Quizlet is a learning App, a computer program you use on your mobile phone. It can help users build and test their knowledge of English words. Quizlet has word sets for millions ofsubjects. And, it is quickly becoming a useful mobile tool for language learners.Thorne teaches at Columbia University in New York City. Thanks to learning Apps, Jeff Strack, another English teacher, has also noticed improvement in his students’ ability to remember information. He teaches at Hostos Community College, also in New York. He and Thorne are part of a growing number of language educators adding mobile Apps to their classes.Strack and Thorne seem to agree that the days when teachers would not permit the use of mobile phones are gone. When they use Apps, language learners communicate more differently than in a traditional classroom. Users act on or respond to something, instead of just listening to new information.Thorne believes that Apps can help learners become more active in learning. For example, each week, his students are required to add vocabulary words into Quizlet for others to use. He says some Apps also make it easy for students to know their language strengths and weaknesses.The biggest improvement Strack has seen in his students is that they are much more active in whole-class or small-group discussions. “Apps let all students take part in the activity, whether it’s a game, quiz or practice activity.” he says.Many existing learning Apps are designed for students of all ages and levels. Some are designed for group activities. Some support independent learning. Still some are good for homework. Thorne says he especially likes Quizlet and three other Apps: QR Codes, Socrative and Evernote.24．What do Strack and Thorne do to improve their teaching?A. They design learning Apps for their students.B. They don’t allow their students to use Apps after classC. They allow their students to use mobile Apps to studyD. They order their students not to use mobile phones in class25．According to the text, Apps can help language learners __________.A. take an active part in learningB. save much time and moneyC. remember their weaknessesD. improve personal designing skills26．What can we learn about the existing learning Apps?A. They have three types in totalB. They are too few to choose fromC. They are only designed for homeworkD. They are designed for different uses27．What can be the best title for the text?A. Great changes in science and technologyB. The use of mobile phones will be goneC. Ways to choose from different mobile AppsD. Better language learning with mobile AppsCAs the world around them is changing, teenagers continue to need guidance and support from both parents. Studies show that teens who have an active relationship with their fathers are less likely(可能的)to involve themselves in dangerous behaviors and more likely to succeed in school and develop higher self-worth, because their fathers go beyond social expectations to devote attention to them.Peer(同龄人)pressure has always been a big part of the teens’ experience. Even the best father can’t completely protect their kids from the growing influence of their peer group. However, studies show that teenagers whose fathers focus on their lives are more likely to resist (抵抗)the more bad effects of peer pressure, taking drugs, for example.Teens may not like to admit it, but they are watching their parents closely and often follow their example. An interesting finding explains just how important parents are, especially Dad. Swiss researchers discovered that if Dad attends church, even though Mom doesn’t, 44 percent of the kids are still more likely to keep going to church as adults. But if Mom goes regularly and Dad never shows up, only 2 percent of the kids continue to attend.Teenagers face a lot of difficult choices, especially in their later teens.Fathers don’t get to make those choices for them, but they can be influenced. For example, teenagers can learn a lot from their parents’ concern on what to do when they finish high school. Should they go directly to college and, if so, where? Should they consider going to trade schools, joining the army or looking for a job? A father’s guidance brings a long-term perspective that teens often lack to these important decisions.28．Teenagers without father’s focus are more likely to __________.A. have higher self-worthB. experience some dangerous thingsC. become the best students in schoolD. resist all bad effects of peer pressure29．What does the third paragraph tell us?A. More teenagers pay no attention to their parentsB. Teenagers often treat their fathers as role modelsC. Teenagers never attend church with their mothersD. Fewer teenagers like to attend church with their fathers30．Which can replace the underlined word “perspective” in the last paragraph?A. point of viewB. jobC. schoolD. lots of concern31．What can we learn from the text?A. Fathers should make choices for teenagers directlyB. Teenagers care less about what their parents doC. Mothers h ave no effect on their children’s lifeD. Teenagers are greatly influenced by their fathersDPeople say that one man can’t make a difference, but Abdul Samad Sheikh, a 60-year-old rickshaw(人力车)driver from Bangladesh, has proved that doing a small thing over a long period of time can mean very much. He has planted at least one tree every day since he was 12 years old, which means that he has so far planted a smallforest of over 17,500 trees. Imagine if everyone followed his example.Abdul has worked as a rickshaw driver for most of his life. He makes a little money from his job, which is only enough to put food on the table for his family, but he somehow tries to also buy at least one tree everyday. He considers it his duty to the world. Mostly he plants them on government land so nobody can cut them down later. He also protects them, and if he sees anyone cutting a tree, he blames them.Abdul, his wife Jorna, and four of their children live in two old houses, on a piece of land that is owned by the Faridpur deputy commissioner’s office. They have no land of their own.Sometimes, she commands him not to plant trees but he doesn’t listen. Abdul’s 30-year-old son, Kutub Uddin, has never told his father not to plant trees, because he thinks his father does a good thing for society.Abdul’s neighbors all know about his daily habit, and praise his work. Whoever can ask of him anything, he will do his best to help. Therefore, Abdul is loved by neighbors.For his efforts, Abdul Samad Sheikh was recently honored by The Daily Star, and given $1, 253 to help him build a better home for his family. The Daily Star hoped everyone to follow his example, and protect the environment.“I can’t do it alone. I need the help of you all,” Abdul said in his speech. 32．What do we know about Abdul?A. He doesn’t support his familyB. He plants trees with his own moneyC. He makes a living by doing different jobsD. He plants trees to win his neighbors’ praise33．Why does Abdul plant trees on government land?A. To get money from governmentB. To set a good example to peopleC. To protect them from being cut downD. To get a place from government to build his own house34．Which of the following can best describe Abdul?A. Rich and reliableB. Poor but helpfulC. Stubborn and stupidD. Active but dishonest35．What does the underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refer to?A. Planting treesB. Driving a rickshawC. Making big moneyD.
