(2025·成都七中月考)Learning a new language holds many benefits — it gains you respect, improves your self-confidence, and opens up new opportunities to make new friends from different cultures.Here are four language learning apps available that will be beneficial to your language learning.
Tell Me More
This app is widely used in US schools, and it is believed to be the best foreign language learning app around the world.It offers instructions for learning Arabic, Chinese, Dutch, English, French, German, Italian, Japanese and Spanish.However, the app does not come cheap as it costs around $250.
Talk Now!
If you are looking for a cheaper language learning app, then this is just the suitable choice for you.This app will cost you around $40, and even though it is not as useful as Tell Me More, it is still a very good app for the purpose.The disadvantages are that there is very little focus on grammar and there is a clear lack of interactive activities for users, so it does not result in fluency.
Instant Immersion
This app provides learning material for up to 33 different languages, and it is widely considered as the best app for learning Spanish as well.It will cost you around $30, and this is a very reasonable price for such a highly recommended and loved language learning app.The learning courses are highly interactive, and the ever present speech recognition feature ensures that you are getting the pronunciation right when you speak.
KidSpeak
This is a foreign language translation app 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 app is designed more for the use of children for its interesting videos.
1.What is the disadvantage of Tell Me More?( )
A.It lacks language learning methods.
B.It offers no interactive activities.
C.It provides no interesting videos for children.
D.It costs much more than the others.
2.Which of the apps best suits users with poor pronunciation?( )
A.Tell Me More. B.Instant Immersion.
C.Talk Now! D.KidSpeak.
3.What’s the purpose of this passage?( )
A.To tell us the importance of learning a foreign language.
B.To introduce some language learning apps to us.
C.To tell us the advantages and disadvantages of some apps.
D.To encourage us to use apps in learning foreign languages.

(2025·山东临沂期中)It’s often said that we human beings can dream in a foreign language.Could dreaming in a foreign language improve our memory? Does dreaming in a foreign language mean we are making progress in learning that language?
Before we look at multilingual (多语言的) dreams, first we need to look at sleep.The connection between sleep and language can be applied to how we learn any language, including our native language.Even adults still learn about one new word every two days in their first language.But, if we are going to remember that new word better, what matters is that we need to connect it with what we have learned.And in order to do that, we “need to have some sleep”, says Gareth Gaskell, a professor at the University of York.
It’s during sleep that the integration (整合) of old and new knowledge happens.At night, one part of our brain — the hippocampus — takes whatever new information it receives during the day and passes it on to other parts of the brain to be stored.The role that dreams play in this night-time learning process is still being studied, but “it’s entirely possible that during multilingual dreams, the brain is trying to connect the two languages”, says Marc, a researcher at a university in Bern, Switzerland.
So having multilingual dreams could mean that our brain is trying to remember a new word or phrase.However, it could also have an emotional (情感) significance.Danuta, a professor of psycholinguistics at the University of Silesia in Poland, suggests that multilingual dreams can express “fears or wishes” around learning a foreign language, including the wish to be a local speaker or to be accepted within a certain community.
We clearly still have a lot to learn about multilingual dreams, but one thing seems certain: if you’re trying to learn a new language, you can sleep on it.
4.Why does the author mention questions in paragraph 1?( )
A.To compare different ideas.
B.To introduce the main topic.
C.To present different types of dreams.
D.To discuss the human language ability.
5.What is the key element in memorizing a new word according to the text?( )
A.The other new words.
B.The native language.
C.The gained knowledge.
D.The speaking practice.
6.What can we learn about multilingual dreams?( )
A.They may influence people’s sleep quality.
B.They can reflect language-learning feelings.
C.They are the best option to learn a language.
D.They help to clear up the useless information.
7.Where is the text most likely from?( )
A.A novel. B.A diary.
C.A guidebook. D.A magazine.

(2025·山东莱芜一中学情调研)Little kids can pick up a new language pretty easily.It’s supposed to be far harder for older children.But that conclusion (结论) might not be correct.The window on when people can learn a language well appears to last until around age 17 or 18.
Earlier research had suggested we’re best at learning grammar in early childhood.Then we hit a dead end around age 5.But that’s not so, said Joshua Hartshorne and his colleagues.
Hartshorne surveyed tens of thousands of people online.He began by asking volunteers to take an online English grammar test.He used their answers to guess their native languages.After completing the test, volunteers answered questions about where they had lived, the languages they had spoken from birth and the age at which they first started learning English.It also asked how long they’d lived in an English-speaking country.
Hartshorne’s group analyzed (分析) responses from 669,498 native and non-native speakers of English.If people moved to a new country and began speaking English by age 10 to 12, they finally spoke it as well as those who had learned both English and another language from birth, the researchers found.
The results further showed that around age 17, people’s ability to learn grammar took a nosedive and that those who started learning English after age 10 or 12 never reached the same level of English proficiency (熟练) as people who started younger.Why? The researchers think it’s because they had fewer years to practice before their skills dropped off at 17.
However, they found language learning did not end at 17 and people’s English skills kept improving slightly until around age 30.This was true among both native speakers and those who learned English as a second language, the new study found.
8.How did Hartshorne do the survey?( )
A.He paid his friends to do it.
B.He surveyed thousands of students.
C.He interviewed passers-by.
D.He carried out the survey online.
9.Which of the following best explains “took a nosedive” underlined in paragraph 5?( )
A.Fell. B.Changed.
C.Counted. D.Rose.
10.What do the researchers say about language learning?( )
A.It requires few skills. B.It keeps people smarter.
C.It ends at the age of 17. D.It needs more practice.
11.What is the text mainly about?( )
A.A learning guide.
B.A study on language learning.
C.An English speaker.
D.A survey on grammar rules.
Ⅱ.阅读七选五
(2025·广东清远期末)Learning a new language is more than a skill.It’s also a way to improve your memory and your concentration.12.( ) If you’re a teenager preparing for a coming exam, it is a great time to learn a new language well.The following steps will tell you how to learn a new language.
Build your vocabulary.
Building vocabulary is important for learning a new language.13.( ) Knowing between 4,000 and 10,000 words in a language typically makes you an advanced speaker, but you likely can communicate in everyday situations after mastering at least 1,000 words.
14.( )
Since speaking and listening are important communication parts, you should practice these skills regularly as you learn your new language.Look for opportunities to listen to someone speak your target language so you can train your ear to hear the sounds of the words and the rhythm of the sentences.Copy what you hear to strengthen the sounds.You can practice through conversations with others.
Accept mistakes and learn from them.
Mistakes are learning opportunities, which are a normal part of the process when learning a language.You may choose the wrong word or use the present tense form of a verb when talking about what happened last week.15.( )
Set aside time to practice.
16.( ) According to the US Department of State’s Foreign Service Institute, a native English speaker typically needs between 600 and 750 class hours to learn languages.To establish language learning habits, find ways to make practice easy.
A.Practice speaking and listening.
