A
If you are currently (目前) learning English, I 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 idea, 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 habits. If Spotify is already on your phone, you can subscribe to (订阅) 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 the latest news articles. There’s even a “karaoke” 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.
21. How does Spotify help people
A. Develop a good habit. B. Listen to music or podcasts.
C. Learn a foreign language. D. Memorize words with flashcards.
22. What is the advantage of Beelinguapp
A. Learners can use their own language as an aid.
B. It’s convenient for learners to translate voice notes.
C. Learners can sing English songs along to the music.
D. It provides learners a chance to tell their own stories.
23. Which app can help people interact with a native speaker
A. Quizlet. B. Spotify. C. Beelinguapp. D. Tandem.
B
Nowadays mail delivery is a little different. I still get my mail from my mailbox. Nothing, but my neighbors’ mail. I thought that was curious.
I proceeded to take my neighbors’ mail to them. I was about to put the mail in their mailbox when a tall man came running out shouting about messing (弄乱) with his friend’s mail. He snatched (夺过) the mail from my hand, opened the mailbox and pointed to the mail inside. “You were after this.”
I shook my head, “No, believe me. I got this mail by mistake in my box today. I was just bringing it to them.” He gave me a funny look and went back into his house.
I got the knock on the door the next morning by two very polite officers. The annoyed tall man had phoned the police and told them I was a crazy old woman going around messing up everyone’s mail. Before I could finish telling them about what was going on, the officers had watched a dog run to my mailbox with mail in his mouth. He took out the mail that was in my box and put letters in. He pushed the door closed with his nose, picked up the new pile of mail he had got from my box, and repeated this all the way down the next street. We all started laughing.
The dog had belonged to a mail carrier who had died. No one thought to check (the carrier lived alone) on the man’s dog. The dog had been trained to put mail in and take mail out of the boxes. When he got loose, he “shouldered” his duties.
I went by to talk to the annoyed tall man to fill him in on what had happened. He was very pleased when he realized I was not a mail thief. He did, however, adopt (领养) the little guy.
24. Why did the tall man give the author a funny look
A. To show his disbelief. B. To express his curiosity.
C. To hide his annoyance. D. To hide his embarrassment.
25. How did the police officers discover the truth
A. By analyzing the case. B. By seeing the mix-up.
C. By questioning the author. D. By asking the tall man.
26. According to the story, the dog ________.
A. was well-trained and devoted
B. used to live a lonely and busy life
C. was commanded to replace the carrier
D. protected the mail in the neighborhood
27. What’s the best title for the story
A. A mail service B. A dog’s tale C. Special delivery D. Noble duties
C
For thousands of years, humans have built cities. Some of our oldest cities have managed to remain pieces of their original characteristics while others have disappeared completely.
One of these lost cities belonged to the Anasazi people who lived in Chaco Canyon in New Mexico. They built houses along the river that ran through the valley. For nearly 300 years, the Chaco Canyon was the population center of many desert cities. Now nothing is left of this busy city but ruins. Scientists think that drought may have made the Anasazi suffer from starvation (饥荒) or that some kind of disease killed off many of the people. However, no one knows for sure what happened to the people of the Chaco Canyon.
Another lost city sits high atop the Andes Mountains in Peru: the city of Machu Picchu. It was once among the most powerful cities in South America. It was home to the Incan emperor. In 1527, its citizens packed up their belongings and moved for unknown reasons. Scientists guess that smallpox, a disease brought by European explorers, was the cause of Machu Picchu’s downfall. Today, tourists from all over the world climb thousands of steep stone steps to view the ruins of this once great city.
Yet another city that is no more was called Pompeii. This was one of the wealthiest cities of ancient Italy. This beautiful seaside city was a lively center of trade. However, a storm of lava (火山岩浆), smoke, and ash from Mt. Vesuvius buried the city of Pompeii, putting an end to its prosperity (繁华). Scientists have studied the ruins of Pompeii, which led to new discoveries about ancient civilizations of Europe.
Humans have always built cities as centers for trade, business, and family life. Cities that have been lost provide information about the past, helping to inform our future. By studying lost cities, we can learn how to protect our current cities.
28. Machu Picchu was once among the most powerful cities in South America because ________.
A. it was the center of the Inca Empire
B. it was located high atop the Andes Mountains
C. it was founded by powerful European explorers
D. it is visited by many visitors throughout the world
29. What does the three cities have in common according to the passage
A. They were in ruins in the end.
B. They suffered from various illnesses.
C. They were unable to gain enough supplies.
D. They were the most powerful center of local economics.
30. The writer introduces the three lost cities mainly by _________.
A. making a comparison B. stating causes and effects
C. expressing his own opinions D. listing numbers and examples
31. What message does the author want to convey in the last paragraph
A. We should set up powerful cities for a competitive world.
B. We should pass on certain customs of ancient civilizations.
C. We should work out the ways to save our cities from various disasters.
D. We should learn from the past to ensure that we do not lose cities in the future.
D
As the new year is around the comer, crowds around the world may be expecting fireworks to light up the sky. However, the attraction of fireworks could fizzle out with the growing use of drones (无人机) for light shows, though.
Ollie Howitt, a leader of SkyMagic, which used a team of 300 drones to create a show for London’s new year celebration last year, said demand had increased a lot. “We do think it’s going to be something that’s ever catching on, instead of a temporary phenomenon (短暂的现象) people have suddenly got interested in. Drones are reusable and there’s no remains. In that sense they’re a very good, sustainable (可持续的) choice,” she said.
But not everyone agrees. A spokesperson from the British Fireworks Association said drones could also lead to environmental problems. “Suggestions are that drones have less of an impact on the environment, but we have serious concerns about electrical demand and use of lithium batteries which are known not to be all that ‘green’,” they said.
An RSPCA spokesperson said that while drones were a possible idea to try to reduce the impact of shows on animals, there were disadvantages. “Drones are not without their own negative issues such as frightening horses or crashing into birds, and can cause annoyance to animals and members of the public. It’s therefore important for their effects to be fully considered and measures taken to reduce the chance of accidents,” they said.
Some express the opinion that the use of fireworks and drones don’t rule out each other. The sight, sound and gunpowder smell of fireworks will always provide its own excitement.
“We find fireworks work really well when teamed up with drones. But we don’t really see it as a one-replacing-the-other at all. We feel as if it’s just another tool in the chest for how you enliven the sky and what you want to do with the show you’re putting on,” said Howitt, noting that while fireworks give a loud, emotive, big performance, drones offer the chance to tell stories in the sky by using a series of images.
32. What does the underlined phrase “fizzle out” in paragraph I mean
A. Catch on. B. Wind up. C. Create an impact. D. Make a comeback.
33. What does Howitt think about a drone show in paragraph 2
A. It’s certainly an upward trend.
B. It’ll get us to think about energy shortage.
C. It’s nothing but a short-lived sort of fashion.
D. It’ll excite the public curiosity about science.
34. Which of the following may Howitt suggest according to the last paragraph
A. Stopping the shows of fireworks. B. Adding the ways of using drones.
C. Increasing the production of drones. D. Listing drone shows as a new choice.
35. In which section of a website can we read this text
A. Advertisement. B. Business. C. Health. D. Environment.

Museums are centers filled with information designed to enlighten (启蒙) and educate the curious mind. Especially for children, museums introduce them to unknown worlds, inspire their imagination (创新) and provide them with valuable learning experiences. It’s generally believed that museums only help fuel school education. 36 .
Museums offer children bigger connections and guidance to history than a traditional class. They play a huge role in impacting their historical knowledge and the innovation taking place before their eyes. 37 Just reading out to them, encouraging them to ask questions and holding their attention is more than enough.
38 Humans gain values, knowledge, and skills that are not applicable to the only field but will aid them for a lifetime. A single visit to a museum near you will provide children with in-depth knowledge about different subjects that they can learn slowly, for museums let you stay as long as you want.
Museums are well enough equipped to wake up curiosity in young minds, which in turn will lead to these children asking questions. 39 Some of them might need a great deal of thought to answer and some of them might not have any answers at all. No matter what they asked, all of these questions must be equally encouraged and children must be given the confidence to find the answers to them on their own.
Museums have the ability to leave its visitors in awe (敬畏) of the huge amount of information it holds. They provide inspiration to young children through its resources that leave them crazy about the night sky and the solar system, the skeletons that keep them thinking about life before them, the artworks that encourage the creativity, etc. 40

C. But in fact, they provide knowledge about all walks of life.
D. All in all, museums encourage children to dream and wonder.

Dear Mrs. Zhu,
So delighted to learn that our school needs a “Young Ambassador for Cultural Exchange”, I think I am the perfect person for it.
Firstly, I’m fluent in English, which will make the communication between our honored friends and us much easier. Moreover, as a big fan of traditional Chinese culture, I don’t think there is anyone who could be more suitable than me to introduce our culture to foreign friends. In addition, my outgoing and enthusiastic personality makes me get along well with people quickly and easily.
I would appreciate it if you could trust me. I’m the very person you are looking for.
Yours,
Li Hua
