For most courses, there are multiple camera angles offering close-ups of the left and right hands. Because of this presenting style, however, things can get crowded on the mobile app—it’s definitely a platform that works better on a desktop. Courses can be purchased individually, but this will be expensive if you’re planning on more than a couple. Grabbing an All Access subscription will instead give you unlimited streams of True Fire’s entire list. Price: Either per-course, or $ 29/month or $249/year The Gibson App Gibson’s new smartphone app is aimed at guitarists of all levels. Essentially, this is a system that responds to you as you play along to lessons and exercises, making the experience feel like an interactive lesson. What we especially like about the app is how players get a free one-on-one video guidance with a professional Gibson guitar tech. Price: $ 14.99 a month or $ 89.99 a year Yousician Yousician is designed for both beginners and intermediate players. Suitable for guitar, bass and even ukulele, the app offers step-by-step video tutorials, plus the ability to provide instant feedback on your performance. The app is free to download but it does require a subscription for unlimited and uninterrupted playtime across all platforms. Price: Free (subscription service offered starting at $19.99 per month) Band Lab Band Lab is the perfect DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) for cooperation. You can upload tracks to the cloud-based workstation to further your music with over 100 guitar and bass presets. Not in the mood to write?

It was after I met with an advertisement in a newspaper looking for people to join a team to ski 350 miles to the North Pole. Back in 1996, there had never been a woman from the UK who had accomplished this challenge. I wondered what it would be like to survive in temperatures cold enough to freeze your flesh in seconds, so I sent off the application form. The application form full of pictures of male explorers arrived. The words “Are you man enough for the ultimate (极限的) challenge?” made me angry and even more determined to join the team. Over 500 individuals applied for a place in the team, and the selection process included physical and psychological tests designed to pick the best group. In one test, there was a huge rope ladder we had to climb, and I froze at the top because I have a fear of heights. I thought my hopes were fading as most other applicants sailed past, leaving me behind. But two others helped me over, and later I found out that the organizers were not looking for amazing individuals, but great team players, and this moment had shown them who would take care of others in the team. I had revealed my weakness, and in a place like the Arctic, you have to be yourself, as there is nowhere to hide. These personalities of seeking for help and showing weakness are necessary for women to master. I realized that by being myself, I could succeed. I was eventually selected for the team. I got to be aware that I could achieve more than I ever imagined-more importantly, by sharing my story with others, I could inspire them to take a step into the new world and reveal more of their abilities. 24. What was the author’s reaction to the advertisement? A. She got annoyed. B. She was indifferent. C. She got scared. D. She was determined. 25. What did the organizers regard as the most significant about selecting new hands? A. Character. B. Individual capability. C. Spirit of cooperation. D. Bravery to challenge. 26. What does the author think of women’s displaying weakness? A. Shameful. B. Beneficial. C. Inappropriate. D. Disappointing. 27. What’s the author’s purpose of writing this text? A. To motivate us to prepare for our ambition. B. To recommend women to seek for help. C. To encourage people to explore the unknown. D. To provide guidance for her team members. C Despite the fact that butterflies are important indicators of ecosystem health because of their sensitivity to environmental changes, their populations are declining. A new research reveals that simple changes to road verges can boost the number of butterflies. While most studies on road verges and butterflies have focused on temperate climates with natural plants in rural areas, new research from Nanyang Technological University (NTU) examined planted vegetation along major roads in big cities of Singapore. Researchers surveyed 101 road verges, each at least 30m long, located along major roads with speed limits between 50 km/h and 70 km/h, and planted with non-native bushes. They found verges with a mixture of different flowering plant species directly increased the total number of butterflies and butterfly species. “A greater diversity of flowering plants can offer a variety of nectar (花蜜) sources for butterflies. This can attract more species of butterflies, especially those that prefer a broad range of nectar from different flowers,” explains Associate Professor Eleanor Slade from NTU’s Asian School of the Environment. Selective thinning and less frequent cutting also benefited butterfly numbers and species diversity, with the verges seen as paths linking the insects to other green spaces. Slade says this could be because a greater variety of plant heights within road verges creates different micro-climatic conditions variations in temperature, humidity (湿度) and light intensity—that appeal to different butterflies. More uniform plant heights created by frequently cutting verge plants can reduce the population of the butterflies and species richness and offer less protection. The study also showed busy roads negatively affect butterflies and butterfly species, particularly when traffic density(密度) is higher; this typically occurs when road speed limits are higher, and vehicles travel faster. Roads with more traffic density also have greater vehicle pollution, which can affect both plants and butterflies. But the researchers say the benefits of road verges could cancel out these effects if traffic speeds are proper. They found that for roads with speed limits of up to 70 km/h, the bad effects of traffic on butterflies could be reduced by increasing the variety of flowering plants on road verges and allowing them to grow to varying heights. 28. What sets the study of NTU apart from previous ones? A. It takes climate change into consideration. B. It investigates grown plants in the urban area. C. It concentrates on ecosystems along rural roadsides. D. It analyzes butterfly behavior in the forest. 29. What is the intention of mentioning Eleanor Slade in paragraph 3? A. To account for research methods. B. To put forward strategies for improvement. C. To demonstrate the city is more suitable for research. D. To back the findings of the new study. 30. How can we protect butterflies from the negative effects of traffic? A. By introducing a diversity of flowering species. B. By regularly mowing verge plants. C. By constructing protective barriers between roads and plants. D. By permitting plants to grow to a specific height. 31. What can be inferred from the passage? A. Increasing plant height alone is sufficient to protect butterflies from the negative effects of traffic. B. The primary threat to butterflies in urban areas stems from traffic pollution. C. Proper management of road verges can help improve butterfly diversity despite urban traffic. D. Butterfly species in rural areas are less affected by road verges than those in urban areas. D The primary criticism (批评) of social networking is that it causes our young people to lose their offline friends to online friends. Actually, there is a lot of research that suggests these criticisms are generally unfounded. Research by the Pew Internet and American Life Project found that people are not replacing offline friends with online companions but are using social networking to support their offline relationships. However, there is one part of social networking that is deeply worrying. We find ourselves in a hyper-connected world where people access social media day and night, excited to make announcements about the tiniest details of their lives. Research is starting to show that this culture is negatively affecting not our friendships but our characters. Professor Larry Rosen, in his book iDisorder, says that young people who overuse social networking sites can become vain and aggressive. But perhaps an even more disturbing effect is that one of our most basic emotions seems to be disappearing—empathy. This is the emotion that bonds us together; it allows us to see the world from our friends’ points of view. Without it, we are far less able to connect and form meaningful adult relationships. Sherry Turkle, a professor of the Social Studies of Science and Technology at MIT, suggests that people are no longer comfortable being alone. This is something confirmed by a study where 200 university students were asked to go without social media for 24 hours. Many admitted an addiction to their online social network; most complained that they felt cut off from their family and friends. But being alone is a time, Turkle argues, when we self-reflect and get in touch with who we really are. It is only when we do this that we can make meaningful friendships with others. She believes, as is the title of her book, that we are simply “Alone Together”. These potential changes in our characters are rather disturbing. If nothing is done, our young people could well be in trouble. Therefore, suggestions about ways to encourage our young people to avoid the problems of social networking should be made, so they can develop the kinds of friendships that are required to grow into well-adjusted and happy adults. 32. What is the probable meaning of the underlined word “unfounded” in paragraph 1? A. certain. B. incorrect. C. acceptable. D. illegal. 33. What can we conclude from the passage? A. The benefits of social media outweigh the drawbacks. B. Young people are more likely to build offline friendships. C. Young people are dependent on social media. D. We are becoming unable to understand others well without empathy. 34. According to Sherry Turkle, how can we make meaningful friendships with others? A. By communicating with online friends. B. By avoiding the problems of social networking. C. By reflecting and getting in touch with ourselves. D. By having discussions with a much broader range of people. 85. What is the passage mainly about? A. Internet culture results in various problems. B. We are losing some most essential emotions. C. Online friendships are beneficial to offline friendships. D. Social networking influences young people’s personalities. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 We’ve all experienced it: a song plays on the radio and suddenly we find ourselves flashing back to a moment from our past. 36 Several factors link music to our memories. Music is often a key part of significant life events, and it is also very effective in attracting our attention. 37 Furthermore, the emotional quality of music makes it especially easy to remember. We usually get familiar with a piece of music because we hear it as background music. Generally, the more familiar a piece of music is, the more effective it is in bringing back memories. 38 This is because we are much more likely to hear a song repeatedly than to watch a movie or a same manner. Writing for a culture column, Tiffany Jenkins offers a distinct perspective: 39 She explains how throughout history oral cultures have passed important knowledge from generation to generation through songs owing to this characteristic. The rhythm (韵律) and rhyme in lines of songs both act as tools to aid memory. 40 This fact corresponds with what many experts call the “reminiscence bump (记忆突点)”, where older adults (over forty) have increased recollection of events that occurred during t their adolescence and early adulthood. It’s evident that our memories and music are closely connected-to the point that music is being used to help Alzheimer’s disease sufferers access memories that they believe they have lost. A. Familiarity is crucial. B. Music itself is easy to remember. C. But what makes music so effective in doing this? D. Our musical preference usually forms during our teens. E. This applies to music more than other cultural products. F. Pop music especially can be connected with an important memory. G. Music and these life events are likely to be linked together in our memories. 第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 In a small village at the foot of a towering mountain lived a young woman named Maya.

The US economy, which is already experiencing softening demand, 58 (expect) to grow just 1.8 percent this year, or 0.9 percentage point below earlier forecasts, 59 nearly half of that downgrade is directly related 60 new tariffs, according to the IMF report. “The idea of using tariffs to ‘make America great again’ will likely lead to the 61 (oppose) result,” said Justin Yifu Lin, former chief economist of the World Bank and dean of the Institute of New Structural Economics at Peking University. US tariff policies are intended 62 (protect) industries in which the US does not have comparative advantages. Even if the US could bolster these industries, they would “require protection and 63 (allow) to survive”, Lin said. Meanwhile, other countries are likely to impose similar retaliatory tariff policies in response, which will result in a shrinking export market for US high-tech industries—the very sectors 64 the US holds comparative advantages—and thus 65 (weak) US technological leadership, Lin added. 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 66.假如你是李华，你的外国朋友Jeremy刚购买了一款中国智能产品（如小爱音箱、天猫精灵、智能冰箱、扫地机器人等），但因说明书是中文，他在使用上遇到了困难，故发邮件向你寻求帮助。请你用英语给他写一封邮件，内容包括： （1）对该产品表示肯定与理解； （2）介绍其主要功能并提出具体的使用建议和方法； （3）谈谈这款产品带来的益处并祝愿他使用愉快。 注意：（1）写作词数应为80左右；（2）请按如下格式在在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Dear Jeremy, Yours, Li Hua 第二节（满分25分） 67.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。 Spring had just kicked off when Nana stood in the backyard together with her three grandchildren. As Amy, Michael, and Justin were running around and playing, Nana spoke up, “I’m all set to start my garden. Is there anyone who wants to give me a hand?” “What kinds of plants are you going to grow, Nana?” Amy asked curiously. “I’m really fond of big, golden sunflowers.” “I’m planning to plant vegetables,” Nana clarified. “That way, we can savor them once they’re fully mature.” “How much time will it take before we can eat them?” Michael questioned-carrots were his favorite among all vegetables. “It’ll be a few months before anything is ready to be picked,” Nana answered. The kids’ eyes widened in surprise right away. “A few months? Why would you put so much work into this and wait for such a long time?” Amy frowned and wondered. “Isn’t it simpler to just buy them from the supermarket?” “Be patient, my dear kids!” Nana said gently. “Homemade food always tastes the most delicious—especially when you grow it yourself. Besides, if everyone pitches in, the work won’t be that tough.” “I’ll help you, Nana!” Justin offered willingly. He put down his soccer ball and looked closely at the gardening tools Nana had laid out. “What do we do first?” Michael and Amy also stepped forward to have a look. Nana showed Justin how to use a trowel to dig tidy rows of small holes for the seeds. Next, she taught Amy the right way to put seeds into each hole. Michael’s job was to cover the planted seeds with soil. In the end, Amy wrote the names of the vegetables on sticks to make labels, and Justin stuck those sticks into the ground afterward. “This way, we won’t forget which vegetable is planted where,” Nana said with a smile. Once they finished planting, the kids took turns filling the watering can, so Nana could water the soil well enough to help the seeds start sprouting. “Now all we need to do is water them on a regular basis,” Nana told the kids. “If we’re patient and the sun keeps shining, we’ll have delicious vegetables to eat this summer.” 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。 Every time the grandchildren arrived, they would head directly for the garden immediately. Eventually, Nana announced it was time to gather their first harvest. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
