Four Free Mobile Apps to Help You Learn English Faster
Have you realized 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, spellings, spoken and reading skills. It uses interactive games to teach different English lessons and offers new audiobooks, 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).
Duolingo
If 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, the app focuses on helping you learn verbs, phrases and sentences.
Lingbe
If 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.
HelloTalk
HelloTalk 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 over the language. For fluent spoken English learners, you can try out Lingbe or HelloTalk.
1. 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.
2. Which app is the best choice for an English beginner at first?

B. Enjoy the interactive games.
C. Practice your spoken English.
D. Talk with native speakers in the flesh.
【答案】1. D 2. B 3. C

【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段第一句If you want to learn English from scratch, then this is the app you are looking for.最后一句For beginners, the app focuses on helping you learn verbs, phrases and sentences.和文章最后一段If you are a beginner, start from Duolingo可知，如果是从零起学英语应该选Duolingo，它适合初学者，所以B正确。
【3题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段If you are ready to practice your spoken skills in the real-world, you’ll need Lingbe.可知，在Lingbe上可以练习口语，所以C正确。

It’s apparently become a trend in schools around the world to ban students from using the term, “best friends,” according to psychologist Dr. Barbara Greenberg. The movement, which is believed to have started in Prince George's school in South London, isn't intended to discourage close friendships, but rather encourage a wider friend group, Greenberg says.
“Let’s face it. You can’t ban somebody from having a close relationship, and you can’t really ban somebody from having a best friend but what the schools are trying to do is foster the idea of kids having more than a single friend,” Greenberg said.
The idea is to increase the number of interactions a student may have with different members of his or her peer group. “I see kids come in all week long who are feeling awful because they are either nobody’s best friend or their best friend has moved on,” Greenberg says.
Jay Jacobs, who operates Timber Lake Camp in New York, stresses the downside of not fostering multiple relationships at a young age, for exactly that reason. “I think that there are problems in just having one friend,” Jacobs says. “Remember as you grow up, interests change, and children go in different directions.” Jacobs adds that teachers at Timber Lake, which changes positions between Glen Cove in winter and Shandake in summer, have made it a point to promote a more inclusive environment for years.
Jacobs reminds people that, “As you grow up, interests change, and children go in different directions,” so having only one friend can be risky. He holds the belief that children will be better set up for success later in life if they get used to having a wider friend group at a young age. “It’s about promoting kindness, looking to children to be kind to one another and to be aware of what it looks like when you’re not,” Jacobs says.
4. Why do schools ban the term “best friends”?
A. To make students concentrate on their studies.
B. To encourage students to make more friends.
C. To prevent students from falling in love at a young age.
D. To discourage students from having a close relationship.
5. Why are some kids feeling awful according to Greenberg?
A. Their best friends have moved house.
B. They are banned from making best friends.
C. They are under great pressure from study.
D. Their best friends have started new friendships.
6. What does the underlined word “downside” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Mistake. B. Difficulty.
C. Drawback. D. Burden.
7. What would be Jay Jacobs’ attitude to Greenberg’s idea?
A. Supportive. B. Doubtful.
C. Opposed. D. Unconcerned.
【答案】4. B 5. D 6. C 7. A
【解析】
本文为议论文，文章介绍了Greenberg的观点：学生不能只交一个最好的朋友，而应该广交朋友，并进行了说明。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段The movement, which is believed to have started in Prince George’s school in South London, isn’t intended to discourage close friendships, but rather encourage a wider friend group, Greenberg says.可知，禁止使用“最好的朋友”一词是为了鼓励交到更广泛的朋友群，所以B正确。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段I see kids come in all week long who are feeling awful because they are either nobody’s best friend or their best friend has moved on,可知，孩子们感到不高兴要么是因为自己没有最好的朋友要么是自己最好的朋友又去结交别的朋友了，所以D正确。
【6题详解】
词义猜测题。根据后文I think that there are problems in just having one friend,可以推知，没有与多个朋友建立友谊即只有一个朋友是有问题的，所以downside是“缺点”的意思，所以C正确。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段第一句话可知，Jay Jacobs认为只有一个朋友有很多缺点，再根据最后一段Jacobs reminds people that, “As you grow up, interests change, and children go in different directions,” so having only one friend can be risky.可知，Jacobs认为只有一个朋友是很危险的，所以他支持Greenberg的观点，所以A正确。
C
Scientists are trying to save Puerto Rico’s endangered Amazon parrots after Hurricane Maria destroyed the birds’ habitats and food sources(来源).
El Yunque is a large national forest on the eastern part of Puerto Rico. Just two of the 56 wild parrots that once lived there survived Maria, the Category-4 storm that struck Puerto Rico in September 2017. Scientists report other forests have seen great drops in parrot populations as well.
In the 1800s, there were more than a million of the bright green parrots living in the wild in Puerto Rico. By the 1970s, the number was down to just 13 birds after years of forest clearing.
A special program was started in 1972 to help increase the parrot population, which led to the creation of three breeding(繁殖) centers. Just weeks before Hurricane Maria hit, scientists counted 56 wild parrots at El Yunque. That was the highest number in the program’s history. Scientists say that even though several parrots have been born in captivity(笼养) and in the wild since Maria, the species is still in danger.
The Puerto Rican Amazon is the island’s only remaining native parrot. More than 460 of the birds are kept inside the breeding centers at El Yunque and the Rio Abajo forest. Scientists have not released(释放) any of the birds since Hurricane Maria. A third breeding center, in a forest in the western area of Maricao, has not been in operation since the storm.
Scientists are considering whether to catch some of the remaining wild parrots and put them in the same cage as the birds that are set to be released. This way, the captive birds can learn from the wild birds how to survive in the forests. Another consideration is to release some captive parrots in Maricao, which was not as heavily damaged by Maria.
8. Why has the parrot population greatly decreased in the past 200 years?
A. Because of Hurricane Maria.
B. Because of too much hunting.
C. Because of the loss of forests.
D. Because of lack of breeding centers.
9. Which of the following is true about Hurricane Maria?
A. It killed 56 wild parrots at El Yunque.
B. It greatly affected parrots in captivity.
C. It reduced the number of wild parrots.
D. It led to the creation of three breeding centers.
10. What can we infer about Amazon parrots in captivity?
A. They have the highest number in the history.
B. They have been released since Hurricane Maria.
C. They are used to living in the wild.
D. They are larger in number than those in the wild.
11. What is the best title for the text?
A. Scientists Work to Save Puerto Rican Parrots.
B. Amazon Parrots are in Danger of Disappearing.
C. A Special Program Helps Increase the Parrot Population.
D. Hurricane Maria Reduced the Number of Amazon Parrots.
【答案】8. C 9. C 10. D 11. A
【解析】
本文为记叙文。文章主要介绍了科学家在想方设法拯救濒临灭绝的波多黎各鹦鹉。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段In the 1800s, there were more than a million of the bright green parrots living in the wild in Puerto Rico. By the 1970s, the number was down to just 13 birds after years of forest clearing.可知，鹦鹉数量减少的原因是森林被砍伐，也就是森林的消失，所以C正确。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段Just two of the 56 wild parrots that once lived there survived Maria,可知，在飓风Maria中56只野生鹦鹉只有两只幸存，所以C正确。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段Just weeks before Hurricane Maria hit, scientists counted 56 wild parrots at El Yunque. That was the highest number in the program’s history.可知，56只野生鹦鹉是这个特别项目历史上最高的数字，由此可以排除A项。根据文章第五段Scientists have not released(释放) any of the birds since Hurricane Maria.可知，自从Maria飓风以来，科学家没有释放任何鹦鹉，所以B错误。根据最后一段可知科学家在考虑把野外的鹦鹉抓来放到笼子里或释放笼子中的鹦鹉使其适应野外生活，但还没有实施，所以C错误。再根据第五段More than 460 of the birds are kept inside the breeding centers at El Yunque and the Rio Abajo forest.以及第四段Just weeks before Hurricane Maria hit, scientists counted 56 wild parrots at El Yunque. That was the highest number in the program’s history.可知，野外的鹦鹉不如笼子中养的鹦鹉数量多，野外的只有56只，而在繁殖中心有460只，所以D正确。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章第一段揭示了文章的主题，根据文章第一段Scientists are trying to save Puerto Rico’s endangered Amazon parrots after Hurricane Maria destroyed the birds’ habitats and food sources(来源).可知，科学家在想方设法拯救波多黎各鹦鹉，所以A正确。
D
Experts like to say the best form of exercise is whatever kind you’ll actually do. But that may not always be the case; new research finds that people who combine exercise with their social lives may be at an advantage over solitary(独自) exercisers. Tennis, badminton and soccer are all better for longevity(长寿) than cycling, swimming, jogging or gym exercise, according to the research.
The study was based on data from about 8,500 adults who were part of the Copenhagen City Heart Study. They completed a health and lifestyle questionnaire, which included questions about type and frequency of physical activity, and were monitored by the researchers for around 25 years, a period during which about 4,500 of the subjects died.
Tennis came out on top in the research. Compared with people sitting all day, those who reported playing tennis as their main form of exercise could expect to add 9.7 years to their life time, followed by badminton (6.2 years), soccer (4.7 years), cycling (3.7 years), swimming (3.4 years), jogging (3.2 years) and health-club activities (1.5 years).
Tennis likely took the top spot because “it’s very interactive,” says study co-author Dr. James O’Keefe, a physician at Saint Luke’s Mid America Heart Institute. “At every point you’re talking. It’s just a very natural way to emotionally bond with people, besides getting your exercise.” But he adds that the study may not have been able to fully account for the fact that wealthier, better-educated people—who tend to be healthier to begin with—may be more likely to play tennis.
Activities like running and weight lifting still extend your life and offer plenty of other health benefits. But for the best possible benefits, O’Keefe says gym-goers may want to consider combining those workouts with activities that foster social connection.
O’Keefe, whose exercise typically includes running and weight lifting, says he’s even changed his own behavior because of the study: he and his family have taken up badminton.
“You can’t play badminton without feeling like a kid again,” he says. “It’s just pure fun.”
12. Which of the following is best for living a long life?
A. Cycling. B. Badminton.
C. Swimming. D. Gym exercise.
13. How many people were still living at the end of the research?
A. About 8,500. B. About 4,500.
C. About 4000. D. About 2500.
14. What matters most to the result of the research?
A. Family life. B. Social connections.
C. Frequency of exercise. D. Wealth and education.
15. What does O’Keefe do after the finding?
A. He puts the theory into practice.
B. He plays badminton just for fun.
C. He feels like playing badminton with kids.
D. He takes more exercise than before.
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. B 15. A
【解析】

细节理解题。根据第一段Tennis, badminton and soccer are all better for longevity(长寿) than cycling, swimming, jogging or gym exercise, according to the research.可知，网球，羽毛球和足球比骑自行车，游泳，慢跑、体操更有利于长寿，所以B正确。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段The study was based on data from about 8,500 adults who were part of the Copenhagen City Heart Study.可知，参加调查的是8,500人，再根据第二句…and were monitored by the researchers for around 25 years, a period during which about 4,500 of the subjects died.可知，有4500个被研究者去世了，所以研究结束时还有4000人活着，所以选C。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段But for the best possible benefits, O’Keefe says gym-goers may want to consider combining those workouts with activities that foster social connection.可知，想要得到最大的好处，应该把运动与增进人际交往结合起来，所以社会联系很重要，所以选B。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段O’Keefe, whose exercise typically includes running and weight lifting, says he’s even changed his own behavior because of the study: he and his family have taken up badminton.可知，研究发现之后，O’Keefe开始调整自己的运动项目，打羽毛球，所以是将理论运用于实践了，所以A正确。

【41题详解】
考查不定式。此处表示丧失了视力，ability to do“做……的能力”，所以填to see。
【42题详解】
考查形容词。此处作become的表语，用形容词，根据语境可知，她尽力变得独立，所以填independent。
【43题详解】
考查介词。表示持续一段时间，用“for +一段时间”。故填for。
【44题详解】
考查代词。此处作give的宾语，所以用宾格，再根据语境表示运动和体育锻炼给了她机会，所以用her。
【45题详解】
考查定语从句的连接词。句意：她用24小时15分钟穿越了68公里陡峭崎岖的大峡谷，这个时间被认为是盲人徒步者创造的纪录。所以空格处指的是前面的时间，所以先行词是时间，从句缺主语，又因为是非限定性定语从句，所以用关系代词which。
【46题详解】
考查比较级。此处表示早先的纪录是在2014年创立的，所以表示“早在……之前”，用earlier。
【47题详解】
考查被动语态。根据时间状语2014可知，用一般过去时，根据语境可知，纪录是被建立，所以用过去式的被动语态was set。
【48题详解】
考查名词复数。句意：她的朋友们引导和警告她障碍。障碍不止一个，所以要用复数barriers。
【49题详解】
考查过去分词。分析句子成分可知，本句谓语为listened and followed，所以wear要用作非谓语，修饰bell，再根据“铃”与“带着”是被动关系，所以用过去分词。故填worn。
【50题详解】
考查冠词。句意：她在接近旅途结束时说。旅途是特指这次旅途，所以trip 前要加the。
【点睛】此题的第一小题考查不定式作定语。在英语中有些名词，如：ability，ambition，attempt，chance，courage，desire，decision，effort，failure，moment，promise，right，time，wish等一些表示企图，努力，愿望，打算，能力等的名词后只能用不定式作定语，因此ability后用to see。

I’m writing to complain about the quality of the computer which I purchase from your store on January 1, 2019. It unexpected went wrong a few days late. The monitor turned out to be a black screen. I read through accompanying instructions, and tried my best restart the computer several time, but it still failed to work. However, I’m sure there is something wrong for the computer. I am hoping if you can direct me to a store where I may return it for a new replacement within the next three days. Since your store has been gained a good reputation for customer satisfaction, I’m confidence that you will process my complaint at your earliest convenience.
【答案】
【解析】
【分析】
本文为投诉信。介绍了作者新买的电脑出现的问题并希望商家给予解决。
【详解】第一处：考查时态。根据后文on January 1, 2019可知，购买是过去的动作，要用一般过去时purchased。故purchase改成purchased。
第二处：考查副词。此处修饰谓语went，所以要用副词unexpectedly，表示没有想到。故unexpected改成unexpectedly。
第三处：考查副词使用。a few days later几天后，later作时间副词表示“随后，稍后”，late作表示“迟到的，晚的”。故late改为later。
第四处：考查固定搭配。try one’s best to do意为“尽力做某事”，所以restart前要加to。
第五处：考查名词单复数错误。此处表示多次想重启，time表次数是可数名词，由several修饰，要用复数times。故把time改为times。
第六处：考查连接副词。根据语境可知电脑出故障了，而且启动不了，因此作者确定一定是电脑出故障了，前后为因果关系，“因此”用therefore，故把however改为therefore。
第七处：考查固定搭配。there is something wrong with“……出故障”，不用for。故for改为with。
第八处：考查连词错误。此处为hope的宾语从句，根据语境可知，作者希望能告诉自己去一家商店换新的。从句不缺句子成分，不缺意思，所以用that，不用if，that也可以省略。
第九处：考查主被动的错误。句意：因为你的商店在顾客满意方面享有很好的声誉。your store与gain是主动关系，不是被动，所以been去掉。
第十处：考查形容词错误。此处做am的表语，表示有信心，所以用形容词confident，故把confidence改为confident。
【点睛】此题的第三小题主要考查late与later的区别
late的用法归纳
1. 表示“迟”“晚”，可用作形容词和副词。
She told me that she would be late. 她告诉我她会迟到。
He came in the late afternoon [late in the afternoon]. 他傍晚才来。
2. 用于be late(in) doing sth、be late with sth、be late for意为“做某事做晚了或做迟了”“做……迟到”，如：
He was late(in) getting up this morning. 今天早上他起床起得迟了。
I’ve never been late for work. 我上班从来没迟到过。
3. 表示迟到多久，一般用“一段时间+late”。如：
The train was five minutes late. 火车晚点了5分钟。
The bus arrived ten minutes late. 公共汽车迟到了10分钟。
later的用法归纳
1. 用作形容词和副词late的比较级。如
It’s rather later than I thought. 这比我想的还要晚。
2. 用于一段具体时间之后，表示从过去或将来算起的多长时间以后，但通常不指从现在算起的多久以后。如：
I’ll call her on march 5 and will call again a week later. 我将在3月5日给她打个电话，过一周后我将再打个电话。
3. 用于later on，表示“以后”“后来”，可用于过去或将来。如：
We’ll discuss the matter later on. 我们以后将讨论这件事。
4. sooner or later为习语，意为“迟早”，注意其词序不能倒过来。如：
Sooner or later you’ll have to make a decision. 你早晚得拿个主意。
本题运用到later的第二个用法：用于一段具体时间之后，表示从过去或将来算起的多长时间以后，但通常不指从现在算起的多久以后。而“一段时间+late”表示迟到多久，所以用later不用late。
