Friends are very important to us. Sometimes we just want to develop some new friendships. Here are some of the best apps for you to make new friends.
Atleto
Research shows that exercising with a friend promotes more motivation and healthier lifestyle habits. Atleto is an app that builds on this “exercise contagion (传染)” phenomenon by bringing together athletic people to take exercise and organize group activities. You can choose from over 40 sports and find your community of people who like to be in a sweat.
Friender
Studies show that we’re eager to find people similar to us. Suppose you’re sick of boring surface-level conversations. Then, Friender solves that problem quickly with an algorithm (算法) that only matches you based on your favorite activities and interests. This friend-finding app makes it easy to get into conversations that you care about. If you don’t have many hobbies to type into an app, one of the easiest ways to start is to try out new hobbies.
PawDate
Dogs are great companions, but sometimes it’s nice to talk to humans, too. This app connects pet owners to meet up at dog parks or walk with their pups. You get to set up doggie play dates and find new friends at the same time It’s a win-win.
Skout
Skout started back in 2007 to help people make new friends. The matches are based on geographical distances and preferences.

To develop one’s taste in English, the most effective way is to read English books widely. Yet one may be at a loss to choose the proper books, especially as a beginner. As a native Spanish, I would like to share some of my reading experience.
My first English novel was Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice, recommended by many English teachers and professors as an ideal book for English learners. But my experience was somewhat horrible. I had great difficulty in understanding the novel, let alone enjoying it. It’s not the vocabulary that troubled me, but rather the way Austen constructs sentences, and her way of thinking, which seemed rather unfamiliar to me at that time. My fading enthusiasm was much recovered after reading Hemingway’s novel---A Farewell to Arms. No long and puzzling sentences. And I particularly liked his brief style. So my first suggestion is, as a beginner, you’d better choose modern novels instead of classical ones.
However, if you limit yourself to novels, you will miss a lot of treasures. Besides, English essays also play a key role. They can at once inform you, entertain you, and improve your taste in English. The best example is Bertrand Russell’s work. Its language is plain, yet you cannot help feeling the elegance (优雅) and the special sense of humor. His simple language enables his philosophy within the reach of ordinary people. Therefore, here comes my second suggestion — essays are also vital.
Never follow others’ recommendations and opinions blindly, however famous or influential the person might be. We should be open to various ideas, but always think independently and determine for ourselves. As a saying goes, one man’s meat is another man’s poison. With that in mind, we are bound to find out our favorite writers through reading and develop our fine taste in English.
4. What made the first English novel that the author read hard to understand?
A. Difficult conversations.
B. The old-fashioned vocabulary.
C. Not knowing the social background.
D. Sentences and Austen’s way of thinking.
5. What advice does the author give in the last paragraph?
A. Compare books before buying.
B. Read books that are influential.
C. Don’t blindly follow others’ choices.
D. Choose books that challenge us most.
6. What is the author’s purpose of writing the passage?
A. Give comments on literature works.
B. Tell beginners how to choose English books.
C. Encourage people to read more English books.
D. Recommend first class books to English learners.
【答案】4. D 5. C 6. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者认为要学好英语必须要广泛阅读英语书籍,并结合自身经历给出了一些选择英语书籍的建议。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“It’s not the vocabulary that troubled me, but rather the way Austen constructs sentences, and her way of thinking, which seemed rather unfamiliar to me at that time.(困扰我的不是词汇,而是奥斯汀的造句方式,以及她的思维方式,这在当时对我来说似乎相当陌生)”可知,让作者读的第一部英文小说难以理解的是奥斯汀的造句方式和思维方式。故选D。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段的“Never follow others’ recommendations and opinions blindly, however famous or influential the person might be. We should be open to various ideas, but always think independently and determine for ourselves. As a saying goes, one man’s meat is another man’s poison.(永远不要盲目听从别人的建议和意见,不管这个人多么有名或有影响力。我们应该对各种各样的想法持开放态度,但总是独立思考并为自己做决定。俗话说,一个人的美味是另一个人的毒药)”可知,作者建议不要盲目地听从别人的建议和意见。故选C。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“To develop one’s taste in English, the most effective way is to read English books widely.(要培养一个人的英语品味,最有效的方法是广泛阅读英语书籍)”和“As a native Spanish, I would like to share some of my reading experience.(作为一个土生土长的西班牙人,我想分享一些我的阅读经验)”和第二段中“ So my first suggestion is, as a beginner, you’d better choose modern novels instead of classical ones.(所以我的第一个建议是,作为一个初学者你最好选择现代而非经典小说)”可知,作者认为,要培养一个人的英语品味,最有效的方法就是广泛阅读英语书籍。结合下文中作者分享的阅读经验和给初学者的一些建议可知,本文的写作目的是告诉初学者如何选择英语书籍。故选B。

Once upon a time, researchers dreamed of building a robot storyteller. It would not only entertain (娱乐) young children, but also help them learn well. This dream has come true. The robot is called Tega. It is cute and appears to be useful in increasing young children’s language skills. Developed by a team at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Tega sounds like a child, makes its body and face full of life while storytelling and explains the tales on a screen with pictures.
In an eight-week experiment, Tega read picture books to 67 children aged from 4 to 6 in weekly meetings lasting an hour. During the meetings, Tega asked questions to have knowledge of the listeners’ language skills, tested them on a word’s meaning or asked them to describe a character. For example, Tega asked, “What do you think will happen to the boy?” Tega also recorded the facial expressions and body positions of the children to see how interested they were. For example, keeping the body forward was considered a good sign. After the book was finished, the children retold the story to Tega in their own words.
One group of kids played with a personalized version (版本) of the robot, which improved each time it interacted with the kids, learning about their language skills from the conversations they had. For this group, Tega chose which book to read based on what it thought would be most suitable for the children’s language level. Every second time, Tega would replace (替换) several words in the story for these children with more difficult words with similar meanings, such as “clamour” in place of “noise”.
A second group interacted with a non-personalized Tega that remembered the children each week, but chose stories to read at random (随机的) from its library of 81 picture books. For this group, the story difficulty increased every two weeks. A third group of kids didn’t interact with Tega at all.
Several weeks after the last meeting, the team found that all the children who played with Tega had increased their vocabularies (词汇), but the personalized group learned the most words. Their error rate on a vocabulary test dropped by 23 percent, almost double that of the non-personalized group. The stories that the children told back to the personalized robot were also longer and more wonderful, says team member Hae Won Park.
7. What do we know about Tega?
A. It has a voice of an adult.
B. It is connected to the Internet.
C. It can tell stories in a lively way.
D. It is mainly designed to entertain kids.
8. Why did Tega ask questions during the meetings?
A. To keep the kids interested.
B. To help kids better understand a story.
C. To know about the kids’ language skills.
D. To encourage the kids to think independently.
9. What do the results of the experiment show?
A. Children enjoy telling back stories to Tega.
B. Young kids really love interacting with others.
C. The robot needs to be improved to work better.
D. The personalized version of the robot helps kids most.
10. What is the text mainly about?
A. A new invention for kids.
B. A personalized teaching method.
C. A new way to increase kids’ vocabularies.
D. A study carried out by researchers recently.

The stories that the children told back to the personalized robot were also longer and more wonderful, says team member Hae Won Park. (在最后一次集会几周后,研究小组发现,所有和Tega一起玩的孩子的词汇量都增加了,但个性化小组学到了最多的单词。他们在词汇测试中的错误率下降了23%,几乎是非个性化组的两倍。小组成员Hae Won Park说,孩子们向个性化机器人讲述的故事也更长、更精彩。)”可知,实验结果表明个性化版本的机器人对孩子们帮助最大。故选D项。

Atleto
Research shows that exercising with a friend promotes more motivation and healthier lifestyle habits. Atleto is an app that builds on this “exercise contagion (传染)” phenomenon by bringing together athletic people to take exercise and organize group activities. You can choose from over 40 sports and find your community of people who like to be in a sweat.

Then, Friender solves that problem quickly with an algorithm (算法) that only matches you based on your favorite activities and interests. This friend-finding app makes it easy to get into conversations that you care about. If you don’t have many hobbies to type into an app, one of the easiest ways to start is to try out new hobbies.
PawDate
Dogs are great companions, but sometimes it’s nice to talk to humans, too. This app connects pet owners to meet up at dog parks or walk with their pups. You get to set up doggie play dates and find new friends at the same time It’s a win-win.
Skout
Skout started back in 2007 to help people make new friends. The matches are based on geographical distances and preferences. It’s perfect for meeting people while traveling, moving and entering a new chapter of life. Skout is able to discover people directly by checking into a location and seeing who else on the app is there.

To develop one’s taste in English, the most effective way is to read English books widely. Yet one may be at a loss to choose the proper books, especially as a beginner. As a native Spanish, I would like to share some of my reading experience.
My first English novel was Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice, recommended by many English teachers and professors as an ideal book for English learners. But my experience was somewhat horrible. I had great difficulty in understanding the novel, let alone enjoying it. It’s not the vocabulary that troubled me, but rather the way Austen constructs sentences, and her way of thinking, which seemed rather unfamiliar to me at that time. My fading enthusiasm was much recovered after reading Hemingway’s novel---A Farewell to Arms. No long and puzzling sentences. And I particularly liked his brief style. So my first suggestion is, as a beginner, you’d better choose modern novels instead of classical ones.
However, if you limit yourself to novels, you will miss a lot of treasures. Besides, English essays also play a key role. They can at once inform you, entertain you, and improve your taste in English. The best example is Bertrand Russell’s work. Its language is plain, yet you cannot help feeling the elegance (优雅) and the special sense of humor. His simple language enables his philosophy within the reach of ordinary people. Therefore, here comes my second suggestion — essays are also vital.
Never follow others’ recommendations and opinions blindly, however famous or influential the person might be. We should be open to various ideas, but always think independently and determine for ourselves. As a saying goes, one man’s meat is another man’s poison. With that in mind, we are bound to find out our favorite writers through reading and develop our fine taste in English.
4. What made the first English novel that the author read hard to understand?
A. Difficult conversations.
B. The old-fashioned vocabulary.
C. Not knowing the social background.
D. Sentences and Austen’s way of thinking.
5. What advice does the author give in the last paragraph?
A. Compare books before buying.
B. Read books that are influential.
C. Don’t blindly follow others’ choices.
D. Choose books that challenge us most.
6. What is the author’s purpose of writing the passage?
A. Give comments on literature works.
B. Tell beginners how to choose English books.
C. Encourage people to read more English books.
D. Recommend first class books to English learners.
C
Once upon a time, researchers dreamed of building a robot storyteller. It would not only entertain (娱乐) young children, but also help them learn well. This dream has come true. The robot is called Tega. It is cute and appears to be useful in increasing young children’s language skills. Developed by a team at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Tega sounds like a child, makes its body and face full of life while storytelling and explains the tales on a screen with pictures.
In an eight-week experiment, Tega read picture books to 67 children aged from 4 to 6 in weekly meetings lasting an hour. During the meetings, Tega asked questions to have knowledge of the listeners’ language skills, tested them on a word’s meaning or asked them to describe a character. For example, Tega asked, “What do you think will happen to the boy?” Tega also recorded the facial expressions and body positions of the children to see how interested they were. For example, keeping the body forward was considered a good sign. After the book was finished, the children retold the story to Tega in their own words.
One group of kids played with a personalized version (版本) of the robot, which improved each time it interacted with the kids, learning about their language skills from the conversations they had. For this group, Tega chose which book to read based on what it thought would be most suitable for the children’s language level. Every second time, Tega would replace (替换) several words in the story for these children with more difficult words with similar meanings, such as “clamour” in place of “noise”.
A second group interacted with a non-personalized Tega that remembered the children each week, but chose stories to read at random (随机的) from its library of 81 picture books. For this group, the story difficulty increased every two weeks. A third group of kids didn’t interact with Tega at all.
Several weeks after the last meeting, the team found that all the children who played with Tega had increased their vocabularies (词汇), but the personalized group learned the most words. Their error rate on a vocabulary test dropped by 23 percent, almost double that of the non-personalized group. The stories that the children told back to the personalized robot were also longer and more wonderful, says team member Hae Won Park.
7. What do we know about Tega?
A. It has a voice of an adult.
B. It is connected to the Internet.
C. It can tell stories in a lively way.
D. It is mainly designed to entertain kids.
8. Why did Tega ask questions during the meetings?
A. To keep the kids interested.
B. To help kids better understand a story.
C. To know about the kids’ language skills.
D To encourage the kids to think independently.
9. What do the results of the experiment show?
A. Children enjoy telling back stories to Tega.
B Young kids really love interacting with others.
C. The robot needs to be improved to work better.
D. The personalized version of the robot helps kids most.
10. What is the text mainly about?
A. A new invention for kids.
B A personalized teaching method.
C. A new way to increase kids’ vocabularies.
D. A study carried out by researchers recently.
