With the new semester about to start, our school is welcoming a group of new international students. We have some apps here with an English version that will make your life easier. We hope you will have a wonderful life here.

★WeChat

WeChat is now the most popular social media app in China. Almost everyone is using WeChat. You can send both text and voice messages on WeChat. You can also make voice and video calls. You can also post texts, pictures and video clips. If your friends in your home country have this app, you can also chat with them through voice or video. WeChat is also widely used now as a form of payment which can be used in stores, online, and in other shopping apps.

★Alipay

Alipay is a similar app to PayPal. It was first used on Taobao and now people can use it as a mobile payment option. You can even use mobile payment at street vendors, so if you have this app, you can leave your wallet at home.

★Didi

Now Didi seems to be the smartest way to travel around. With one tap, a car comes directly to you. Didi is a Chinese car-hailing service app. It has a function called “ride sharing”, which saves a lot of money for passengers, but it does not have an English version, so if you want to use it, you will have to learn some Chinese.

★Pleco

This is one of the top Chinese/English dictionary apps and it covers 130,000 Chinese words and includes 20,000 example sentences with pinyin. It is perfect for those who want to learn Chinese, and also for tourists who need to translate words or phrases from English to Chinese.

In my childhood, my mother spent her evening hours doing something for someone else. Sometimes she knitted (编织) hats for babies, and at other times, she cooked chicken soup for sick neighbors. Therefore, I wasn’t surprised when one evening my mother announced she had undertaken a new project.

“I am going to telephone seniors（老年人）,” said my mother. “Every night? But you don’t even know these people.” “It doesn’t matter,” she said, “What’s important is that I listen.”

I was sixteen years old and couldn’t understand why my mother was willing to spend her evenings talking to strangers. She had friends and my two older sisters to call if she felt lonely. “They will talk your ear off. Some people didn’t even stop to catch breath.” I said.

My attitude didn’t stop my mother’s enthusiasm（热情） for the project. That evening, she settled on the sofa and dialed（拨）. When she finished the call, I said, “Why do you care whether she had cookies or rice pudding for dessert? ” My mother grasped one of my hands and said in a proud tune, “I’m the only person she talked to today.”

It took me more than thirty years to fully understand the meaning of that statement. Now, as my mother is near eighty, I find myself thinking about those nightly calls she used to make. I am often the only person who telephones my mother, and sometimes I’m the only person she speaks to all day. I ask her what she cooked for dinner, but mostly I just listen as she describes a walk she took, or how her dog Lucky stole foods from the refrigerator. I realize that my mother’s calls were life lines that ensured housebound seniors remained connected to the world. Without her, their world would have been empty.

24. What is the mother’s purpose of calling the seniors?

A. To know what they eat.         B. To ask for some cookies and pudding.

C. To relieve their loneliness.      D. To teach them how to make desserts.

25. What does the underlined part in paragraph 2 probably mean?

A. Hurt your hearing.       B. Blame others’ behaviors.

C. Miss important information.     D. Speak all the time.

26. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? 

A. The author started to telephone seniors as her mother.

B. The author realized the value of her mother’s efforts.

C. The author’s mother preferred to live alone.

D. The author’s mother still keeps connected with the seniors.

27. What is the suitable title for the passage?

A. Seniors’ blessing        B. A new project 

C. Nightly calls, lifeline calls   D. Call your parents often

C

Some high school students think it useless to receive higher education. Therefore, they choose not to go to college. If you' re one of them, think again. Here are some reasons why you should go to college and receive a good education there.

Schools and universities are the first places to get knowledge. We take that knowledge later on to build our careers after graduation. More knowledge will be gained after you start working, but without education, that job will not be within easy reach. Knowledge leads to knowledge.

While limited within the walls of the educational places, we openly explore other cultures of the world! We come to know that ours is not the only culture. Other cultures have valuable things to share, enriching our own. Education also makes us want to travel and exchange with various cultures, getting more experience.

When there's a recession in the economy（经济）, those who attended college will be more likely to find a new job than those who only finished high school and have a limited skills set. The more education you have, the more chances you will get to improve the quality of your life as you have a better job and earn a higher salary.

When you're skillful and knowledgeable, you gain access to people of similar backgrounds and tastes. It means a good education leads to excellent networking. Good networking can benefit you a lot in your later life.

 A good education makes you a more interesting person. You can talk about ideas and events instead of just other people and what's on sale in stores. An educated person doesn't gossip（说闲话）, having a preference to discuss ideas and listen to what other people have to say.

28. What can we learn about college education from Paragraph 2?

A. It offers you a chance to study abroad.       

B. It can allow you to gain more knowledge.

C. It can improve the quality of your daily life.  

D. It encourages you to travel around the world.

29. What does the underlined word “recession” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?

A. change.     B. drop.      C. growth.       D. support.

30. How can one benefit from a good education?

A. You can gossip about others' affairs.    

B. You are likely to study well at school.

C. You can work well with your coworkers.    

D. You get to know excellent people with similar interests.

31. What is the main idea of the passage?

A. The benefits of attending college.    

B. The exchange with other cultures.

C. The access to good networking.      

D. The ways of college education.

D

    The elderly residents (居民) in care homes in London are being given hens（母鸡） to look after to stop them feeling lonely.

    The project was dreamed up by a local charity (慈善组织) to reduce loneliness and improve elderly people's wellbeing(幸福). It is also being used to help patients suffering dementia（痴呆）, a serious illness of the mind. Staff in care homes have reported a reduction in the use of medicine where hens are in use.

    Among those taking part in the project is 80-year-old Ruth Xavier. She said: "I used to keep hens when I was younger and had to prepare their breakfast each morning before I went to school.

    "I like the project a lot. I am down there in my wheelchair in the morning letting the hens out and down there again at night to see they've gone to bed.

    "It's good to have a different focus. People have been bringing their children in to see the hens and residents come and sit outside to watch them. I'm enjoying the creative activities, and it feels great to have done something useful."

    There are now 700 elderly people looking after hens in 20 care homes in the North East, and the charity has been given financial support to roll it out（推出） countrywide. 

    Wendy Wilson, extra care manager at 60 Penfold Street, one of the first to embark on the project, said: "Residents really welcome the idea of the project and the creative sessions. We are looking forward to the benefits and fun the project can bring to people here." 

    Lynn Lewis, director of Notting Hill Pathways, said: "We are happy to be taking part in the project. It will really help connect our residents through a shared interest and creative activities."

32. What is the purpose of the project?

A. To ensure harmony（和谐） in care homes.      

B. To provide part-time jobs for the aged.

C. To raise money for medical research.             

D. To promote the elderly people's welfare.

33. How has the project affected Ruth Xavier?

A. She has learned new life skills.                  

B. She has gained a sense of achievement.

C. She has recovered her memory.                 

D. She has developed a strong personality.

34. What do the underlined words "embark on" mean in paragraph 7?

A. Improve.         B. Oppose.           C. Begin.   D. Evaluate.

35. What can we learn about the project from the last two paragraphs?

A. It is well received.                        B. It needs to be more creative.

C. It is highly profitable.                     D. It takes ages to see the results.

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

    Fitness Magazine recently ran an article titled "Five Reasons to Thank Your Workout Partner." One reason was: "You'll actually show up if you know someone is waiting for you at the gym," while another read: "36_____" With a workout partner, you will increase your training effort as there is a subtle (微妙) competition.

    So, how do you find a workout partner?

    My partner posted her request on the notice board of a local park. Her notice included what kind of training she wanted to do, how many days a week and how many hours she wanted to spend on each session, and her age. It also listed her favorite sports and activities, and provided her phone number. 39_____

    You and your partner will probably have different skills. 40_____ Over time, both of you will benefit — your partner will be able to lift more weights and you will become more physically fit. The core (核心) of your relationship is that you will always be there to help each other.

After 22 years of marriage, I have discovered the secret to keep love alive in my relationship with my wife, Peggy. I started dating (约会)with another woman.

It was Peggy’s idea. One day she said to me, “Life is too short, you need to spend time with the people you love. You probably won’t believe me, but I know you love her and I think that if the two of you spend more time together, it will make us closer.”

The “other” woman my wife was encouraging me to date(约会) is my mother, a 72-year-old widow(寡妇) who has lived alone since my father died 20 years ago. Right after his death, I moved 2, 500 miles away to California and started my own life and career. When I moved back near my hometown six years ago, I promised myself that I would spend more time with Mom. But with the demands of my job and three kids, I never got around to seeing her much beyond family get-togethers and holidays.

Mom was surprised when I called and suggested the two of us go out to dinner.

“What’s wrong?” she asked.

“I thought it would be nice to spend some time with you,” I said. “Just the two of us.”

“I would like that a lot,” she said.

When I pulled into her driveway, she was waiting by the door with her coat on. Her hair was curled, and she was smiling. “I told my friends I was going out with my son, and they were all impressed. They can’t wait to hear about our evening,” Mom said.
