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 and understand the language clearly as well.
Tell Me More
This software is widely used in US 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 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 very good software for the purpose. The disadvantage is that there is a clear lack (缺少) of interactive (互动的) activities for users so it does not result in fluency.
Instant Immersion
This software supplies learning material for up to 35 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 piece of highly recommended and loved language learning software. The learning courses are highly interactive, and the ever present speech recognition (语音识别) feature ensures that you are getting the pronunciation right when you speak.
Kid Speak
This is a kind of 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 children to use for interesting videos.
1 What can we know about learning a language from Paragraph 1?
A. Different people have different purposes. B. It is unnecessary to talk with the natives.

The day will come when renewable energy such as wind, solar, geothermal and others replace fossil fuels as the major source of world energy. However, most analysts insist that this day will not arrive for many decades to come—certainly well past the middle of the century. Systems of fossil fuels have already been firmly set up, and it is too costly or impractical to replace the existing systems with renewables. But there are good reasons to believe that the transition (转变) to renewables will come much faster than previously thought.
It is hardly surprising that many experts say we will see a relatively slow transition from fossil fuels to renewables, given what is known about previous energy changes of this sort. “Energy transitions take a long time,” observed Vaclav Smil of the University of Manitoba in Scientific American. It took more than 50 years for coal to replace wood as the worlds leading source of energy and another 50 years for oil to replace coal; the change from fossil fuels to renewables, he argued, is not likely to come any faster.
Under ordinary circumstances, Smil’s forecast would no doubt prove accurate. But these are not ordinary times. Growing concern over climate change is leading to increasingly strict controls on CO2 and other greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (排放), while the development in renewables technology is lowering their price and speeding their installation.
There are, of course, many difficulties in the effective control of carbon emissions, as demonstrated by coal companies to block the introduction of new rules by the US Environmental Protection Agency. Nevertheless, it is impossible to dismiss the progress being made at the local and international levels to promote the use of renewables. The European Union (E.U.), for example, is well on the way to achieving a 20% reduction in GHG emissions from 1990 levels by 2020, along with a 20% increase in the use of renewable energy.
The transition to renewables will be faster due to dramatic improvements in the pricing and performance of such systems. As a result of the steady increases in the efficiency of wind and solar systems, together with the savings achieved through large-scale manufacture, the price of renewables is falling globally. With prices dropping this fast, solar energy is now proving competitive with fossil fuels for generating electricity in many areas.
The change from fossil fuels to renewable energy will not come overnight, and it will not escape many setbacks. Nevertheless, renewables are likely to replace fossil fuels as the main source of electrical power well before mid-century.
4. Vaclav Smil believes that ________.
A. renewable energies are not very practical
B. the change to renewables will come slowly
C. systems of fossil fuels have been firmly set up
D. there are many setbacks of renewable energies
5. We can learn from the passage that European Union ________.
A. has cut down half of the carbon emissions
B. has failed to find a way to reduce GHG emissions
C. is trying their best to encourage the use of renewables
D. tries to stop the introduction of new rules on renewables
6. The renewables are more competitive because of ________.
A. their falling prices B. the decline in coal industry
C. international trade D. the new rules on CO2 emission
7. The author writes this passage in order to ________.
A. call on people to use less fossil fuels
B. give advice on how to promote renewables
C. argue that the energy transition will come sooner
D. prove the renewables will be the major source of energy
C
After bikes and umbrellas are made sharable across China, some companies started eyeing the fitness market, so shared gym rooms have hit the streets in Beijing.
Unlike common gyms that provide large, open spaces for many members to share at the same time, the newly built shared gym rooms are small, separate rooms for a person to use, often set up near living communities.
Every four-square-metre room provides a treadmill (跑步机), an air cleaner, a mirror, a television and an air conditioner, and users can let down the curtains (窗帘) for privacy. When exercising, users can listen to music, watch movies and check emails by connecting to the Internet by the screen fixed on the treadmill. But there’s no shower.
Similar to using a shared bike, users can locate a shared gym room by a smartphone app, book a room in advance and then need to scan a QR code (二维码) for use. A refundable deposit (可退还的押金) of 99 yuan is required, and users are charged 1 yuan every 5 minutes.
The shared gym rooms are created by Misspao, a Beijing-based technology company founded in July. Within several months since it was founded, the company has already raised over 100 million yuan. However, the idea of the shared fitness experience is not totally new. Last December, the company VRUN set up shared treadmills in office and apartment buildings.
The sharing economy is still becoming popular in China. According to Yicai Global, confident people are pouring millions into sharing start-ups. In March, the State Information Centre published a report which says that the total value of China’s sharing economy will see a yearly growth of 40% in the coming years, and it is expected to make a great contribution to the country’s GDP.
8. What makes the shared gym room different from the common one?
A. Sharing open spaces. B. Providing free training courses.
C. Holding one person at a time. D. Having some advanced equipment.
9. What do people need to do to use the shared gym room?
A. Pay 100 yuan first. B. Book a room ahead of time.
C. Have a shower before exercise. D. Let down curtains for privacy.
10. What is the author’s attitude towards China’s sharing economy?
A. Doubtful. B. Unclear. C. Worried. D. Positive.
11. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To introduce shared gym rooms. B. To praise a technology company.
C. To support the idea of sharing gym rooms. D. To tell the future of shared gym rooms.
D
Three young American men were on a crowded train when they came across a dangerous robber. Ignoring their personal safety, they rushed the robber and controlled him. Only some people seem capable of this sudden form of heroism (英雄主义). Why some men rise to the occasion — and others don’t — has been a bit difficult to explain. Psychologists have explored this question through biological and personality psychology.
Of course, heroism and courage can appear in many forms, and men and women risk their reputation (名声), health, and social recognition to do what they think is right. When it comes to physically risky bravery, people assume that men will take the lead. There are sound biological reasons for this fixed image. One of the most common fears in men is that they will be viewed as a coward (懦夫), and a man who fails to display physical courage will suffer damage to his reputation in a way that a woman will not. Throughout history, gaining a higher position among peers (同龄人) has been the ticket that needs to get punched for a man to attract future wife and father children.
People tend to have an idea of what heroes are like. When rating (打分) the personalities of movie heroes, participants expected them to be more hard-working, open to experience, approachable, and emotionally stable than the average person. But some studies suggest that people who show heroic behavior usually have the personalities of madmen: risk-taking, coolness under stress, and an eagerness to take over in social situations.
The study of the relationship between personality and heroism is at an early stage. Psychologists are still at a loss to predict in advance who will heroically step up when needed. Often, the hero is an otherwise ordinary person who finds himself on an extraordinary occasion. Meanwhile, some individuals trained to behave heroically might hesitate in a dangerous situation. Various factors like identities, occasions and specific training will influence the final heroism. Hopefully, the right mix of occasion and personalities enable courage to carry the day.
12. How is the topic introduced in the first paragraph?
A. By presenting an idea. B. By giving an example.
C. By making a comparison. D. By drawing a conclusion.
13. What do the underlined words “get punched” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Be bought. B. Be returned. C. Be abandoned. D. Be gained.
14. Why is it difficult to predict who will act heroically in a crisis?
A. Heroes are born, not made.
B. Heroic acts only appear in a specific crisis.
C. Individual personality is not a dependable sign of heroism.
D. Heroism is a phenomenon influenced by numerous factors.
15. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. How Are Heroes Trained? B. Why Are Heroes Important?
C. Who Are the True Heroes? D. What Makes a Person Heroic?

One day, Mrs. Green asked everyone about their dream jobs. The classroom suddenly got filled with eager voices as classmates enthusiastically shared their dreams. “I want to be a college professor,” said Sarah confidently. “I dream of becoming a basketball player,” exclaimed Mike with light in his eye. The air was filled with dreams of doctors, nurses, police and various professions.
When Mrs. Green turned her attention to me, inquiring about my future career, I hesitated. “I don’t know yet,” I admitted. Then she asked if I wished to follow in my dad’s footsteps. “No,” I replied firmly.
My dad is a distinguished doctor with a demanding schedule, who often finds himself engaged in the responsibilities of his job. Thus, he often return s home late in the evening. The limited time we spent together during my growth created a noticeable distance in our relationship. I had such a lot to complain about his job and thus being a doctor would be the last option I would take.
Upon hearing my response, Mrs. Green remained silent. Instead, she encouraged me to reflect further.
A turning point came when our school organized a cultural festival. It was an important event, and we had been preparing for it for a long time. For my role, I needed to purchase a costume. Unfortunately, my mother was abroad, so the responsibility fell on my father. Unwillingly, I agreed, acknowledging that there was no other choice.
In the mall, my dad’s unfamiliarity with the shopping list became apparent. Despite Mom’s thorough list, we wandered aimlessly through the floors, struggling to find the necessary items. As we did, I felt a growing sense of discomfort.
Suddenly, a chaos drew our attention. A crowd had gathered, and someone was shouting for help. It turned out that an elderly customer had a fall, and onlookers were at a loss on how to assist.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Without hesitation, my father rushed forward.

There are, of course, many difficulties in the effective control of carbon emissions, as demonstrated by coal companies to block the introduction of new rules by the US Environmental Protection Agency. Nevertheless, it is impossible to dismiss the progress being made at the local and international levels to promote the use of renewables. The European Union (E.U.), for example, is well on the way to achieving a 20% reduction in GHG emissions from 1990 levels by 2020, along with a 20% increase in the use of renewable energy.
The transition to renewables will be faster due to dramatic improvements in the pricing and performance of such systems. As a result of the steady increases in the efficiency of wind and solar systems, together with the savings achieved through large-scale manufacture, the price of renewables is falling globally. With prices dropping this fast, solar energy is now proving competitive with fossil fuels for generating electricity in many areas.
The change from fossil fuels to renewable energy will not come overnight, and it will not escape many setbacks. Nevertheless, renewables are likely to replace fossil fuels as the main source of electrical power well before mid-century.
4. Vaclav Smil believes that ________.
A. renewable energies are not very practical
B. the change to renewables will come slowly
C. systems of fossil fuels have been firmly set up
D. there are many setbacks of renewable energies
5. We can learn from the passage that European Union ________.
A. has cut down half of the carbon emissions
B. has failed to find a way to reduce GHG emissions
C. is trying their best to encourage the use of renewables
D tries to stop the introduction of new rules on renewables
6. The renewables are more competitive because of ________.
A. their falling prices B. the decline in coal industry
C. international trade D. the new rules on CO2 emission
7. The author writes this passage in order to ________.
A. call on people to use less fossil fuels
B. give advice on how to promote renewables
C. argue that the energy transition will come sooner
D. prove the renewables will be the major source of energy
【答案】4. B 5. C 6. A 7. C
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。风能、太阳能、地热能等可再生能源将取代化石燃料,成为世界能源的主要来源。然而,大多数分析人士坚持认为,这一天在未来几十年内不会到来——当然也不会超过本世纪中叶。许多专家表示,鉴于对以往此类能源变化的了解可知,从化石燃料向可再生能源的转变相对缓慢,从化石燃料到可再生能源的转变不会一蹴而就,也不可避免许多挫折。然而,可再生能源很可能在本世纪中叶之前取代化石燃料成为主要的电力来源。
【4题详解】

After bikes and umbrellas are made sharable across China, some companies started eyeing the fitness market, so shared gym rooms have hit the streets in Beijing.
Unlike common gyms that provide large open spaces for many members to share at the same time, the newly built shared gym rooms are small, separate rooms for a person to use, often set up near living communities.
Every four-square-metre room provides a treadmill (跑步机), an air cleaner, a mirror, a television and an air conditioner, and users can let down the curtains (窗帘) for privacy. When exercising, users can listen to music, watch movies and check emails by connecting to the Internet by the screen fixed on the treadmill. But there’s no shower.
Similar to using a shared bike, users can locate a shared gym room by a smartphone app, book a room in advance and then need to scan a QR code (二维码) for use. A refundable deposit (可退还的押金) of 99 yuan is required, and users are charged 1 yuan every 5 minutes.
The shared gym rooms are created by Misspao, a Beijing-based technology company founded in July. Within several months since it was founded, the company has already raised over 100 million yuan. However, the idea of the shared fitness experience is not totally new. Last December, the company VRUN set up shared treadmills in office and apartment buildings.
The sharing economy is still becoming popular in China. According to Yicai Global, confident people are pouring millions into sharing start-ups. In March, the State Information Centre published a report which says that the total value of China’s sharing economy will see a yearly growth of 40% in the coming years, and it is expected to make a great contribution to the country’s GDP.
8. What makes the shared gym room different from the common one?
A. Sharing open spaces. B. Providing free training courses.
C. Holding one person at a time. D. Having some advanced equipment.
9. What do people need to do to use the shared gym room?
A. Pay 100 yuan first. B. Book a room ahead of time.
C. Have a shower before exercise. D. Let down curtains for privacy.
10. What is the author’s attitude towards China’s sharing economy?
A. Doubtful. B. Unclear. C. Worried. D. Positive.
11 What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To introduce shared gym rooms. B. To praise a technology company.
C. To support the idea of sharing gym rooms. D. To tell the future of shared gym rooms.
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. D 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了在中国出现的新兴产业:共享健身房以及共享健身房的一些特点和使用方法和这个项目的创立过程等。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Unlike common gyms that provide large, open spaces for many members to share at the same time, the newly built shared gym rooms are small, separate rooms for a person to use, often set up near living communities.(与那些为众多会员提供宽敞公共空间供其同时使用的普通健身房不同,新建成的共享健身房房间则较小,是供个人使用的独立房间,通常设置在居民区附近)”可知,共享健身房不同于普通健身房,它一次容纳一个人。故选C。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Similar to using a shared bike, users can locate a shared gym room by a smartphone app, book a room in advance and then need to scan a QR code (二维码) for use.(与使用共享自行车类似,用户可以通过智能手机应用程序找到共享健身房的位置,提前预订房间,然后需要扫描二维码才能使用)”可知,人们需要提前预订房间才能使用共享健身房。故选B。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“The sharing economy is still becoming popular in China.(共享经济在中国仍十分流行)”以及本段中作者引用国家信息中心的预测数据来证明自己的观点,共享经济在中国的发展前景很好。由此推知,作者对中国共享经济的态度是积极的。故选D。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文,并根据第一段“After bikes and umbrellas are made sharable across China, some companies started eyeing the fitness market, so shared gym rooms have hit the streets in Beijing.(在自行车和雨伞在全中国实现了共享使用之后,一些公司开始关注健身市场,于是共享健身房在北京市的街头也出现了)”可知,文章介绍了在中国出现的新兴产业:共享健身房以及共享健身房的一些特点和使用方法和这个项目的创立过程等。所以作者写这篇文章的目的是介绍共享健身房。故选A。
D
Three young American men were on a crowded train when they came across a dangerous robber. Ignoring their personal safety, they rushed the robber and controlled him. Only some people seem capable of this sudden form of heroism (英雄主义). Why some men rise to the occasion — and others don’t — has been a bit difficult to explain. Psychologists have explored this question through biological and personality psychology.
Of course, heroism and courage can appear in many forms, and men and women risk their reputation (名声), health, and social recognition to do what they think is right. When it comes to physically risky bravery, people assume that men will take the lead. There are sound biological reasons for this fixed image. One of the most common fears in men is that they will be viewed as a coward (懦夫), and a man who fails to display physical courage will suffer damage to his reputation in a way that a woman will not. Throughout history, gaining a higher position among peers (同龄人) has been the ticket that needs to get punched for a man to attract future wife and father children.
People tend to have an idea of what heroes are like. When rating (打分) the personalities of movie heroes, participants expected them to be more hard-working, open to experience, approachable, and emotionally stable than the average person. But some studies suggest that people who show heroic behavior usually have the personalities of madmen: risk-taking, coolness under stress, and an eagerness to take over in social situations.
The study of the relationship between personality and heroism is at an early stage. Psychologists are still at a loss to predict in advance who will heroically step up when needed. Often, the hero is an otherwise ordinary person who finds himself on an extraordinary occasion. Meanwhile, some individuals trained to behave heroically might hesitate in a dangerous situation. Various factors like identities, occasions and specific training will influence the final heroism. Hopefully, the right mix of occasion and personalities enable courage to carry the day.
12. How is the topic introduced in the first paragraph?
A. By presenting an idea. B. By giving an example.
C. By making a comparison. D. By drawing a conclusion.
13. What do the underlined words “get punched” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Be bought. B. Be returned. C. Be abandoned. D. Be gained.
14. Why is it difficult to predict who will act heroically in a crisis?
A. Heroes are born, not made.
B. Heroic acts only appear in a specific crisis.
C. Individual personality is not a dependable sign of heroism.
D. Heroism is a phenomenon influenced by numerous factors.
15. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. How Are Heroes Trained? B. Why Are Heroes Important?
C. Who Are the True Heroes? D. What Makes a Person Heroic?
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. D 15. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇议论文,本文讨论了为什么有的人愿意冒着生命危险去救助他人。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Three young American men were on a crowded train when they encountered a heavily armed terrorist. With little regard for their personal safety, they rushed the terrorist and controlled him.(三名年轻的美国男子在拥挤的火车上遇到了一名全副武装的恐怖分子。他们不顾自己的人身安全,冲向恐怖分子并控制住了他)”作者描述了三个年轻的美国人在拥挤的列车上不顾个人安危,挺身而出,勇斗并制服全副武装的恐怖分子。这个具体的事例引出了本篇文章的主题——为什么有的人能成为英雄。故选B。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。结合划线部分所在句中“attaining a position of high status or dominance among one’s peers(在同辈中获得崇高或主导地位)”可推知,在同辈中获得崇高或主导地位对男性来说应是一种荣誉、优势,故此处指在人类历史上,在同辈中获得崇高或主导地位一直是男性吸引伴侣和生育后代的必要条件。get punched指“获取入场券或通行证”。故选D。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。最后一段“Psychologists are still at a loss to predict in advance who will heroically step up when needed. Often, the hero is an otherwise ordinary person who finds himself on an extraordinary occasion. Meanwhile, some individuals trained to behave heroically might hesitate in a dangerous situation(心理学家仍然无法提前预测谁会在需要的时候挺身而出。通常,英雄是一个普通人,他发现自己处于非同寻常的环境中。与此同时,一些受过英勇训练的人可能会在危险情况中犹豫不决)”可知,心理学家们仍然无法提前预测谁会在需要时挺身而出。因为英雄主义是与复杂的个人特质有关, 往往是在极端压力和不确定性下表现出来。然而有些人可能接受过英雄主义行为的训练,但这并不意味着他们在所有情况下都能表现出英勇行为,他们可能会在危机中犹豫或失去勇气。 由于个体差异、 不确定情境、受训经历、心理情绪多种因素的影响,很难预测谁会在危机中英勇行动。故选D。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据全文内容,结合第一段中“Why some men rise to the occasion — and others don’t — has been a bit tricky to explain. Psychologists have explored this question through biological and personality psychology.(为什么有些男人能应付得了,而有些人却不能,这一点很难解释。心理学家通过生物心理学和人格心理学探索了这个问题)”可知,文章主要讲心理学家通过生物心理学和人格心理学探讨了为什么有人愿意冒着生命危险去救助他人这个问题。故选D。

【答案】Learning English Beyond the Classroom
A survey on out-of-class English learning methods shows that reading English books is the most popular, chosen by 43% of students. Watching English movies or TV shows comes next at 27%, while 25% prefer listening to English songs. Only 5% use English learning apps.
In my view, each method has its strengths. Reading helps build a solid vocabulary and grammar foundation, while movies and songs expose learners to real-life language and pronunciation. Even apps, though less used, can offer convenient practice. Combining these ways can make after-class English learning more efficient and enjoyable.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
One day, Mrs. Green asked everyone about their dream jobs. The classroom suddenly got filled with eager voices as classmates enthusiastically shared their dreams. “I want to be a college professor,” said Sarah confidently. “I dream of becoming a basketball player,” exclaimed Mike with light in his eye. The air was filled with dreams of doctors, nurses, police and various professions.
When Mrs. Green turned her attention to me, inquiring about my future career, I hesitated. “I don’t know yet,” I admitted. Then she asked if I wished to follow in my dad’s footsteps. “No,” I replied firmly.
My dad is a distinguished doctor with a demanding schedule, who often finds himself engaged in the responsibilities of his job. Thus, he often return s home late in the evening. The limited time we spent together during my growth created a noticeable distance in our relationship. I had such a lot to complain about his job and thus being a doctor would be the last option I would take.
Upon hearing my response, Mrs. Green remained silent. Instead, she encouraged me to reflect further.
A turning point came when our school organized a cultural festival. It was an important event and we had been preparing for it for a long time. For my role, I needed to purchase a costume. Unfortunately, my mother was abroad, so the responsibility fell on my father. Unwillingly, I agreed, acknowledging that there was no other choice.
In the mall, my dad’s unfamiliarity with the shopping list became apparent. Despite Mom’s thorough list, we wandered aimlessly through the floors, struggling to find the necessary items. As we did, I felt a growing sense of discomfort.
Suddenly, a chaos drew our attention. A crowd had gathered, and someone was shouting for help. It turned out that an elderly customer had a fall, and onlookers were at a loss on how to assist.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Without hesitation, my father rushed forward.

【答案】 Without hesitation, my father rushed forward. He pushed through the crowd, his demeanor calm and collected despite the chaos around him. Kneeling beside the elderly customer, he quickly assessed the situation and instructed bystanders to call an ambulance. With gentle hands, he comforted the frightened old man, assuring him that help was on the way. As he tended to the injured, my father’s expertise as a doctor shone through, and I couldn’t help but be impressed. His actions spoke louder than any words ever could, showing me a side of him I had never seen before. The crowd dispersed, and when the ambulance arrived, my father carefully explained the situation to the paramedics before they took the elderly man away. Standing there, watching him, I realized that being a doctor wasn’t just about long hours and sacrifices; it was also about making a difference in people’s lives.
For the first time, I felt a sense of pride in his work. As we walked out of the mall, I couldn’t help but ask him about his experiences as a doctor, and he shared stories of the moments that had brought him joy and fulfillment. I listened intently, seeing him in a new light. That night, when he returned home late, instead of feeling annoyed, I greeted him with a hug and thanked him for what he did. From then on, our relationship began to mend, and I found myself looking up to him in a way I never had before. My perspective on his job changed, and I realized that being a doctor wasn’t just a demanding profession; it was a calling that allowed him to touch lives and make a real impact. As I grew older, I even found myself considering following in his footsteps, inspired by his dedication and compassion.
