In many ways, learning a foreign language has never been easier-online language apps and courses have flooded the market in the last decade.

Of course, different people have different goals for learning a new language. While someone may want to learn basic conversational skills in Japanese to be able to communicate during a vacation to Tokyo, someone else might strive for fluency to communicate real-world business deals overseas. Your level of existing language skills and learning style can also be factors in determining which language app is best for you.

After reviewing the features, value, and customer success stories, we believe Rosetta Stone is the best overall for most people.

In 2010, my mother-in-law gave me her rather simple but graceful, antique “secretary desk”. The desk easily fit into the tiny room at the top of the stairs.I felt so secure and confident when I sat down and began each writing session. Despite the desk’s appeal,its limited storage capacity meant that I often put file folders and books on the small floor space around me. After each writing session, I painstakingly gathered the tools of the trade and placed them on a nearby shelfuntil the next session.

A few years into my writing journey, we moved into a bigger home, and I acquired my own office My husband,  Bill, offered on more than one occasion to buy me a new desk, but I ignored his offer

One day, we stopped at the local office supply store.Bill found what he thought was the perfect desk for me.“I want to buy this for you, sweetie. My writer needs a bigger desk,” He hugged me.

“Thanks, but I don't want a bigger desk!” I said

“Why don't you want a bigger desk?” he said, “You must be afraid of something.’

“I’m not afraid of anything,”I said, “like I said, I really like my little desk. So don’t ask me again.”

He didn’t. A few weeks later, while working in my new office, I looked around at the folders, books and papers lying all over my office floor but couldn’t find what was needed to meet a contest deadline My heart raced.I looked around my office. The room basically swallowed the tiny desk, making it look slightly out of place. Maybe I did need a bigger desk. Was Bill right? Was I afraid of something?

Unable to write,I pulled C.JoyBell C.’s book of poetry, All Things Dance Like Dragonflies(蜻蜓) from the bookshelf. I flipped through its pages, and her words about faith jumped off the page into my heart. She talked about how she had trained herself to love the feeling of not knowing where she was going, and just trusting that as she opened up her wings and flew off in an unknown direction, things would work out.

At that moment, I recognised that a bigger desk symbolised bigger possibilities, stepping out in faith， and leaving my comfort zone

24. What was the limitation of the “secretary desk”?

A.It was a bit small in size. B. It was too old to be functional 

C. It competed with the shelf for room  D. It prevented the author focusing on writing 25. When did the author want to buy a new desk?

A.After she was stuck in a mess B. When she finished writing a book.

C.When she moved into a bigger house. D. After she missed an important contest.

26. What was the author afraid of before?

A.Unemployment. B.Uncertainty. C. Lack of trust. D. Loss of inspiration. 

27. What would be the best title of the passage?

A.My Lifelong Faith          B.My Writing Journey 

C.On the Desk of Fate       D.On the Wings of Change

There are many ways to help improve your health like eating healthy food, taking exercise and getting medical help. But the easiest and cheapest way to improve your health is just to sleep eight hours or more every night.The general sleeping rule is that the younger you are, the longer sleep you need. But regardless of(不管)age，some people need to sleep more while for some a few hours is enough.

The problem with sleep is that more and more people in the world are not sleeping enough. According to the World Health Organization, over half the people in the world maybe sleep-deprived. Having less sleep not only makes people feel tired but also causes accidents. In the United States alonesleepy drivers cause at least 100 000 traffic accidents a year. Also sleep problems can cause medical problems such as high blood pressure(血压).

Why are so many people sleep-deprived?Part of the reasons may be cultural.In the American culture,people put a higher value on work than on sleep.In factpeople who sleep a lot are usually seen as“lazy”.Also,you can sometimes hear some people say proudly that they don’t have much time to sleep,theyonlysleep four or five hours a night. It seems that the less you sleepthe more work you'll do.

How do we teach these people to learn the value of sleep?Perhaps they may listen to the advice of Dr. James Maas, an expert(专家)in sleep. He says,“Sleep is like a credit(信用) card.When you sleep less, you are onlyborrowing time.You always have to pay it back.The more hours you don’t sleep,the more hours you should sleep to 'pay back’the hours on your'sleep credit card’."

For those who value work more than sleep, they should listen to what a famous person once said,“Don’t think you will be doing less work because you sleep during the night. That is a foolish(愚蠢的)idea which is held by people who have no imagination. You will be able to do more.

28. According to the writer, the easiest and cheapest way to improve health is

to           .

A. eat healthy food every day

B.take exercise as much as possible

C. get medical help whenever necessary

D. sleep eight hours or more every night

A. An hour.         B. A report. 

C. A credit card.     D. A piece of paper.t 

31.What is the best title of the passage?

A .The Value of Sleep        B .The Value of Study

C.The Ways of Eating Less    D.The Ways of Making Money

The over 48,000 orange trees in Seville,Spain, not only fill the city’s air with the pleasant smell of orange blossoms in spring, but they also produce over 16,500 tons of fruit every winter. Though that makes the capital of southern Spain’s Andalusia region Europe’s top orange-producing city, the fruit is too sour to be consumed(消耗、饮) fresh.While some of the produce is used to make orange jam and an alcoholic drink, most of it ends up in Seville’s landfills(填埋场). However, that may change soon thanks to a clever idea to use the oranges to produce clean energy.

The trial programme is being launched by the city’s council and park department in cooperation with Emasesa, Seville’s water supply and sanitation(卫生)division. Juice from 38.6 tons of oranges will be left to ferment(发酵)in a specialised facility.The methane(甲烷) released from the fermented liquid will be captured and used to drive a generator to produce clean power. The officials estimdke the test run will produce about 1,500 kWh of energy-enough to run one of Emasesa’s water purification plants. To ensure there is no waste, the orange skins, peels, and flesh will be used as fertiliser

“It’s not just about saving money. The oranges are a problem for the city, and we're producing added value from waste,” said Benigno Lopez, head of Emasesa’s environmental department.

If successful, by 2023, the city hopes to recycle all the oranges and add the electricity produced back into its power transmission network.In trial runs, one ton of oranges produced 50 kWh of clean energy - enough to cover the daily electricity needs of five homes. The project team estimates that if all the fruit is recycled, it will produce enough energy to power as many as 73,000 residences.

“This project will help us to reach our targets for reducing emissions,energy self-sufficiency, and the circular economy,”Juan Espadas Cejas, mayor of Seville, said in the press conference announcing the trial scheme.

32. What do we know about oranges in Seville?

A.They are usually picked in spring

B.They are not recommended to be eaten fresh.

C. They are mostly used to make jams and juice.

D. They make Seville the world’s top orange-producing city.

33. What is the second paragraph mainly about?

A.Different uses of Seville oranges

B.Ways to produce power from juice.

C.An introduction to the trial programme.

D. Reasons for launching the trial programme.

34. What can we infer from the passage?

A.The energy produced will be used to purify water.

B. Seville hasn’t carried out the trial programme yet.

C. The electricity produced will go to Seville’s power plants.

D.14,600 tons of recycled oranges are needed to power 73,000 homes

35. What is the best title for the text?

A.Seville Is Developing New Energy

B.Seville Is Turning Waste into Wealth

C.Seville Is Seeking Market for Oranges

D. Seville Is Contributing to Energy Saving

Accents are an important part of our identity. An accent gives clues about who we are, and the

community we belong to or wish to belong to. 36

What is the difference between accents and pronunciation?

Accents are about localised ways of speaking a language. A French person may speak English flawlessly (完美无瑕地), just with a French accent.  37   However, pronunciation is something that –as a learner – you can get right or wrong. If your pronunciation is correct, you can communicate effectively with others whatever your accent is.

38     .

If you think back historically, people were much more localised with generation after generation of families living in the same small villages and few people travelled out of that area during their lifetimes. So, over many generations differences in accent emerged and became very distinct to particular areas. Mountainous villages that are not easily accessible often develop very strong and distinctive accents.

How important is it to get an accent right?

If you’re moving to a certain part of a country, you might want to integrate better with your new community.   39   That’s because it shows a sense of belonging to the community you are trying to fit in with.

How can you improve your accent?

40     And then learners should consider which sounds exist in the language you’re learning and then spend some time in front of the mirror practicing moving your tongue and mouth to get those new and different sounds. And learners should be aware of stress and tone, which can sometimes even change the meaning of words.

A. Where do accents and pronunciation emerge?

B. Where do different types of accents come from?

C. The best way is to learn the specific accent of that region.

D. They’re also important for those learning a new language.

E. That’s fine because there is no right or wrong with an accent.

F. Try to adapt your speech to sound more like the locals’speech.

G. Learners should first think about which sounds don’t exist in your native language.

Jonny took his dog, Scruffy, out for a walk on a cold day in December. He bundled up in his heavy winter coat and put on his thick wool cap before he said goodbye to his mom. Out de the front door, the whole world was like a winter wonderland: there were icicles(冰柱) hanging from tree branches and snow banks that rose all the way up to Jonny’s knees. Scruffy was excited to be outside,digging in the snow and jumping into snow. Jonny was also glad to be out in the cold air.The snowstorm that left all this snow had continued for two days, and he hadn’t been allowed to go outside, even just to catch some air!

They walked through Jonny’s neighborhood, passing people who looked glad to be outside, too. A few blocks down, Jonny saw his friend Marcus building a snowman with his sister, Marie.

“Hi, Marcus!" Jonny called out.He walked over to the snowman.

“Hey, Jonny. You want to help?” Marcus was patting the bottom part of the snowman ith his glove, while Marie was rolling together the second section of the snowman, packing the snow together to make sure it stayed in a round shape.

Jonny walked over and wrapped Scruffy's leash (皮带)around Marcus's mailbox. To- gether, Jonny, Marcus, and Marie built an amazing snowman.They made a long pointy nose the snowman, and designed eyes out of green apples Marie found in the house. They made e snowman's arms out of two longer sticks, setting them up to make it look like he was wa ving. Sometimes Jonny would look over whether Scruffy would be digging again, but he mostly sat patiently, watching Jonny,Marcus, and Marie work.

When they were all done, Marcus and Marie's mom came outside to see their work.“This is an amazing snowman!” she said. “Does anyone want hot chocolate?”注意:
