As a language learning enthusiast，I've come up with the best apps for learning English from the thousands of mobile apps out there.
Best for Pronunciation：ELSA Speak
ELSA Speak is probably the best mobile app around for helping you improve your English pronunciation.The app's greatest strength is its intensive AI feedback，but ELSA also provides mini-training sessions to really perfect your pronunciation.The AI analyzes your recordings based on pronunciation，intonation and fluency then points out exactly which parts sound inaccurate.

I have lived in rural America for nine years, first in Michigan, where I got my PhD; then in central Illinois and now in Indiana, where I am a professor. In a place where most people have lived the whole of their lives, I feel like a stranger.
There are few things I enjoy more than complaining about my geographic isolation (隔离). Iˈm a vegetarian, so there's nowhere to go for a nice dinner that isn’t 50 miles away. I'm black, so there’s nowhere to get my hair done that doesn't involve another 50-mile drive. And the closest major airport is two hours away.
I recite these gripes（抱怨）to my friends. We all have grand ideas about what life would be like if only we did that, or lived there. And there’s this: I really don't intend to change most of the things I complain about. Griping is seductive on those days when happiness requires too much energy. But it also makes me lose sight of the fact that I was born and grew up in Nebraska and have lived most of my life in one of the plains states. When I go to the coasts, I am struck by how unappealing big-city living can be.
While I may not love where I live, there are plenty of people who are proud to call this place home. At a party with colleagues, I was going on about everything I couldn't stand in our town when I noticed that they were silent and shifting uncomfortably. That moment forced a change in me.
Complaining may offer relief, but so does acceptance. There is no perfect life. By focusing on gripes, I risk missing out on precious moments of appreciation. When I get home, I stand on my balcony (阳台), look into the night sky and see the stars. I know that I have absolutely nothing to complain about.
4. What causes the author's loneliness?
A. Dietary habits. B. Racial prejudice.
C. Educational differences. D. Identity confusion.
5. What does the underlined word “seductive” mean in paragraph 3?
A. Attractive. B. Temporary. C. Violent. D. Flexible.
6. How might the author feel about himself when the atmosphere changed at a party?
A. Humbled. B. Angry. C. Touched. D. Calm.
7. What does the author realize in the end?
A. Every day is beautiful.
B. When in Rome, do as the Romans do.
C. Human must value lives themselves.
D. Don't be penny wise and pound foolish.
C
The rhino census（犀牛普查）is out，bearing good news for the greater one-homed rhinos!In September，2022，the International Rhino Foundation （IRF） documented in a report that there is a baby boom in this population，representing an increase of 167 percent.
According to the report，there are a total of 4，014 greater one-horned rhinos living in India，Nepal，and Bhutan.Although this is positive news，their IUCN （International Union for Conservation of Nature） status still remains vulnerable.
In India alone，the home to 70 percent of the world's greater one-homed rhinos，there was an increase of 274 rhinos since the last biannual census，according to the organization Rhino Review.
An important reason for this baby boom is the fact that Assam，India，has enlarged Kaziringo National Park，home to the world's largest one-homed rhino population.The park went from 430 square kilometers to 1，040 square kilometers.This gives more breeding areas for the rhinos，and they are closed to visitors during breeding season.
India and Nepal are also protecting the rhinos by enforcing wildlife crime laws.To reduce rhino death by poaching （偷猎），the IRF donates vehicles and equipment，plus education including guard training and crime investigation.
The IRF data for other rhino species is not as promising，although the greater one-homed rhino numbers are encouraging for future conservation.According to the report，there is a decline in Sumatran rhinos，Africa's white rhinos，while the Javan rhino population is stable and threatened by loss of habitat.
The State of the Rhino report offers hope for these other species.Given that the greater one -- homed rhinos were once close to extinction，with fewer than 100 living in the world，their recovery is incredible.This demonstrates that there are solutions when organizations and people work together.Let us hope that this successful rhino baby boom will affect other endangered wildlife species around the globe.
8. What contributes to the baby boom of one-homed rhinos in Assam，India？ ______
A. Extending the protected areas for rhinos.
B. Raising fund to set up more reserves for rhinos.
C. Leaving the one-homed rhinos alone in the wild.
D. Keeping visitors away from the Kaziringo National Park.
9. How does IRF help protect the one-homed rhinos？ ______
A. By cooperating with other organizations.
B. By enhancing anti-poaching efforts.
C. By transferring the rhinos to other habitats.
D. By guarding the rhinos with new equipment.
10. What can we learn from the rhino report？ ______
A. Rhinos are no longer a vulnerable species.
B. Rhinos will affect other wildlife in the world.
C. Everyone can play a role in protecting nature.
D. It is possible to protect other endangered species.
11. What is the purpose of this text？ ______
A. To inform good news on the greater one-homed rhinos.
B. To show the measures taken to protect the one-homed rhinos.
C. To introduce an endangered species-the greater one-homed rhinos.
D. To indicate the decline of other species of rhino population.
D
The human brain is the most complex and poorly understood biological structure known to man.Our human brain is relatively large for our body size and wrinkled in comparison to other animals' brains.Across species，brain size and wrinkle number is related to intelligence.
University of Copenhagen researchers have made an incredible discovery seeking to learn more about the mammalian （哺乳动物的） brain.A vital enzyme，a special material，allows brain signals to be transmitted or transported.The enzyme is randomly turning on and off，even taking hours-long "breaks from work." These discoveries could have a significant impact on our understanding of the brain and the development of medicines.The discovery is featured on the cover of Nature.
Millions of neurons （神经元） are constantly communicating with one another，shaping thoughts and memories and allowing us to move our bodies at will.Neurotransmitters are transported from one neuron to another by a unique enzyme when two neurons meet to exchange a message.
This process is necessary for neuronal communication as well as the survival of all complex organisms （extremely small living things）.Until now，researchers all over the world assumed that these enzymes were constantly active，transmitting vital signals.However，this is not the case.
It is almost impossible to understand that the extremely critical process of loading neurotransmitters in containers is carried out by only one cell per container.Especially when we find that 40%of the time these cells are switched off.
Using a new method，researchers from the Department of Chemistry at the University of Copenhagen closely examined the enzyme and discovered that its activity switches on and off at random periods of time，contradicting our previous understanding.
"Contrary to popular belief，and unlike many other proteins，these enzymes could stop working for minutes to hours.Still，the brains of humans and other mammals are miraculously able to function，" says Professor Dimitrios Stamou，who led the study from the research center at the University of Copenhagen's Department of Chemistry.
12. What is implied in the second paragraph？ ______
A. The enzyme is continuously turning on and off.
B. Enzyme does not affect the transmission of brain signals.
C. No enzyme has been found in the mammalian brain so far.
D. Scientists used to think the special enzyme does not take a break.
13. How could we move our bodies as we like？ ______
A. The communication between neurons happens without stop.
B. We shape our thoughts though we may not have good memories.
C. The newly found unique enzyme is at the most time switched off.
D. Neurotransmitters transport a unique enzyme from one neuron to another.
14. Why do the scientists think the discovery unbelievable？ ______
A. There is enzyme in mammalian brains.
B. Mammalian brains function as human' s.
C. One cell can have such an important function.
D. 40%of the critical cells are actually switched off.
15. What can be the best title for the passage？ ______
A. A Surprising Significant Finding about Mammalian Brains
B. A Very Important Research Led by Professor Dimittrios Stamou
C. Researches on Brains of Animals Being Carried out By Scientists
D. A Completely New Method Employed by the Department of Chemistry

Nowadays I dream about being a famous writer，but I used to dream about doing something spectacular to impress my father and make him proud of me—something like rescuing a child from a burning building or chasing a robber away from an old lady.
I was daydreaming in school one morning.I was daydreaming about being some kind of hero when my friend Ellen reminded me of my English teacher's announcement about a Father's Day essay contest.
"I hope we have a winner right here in my English class，"she said."There are three prizes for each of you."
When I got home，I kissed my mom quickly.Then I went upstairs to my room and sat down with a pen and a pad of paper.I started to think about what I would write.
How did I sec my father？Hmm.
I saw him teaching me how to use a bat and how to throw a baseball.
I remembered how he hugged me for hours when my dog Spotty was hit and killed by a car.And I remembered how he sat and tried to explain death to me when Grandpa Bob died.
These were the things I was going to write about my dad.To me，he wasn't just a world-famous astronaut.He was my dad.
I wrote about all these memories and put them in my essay.I handed it in the next day and was surprised to find out that the winning essays would be read in the auditorium on Thursday night.All the parents and students were incited.
My parents and I went to school Thursday night.One of our neighbors said，"I bet you'll win the contest，David.I bet you wrote what it's like to be the son of an astronaut，and you're the only one in town who could write about that."
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

（2）段落主题题。根据下文Say your goal is to get up an hour earlier every day.One day you start setting your alarm for an hour earlier and you keep this up for one week.Then because you are naturally resistant to change，you go back to your old habit.A better way is to set your alarm one minute earlier every day.After two months you are getting up an hour earlier and you will not even notice the change. （说你的目标是每天早起一小时。有一天，你开始提前一个小时设置闹钟，并保持一周。然后，因为你天生抗拒改变，你又回到了旧习惯。更好的方法是每天提前一分钟设置闹钟。两个月后，你会早起一小时，你甚至不会注意到变化。）可知，这一段介绍改变坏习惯需要一点点做。选项A"关键是一次改变一点点。"和下文意思一致。故选A。
（3）联系上文题。根据上文A better way is to set your alarm one minute earlier every day.After two months you are getting up an hour earlier and you will not even notice the change. （更好的方法是每天提前一分钟设置闹钟。两个月后，你会早起一小时，你甚至不会注意到变化。）可知，坏习惯要一点点改变，所以需要的时间应该会很长。选项C"这可能需要更长的时间，但通过这种方法，你很可能会成功。"和上文意思一致。故选C。
（4）联系上文题。根据上文This approach can work for just about anything.If you are exercising for half an hour every day and you want to increase that time to one hour then add a minute every day.After one month you will have reached your goal with very little resistance from your body and mind. （这种方法几乎适用于任何事情。如果你每天锻炼半小时，你想把时间增加到一小时，那么每天增加一分钟。一个月后，你的身体和思想几乎没有抵抗力，你就达到了目标。）可知，这一段进一步讲述一点点改变坏习惯的好处。选项F"慢慢地改变会消除我们必须改变的最大障碍：恐惧。"和上文意思一致。故选F。
（5）联系上文题。根据上文This method of change is gentle，but very powerful.Think of everything you can accomplish if you just continuously improve a little at a time.The change itself creates the momentum （动力） you need to keep going. （这种改变的方法是温和的，但非常强大。想想如果你一次只不断进步一点点，你能完成的一切。变化本身创造了你继续前进所需的动力。）可知，这一段是用鼓励性的语言总结一点点温和改变坏习惯的好处。选项G"很快你就会发现自己在几乎没有痛苦的情况下实现了目标。"呼应上文讲温和改变坏习惯的好处。故选G。

I have lived in rural America for nine years, first in Michigan, where I got my PhD; then in central Illinois and now in Indiana, where I am a professor. In a place where most people have lived the whole of their lives, I feel like a stranger.
There are few things I enjoy more than complaining about my geographic isolation (隔离). Iˈm a vegetarian, so there's nowhere to go for a nice dinner that isn’t 50 miles away. I'm black, so there’s nowhere to get my hair done that doesn't involve another 50-mile drive. And the closest major airport is two hours away.
I recite these gripes（抱怨）to my friends. We all have grand ideas about what life would be like if only we did that, or lived there. And there’s this: I really don't intend to change most of the things I complain about. Griping is seductive on those days when happiness requires too much energy. But it also makes me lose sight of the fact that I was born and grew up in Nebraska and have lived most of my life in one of the plains states. When I go to the coasts, I am struck by how unappealing big-city living can be.
While I may not love where I live, there are plenty of people who are proud to call this place home. At a party with colleagues, I was going on about everything I couldn't stand in our town when I noticed that they were silent and shifting uncomfortably. That moment forced a change in me.
Complaining may offer relief, but so does acceptance. There is no perfect life. By focusing on gripes, I risk missing out on precious moments of appreciation. When I get home, I stand on my balcony (阳台), look into the night sky and see the stars. I know that I have absolutely nothing to complain about.
4. What causes the author's loneliness?
A. Dietary habits. B. Racial prejudice.
C. Educational differences. D. Identity confusion.
5. What does the underlined word “seductive” mean in paragraph 3?
A. Attractive. B. Temporary. C. Violent. D. Flexible.
6. How might the author feel about himself when the atmosphere changed at a party?
A. Humbled. B. Angry. C. Touched. D. Calm.
7. What does the author realize in the end?
A. Every day is beautiful.
B. When in Rome, do as the Romans do.
C. Human must value lives themselves.
D. Don't be penny wise and pound foolish.
C
The rhino census（犀牛普查）is out，bearing good news for the greater one-homed rhinos!In September，2022，the International Rhino Foundation （IRF） documented in a report that there is a baby boom in this population，representing an increase of 167 percent.
According to the report，there are a total of 4，014 greater one-horned rhinos living in India，Nepal，and Bhutan.Although this is positive news，their IUCN （International Union for Conservation of Nature） status still remains vulnerable.
In India alone，the home to 70 percent of the world's greater one-homed rhinos，there was an increase of 274 rhinos since the last biannual census，according to the organization Rhino Review.
An important reason for this baby boom is the fact that Assam，India，has enlarged Kaziringo National Park，home to the world's largest one-homed rhino population.The park went from 430 square kilometers to 1，040 square kilometers.This gives more breeding areas for the rhinos，and they are closed to visitors during breeding season.
India and Nepal are also protecting the rhinos by enforcing wildlife crime laws.To reduce rhino death by poaching （偷猎），the IRF donates vehicles and equipment，plus education including guard training and crime investigation.
The IRF data for other rhino species is not as promising，although the greater one-homed rhino numbers are encouraging for future conservation.According to the report，there is a decline in Sumatran rhinos，Africa's white rhinos，while the Javan rhino population is stable and threatened by loss of habitat.
The State of the Rhino report offers hope for these other species.Given that the greater one -- homed rhinos were once close to extinction，with fewer than 100 living in the world，their recovery is incredible.This demonstrates that there are solutions when organizations and people work together.Let us hope that this successful rhino baby boom will affect other endangered wildlife species around the globe.
8. What contributes to the baby boom of one-homed rhinos in Assam，India？ ______
A. Extending the protected areas for rhinos.
B. Raising fund to set up more reserves for rhinos.
C. Leaving the one-homed rhinos alone in the wild.
D. Keeping visitors away from the Kaziringo National Park.
9. How does IRF help protect the one-homed rhinos？ ______
A. By cooperating with other organizations.
B. By enhancing anti-poaching efforts.
C. By transferring the rhinos to other habitats.
D. By guarding the rhinos with new equipment.
10. What can we learn from the rhino report？ ______
A. Rhinos are no longer a vulnerable species.
B. Rhinos will affect other wildlife in the world.
C. Everyone can play a role in protecting nature.
D. It is possible to protect other endangered species.
11. What is the purpose of this text？ ______
A. To inform good news on the greater one-homed rhinos.
B. To show the measures taken to protect the one-homed rhinos.
C. To introduce an endangered species-the greater one-homed rhinos.
D. To indicate the decline of other species of rhino population.

The human brain is the most complex and poorly understood biological structure known to man.Our human brain is relatively large for our body size and wrinkled in comparison to other animals' brains.Across species，brain size and wrinkle number is related to intelligence.
University of Copenhagen researchers have made an incredible discovery seeking to learn more about the mammalian （哺乳动物的） brain.A vital enzyme，a special material，allows brain signals to be transmitted or transported.The enzyme is randomly turning on and off，even taking hours-long "breaks from work." These discoveries could have a significant impact on our understanding of the brain and the development of medicines.The discovery is featured on the cover of Nature.
Millions of neurons （神经元） are constantly communicating with one another，shaping thoughts and memories and allowing us to move our bodies at will.Neurotransmitters are transported from one neuron to another by a unique enzyme when two neurons meet to exchange a message.
This process is necessary for neuronal communication as well as the survival of all complex organisms （extremely small living things）.Until now，researchers all over the world assumed that these enzymes were constantly active，transmitting vital signals.However，this is not the case.
It is almost impossible to understand that the extremely critical process of loading neurotransmitters in containers is carried out by only one cell per container.Especially when we find that 40%of the time these cells are switched off.
Using a new method，researchers from the Department of Chemistry at the University of Copenhagen closely examined the enzyme and discovered that its activity switches on and off at random periods of time，contradicting our previous understanding.
"Contrary to popular belief，and unlike many other proteins，these enzymes could stop working for minutes to hours.Still，the brains of humans and other mammals are miraculously able to function，" says Professor Dimitrios Stamou，who led the study from the research center at the University of Copenhagen's Department of Chemistry.
12. What is implied in the second paragraph？ ______
A. The enzyme is continuously turning on and off.
B. Enzyme does not affect the transmission of brain signals.
C. No enzyme has been found in the mammalian brain so far.
D. Scientists used to think the special enzyme does not take a break.
13. How could we move our bodies as we like？ ______
A. The communication between neurons happens without stop.
B. We shape our thoughts though we may not have good memories.
C. The newly found unique enzyme is at the most time switched off.
D. Neurotransmitters transport a unique enzyme from one neuron to another.
14. Why do the scientists think the discovery unbelievable？ ______
A. There is enzyme in mammalian brains.
B. Mammalian brains function as human' s.
C. One cell can have such an important function.
D. 40%of the critical cells are actually switched off.
15. What can be the best title for the passage？ ______
A. A Surprising Significant Finding about Mammalian Brains
B. A Very Important Research Led by Professor Dimittrios Stamou
C. Researches on Brains of Animals Being Carried out By Scientists
D. A Completely New Method Employed by the Department of Chemistry

My Father's Son

Nowadays I dream about being a famous writer，but I used to dream about doing something spectacular to impress my father and make him proud of me—something like rescuing a child from a burning building or chasing a robber away from an old lady.
I was daydreaming in school one morning.I was daydreaming about being some kind of hero when my friend Ellen reminded me of my English teacher's announcement about a Father's Day essay contest.
"I hope we have a winner right here in my English class，"she said."There are three prizes for each of you."
When I got home，I kissed my mom quickly.Then I went upstairs to my room and sat down with a pen and a pad of paper.I started to think about what I would write.
How did I sec my father？Hmm.
I saw him teaching me how to use a bat and how to throw a baseball.
I remembered how he hugged me for hours when my dog Spotty was hit and killed by a car.And I remembered how he sat and tried to explain death to me when Grandpa Bob died.
These were the things I was going to write about my dad.To me，he wasn't just a world-famous astronaut.He was my dad.
I wrote about all these memories and put them in my essay.I handed it in the next day and was surprised to find out that the winning essays would be read in the auditorium on Thursday night.All the parents and students were incited.
My parents and I went to school Thursday night.One of our neighbors said，"I bet you'll win the contest，David.I bet you wrote what it's like to be the son of an astronaut，and you're the only one in town who could write about that."
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

focusing on gripes，I risk missing out on precious moments of appreciation.（抱怨可能会让你放松，但接受也一样。没有完美的人生。专注于抱怨，我可能会错过感激的珍贵时刻。）可知，当聚会的气氛发生变化时，作者冷静了，开始思考自己的行为会带来的不良后果。

，...I stand on my balcony，look into the night sky and see the stars.I know that I have absolutely nothing

（2）细节理解题。由本文第五段中的关键句To reduce rhino death by poaching （偷猎），the IRF donates vehicles and equipment，plus education including guard training and crime investigation. （为了减少偷猎造成的犀牛死亡，IRF捐赠了车辆和设备，以及包括警卫培训和犯罪调查在内的教育。）可知IRF在加强对抗偷猎方面做出努力来帮助保护独角犀牛。故选B。
（3）推理判断题。由本文最后一段中的第一句The State of the Rhino report offers hope for these other species. （犀牛情况的报告为类似的其他物种带来了希望。）可知犀牛状况报告为类似其他物种带来了希望。由此推断，保护全球其他濒危野生物种是可能的。故选D。
（4）写作意图题。由本文第一段的第一句The rhino census （犀牛普查） is out，bearing good news for the greater one-horned rhinos! （犀牛普查已经出炉，这对大独角犀牛来说是个好消息！）点明了文章中心。犀牛普查已经结束，为大独角犀牛带来了好消息！由此推断，作者写这篇文章是为了让人们了解关于独角犀牛的这个好消息。故选A。

（5）联系上文题。根据上文This method of change is gentle，but very powerful.Think of everything you can accomplish if you just continuously improve a little at a time.The change itself creates the momentum （动力） you need to keep going. （这种改变的方法是温和的，但非常强大。想想如果你一次只不断进步一点点，你能完成的一切。变化本身创造了你继续前进所需的动力。）可知，这一段是用鼓励性的语言总结一点点温和改变坏习惯的好处。选项G"很快你就会发现自己在几乎没有痛苦的情况下实现了目标。"呼应上文讲温和改变坏习惯的好处。故选G。

解题方法点拨
（1）品读原文，确定文章线索
每篇文章都有各自独特的写作思路，通过精读文章，找到该篇文章的写作线索。如是以时间为线索还是以空间为线索等这样有利于考生"顺藤摸瓜（结尾）"。
（2）仔细审题，明确续写要求
一般短文后面的"注意"都有对此次短文续写的具体要求，如词数限制使用几处标有下划线的关键词语。续写段落的首句提示，这样考生可以做到"心中有数"。
（3）回扣原文，揣摩续写思路
根据文章后面的要求，再次快速阅读短文，抓住文章的思路结合段首的提示语最终确定续写段落的思路。同时结合文章画线词语提示，确定续写段落的内容。
（4）拟写草稿，修改错词病句
在确定了思路和内容之后，最关键的就是结合提示语或者文中画线的关键词拟写草稿。拟写时，注意句子结构的多样性，语言的丰富性，并通过句与句之间连接词的正确使用，使上下文连贯。
