Credit Card Management Apps to Stay on Top of Payments
Americans collectively hold about $4 trillion in consumer credit card debt,so a money management app might be worth consideration. Here are two top choices that will help manage the credit life.
For Budgeting: Mint
If you're seeking an app for both a broad view and a detailed look at your credit cards and overall finances as well as warnings to ensure ontime payments,Mint is perhaps the most popular app in this category. You can create a budget,track card spending in customizable (可定制的) categories,get credit card bill warnings,and more.
Reserve a couple of hours to get started because setting it up takes time.And if you're completely new to financial apps,tracking and categorizing every transaction (交易) you might make could take some getting used to.
Download Mint from the App Store or Google Play for free.
For Tracking Credit Card Rewards: AwardWallet
You can see all of your credit card rewards—including credit card points such as Citi ThankYou Points,American Express Membership Rewards and Chase Ultimate Rewards—in one place.The app also lets you know when your awards will expire (过期) so you can use them before you lose them.
Arghandewal,who travels all over the world by using points and miles,says the AwardWallet app helps her keep track of everything.“You can link all of your frequent flyer,hotel and even bank rewards accounts and get notices when your rewards balance changes,” she says.
AwardWallet requires access to your email account,which could make some folks uncomfortable.And some loyalty programs aren't part of the platform.
Download AwardWallet from the App Store for free.
语篇解读 本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了两个可以帮助管理银行卡的应用软件。
21. What can the users of Mint do?
A.To reduce daily transactions.
B.To get detailed financial advice.
C.To receive warnings of ontime payment.
D.To track their card spending and rewards.
C [ 细节理解题。根据“For Budgeting: Mint”的第一段“warnings to ensure ontime payments”可知,Mint应用软件可以提醒使用者准时付款。故选C。]
22.Why is Arghandewal quoted in AwardWallet?
A.To show why the app is popular.
B.To explain how to win rewards.

D.To persuade people to use the app.
D [推理判断题。根据“For Tracking Credit Card Rewards: AwardWallet”的第二段“Arghandewal,who travels all over the world by using points and miles,says the AwardWallet app helps her keep track of everything.”可知,作者用Arghandewal的例子是想告诉读者,只要使用这个应用软件,也可以像Arghandewal一样只用应用软件里的积分和公里数就可以全球旅游。所以,这是在说服人们下载这个应用软件。故选D。]
23. Both Mint and AwardWallet______.
A.help users manage their credit cards.
B.need access to users' email accounts.
C.inform users of the expired awards.
D.take time for users to get used to them.

(2022·安徽省宿州市高二期末)
American folklore(民间传说)is filled with tales of imaginary heroes like Pecos Bill and the Lone Ranger. Yet,besides those characters,there are real historical figures whose lives and fascinating deeds were mythologized(当作神话)over the years. Among them there is an apple grower,known by the popular nickname Johnny Appleseed.This man is said to have traveled on foot across the United States,planting apple trees.
Appleseed's real name was John Chapman. Chapman was widely known by the pioneers settling in the western lands in the 1800s. And the native Indians respected him as a “white medicine man?” However,not much is known about Chapman's early life,except that he was born in a northeastern state in 1774 and that his mother died soon after that.It's also said that he grew up on his father's farm,where apple trees grew.
Appleseed's legend began when he planted his first apple trees in Pennsylvania in 1798. Then,he began traveling west. Walking for miles every day and sleeping outdoors,he planted apple trees near settlements,where he sold them to the pioneers. His apples,which were not suitable for eating due to their bitter taste,were used to make cider(苹果酒). This became a common drink for the pioneers,especially in places where clean drinking water wasn't available.
By 1806,Chapman had been given his new name,and stories about him had spread among the pioneers. Most of these focused on his survival in the wilderness. Chapman was also known for his eccentric clothing: instead of a shirt,he wore a cloth bag with holes for his head and arms,and he wore no shoes. He is also said to have carried a bag of apple seeds and have had a meal pot on his head as a hat.
When Appleseed died in 1845,he had walked across three western states. And he was the owner of five square kilometers of land.Appleseed's story was first published in an article in 1871. Yet,not all the details in this article and the ones published later were based on facts. Appleseed's legend has grown over the years through songs,stories and plays and modernday Disney productions.
语篇解读 本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了美国历史上的一位传奇人物 Johnny Appleseed 的故事。
24. What made Chapman a legendary figure?
A.Planting apple trees. B.His travel adventure.
C.His childhood experience. D.Inventing a drink made from apples.
A [细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Appleseed's real name was John Chapman” 和第三段中的“Appleseed's legend began when he planted his first apple trees ”可知,Chapman 是因为种植苹果树而成为传奇人物的。选项A与文意相符,故选A。]
25. What can we learn about Chapman's apples?
A.They were from Chapman's farm.
B.They were popular among the pioneers.
C.They were not grown in America until 1806.
D.They were not accepted by the native Indians.
B [细节理解题。根据第三段中“he planted apple trees near settlements,where he sold them to the pioneers...This became a common drink for the pioneers ”可知,当时 Chapman的苹果在拓荒者中很受欢迎。故选B。]
26.What does the underlined word “eccentric” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A.Traditional. B.Strange.
C.Casual. D.Colorful.
B [词义猜测题。根据第四段中的“instead of a shirt,he wore a cloth bag with holes for his head and arms,and he wore no shoes ”及“have had a meal pot on his head as a hat”可知,此处指他的行为比较奇怪,所以画线词意为“奇怪的”。故选B。]
27. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A.The mysterious apples
B.How were apples spread in America?
C.The legend of Johnny Appleseed
D.Who was real Johnny Appleseed?
C [标题归纳题。文章第一段谈到美国民间有很多虚构的英雄,而 Chapman 作为真实的历史人物,他的生活和事迹也被神话化了。接下来三段主要介绍了他的早年经历以及他种植苹果树的事迹,最后一段大概总结了他的生平。所以,本文的标题可以为Johnny Appleseed 的故事,选项C 符合文意,故选C。]

The practice of students endlessly copying letters and sentences from a blackboard is a thing of the past. With the coming of new technologies like computers and smartphones,writing by hand has become something of nostalgic(怀旧的)skill. However,while today's educators are using more and more technology in their teaching,many believe basic handwriting skills are still necessary for students to be successful—both in school and in life.
Virginia Berninger,professor of educational psychology at the University of Washington,says it's important to continue teaching handwriting and help children acquire the skill of writing by hand.
Berninger and her colleagues conducted a study that looked at the ability of students to complete various writing tasks—both on a computer and by hand.The study,published in 2009,found that when writing with a pen and paper,participants wrote longer essays and more complete sentences and had a faster word production rate.
In a more recent study,Berninger looked at what role spelling plays in a student's writing skills and found that how well children spell is tied to how well they can write.“Spelling makes some of the thinking parts of the brain active,which helps us access our vocabulary,word meaning and concepts. It is allowing our written language to connect with ideas.” Berninger said.
“In our computer age,some people believe that we don't have to teach spelling because we have spell checks,” she said.“But until a child has a functional spelling,they won't have the knowledge to choose the correct spelling among the options given by the computer.”
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了随着现代科技的发展,书写渐渐被人们所忽视。但是Berninger的研究表明,书写在现代教学中应该占有一席之地,因为加强拼写有助于学生的发展。
28. What makes writing by hand a thing of the past?
A.The absence of blackboard in classrooms.
B.The use of new technologies in teaching.
C.The lack of practice in handwriting.

B [细节理解题。根据第一段“With the coming of new technologies like computers and smartphones,writing by hand has become something of nostalgic (怀旧的)skill.”可知,随着像电脑和智能手机的使用,书写已经成为了人们怀旧的东西。故选B项。]
29.Berninger's study published in 2009________.
A.focused on the difference between writing by hand and on a computer
B.indicated that students prefer to write with a pen and paper
C.found that good essays are made up of long sentences
D.discussed the importance of writing speed
A [细节理解题。根据第三段“Berninger and her colleagues conducted a study that looked at the ability of students to complete various writing tasks—both on a computer and by hand.”可知,Berninger和她的同事做了个研究,想看看学生用电脑和用手工完成各种写的任务的情况的不同。故选A项。]
30.Which of the following best shows the role of spelling?
A.Spelling is unrelated to writing skills.
B.Spelling plays a vital part in writing.
C.Spelling has negative effect on writing.
D.Spelling slows down us to express ideas.
B [细节理解题。根据第四段“In a more recent study,Berninger looked at what role spelling plays in a student's writing skills and found that how well children spell is tied to how well they can write.”可知,拼写在写作当中起着很大的作用。故选B项。]
31.What conclusion could be drawn from the passage?
A.Computers can take place of handwriting.
B.Handwriting functions only in the past.
C.Basic handwriting skills are still needed.
D.Handwriting is useless nowadays.
C [推理判断题。通读全文,根据Berninger所做的实验以及第一段“many believe basic handwriting skills are still necessary for students to be successful—both in school and in life.”可推知,在今天的教学中书写仍然有一席之地。故选C项。]

(2022·广东省汕头市高二期末段考)
With so many devices to keep track of,it's easy to forget to charge your wearable.But what if your skin could power your smart watch? Thanks to a team in China,this could actually happen. Scientists have developed a small,flexible device that transforms heat from human skin into electrical power.
The device is a thermoelectric generator (TEG) that uses heat difference to create power. Researchers use the difference between the warmer body temperature and the relatively cooler surrounding environment to generate power. Unlike traditional generators that use the energy of motion to produce power,TEGs have no moving parts,making them primarily repair free.
Unfortunately,TEGs are quite rigid — they can only stand up to fewer than 200 cases of bending — not great for a wearable device.The team settled this problem by attaching the key electrical components to a more bouncy and more sticky polyurethane (聚氨酯) material. During testing,the device survived at least 10,000 cases of bending without affecting performance.The researchers also partially replaced the rare metal bismuth TEGs typically rely on with a magnesiumbased material,which will cost less in mass production.
For the prototype (原型机),the team connected an LED to a TEG band measuring 4.5 cm by 1.1 cm. The band was then wrapped around the wrist of someone whose body temperature measured at 92.9 F in normal environmental conditions. With the difference in temperature,the generator transformed the body heat and used it to light up the LED.The team believes that with the correct voltage converter (电压转换器) the generator can energize electronics similar to smart watches and pulse sensors.
There's an increasing demand for greener energy,and TEGs fit right in,for they can turn wasted heat into power. While,for example,solar energy can only be generated when there's sun,TEGs can produce power in many situations — as long as there's a temperature difference.
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了研究人员开发一种新设备,可以利用人体皮肤的热量给可穿戴设备充电。
32.Why have researchers developed the new device?
A.To use it as a reminder to charge.
B.To carry the smart watch comfortably.
C.To replace the battery in the wearable.
D.To protect the skin from being damaged.
C [细节理解题。根据文章第一段“With so many devices to keep track of,it's easy to forget to charge your wearable.”和“Scientists have developed a small,flexible device that transforms heat from human skin into electrical power.”可知,研究人员开发这种新设备是为了更换可穿戴设备中的电池。故选C。]
33.How does the TEG differ from the traditional generator?
A.It saves repair costs. B.It needs no extra spare parts.
C.It is suitable for any environment. D.It is more effective in producing power.
A [细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Unlike traditional generators that use the energy of motion to produce power,TEGs have no moving parts,making them primarily repair free.”可知,热电发电机(TEG)与传统发电机不同在于节省维修费用。故选A。]
34.What does Paragraph 3 tell us about the researchers?
A.How they tested out the device.
B.Why they designed flexible TEGs.
C.Why they improved the chosen materials.
D.How they made the device lasting and lowcost.
D [段落大意题。根据文章第三段“The team settled this problem... which will cost less in mass production.”可知,本段介绍研究人员如何使设备持久和低成本的。故选D。]
35.What can we expect of the new TEGs in the future?
A.They might go out of style quickly.
B.They will speed up energy production.
C.They could take the place of solar energy.
D.They will be promising in powering wearables.
D [推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“There's an increasing demand... as long as there's a temperature difference.”可推断,未来的新的TEG将在可穿戴设备的供电方面很有前景。故选D。]

语篇解读 本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要报道了一个名叫Ifairy的机器人为一对新人主持婚礼。
56.hosted [考查动词的时态和语态。空处做谓语,由时间标志词last Friday(上周五)可知,句子描述的是过去发生的事,应用一般过去时,且主语robot(机器人)和谓语动词host(主持)是主动关系,所以此处应用host的过去式hosted,故填hosted。]
57.seated [考查词性转换。由系动词remained(依然)可知,空处应用形容词seated作表语,表示“坐着的”,故填seated。]
58.feet [考查名词的单复数。此处foot表示“英尺”,为可数名词,由前面的数词four(四)可知,此处用foot的复数形式feet,故填feet。]
59.its [考查代词。此处表示“它的”应用its作定语,修饰名词head(头),故填its。]
60.had been led [考查动词的时态和语态。It was/is the first time that+从句,是固定句型,如果主句用的是was,从句要用过去完成时态,所以此处应用过去完成时,且从句主语wedding(婚礼)和谓语动词lead(领导)是被动关系,所以此处应用过去完成时的被动,故填had been led。]
61.an [考查冠词。此处是指“一个不寻常的选择”,应用不定冠词修饰choice(选择),且unusual读音是以元音音素开头,所以应用an,故填an。]
62.because [考查名词性从句。分析句子结构可知,“the groom teaches robotics at a university and the bride works for the company that built IFairy.”是表语从句,且此处表示“因为”,是对上文这对夫妇选择Ifairy机器人来主持婚礼的解释,所以应用because(因为)来引导表语从句,故填because。]
63.building [考查非谓语动词。spend +时间/金钱 (in) doing,是固定搭配,表示“花费时间/金钱做某事”,故填building。]
64.newly [考查词性转换。形容词married(结婚的)应用副词来修饰,new是形容词,副词为newly(新近地),故填newly。]
65.which [考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知,“in________they might use robots to do ‘everyday things’ in their lives in the near future.”是限定性定语从句,先行词是ways(方法),且在定语从句中做介词in的宾语,是“介词+关系代词”引导的定语从句,应用关系代词which来引导,故填which。]

I will never forget the first time when I learned how to ride a bike.At the beginning,with dad holding the back of the bike,I rode happily and safely. After some time,Dad told me he would let go of the bike and that I should ride independently. Though scared,I took a deep breath and gave it a try. It was not easy. After several attempts,I finally rode the bike steadily. At that moment,I felt like I was flying.Whenever I meet with difficulties,this experience inspires me to be brave and determined so that I can achieve everything.
