Below is a list of my favorite ways to learn languages from my phone. Google Translate Most of apps teach you a language through exercises and progressive steps, while Google’s simply tells you how to write and speak anything you run through it. Still, I think it’s a great choice for beginners. I like to learn languages with Google Translate for two main reasons: its long list of supported languages, and the several language learning methods. Memrise Memrise isn’t as easy to use for quick translations as Google Translate, but it is easy to work with, supports offline courses, and lets you learn a number of languages. You can start off simple or skip all the way through to more advanced lessons. I find Memrise to be unique in how it teaches new words and phrases. They combine words into sentences alongside words that sound similar in your language, which makes it easier to remember. Busuu Busuu’s app is user-friendly. You get to pick where you’d like to begin in the course. The words and phrases you’ll learn are especially helpful for beginners who might find themselves around people speaking a foreign language and need to learn words in real situations quickly. However, Busuu doesn’t support as many languages as some of these other apps, and you do need a user account to get in. Rosetta Stone Rosetta Stone is designed specifically for helping travelers learn basic words and phrases. There’s also a phrasebook with basic words and words related to restaurants, hotels, and getting around—all very useful for someone traveling. If you want, you can buy additional phrasebooks covering topics like shopping, colors, emergencies, and so on. 1. Which apps are suitable for beginners according to the author? A. Memrise and Busuu. B. Rosetta Stone and Memrise. C. Busuu and Google Translate. D. Google Translate and Rosetta Stone. 2. What is special about Memrise? A. It is designed for travelers. B. It has real-time translation. C. It supports a large number of languages. D. It has unusual methods of teaching vocabulary. 3. In which part of a magazine may this text appear? A. Technology. B. History. C. Travelling. D. Business. 【答案】1. C 2. D 3. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了几种在手机上学习语言的应用程序。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Google Translate(谷歌翻译)”部分的“I think it’s a great choice for beginners.(我认为这对初学者来说是个不错的选择)”以及“Busuu(博树)”部分的“The words and phrases you’ll learn are especially helpful for beginners who might find themselves around people speaking a foreign language and need to learn words in real situations quickly.(你将学习的单词和短语对初学者特别有帮助，因为他们可能会发现自己身边有人在说外语，需要在实际情况下快速学习单词)”可知，作者认为谷歌翻译和博树这个两个软件适合初学者，故选C项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Memrise (忆术家)”部分的“I find Memrise to be unique in how it teaches new words and phrases. They combine words into sentences alongside words that sound similar in your language, which makes it easier to remember(我发现忆术家在教授新词和短语方面是独一无二的。它们将单词与在你的语言中听起来相似的单词组合成句子，这样更容易记住)”可知，它在教词汇方面有独特的方法，故选D项。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Using an app to learn a language is convenient because you can follow lessons and check your progress anywhere, even if there’s just a few minutes. Below is a list of my favorite ways to learn languages from my phone(使用应用程序学习语言很方便，因为你可以在任何地方学习课程并检查你的进度，即使只有几分钟的时间。下面是我最喜欢的从手机学习语言的方法列表)”以及下文“Google Translate(谷歌翻译)”、“Busuu(博树)”、“Memrise(忆术家)”以及“Rosetta Stone(如师通)”可知本文介绍几种在手机上学习语言的应用程序，可推理出本文最后可能出现在杂志的技术专栏，故选A项。 Passage 2 （24-25学年高二上·河南新未来·期末） The Double Ninth Festival is a traditional Chinese festival which takes place on the ninth day of the ninth month in the Chinese calendar.

There are plenty of outdoor theatres to choose from, and we’ve put together a list of the best ones. Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre, London No matter the weather, when Regent’s Park starts its theatre season, summer has truly begun. Surrounded by thick whistling trees and singing birds, you may as well be a thousand miles from the surrounding city. This year sees a typically varied programme with Twelfth Night opening, Fiddler on the Roof closing and plenty in between. Thorington Theatre, Suffolk A new and beautiful addition to the outdoor theatre world, opening in 201, Thorington is hidden in the Suffolk woodlands. This year’s programme includes family favourites such as Teddy Bear’s Picnic and The Little Mermaid, Shakespeare’s The Tempest as well as A Midsummer Night’s Dream, and a little Sondheim with Sunday in the Park with George. You can also now order a picnic from local supper club Husk to meet you an hour before your show. Minack Theatre, Cornwall Built into a cliff (悬崖) face in Porthcurno, you hardly need an excuse to visit this theatre. This year sees touring productions of Little Shop of Horrors, The Massive Tragedy of Madame Bovary and the usual knowledge of Shakespeare amongst other things. If you want a show particularly fitting for this unique surrounding, check out The Pirates of Penzance playing in September. Roman Theatre Open Air Festival St Alban’s Situated in the country’s oldest theatre still actually producing theatre — an old Roman theatre, hence the name — this year the festival offers a mix of straight classics, modern retellings and brand-new scripts (剧本). I’m a person interested in any production of Sondheim’s Into the Woods, and as the name suggests, there’s no better place to see it than an outdoor theatre. 1. What do the four theaters have in common? A. They are newly built. B. They are built outdoors. C. They show Shakespeare’s plays. D. They intend to open in summer. 2.

(今年的节目包括家庭最爱，如《泰迪熊的野餐》和《小美人鱼》、莎士比亚的《暴风雨》和《仲夏夜之梦》，以及《星期天与乔治同游公园》的小桑德海姆)”可知，这里有适合家庭观看的节目，所以最适合布朗一家和他们的孩子。故选B。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Roman Theatre Open Air Festival St Alban’s部分“I’m a person interested in any production of Sondheim’s Into the Woods, and as the name suggests, there’s no better place to see it than an outdoor theatre.

Below is a list of my favorite ways to learn languages from my phone. Google Translate Most of apps teach you a language through exercises and progressive steps, while Google’s simply tells you how to write and speak anything you run through it. Still, I think it’s a great choice for beginners. I like to learn languages with Google Translate for two main reasons: its long list of supported languages, and the several language learning methods. Memrise Memrise isn’t as easy to use for quick translations as Google Translate, but it is easy to work with, supports offline courses, and lets you learn a number of languages. You can start off simple or skip all the way through to more advanced lessons. I find Memrise to be unique in how it teaches new words and phrases. They combine words into sentences alongside words that sound similar in your language, which makes it easier to remember. Busuu Busuu’s app is user-friendly. You get to pick where you’d like to begin in the course. The words and phrases you’ll learn are especially helpful for beginners who might find themselves around people speaking a foreign language and need to learn words in real situations quickly. However, Busuu doesn’t support as many languages as some of these other apps, and you do need a user account to get in. Rosetta Stone Rosetta Stone is designed specifically for helping travelers learn basic words and phrases. There’s also a phrasebook with basic words and words related to restaurants, hotels, and getting around—all very useful for someone traveling. If you want, you can buy additional phrasebooks covering topics like shopping, colors, emergencies, and so on. 1. Which apps are suitable for beginners according to the author? A. Memrise and Busuu. B. Rosetta Stone and Memrise. C. Busuu and Google Translate. D. Google Translate and Rosetta Stone. 2. What is special about Memrise? A. It is designed for travelers. B. It has real-time translation.
