planned.
27. What do we know about the London Lonely Girls Club?
A. It is well received. B. It is not rewarding.
C. It is less creative. D. It is not fruitful.
C
It’s often said that we human beings can dream in a foreign language. Could dreaming in a foreign
language improve our memory? Does dreaming in a foreign language mean we are making progress in
learning that language?
Before we look at multilingual (多语言) dreams, first we need to look at sleep. The connection between
sleep and language can be applied to how we learn any language, including our native language. Even adults
still learn about one new word every two days in their first language. But, if we are going to remember that
{#{QQABbYgAogCgAAJAARgCUQGoCAOQkAGAAIoOgBAEsAABwBFABAA=}#}
new word better, what matters is that we need to connect it with what we have learned. And in order to do
that, we “need to have some sleep”, says Gareth Gaskell, a professor at the University of York.
It’s during sleep that the integration (整合) of old and new knowledge happens. At might, one part of
our brain — the hippocampus — takes whatever new information it receives during the day and passes it
on to other parts of the brain to be stored. The role that dreams play in this night-time learning process is still
being studied, but “it’s entirely possible that during multilingual dreams, the brain is trying to connect the
two languages”, says Marc, a researcher at a university in Bern, Switzerland.
So having multilingual dreams could mean that our brain is trying to remember a new word or phrase.
However, it could also have an emotional significance. Danuta, a professor of psycholinguistics at the
University of Silesia in Poland, suggests that multilingual dreams can express “fears or wishes” around
learning a foreign language, including the wish to be a local speaker or to be accepted within a certain
community.
We clearly still have a lot to learn about multilingual dreams, but one thing seems certain: if you’re
trying to learn a new language, you can sleep on it.
28. Why does the author mention questions in paragraph 1?
A. To compare different ideas.
B. B. To introduce the main topic.
C. To present different types of dreams.
D. D. To discuss the human language ability.
29. What is the key element in memorizing a new word according to the text?
A. The other new words. B. The native language.
C. The gained knowledge. D. The speaking practice.
30. What can we learn about multilingual dreams?
A. They may influence people’s sleep quality.
B. They can reflect language-learning feelings.
C. They are the best option to learn a language.
D. They help to clear up the useless information.
31. Where is the text most likely from?
A. A novel. B. A diary. C. A guidebook. D. A magazine.
D

Scientists say they have developed a system that uses machine learning to know when and where
lightning will strike. Researchers report the system is able to tell that lightning strikes up to 30 minutes
before they happen within a 30-kilometer area.
Lightning carries an extremely powerful electrical charge(电荷), and it can be destructive and deadly.
European researchers have estimated that between 6,000 and 24,000 people are killed by lightning
worldwide each year. For this reason, climate scientists have long sought to develop methods to predict
lightning.
The system tested in the experiments uses a combination of data from weather stations and machine
learning methods. The researchers developed a prediction model that was trained to recognize weather
conditions that were likely to cause lightning.
The model was created with data collected over a 12-year period from 12 Swiss weather stations in
cities and mountain areas. The data was placed into a unique machine learning algorithm( 算 法 ), which
compared it to records of lightning strikes. Researchers say the algorithm was then able to learn the
conditions under which lightning happens.
The researchers test-ran the system several times. They found that the system made predictions that
proved correct almost 80 percent of the time. “It can now be used anywhere,” the Swiss Federal Institute of
Technology said in a statement.
The researchers plan to keep developing the technology in partnership with a European effort that aims
to create a lightning protection program. The effort is called the European Laser Lightning Rod project.
Scientists working on the project are experimenting with a laser technology that could someday control
lightning activity, taking lightning charges from clouds to the ground. They hope that such technology can
one day be used as protection against lightning strikes. Possible uses could be at stations, airports or places
where large crowds gather.
32. Why was the system developed?
A. To protect people from lightning.
B. To show the power of lightning.
C. To keep track of lightning deaths.
D. To meet kids’ curiosity about lightning.
33. What is special about the system?
A. It was based on a number of samples worldwide.
B. It adopted a different machine learning algorithm.
C. It used an effective method of collecting data.
D. It required low cost of predicting lightning.
{#{QQABbYgAogCgAAJAARgCUQGoCAOQkAGAAIoOgBAEsAABwBFABAA=}#}
34. What will the researchers do next with the laser technology?
A. Monitor lightning activity. B. Prevent the happening of lightning.
C. Produce electricity with lightning. D. Direct energy from lightning.
35. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. A System of Controlling Lightning.
B. A Theory of Explaining Lightning.
C. A Method of Predicting Lightning.
D. A Model of Creating Lightning.

How to Survive a Tsunami
A tsunami is a series of destructive and dangerous waves that are typically caused by earthquakes. If
you live in a tsunami hazard region, make sure you know what to do in the unfortunate event of a tsunami.
36
1. Evacuate on foot if possible.
Bridges and roads might be damaged or blocked after an earthquake. Whether there is an official
tsunami warning or you live in a tsunami hazard zone and an earthquake just happened, immediately start
moving on foot. 37 This helps you avoid getting stuck in a car in a dangerous location.
2. 38
In some cases, you might not have time to evacuate. If you don't have time to get away, go up to a third
floor or higher in a strong building. Even better, try to get on the roof of the tallest, strongest building you
can find. If you're right on the coast, there might be a tall tsunami evacuation tower nearby. Look for
evacuation route signs and follow them to the tower, then climb to the top.
3. Grab something floating if you're in the water.
This can help keep you safe if you get caught by a tsunami's waves. 39 Grab the object and
hold on tightly while you get carried by the waves.
4. 40
Tsunami activity can continue for up to 8 hours or longer. Stay away from the coast and on high ground
for this period to play it safe. Listen to announcements from officials and only move when they say it's safe
to do so.
You may be stressed out and worried about loved ones, but you must stay where you are and try to
remain calm. Don't put your life at risk to try to meet up with someone in another area.
A. Look for a boat to stay on.
{#{QQABbYgAogCgAAJAARgCUQGoCAOQkAGAAIoOgBAEsAABwBFABAA=}#}
B. Walk or run towards safety quickly.
C. Stay in your safe spot for at least 8 hours.
D. Climb to the top of a building if you are trapped.
E. Here are some ways to react and survive a tsunami.
F. Look for something strong like a tree, a door or a life raft.
G. Join the rescue team in order to search for your loved ones.

注意：（1）续写词数应为 150 左右；
（2）开头已给出。
I have already forgotten the name of an old lady who was a customer on my paper-delivery route when I
was a twelve-year-old boy. Yet it seems like just yesterday that she taught me a lesson in forgiveness that I
can only hope to pass on to someone else someday.
On a mindless Saturday afternoon, a friend and I were throwing rocks onto the roof of the old lady’s
house. We just wanted to observe how the rocks changed to missiles (导弹) as they rolled to the roof’s edge
and shot out into her yard.
I found myself a perfectly smooth rock and sent it for a ride. The stone was too smooth, however, so it
slipped from my hand as I let it go and headed straight for a small window on the old lady’s back door. At
the sound of broken glass, we took off from the old lady’s yard faster than any of our missiles flew off her
roof.
I was too much scared! However, a few days later, when I was sure that I hadn’t been discovered, I
started to feel guilty. She still greeted me with a smile each day when I gave her the paper, but I was no
longer able to act comfortable in her presence.
I made up my mind that I would save my paper delivery money, and in three weeks I had the ten dollars
that I thought would cover the cost of her window.
Paragraph 1:
I put the money in an envelope with a letter in it.
_______________________________________________________________________________________
_______________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
The next day, after receiving the paper, she thanked me and said, “I have something for you.”
