Four Top Audiobook (有声读物) Apps
Scribd
If you’re looking to combine your audiobook listening with e-books and news publications, Scribd might be the app for you. Its massive library includes a healthy balance of traditionally published books, bestsellers, and Scribd originals. Scribd also runs an associated program, which gives you one free month for every friend you invite, and gives your friend a two-month trial. If you're a writer, Scribd also has an open publishing platform to help you self-publish your audiobooks in minutes.
Kobo Books
Best known as an e-book retailer, Kobo Books also offers audiobooks on its platform. You get unlimited access to over 100,000 audiobooks in its library for only a few dollars. The app also does a good job organizing your purchased books, and its in-app statistics are brilliant for readers, knowing your reading habits in detail, while suggesting new recommended titles based on your history.
eStories
With over 120,000 different types of audiobooks to choose from, eStories starts off with a half-price offer for your first 3 months, and then switches to a higher-priced subscription. Members get discounted prices on additional audiobooks as well as other benefits such as extra credits and extended periods of use. As a member, you also get 30 days to return a book if you don’t like it. Additionally, the app provides unlimited storage for your own audio that you can upload.
Libby
Libby lets you borrow e-books and audiobooks from your local library. A library membership lets you access several thousand audiobooks on its app entirely free of cost. While the availability of titles depends on the library you're a member of, you’d still be getting free access to a lot of books that you’d otherwise have to pay for. The catch is that since you're technically borrowing the books, you only have two weeks to get through them before they're returned. Plus, it must be noted that this app is only operational in North America.
1. What is an advantage of Kobo Books?
A. It helps sell the books you have already read. B. It advertises your books on its platform regularly.
C. It recommends books based on your reading habits. D. It allows you to read books in its library for free.

【3题详解】

A faithful dog survived for over 10 weeks after her owner died unexpectedly while hiking in the Colorado Mountains. Up to now she has regained most of her weight lost during the suffering and is back on the hiking footpaths as usual.
Rich Moore,71, of Pagosa Springs, Colorado, set out with his Jack Russell terrier (小猎狗) named Finney to climb Blackhead Peak on Aug.19, but didn’t return home. A days- long search between the peak and his vehicle was unsuccessful. The searchers were about to give up when a hunter found Rich’s body and Finney accompanying his owner in the San Juan Mountains of southwestern Colorado on October 30. Finney had lost about half her body weight and her ribs (肋骨) were visible.
Three weeks later, “Finney is doing well,” said Moore’s wife, Dana Holby. “She has gained almost all of her weight back and her strength is almost where it was. She is a magical dog.” She does have an injury on her nose that might leave a scar. Holby added that Finney is now 3, very clingy, and will not let me out of her sight. Her great appetite has calmed down, but at first, she could not get enough to eat and wanted food at all times of the day and night.
Finney’s survival story has made her famous on the hiking footpaths around Pagosa Springs.
4. How does the author start the passage?
A. By describing a situation. B. By answering a question.
C. By holding a conversation. D. By comparing different opinions.
5. What does the underlined word “clingy” in paragraph 3 mean?

C. The scar on her nose disappeared. D. Her living environment became good.
7. What does the author want to tell us in the passage?
A. Hiking is dangerous. B. Searchers are real heroes.
C. A dog is man’s best friend. D. A good dog deserves a good bone.
【答案】4. A 5. D 6. D 7. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了一只名叫Finney的忠诚小狗在主人意外去世后,独自在科罗拉多山脉生存了超过10周的故事,展现了狗对主人的深厚情感和顽强生命力。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“A faithful dog survived for over 10 weeks after her owner died unexpectedly while hiking in the Colorado Mountains. Up to now she has regained most of her weight lost during the suffering and is back on the hiking footpaths as usual. (一只忠诚的狗在主人意外死于科罗拉多山脉徒步旅行后,存活了超过10周。到目前为止,她已经恢复了在苦难中失去的大部分体重,并像往常一样回到了徒步小径上。)”可知,作者通过描述一只忠诚的狗在主人去世后独自生存了10周的情景来开始这篇文章。故选A项。
【5题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段划线词所在句“Holby added that Finney is now 3, very clingy, and will not let me out of her sight. ( Holby补充说,Finney现在3岁了,非常clingy,不会让我离开她的视线。)”可知,Finney非常依赖Holby,不会让她离开自己的视线,因此“clingy”在这里的意思是“依赖的、粘人的”,与“Dependent”意义相近。故选D项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Her great appetite has calmed down, but at first, she could not get enough to eat and wanted food at all times of the day and night. (她旺盛食欲已经有所减退,但起初,她怎么吃都吃不饱,一天到晚都想吃东西。)”可知,Finney一开始吃不饱,所以胃口很大,现在胃口减退下来,是因为她的生活环境变好了,能够吃饱了。故选D项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“A faithful dog survived for over 10 weeks after her owner died unexpectedly while hiking in the Colorado Mountains. (一只忠诚的狗在主人意外死于科罗拉多山脉徒步旅行后,存活了超过10周。)”以及全文内容可知,文章主要讲述了一只忠诚的狗在主人去世后不离不弃,独自生存了10周的故事,展现了狗对主人的深厚情感和顽强生命力,因此作者想告诉我们的是“狗是人类最好的朋友”。故选C项。

The 9th China-South Asia Expo, set to take place from June 19th to 24th, 2025, in Kunming, Yunnan Province, continues to uphold the theme of “Unity, Collaboration, and Joint Development”.

In the following five days, the expo is open to the general public, enabling more people to experience the charm of South Asian cultures and products.
The decision to fix the expo in June is not arbitrary. June is a time when the weather in Kunming is pleasant, which is suitable for hosting large-scale events.

(6月是昆明天气宜人的时候,适合举办大型活动。此外,它还为参展国家和企业提供了更稳定的时间表,以便提前做好准备。此外,固定的时间安排有助于提升博览会的品牌形象,吸引更多的国际关注。)”可知,博览会定在6月是因为6月昆明天气好,有助于准备工作和品牌建设。故选B。

Artificial intelligence-enabled voice cloning tools have made it easier for criminals to imitate strangers’ voices and trick victims into handing over large sums of money.
For example, a scammer might target a victim posing as their grandchild and claiming they require cash fast. Older people who might not be familiar with new technologies such as AI can be particularly subject to these types of scams, particularly when the caller on the other line sounds identical to a loved one.
In 2023 senior citizens were cheated out of roughly $3.4 billion in a range of financial crimes, according to the FBI data. The agency recently warned that AI has increased the “believability” or criminal scams by assisting with content creation and correcting human errors that might otherwise serve as warning signs of a trick.
“So much of the fraud (欺诈)is based on psychology,” Chuck Herrin, field chief information security officer for F5, a security and fraud prevention firm, told CBS MoneyWatch. “They say things that bring about a fear-based emotional response because they know when humans get afraid, we get stupid and don’t exercise the best judgement.”
Cybersecurity experts have a simple but effective recommendation for avoiding getting victimized by such scams: creating a family “safe word” to verify a family member or loved one’s identity. That means choosing a word or phrase that can’t be easily guessed.
“It needs to be unique and should be something that’s difficult to guess,” James Scobey, chief information security officer at Keeper Security, told CBS MoneyWatch. “It shouldn’t be something that can be researched online about you or your family. Avoid street names, towns, phone numbers and individual names as part of a pass phrase.” A safe phrase, consisting of at least four words, offers a greater degree of security, he added.
Using a safe word is a good first line of defense against scammers. So, any time you are asked for financial assistance, always ask for the safe word before transferring any money.
12. What is the threat posed by AI-enabled voice cloning tools?
A. They help strangers create fake identities.
B. They trick victims into giving away money.
C. They increase the believability of a grandchild.
D. They prevent victims from recovering lost funds.
13. What is the psychological strategy used in fraud?
A. Inspiring physical response.
B. Assisting with content creation.
C. Using fright to cause poor judgement.
D. Interrupting the decision-making process.
14. What does the underlined word “verify” in paragraph 5 mean?
A. Expose. B. Confirm. C. Suggest. D. Represent.
15. What is recommended when creating a safe phrase?
A. It should be shared with new friends.
B. It should be the same for every family member.
C. It should be easily recalled by family members.
D. It should avoid using personal details found online.
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. B 15. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了人工智能技术加持的语音克隆工具给犯罪分子提供了新的诈骗手段,使其更容易模仿陌生人的声音,骗取受害者大额钱财,对此专家给出了一些防止受骗的方法。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Artificial intelligence-enabled voice cloning tools have made it easier for criminals to imitate strangers’ voices and trick victims into handing over large sums of money.(人工智能技术加持的语音克隆工具使犯罪分子更容易模仿陌生人的声音,并诱骗受害者交出大笔钱财。)”可知,AI语音克隆工具使犯罪分子更容易诱骗受害者交出大笔钱财。故选B项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“‘So much of the fraud is based on psychology,’ Chuck Herrin, field chief information security officer for F5, a security and fraud prevention firm, told CBS MoneyWatch. ‘They say things that bring about a fear-based emotional response because they know when humans get afraid, we get stupid and don’t exercise the best judgement.’(一家安全和防欺诈公司F5的现场首席信息安全官Chuck Herrin告诉CBS MoneyWatch:‘如此多的欺诈行为都是基于心理学的。’他们说一些会引起基于恐惧的情绪反应的话,因为他们知道,当人类感到害怕时,我们就会变傻,不能做出最好的判断。)”可知,诈骗犯使用的心理策略是利用恐惧导致人们做出错误的判断。故选C项。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第五段的“Cybersecurity experts have a simple but effective recommendation for avoiding getting victimized by such scams: creating a family ‘safe word’ to verify a family member or loved one’s identity.(网络安全专家有一个简单但有效的建议,以避免成为此类骗局的受害者:创建一个家庭“安全词”来verify家庭成员或亲人的身份。)”可知,网络安全的建议就是创建一个家庭的“安全词”,这样做的目的是为了“确认”家庭成员或亲人的身份,故划线词意思是“确认”。故选B项。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的“‘It needs to be unique and should be something that’s difficult to guess,’ James Scobey, chief information security officer at Keeper Security, told CBS MoneyWatch. ‘It shouldn’t be something that can be researched online about you or your family. Avoid street names, towns, phone numbers and individual names as part of a pass phrase.’(Keeper Security的首席信息安全官James Scobey告诉CBS MoneyWatch:‘它必须是独一无二的,而且应该是很难猜到的。它不应该是可以在网上搜索到你或你家人的一些东西。避免使用街道名称、城镇名称、电话号码和个人姓名作为密码短语的一部分。’)”可知,创建安全短语时,应避免使用在网上能找到的个人信息。故选D项。

Four Top Audiobook (有声读物) Apps
Scribd
If you’re looking to combine your audiobook listening with e-books and news publications, Scribd might be the app for you. Its massive library includes a healthy balance of traditionally published books, bestsellers, and Scribd originals. Scribd also runs an associated program, which gives you one free month for every friend you invite, and gives your friend a two-month trial. If you're a writer, Scribd also has an open publishing platform to help you self-publish your audiobooks in minutes.
Kobo Books
Best known as an e-book retailer, Kobo Books also offers audiobooks on its platform. You get unlimited access to over 100,000 audiobooks in its library for only a few dollars. The app also does a good job organizing your purchased books, and its in-app statistics are brilliant for readers, knowing your reading habits in detail, while suggesting new recommended titles based on your history.
eStories
With over 120,000 different types of audiobooks to choose from, eStories starts off with a half-price offer for your first 3 months, and then switches to a higher-priced subscription. Members get discounted prices on additional audiobooks as well as other benefits such as extra credits and extended periods of use. As a member, you also get 30 days to return a book if you don’t like it. Additionally, the app provides unlimited storage for your own audio that you can upload.
Libby
Libby lets you borrow e-books and audiobooks from your local library. A library membership lets you access several thousand audiobooks on its app entirely free of cost. While the availability of titles depends on the library you're a member of, you’d still be getting free access to a lot of books that you’d otherwise have to pay for. The catch is that since you're technically borrowing the books, you only have two weeks to get through them before they're returned. Plus, it must be noted that this app is only operational in North America.

A faithful dog survived for over 10 weeks after her owner died unexpectedly while hiking in the Colorado Mountains. Up to now she has regained most of her weight lost during the suffering and is back on the hiking footpaths as usual.
Rich Moore,71, of Pagosa Springs, Colorado, set out with his Jack Russell terrier (小猎狗) named Finney to climb Blackhead Peak on Aug.19, but didn’t return home. A days- long search between the peak and his vehicle was unsuccessful. The searchers were about to give up when a hunter found Rich’s body and Finney accompanying his owner in the San Juan Mountains of southwestern Colorado on October 30. Finney had lost about half her body weight and her ribs (肋骨) were visible.
Three weeks later, “Finney is doing well,” said Moore’s wife, Dana Holby. “She has gained almost all of her weight back and her strength is almost where it was. She is a magical dog.” She does have an injury on her nose that might leave a scar. Holby added that Finney is now 3, very clingy, and will not let me out of her sight. Her great appetite has calmed down, but at first, she could not get enough to eat and wanted food at all times of the day and night.
Finney’s survival story has made her famous on the hiking footpaths around Pagosa Springs.
4. How does the author start the passage?

C. By holding a conversation. D. By comparing different opinions.

7. What does the author want to tell us in the passage?
A. Hiking is dangerous. B. Searchers are real heroes.

The China-South Asia Expo, a significant event for promoting economic and trade cooperation between China and South Asian countries, has recently announced a major scheduling change. Starting from this year, the expo will be held annually in June, with a fixed duration of six days.
The 9th China-South Asia Expo, set to take place from June 19th to 24th, 2025, in Kunming, Yunnan Province, continues to uphold the theme of “Unity, Collaboration, and Joint Development”. It adopts a model that combines offline and online activities, aiming to provide a more comprehensive platform for exhibitors and visitors. On the first day of the expo, only professional visitors are allowed to enter the exhibition halls. This allows businesses and industry insiders to have in-depth discussions and negotiations. In the following five days, the expo is open to the general public, enabling more people to experience the charm of South Asian cultures and products.
The decision to fix the expo in June is not arbitrary. June is a time when the weather in Kunming is pleasant, which is suitable for hosting large-scale events. Also, it provides a more stable schedule for participating countries and enterprises to make preparations in advance. Moreover, the fixed-time arrangement helps to enhance the brand image of the expo and attract more international attention. With this new scheduling, the China-South Asia Expo is expected to play an even more crucial role in promoting regional economic integration.

Artificial intelligence-enabled voice cloning tools have made it easier for criminals to imitate strangers’ voices and trick victims into handing over large sums of money.
For example, a scammer might target a victim posing as their grandchild and claiming they require cash fast. Older people who might not be familiar with new technologies such as AI can be particularly subject to these types of scams, particularly when the caller on the other line sounds identical to a loved one.
In 2023, senior citizens were cheated out of roughly $3.4 billion in a range of financial crimes, according to the FBI data. The agency recently warned that AI has increased the “believability” or criminal scams by assisting with content creation and correcting human errors that might otherwise serve as warning signs of a trick.
“So much of the fraud (欺诈)is based on psychology,” Chuck Herrin, field chief information security officer for F5, a security and fraud prevention firm, told CBS MoneyWatch. “They say things that bring about a fear-based emotional response because they know when humans get afraid, we get stupid and don’t exercise the best judgement.”
Cybersecurity experts have a simple but effective recommendation for avoiding getting victimized by such scams: creating a family “safe word” to verify a family member or loved one’s identity. That means choosing a word or phrase that can’t be easily guessed.
“It needs to be unique and should be something that’s difficult to guess,” James Scobey, chief information security officer at Keeper Security, told CBS MoneyWatch. “It shouldn’t be something that can be researched online about you or your family. Avoid street names, towns, phone numbers and individual names as part of a pass phrase.” A safe phrase, consisting of at least four words, offers a greater degree of security, he added.
Using a safe word is a good first line of defense against scammers. So, any time you are asked for financial assistance, always ask for the safe word before transferring any money.
12. What is the threat posed by AI-enabled voice cloning tools?
A. They help strangers create fake identities.
B. They trick victims into giving away money.
C. They increase the believability of a grandchild.
D. They prevent victims from recovering lost funds.
13. What is the psychological strategy used in fraud?
A. Inspiring physical response.
B. Assisting with content creation.
C Using fright to cause poor judgement.
D. Interrupting the decision-making process.
14. What does the underlined word “verify” in paragraph 5 mean?
A. Expose. B. Confirm. C. Suggest. D. Represent.
15. What is recommended when creating a safe phrase?
A. It should be shared with new friends.
B. It should be the same for every family member.
C It should be easily recalled by family members.
D. It should avoid using personal details found online.
