Here are 4 free mobile apps that will help you do just that.Hello EnglishIt covers all the aspects of language learning, including vocabulary, translation, grammar, spelling, spoken and reading skills. It uses interactive games to teach different English lessons and offers new audio-books, latest news, and books. However, you should already understand basic English structures and alphabets, for the app can't help you learn English from scratch(从零开始).DuolingoIf you want to learn English from scratch, then this is the app you are looking for. Duolingo uses interactive games to help you learn English. For beginners, theapp focuses on helping you learn verbs, phrases and sentences.LingbeIf you are ready to practice your spoken skills in the real world, 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.HelloTalkHelloTalk 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 do video calls with other people.If you are a beginner, start from Duolingo and then use Hello English to take full command of the language. For fluent spoken English learners, you can try out Lingbe or HelloTalk.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. HelloTalk.23.What can you do on Lingbe?A. Read the latest news.B. Enjoy the interactive games.C. Practice your spoken English.D. Talk with native speakers in the flesh.BWhen talking about the two sexes, people often say that men are from Mars and women are from Venus. Undeniably, men and women have great differences in many ways.However, these contrasts in character could all be down to supposed differences between the male and female brain.For example, a study led by British psychologist Stuart Ritchie in 2012 found that men’s brains are on average 10 percent bigger than women’s.And another study led by Israeli psychologist Daphna Joel at Tel Aviv University in 2015 further claimed that differences exist in male and female brains, although each individual’s brain has a “mix of features”, as New Scientist wrote.But Lise Eliot, a professor of neuroscience (神经学) at the Chicago Medical School, begs to differ. She recently said that the brain “is a unisex organ ”.Through analyzing brain data of several different men and women, Eliot found that the statistics about brain differences mean nothing. According to her findings, male and female brains are not much more different from each other than male or female hearts or kidneys. And more importantly, these differences don’t show that male and female brains work differently.So, if it’s not in the brain, what makes males and females behave differently? The answer may lie in socialization, according to The Atlantic.In the past, many gender studies ignored the effects of a person’s social background and upbringing, instead relying on other data. Take former Harvard University president Lawrence Summers for example. He used a 1970 study that showed men outperformed women 13-to-one on the math part of the SAT to argue that males are more suited to science subjects.However, another study found that if females were given better opportunities to study science subjects, the ratio would drop to three-to-one.Eliot’s study “contributed in an important way to the conversation,” neuropharmacologist Margaret McCarthy at the University of Maryland School of Medicine in Baltimore, US, told Science magazine.Yet, at the same time, McCarthy believes that classing males and females as essentially the same is going “too far”.24. Why were Ritchie and Joel’s studies mentioned in the article?A. To explain the causes of behavioral differences in men and women.B. To show how men and women differ in character.C. To explain the differences between male and female brains.D. To explore the features of male and female brains.25. What did Eliot’s study find?A. Male and female brains are exactly the same.B. Male and female brains do not differ in function.C. Brain data is not useful for conducting gender studies.D. Male and female brains have fewer differences than other organs.26. What causes the differences in behavior between men and women, according to The Atlantic?A. Brain size.B. Intelligence.C. Social environment.D. Learning ability.27. Which statement would McCarthy probably agree with?A. It’s important to give equal opportunities to men and women.B. It’s unnecessary to study the differences between men’s and women’s brains.C. Eliot’s study offers a good explanation for gender differences.D. Male brains are better at solving science problems.CTeenag ers in the US know they’ll probably need tech skills to land good jobs, but a new survey suggests that interest in tech careers may be decreasing .The percentage of boys aged 13 to 17 who are interested in science, technology, engineering and math – or STEM – careers dropped from 36 percent in 2017 to 24 percent this year, according to a survey by Junior Achievement USA. The amount of girls interested in STEM careers stayed unchanged at 11 percent.But the 1,000 survey participants still named technology as one of two key skills that will be necessary to prepare them for their future careers.“Kids don’t understand how technology can be applied to careers outside of computers, coding and maybe robotics,” said Tammera L. Holmes, president of aviation consu lting firm AeroStar Consulting. “That’s all they know, so they can’treally translate that interest to career pathways .”When Holmes was in high school, her mom sent her to an event that featured the Tuskegee Airmen, famous military pilots from World War II. One of the pilots took her for a ride and let her take the wheel. “I was 16 years old, flying over Lake Michigan, facing down the skyline, and I knew immediately that was the career for me,” she said.Women remain outnumbered by men in fields like technology. For people working to increase the number of women in these areas, the lack of growth in girls’ interest in STEM careers is concerning.Teenage girls are more interested than their male classmates in pursuing careers in which they can help others, said Ed Grocholski from Junior Achievement. Even with all the programs aimed at increasing girls’ interest in STEM, “I don’t think we really talk that much about how we improve people’s lives through STEM,” Grocholski said.Society needs to do better at making those connections for kids, said Katherine Latham, founder of an engineering firm. She used civil engineering as an example of a career that will continue to be crucial.However, the fact that students know they will need tech skills in their future careers is encouraging. The second skill they said they need? Relationship-building.“That’s going to be the new breed of engineers,” Latham said.28. What is the reason behind kids’ falling interest in tech careers?A. They find tech careers too boring.B. They find tech skills are less important than before.C. They can’t connect their tech interest to future careers.D. They don’t think tech careers are rewarding enough.29. What started Holmes’ interest in her current career?A. A documentary about the life of pilots.B. A summer camp for trainee pilots.C. Her parents’ wish for her to become a pilot.D. Her flight experience with a pilot.30. According to Grocholski, teenage girls are more interested in careers that ______.A. can improve people’s livesB. will make them look beautifulC. are different from those of their parentsD. can socialize more with other people31. What is the article mainly about?A. The popularity of tech careers among kids and its reasons.B. Reasons behind the change of kids’ interest in tech careers.C. The different careers boys and girls in the US will pursue.D. Some examples of kids pursuing tech careers successfully.DFew writers have had such an impact on the thinking of the modern world as British writer George Orwell (1903-1950). Orwell wrote many things on a variety of topics, for example, poverty in England in the 1930s during the Great Depression and his experience in the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939).But he is most famous for his works of fiction, Animal Farm (1945) and, especially,Nineteen Eighty-Four (1949). These last books became especially influential in the West in the 1950s during the early Cold War years.In Nineteen Eighty-Four, Orwell imagined a Britain of the future, modeled on the Soviet Union. His chilling tale of Winston Smith, a regular man who comes into conflict with the government, was close to the fears of many people of the time. Ideas from the novel soon entered everyday culture, and are still in use today. “Big Brother”, for example, is a phrase from the book that refers to how authority is always looking over one’s shoulder.Other phrases used in the novel, like “War is Peace” and “Freedom is slavery” are also still used now. Indeed, many people see Orwell’s books as warnings about what might happen if those in power become corrupted (腐败).Even today, Orwell remains an influential voice. Often, writers achieve great fame and popularity, but they don’t affect how people live their everyday lives. For example, British author JK Rowling is a huge literary success, but one wouldn’t say that Harry Potter has affected the way people think about politics. For better or for worse, however, George Orwell has.It’s because of Orwell’s influence on popular thinking that UNESCO’s Memory of the World Progra mme recently decided to include a collection of Orwell’s writings on its register.The Memory of the World register is similar to UNESCO’s world heritage (遗产) site program, which protects places and buildings and natural features in the world. According to its website, the idea behind the body is “that the world’s documentary evidence belongs to all” and should be “permanently accessible to all”.University College London, which proposed the idea to UNESCO, said in its application that Orwell’s work “had a profound (深远的) influence on human thought in all parts of the world, an influence that remains potent (强大的) today”.32. What do we know about Orwell?A. His most famous works were based on his own experience.B. His books were well-received during the Cold War.C. He mainly wrote about imaginative, beautiful worlds.D. His writings are often compared to those of JK Rowling.33. What’s the novel Nineteen Eighty-Four about?A. The cruelty of war in the 20th century.B. The serious effects of poverty in England.C. People’s various conflicts with the government.D. A corrupt UK government of the future.34. The phrases from Orwell’s books are mentioned in the article mainly to ______.A. share some of his classic ideasB. show how he used language in a creative wayC. stress his ideas are still meaningful todayD. show how he described the dark side of society35. Why were Orwell’s writings included on the Memory of the World register?A. They introduced a new way of writing.B. They were a huge literary success.C. They shaped political systems in Western countries.D. They continue to have a great influence on human thought.第二节七选五阅读理解（12.5分）Energy balance is the balance of energy in and energy out. 36 Energy out is the calories (卡路里) burned from physical activity(like walking in the climbing stairs)，activities of daily living(like getting dressed and cleaning your room) and basic body processes(like thinking and sleeping).Human beings need energy to survive—to breathe，move and think. 37 When we say a kind of food or drink contains 100 calories，that is a way of describing how much energy our body gets from eating or drinking it. 38 Our height，weight，age and activity level all affect the amount of energy we need. That energy is then used by the activities we do each day and the basic body processes.Keeping balance between our energy in and energy out contributes to the lifestyle. 39 For children，however，the focus should also be about having enough energy to do all the things they want to do and to become strong and healthy.40 But our goal should be to keep balance over time. Energy balance in children happens when the amount of energy in and energy out supports normal growth and development without gaining too much weight. So an exact 1：1 ratio(比例) of energy in and energy out is not our goal. What’s important is to balance our daily calorie requirements with regular physical activities.A. We need energy to survive.B. Adults often focus on weight gain or loss.C. Energy in is calories taken in from food and drinks.D. And we get this energy from calories in food and drinks.E. How many calories we need each day depends on many things.F. Generally speaking，school children need more calories than adults.G. Our energy in and energy out don’t have to balance exactly each day.第三部分语言运用第一节完形填空（20分）阅读下面短文，从文后各题所给的ABCD中选择刻意填入空白处的最佳答案。

Someone with a positive manner, perhaps a detective, used the expression “mad man” as he bent over Wilson’s body that afternoon, and the adventitious authority of his voice set the key for the newspaper reports next morning.Most of those reports were a nightmare --- grotesque, circumstantial, eager and untrue. When Michaelis’s testimony at the inquest brought to light Wilson’s suspicions of his wife, I thought the whole tale would shortly be served up in racy pasquinade --- but Catherine, who might have said anything, didn’t say a word. She showed a surprising amount of character about it too --- looked at the coroner with determined eyes under that corrected brow of hers and swore that her sister Daisy had never seen Gatsby, that her sister was completely happy with her husband Tom, that they were spending a nice time in London. She convinced herself of it and cried into her handkerchief as if the very suggestion was more than she could endure. So Wilson was reduced to a man “deranged by grief” in order that the case might remain in its simplest form. And it rested there.I think it was on the third day that a telegram signed Henry C．Gatz arrived from a town in Minnesota. It said only that the owl-eyed man was leaving immediately and to postpone the funeral until he came.It was Gatsby’s father, a solemn old man very helpless and dismayed, bundled up in a long cheap ulster against the warm September day. His eyes leaked continuously with excitement and when I took the bag and umbrella from his hands he began to pull so incessantly at his sparse grey beard that I had difficulty in getting off his coat.And as the moon rose higher the inessential houses began to melt away until gradually, I became aware of the old island here that flowered once for Dutch sailors’ eyes ---a fresh, green breast of the new world. Its vanished trees, the trees that had made way for Gatsby’s house, had once pandered in whispers to the last and greatest of all human dreams; for a transitory enchanted moment man must have held his breath in the presence of this continent, compelled into an aesthetic contemplation he neither understood nor desired, face to face for the last time in history with something commensurate to his capacity for wonder.Gatsby believed in the green light, the orgastic future that year by year recedes before us. It eluded us then, but that’s no matter --- tomorrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms farther.... And one fine morning ---So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.4．What does Daisy do after Gatsby is killed?A．She is very sad at the news.B．She goes on vacation with Tom.C．She phones from Chicago and sends flowers.D．She comes to his house and weeps uncontrollably.5．Why was Wilson thought as a man “deranged by grief”?A．To express his anger for Daisy.B．To show his sorrow for Gatsby.C．To confirm Wilson as a “mad man”.D．To keep the case as simple as it was before.6．Who is Henry C．Gatz?A．The man who buys Gatsby’s house.B．Gatsby’s father.C．A policeman who comes to the funeral.D．One of Gatsby’s neighbor.7．What’s the structure of the passage?A．①①—①①—①①B．①—①①①①—①C．①①—①①①—①D．①—①①①—①①What are the limits of the human body? Is there a point at which it is physically impossible to do something?“One thing we’ve all learned in the last 30 years or so is that just about anything is humanly possible,” says Dr. Jack Wilmore, author of Physiology of Sport and Exercise. “As time goes by, I think you’ll see more records continue to fall in every sport. The talent pool is better than ever. With more and better athletes involved and competing, records will fall and new standards will be set.”Many believed it was physically impossible for a human to run a mile in under four minutes, but Roger Bannister proved that theory wrong with a three-minute, 59-second mile in 1954. Today, sub-four-minute miles are considered routine even in high school. And Bob Beamon stretched human performance in the 1968 Olympics with his historic long jump of 8.90 metres. In an event where a record is usually broken by mere inches, he broke the previous jump record by more than 21 inches, but even his record was broken in 1991.One factor is now becoming more understood and heavily emphasized: sports psychology. Getting inside the athlete’s head can be as effective as training and long workouts. According to Wilmore, the psychological aspect of sports has become more and more esteemed. He points out that most professional teams have hired sports psychologists for their players.In addition, every aspect of athletics ---training, nutrition, injury treatment ---is far better than it’s ever been. “Besides, children today tend to specialize in one or two sports instead of competing in several as was common twenty-five years ago,” Wilmore says. “That means they start concentrating on a sport much earlier and more intensely, and they become much better at it.”“There’s a lot we don’t know yet about the human body,” he adds. “And one of those things is the full range of human potential. It would be foolish to try and put limits on what the human body can do.”8．Which statement will Wilmore probably agree with?A．It is preferable to set universal standards for athletes.B．Athletes will become the most sought-after celebrities.C．It is necessary for athletes to learn the limits of the body.D．Athletes will continue to surprise us with their achievements.9．Why are Roger Bannister and Bob Beamon mentioned in paragraph 3?A．To introduce two great athletes.B．To show some of the latest world records.C．To prove the limits of the body can be pushed.D．To explain what athletes can achieve under stress.10．What does the underlined word “esteemed” in paragraph 4 mean?A．Similar.B．Valued.C．Complex.D．Specialized.11．How are today’s children different from those years ago according to Wilmore?A．They participate in far more sports.B．They are less likely to get injured in sports.C．They begin playing sports at a much earlier age.D．They become more skilful at one particular sport.The old saying “Use it or lose it” doesn’t appear to be true when it comes to someone’s ability to preserve and use a foreign language, a new study has revealed.The research team tasked almost 500 British people who had taken French GCSE or A-level between the 1970s and 2020 with completing a French vocabulary and grammar test. They included a survey of whether participants had used their French knowledge over the years since their exams, and excluded (排除) anyone who had studied a language later on in life.They found that participants who had taken their exam 50 years ago and not used French since performed at the same level as recent school leavers, and as well as those who did, on occasion, use French.Lead researcher Monika Schmid said: “The knowledge of language is astonishingly stable over long periods of time, compared to other subjects such as maths, history or science. This is likely because of the way language is stored in memory. Vocabulary is memorized in the same way that facts, dates and names are, while this memory may become weaker over time, and grammar is learned in a similar way to riding a bike, a kind of muscle memory, which is much more stable. V ocabulary knowledge on the other hand, exists in a highly connected network, which means that we need only be reminded of a word that soundssimilar to a foreign language word for our brain to recall it.”“Many people are put off revisiting languages they once learnt as they fear they will be forced to relive some of the more ‘boring’ elements of the courses, such as grammar, but our work suggests that this would not be necessary. We hope that it might encourage more people to pick foreign languages back up if they know it would only take a short amount of time in refresher lessons to bounce back to their original level,” Schmid added.12．What did the researchers ask the participants to do?A．Take a French exam.B．Conduct a survey in French.C．Learn French from recent school leavers.D．Talk about their French GCSE experience.13．What can help us recall a foreign word?A．A fact related to it.B．Our muscle memory.C．A similar-sounding word.D．The grammar of the language. 14．What can we infer from Schmid’s words in the last paragraph?A．One is able to quickly and easily relearn a language.B．Years of use promises fluency in a foreign language.C．The boring elements of a language course are important.D．Refresher lessons are necessary in picking foreign languages back up.15．What is the best title for the text?A．Language Tests Taken at School MatterB．If You Don’t Use a Language, You Lose ItC．Knowledge of Foreign Languages Lasts a LifetimeD．When You Grasp the Grammar, You Learn the Language二、七选五Many families stick to the belief that some schools offer golden tickets for their children’s futures. Whether it’s an Ivy League college or a high-price “dream school,” too many people believe certain schools are worth endless effort, stress and debt. They believegreater impact on career prospects than the reputation of the college you attend.For example, if you are interested in pursuing a career in engineering, it is important to choose a college that has a strong engineering program. 17 While attending a reputable college may offer networking opportunities and access to top resources, the value of these benefits may fall if your major does not align with (与……一致) your career goals. Furthermore, practical skills and experience are important in today’s job market. Therefore, choosing a major that provides hands-on experience and opportunities for internships (实习) is more likely to lead to employment opportunities than simply attending a reputable college.18 “A graduate with a degree in engineering is going to come in at three times the salary of someone who graduated from Harvard with a soft degree, you know, liberal arts, humanities, whatever,” says Paul Hill, president of Job Search Intelligence in Los Angeles.Another important factor to consider is the cost of attendance. Attending a reputable college may come with a high price. 19 Choosing a college that is affordable and offers a strong program in your chosen major is a smart financial decision that can pay off in the long run.In conclusion, when choosing a college, it is important to prioritize your major over the reputation of the college you attend. 20A．That can lead to significant student loan debt.B．The cost is what matters, not the name of the school.C．If their child gets in, their life’s road will be surfaced with gold.D．Dream schools don’t produce happier or more successful people.E．Your major choice can also have an impact on your earning potential.F．Similarly, choose a college with a reputable journalism program for a journalism career.G．Your major plays a significant role in shaping your career prospects and earning potential.三、完形填空Our house was across the street from the entrance of a famous hospital in the city.
