Some people learn a foreign language because they want to communicate with the local people. Some other people are just curious about foreign cultures. Whatever your reason may be, the best foreign language software around will certainly help you pick up the language in a few weeks. You will be able to speak fluently (流利地) and understand the language clearly as well.
Tell Me More
This software is widely used in U.S. schools, and it is believed to be the best foreign language learning software around the world. It offers instructions for learning Arabic, Chinese, Dutch, English, French, German, Italian, Japanese and Spanish. However, the software does not come cheap as it costs around $250.
Talk Now!
If you are looking for a cheaper language learning software, then this is just the suitable choice for you. This software will cost you around $40, and even though it is not as useful as Tell Me More, it is still a very good software for the purpose. The disadvantages are that there is very little focus on grammar and there is a clear lack of interactive activities (缺乏互动性活动) for users so it does not result in fluency.
Instant Immersion
This software provides learning material for up to 33 different languages, and it is widely considered as the best software for learning Spanish as well. It will cost you around $30, and this is a very reasonable price for such a highly recommended (推荐) and loved language learning software. The learning courses are highly interactive, and the ever present speech recognition feature ensures that you are getting the pronunciation right when you speak.
Kid Speak
This is a foreign language translation software that you can make use of, and it will cost you around $30. So, it is safe to say that the level of performance will be similar to that of Talk Now! This software is designed more for the use of children for its interesting videos.

For many years, I wanted to be a music video director. After graduating from high school, I moved to Los Angeles. I earned a degree in video production there. Fortune smiled upon me as I quickly worked as a production helper. I was young and ambitious, doing my best in my dream work.
One day, I worked as a volunteer at an award show. A production manager talked with me and said that I was going to be a “big fish” one day. I was praised, but frightened. I wasn’t sure whether I could bear the pressure of being a “big fish”. Not too long after the show, I was laid off from my position at the production company. I went back home to Florida to think about my next career move.
In Florida, I found a job in a financial company. The pay was good, and the work was not difficult. But a few months later, my creative spirit sent an SOS to my brain. It reminded me that I wasn’t making the best use of my talents. I didn’t have the money to make another cross-country move back to Los Angeles, but I couldn’t wait to create something.
I did some creative writing during my spare time. To motivate myself even further, I promised myself a children’s storybook. My goal didn’t end there, however. I also decided to get the book published. It was not easy, and I continued sending out my work for nearly four years. Finally my work attracted the interest of a publisher.
When I held a copy of my beautiful children’s book in my hands, I felt really happy from the bottom of my heart. I may not have become a big fish, but I did achieve a goal. Success comes from efforts. When you have something to fight for, you’re not far from success.

Rising temperatures driven by the climate crisis are cutting the sleep of people across the world, the largest study to date has found.
The researchers used data from sleep-tracking wristbands (手环) used by 47,000 people over 7 months and across 68 countries. The analysis revealed that due to increasing night-time temperatures, the average global citizen is losing 44 hours of sleep a year.
However, lost sleep affects some groups much more than others. The sleep loss per degree of warming is about a quarter higher for women than men, twice as high for those over 65 years old and three times higher for those in less affluent nations, where people have less access to cooling features.
Previous studies have shown that rising temperatures damage health, including increasing heart attacks, mental health crises, and accidents and injuries. Poor sleep has also been shown to have these effects, and the researchers say their new study suggests that disturbed sleep may be a key mechanism by which heat causes these health impacts. The researchers say their data shows no signs of people being able to adapt to hotter nights.
“In this study, we provide the first planetary-scale (世界范围的) evidence that warmer than average temperatures cut human sleep,” said Kelton Minor, who led the research. “It’s very likely the effect is more serious.” Minor added that the research had important implications for policymakers, who need to ensure cities, towns and buildings are well adapted to heat in order to reduce the health impacts.
The data used in the study came mainly from richer nations. The wristbands also tended to be worn by people less prone (易于遭受) to sleep disturbance by warmer temperatures. “Lower-income people are underrepresented in the data and we’re well aware of that,” said Minor. He said more research was needed, particularly in places that are already among the hottest in the world.
41. Which is NOT mentioned about the study in paragraph 2?
A. How the data was collected.
B. How many respondents were involved.
C. The duration of the study.
D. The purpose of the study.
42. What does the underlined word “affluent” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Thickly populated. B. Badly polluted.
C. Wealthy. D. Equal.
43. How do increasing temperatures harm people?
A. They cause car accidents.
B. They reduce people’s sleep time.
C. They result in extreme weather events.
D. They limit people’s adaptation ability.
44. What can be learned from Kelton Minor’s words in paragraph 5?
A. The study adopted a new research method.
B. Some cities have taken firmer action to fight the heat.
C. Policymakers have doubts about the study.
D. Heat’s impacts may be worse than estimated.
45. What does the last paragraph mainly tell us about the study?
A. Its findings. B. Its limitations.
C. Its applications. D. Its significance.
【答案】41. D 42. C 43. B 44. D 45. B
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了气候危机导致的气温上升会缩短世界各地人们的睡眠时间。
【41题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“The researchers used data from sleep-tracking wristbands (手环) used by 47,000 people over 7 months and across 68 countries. The analysis revealed that due to increasing night-time temperatures, the average global citizen is losing 44 hours of sleep a year. (研究人员使用了睡眠追踪腕带的数据,腕带是由68个国家的4700个人,戴了长达7个月。分析显示,因为夜间气温升高,全球公民平均每年的睡眠时间减少44小时。)”可知,在第二段中,未提到研究的目的,故选D。
【42题详解】
词句猜测题。根据文章划线词affluent后的内容“where people have less access to cooling features. (在这些地方,人们很少能使用制冷设备。)”可推知,此处指那些地方很少有人使用制冷设备来保证睡眠,因此那些地方是不太富裕的地区,无法支付制冷设备,故此处划线词affluent与C项“wealthy富有的,富裕的”意思相近,故选C。
【43题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“The analysis revealed that due to increasing night-time temperatures, the average global citizen is losing 44 hours of sleep a year. (分析显示,因为夜间气温升高,全球公民平均每年的睡眠时间减少44小时。)”可知,气温升高,缩短了人们睡眠的时间,故选B。
【44题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第五段““In this study, we provide the first planetary-scale (世界范围的) evidence that warmer than average temperatures cut human sleep,” said Kelton Minor, who led the research. “It’s very likely the effect is more serious.” Minor added that the research had important implications for policymakers, who need to ensure cities, towns and buildings are well adapted to heat in order to reduce the health impacts. ( Kelton Minor说道:“在这项研究中,我们提供了第一个世界范围的证据,表明高于平均水平高的气温会缩短人类的睡眠。这种影响很可能更严重。” Minor补充道,这项研究对于政策制定者有着重要的影响,他们需要确保城市、城镇和建筑物能够很好地适应高温,以减少对健康的影响。)”可知,从Kelton Minor的话中,我们可以知道高温的影响可能比估计中更加严重,故选D。
【45题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段““Lower-income people are underrepresented in the data and we’re well aware of that,” said Minor. He said more research was needed, particularly in places that are already among the hottest in the world. ( Minor说道:“低收入人群在数据中的代表性不足,我们很清楚这一点。”他说,还需要做更多的研究,尤其在世界上已经是最热的地区。)”可知,最后一段主要说明这项研究的局限性,数据的代表性不足,且需要在已经是最热的地区做进一步的研究,故选B。

When I was ten years old, on a family vacation to Las Vegas, I felt very uncomfortable. I was immediately taken to the hospital. It turned out that I had a big stroke(中风). It made me no longer able to talk, read, write and understand what anyone was saying to me. The entire right side of my body had no feeling.
I stayed in the hospital for months. There I met my favorite doctor. Her last visit was the most important visit of all. She sent me a box as a gift. Inside was a little toy figure of a soldier. She said, “He’s a fighter. You should be like him, David. As long as you try to be him, you can triumph over your illness at last.” She moved her arms as she was fighting to help me understand.
The next few years’ fighting was really hard. I went to lots of speech and physical treatments. I did learn to walk again, but my right arm remained unable to feel anything. Slowly, I learned to talk again. I started with one syllable(音节)-then more. It allowed me to go to a special school. But I couldn’t even spell my own name. Everything was about language and letters. Talking was hard. So was reading. I was sad. But I was still intelligent. Eventually, I decided to let life move on and do something for other stroke survivors.
To help them, I founded a nonprofit organization. I wrote a book on stroke recovery, which has become a guide for stroke survivors and their family members. To help people like me, I also keep speaking at national conferences and hospitals about how to better recover from the disease. Recently, I was invited to speak at a stroke conference to doctors and patients and tell my story.
Today, I can walk, run, and drive. But I still can’t use my right arm. However, there are so many things I can do. The fight to recover is hard. I’ll never, ever give up.

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。讲述了作者与病魔作斗争的故事并积极帮助其他中风病人的事迹。
【46题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第一段第三句“It turned out that I had a big stroke.”(结果我得了严重的中风。)可知,作者十岁时,患了严重的中风。故答案为He suffered from a terrible stroke。
【47题详解】
考查词义猜测。根据第二段五至八句“Inside was a little toy figure of a soldier. She said, “He’s a fighter. You should be like him, David. As long as you try to be him, you can triumph over your illness at last.””(里面是一个士兵的小玩具。她说:“他是个斗士。你应该像他一样,大卫。只要你努力像他一样,你就能最终……你的疾病。”)可知,医生鼓励作者,要像军士一样勇敢,只要英勇无畏,就能战胜病魔。故推知triumph over意为“战胜,击败”。故答案为Defeat。
【48题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第三段第八九十句“Talking was hard. So was reading. I was sad.”(谈话很困难。阅读也是如此。我很伤心。)可知,作者在特殊学校感到伤心是因为他无法正常交谈和阅读。故答案为Because he was struggling with talking and reading。
【49题详解】

【50题详解】
开放性题目。要求评价作者并解释原因,言之有理即可。根据作者与病魔作斗争并积极帮助他人的故事可知,作者善良,勇敢,富有责任心。故答案为I think he’s brave, kind and respectable because he fights against big challenges in his life and helps others.或I think he is strong, optimistic and kind because he never gives up when facing difficulties and helps others。

Some people learn a foreign language because they want to communicate with the local people. Some other people are just curious about foreign cultures. Whatever your reason may be, the best foreign language software around will certainly help you pick up the language in a few weeks. You will be able to speak fluently (流利地) and understand the language clearly as well.
Tell Me More
This software is widely used in U.S. schools, and it is believed to be the best foreign language learning software around the world.

For many years, I wanted to be a music video director. After graduating from high school, I moved to Los Angeles. I earned a degree in video production there. Fortune smiled upon me as I quickly worked as a production helper. I was young and ambitious, doing my best in my dream work.
One day, I worked as a volunteer at an award show. A production manager talked with me and said that I was going to be a “big fish” one day. I was praised, but frightened. I wasn’t sure whether I could bear the pressure of being a “big fish”. Not too long after the show, I was laid off from my position at the production company. I went back home to Florida to think about my next career move.
In Florida, I found a job in a financial company. The pay was good, and the work was not difficult. But a few months later, my creative spirit sent an SOS to my brain. It reminded me that I wasn’t making the best use of my talents. I didn’t have the money to make another cross-country move back to Los Angeles, but I couldn’t wait to create something.
I did some creative writing during my spare time. To motivate myself even further, I promised myself a children’s storybook. My goal didn’t end there, however. I also decided to get the book published. It was not easy, and I continued sending out my work for nearly four years. Finally my work attracted the interest of a publisher.
When I held a copy of my beautiful children’s book in my hands, I felt really happy from the bottom of my heart. I may not have become a big fish, but I did achieve a goal. Success comes from efforts. When you have something to fight for, you’re not far from success.
36. The author went to Los Angeles to ______.
A. find a high-paid job B. reach for her dream
C. visit a famous film director D. take part in volunteer activities

C. It often takes up her free time. D. It can hardly support her family.
39. What can we infer about the author from Paragraph 4?
A She set herself to work on a new goal. B. She was moved by her children’s words.
C. She was attracted by a picture storybook. D. She planned to leave for Los Angeles some day.
40. What does the author encourage us to do through this text?

Rising temperatures driven by the climate crisis are cutting the sleep of people across the world, the largest study to date has found.
The researchers used data from sleep-tracking wristbands (手环) used by 47000 people over 7 months and across 68 countries. The analysis revealed that due to increasing night-time temperatures, the average global citizen is losing 44 hours of sleep a year.
However, lost sleep affects some groups much more than others. The sleep loss per degree of warming is about a quarter higher for women than men, twice as high for those over 65 years old and three times higher for those in less affluent nations, where people have less access to cooling features.
Previous studies have shown that rising temperatures damage health, including increasing heart attacks, mental health crises, and accidents and injuries. Poor sleep has also been shown to have these effects, and the researchers say their new study suggests that disturbed sleep may be a key mechanism by which heat causes these health impacts. The researchers say their data shows no signs of people being able to adapt to hotter nights.
“In this study, we provide the first planetary-scale (世界范围的) evidence that warmer than average temperatures cut human sleep,” said Kelton Minor, who led the research. “It’s very likely the effect is more serious.” Minor added that the research had important implications for policymakers, who need to ensure cities, towns and buildings are well adapted to heat in order to reduce the health impacts.
The data used in the study came mainly from richer nations. The wristbands also tended to be worn by people less prone (易于遭受) to sleep disturbance by warmer temperatures. “Lower-income people are underrepresented in the data and we’re well aware of that,” said Minor. He said more research was needed, particularly in places that are already among the hottest in the world.
41. Which is NOT mentioned about the study in paragraph 2?
A. How the data was collected.
B. How many respondents were involved.
C. The duration of the study.
D. The purpose of the study.
42. What does the underlined word “affluent” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Thickly populated. B. Badly polluted.
C. Wealthy. D. Equal.
43. How do increasing temperatures harm people?
A. They cause car accidents.
B. They reduce people’s sleep time.
C. They result in extreme weather events.
D. They limit people’s adaptation ability.
44. What can be learned from Kelton Minor’s words in paragraph 5?
A. The study adopted a new research method.
B. Some cities have taken firmer action to fight the heat.
C. Policymakers have doubts about the study.
D. Heat’s impacts may be worse than estimated.
45. What does the last paragraph mainly tell us about the study?
A. Its findings. B. Its limitations.
C. Its applications. D. Its significance.

Slowly, I learned to talk again. I started with one syllable(音节)-then more. It allowed me to go to a special school. But I couldn’t even spell my own name. Everything was about language and letters. Talking was hard. So was reading. I was sad. But I was still intelligent. Eventually, I decided to let life move on and do something for other stroke survivors.
To help them, I founded a nonprofit organization. I wrote a book on stroke recovery, which has become a guide for stroke survivors and their family members. To help people like me, I also keep speaking at national conferences and hospitals about how to better recover from the disease. Recently, I was invited to speak at a stroke conference to doctors and patients and tell my story.
Today, I can walk, run, and drive. But I still can’t use my right arm. However, there are so many things I can do. The fight to recover is hard. I’ll never, ever give up.
