Dr. Paul Pimsleur’s Method This method developed by Dr. Paul Pimsleur involves the regular repetition of already learned material while learning new material. Another advantage of this method is its availability at any time and in any place — you can listen to the audio course on your smartphone, in the car, or at home while cooking dinner. ESL “English as a Second Language” is a speaking-based method to learn English. The difference between ESL and more other well-known methods is that you can learn about the culture and social norms of English-speaking countries — especially American English since most of the ESL-based programs teach the American version of English. The Rosetta Stone technique The Rosetta Stone technique is also recognized as one of the easiest programs to learn English from zero. It allows you to follow the same path as when learning your native language from infancy (婴儿期) — without relying on grammar rules. You can master your English by immersing (沉浸在) yourself in the language and forming associations between words and real-life context. YouTube-based learning Learning English by watching YouTube videos is one of the most affordable ways to learn English that requires minimal effort. Besides, YouTube channels specializing in learning English frequently also provide useful links to get more information on a particular subject. And you can learn English on YouTube by simply watching your favorite YouTubers — just turn on English subtitles in the settings. 1．What is one characteristic of Dr. Paul Pimsleur’s Method? A．Focusing on the regular recitation. B．Immersing learners in the language. C．Making speaking a basic practice. D．Being available anytime and anywhere. 2．Which method is the most suitable for a complete beginner? A．YouTube-based learning. B．Dr. Paul Pimsleur’s Method. C．The Rosetta Stone technique D．English as a Second Language. 3．What can you enjoy using YouTube to learn English? A．Limitless links. B．Low-cost experiences. C．Countless subjects. D．Native-like learning ways. 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．B 【导语】本文是一篇应用文，主要介绍了四种流行的英语学习方法，包括其特点和优势，为学习者提供了多样化的选择。 1．细节理解题。根据Dr. Paul Pimsleur’s Method部分中的“Another advantage of this method is its availability at any time and in any place — you can listen to the audio course on your smartphone, in the car, or at home while cooking dinner.(这种方法的另一个优点是可以随时随地使用——你可以在智能手机上、车里或在家做饭时听音频课程)”可知，保罗·皮姆斯勒博士学习法的一个特点是随时随地都能使用。故选D项。 2．细节理解题。根据The Rosetta Stone technique部分中的“The Rosetta Stone technique is also recognized as one of the easiest programs to learn English from zero.(罗塞塔石碑学习法也被认为是从零开始学习英语的最简单的方法之一)”可知，罗塞塔石碑学习法最适合完全的初学者。故选C项。 3．细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Learning English by watching YouTube videos is one of the most affordable ways to learn English that requires minimal effort.(通过观看YouTube视频学习英语是最经济实惠且省力的方法之一)”可知，使用YouTube学习英语可以享受低成本的学习体验。故选B项。 Passage 2 (24-25高二下·河南省平顶山市部分学校·期末) Cambridge University Library Borrowing RulesAccess & Eligibility: Students and staff can access the University Library, faculty (教工) libraries, and their own college library using their blue university card.

Dr. Megan Coffee, an American expert in infectious diseases, set off to Haiti  to help. She knew that diseases like tuberculosis (TB) would spread quickly in a place where people were having to live without clean water or adequate shelter. Coffee didn’t have a hospital, so she set up a tent where people could come for treatment. Six years later, she’s sti1l in Haiti. She gave up her job, which was at a top university back in the United States, and she now does not receive a salary. Since she arrived, however, she has saved thousands of lives. Hilary Lister In 2005, Hilary Lister made history by sailing solo across the English Channel. Many people had done this before, but none were quadriplegic, which means not being able to use any part of your body from the neck down. Hilary was not born quadriplegic, but gradually lost the use of her body due to a disease. At first Hilary felt that she had lost everything, but when she first tried sailing, she felt that “it turned light back on inside me”. She controls the boat through a computer operated by her mouth. Mary Anning Mary Anning was born in 1799, the daughter of a poor carpenter. Yet, she became one of the most important female scientists in history. Mary and her father, Richard, used to collect fossis to sell to tourists. A fossil is an animal or plant which turned to rock thousands of years ago, but, at that time, people did not really know what fossils were. In 1812 Mary found the skeleton of a huge dinosaur, an ichthyosaur, which changed what people believed about the beginning of the world. Mary made many other important discoveries, but her work was not taken very seriously because she was an uneducated woman. 1．What can we infer about Dr. Coffee from the text? A．She built a hospital in Haiti all by herself. B．She still gets a salary from her old university. C．She went to Haiti just for the purpose of doing research. D．Her work in Haiti had a positive impact on many people. 2．What made Hilary Lister’s solo sailing unique? A．She sailed while battling a disease. B．She sailed without using her arms or legs. C．She sailed via voice commands and AI technology. D．She was the first to sail across the English Channel. 3．Why was Mary Anning’s work not taken seriously before? A．There existed gender discrimination. B．She was born into an uneducated family. C．People didn’t consider fossils worth studying. D．Her discoveries went against beliefs at that time. 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是三位杰出女性的故事。 1．细节理解题。根据Megan Coffee部分“Since she arrived, however, she has saved thousands of lives.(然而，自从她来到这里，她已经拯救了成千上万的生命。)”可知，从文章中我们可以推断出Dr. Coffee在海地的工作对许多人产生了积极的影响。故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据Hilary Lister部分“Many people had done this before, but none were quadriplegic, which means not being able to use any part of your body from the neck down. Hilary was not born quadriplegic, but gradually lost the use of her body due to a disease.(以前有很多人这样做过，但没有人是四肢瘫痪的，四肢瘫痪意味着脖子以下的身体任何部位都无法使用。希拉里并非天生四肢瘫痪，但由于疾病，她的身体逐渐失去了功能。)”可知，让Hilary Lister的单人航海与众不同的是她不用胳膊和腿就能航行，故选B。 3．细节理解题。根据Mary Anning部分“Mary made many other important discoveries, but her work was not taken very seriously because she was an uneducated woman.(玛丽还有许多其他重要的发现，但她的工作没有受到重视，因为她是一个没有受过教育的女人。)”可知，Mary Anning的作品以前没有受到重视是因为存在性别歧视。故选A。 Passage 4 (24-25高二下·河南方城县第一高级中学·期末) New Scientist is the world's most popular weekly science and technology publication.

Dr. Paul Pimsleur’s Method This method developed by Dr. Paul Pimsleur involves the regular repetition of already learned material while learning new material. Another advantage of this method is its availability at any time and in any place — you can listen to the audio course on your smartphone, in the car, or at home while cooking dinner. ESL “English as a Second Language” is a speaking-based method to learn English. The difference between ESL and more other well-known methods is that you can learn about the culture and social norms of English-speaking countries — especially American English since most of the ESL-based programs teach the American version of English. The Rosetta Stone technique The Rosetta Stone technique is also recognized as one of the easiest programs to learn English from zero. It allows you to follow the same path as when learning your native language from infancy (婴儿期) — without relying on grammar rules. You can master your English by immersing (沉浸在) yourself in the language and forming associations between words and real-life context. YouTube-based learning Learning English by watching YouTube videos is one of the most affordable ways to learn English that requires minimal effort. Besides, YouTube channels specializing in learning English frequently also provide useful links to get more information on a particular subject. And you can learn English on YouTube by simply watching your favorite YouTubers — just turn on English subtitles in the settings. 1．What is one characteristic of Dr. Paul Pimsleur’s Method? A．Focusing on the regular recitation. B．Immersing learners in the language. C．Making speaking a basic practice. D．Being available anytime and anywhere. 2．Which method is the most suitable for a complete beginner? A．YouTube-based learning. B．Dr. Paul Pimsleur’s Method. C．The Rosetta Stone technique D．English as a Second Language. 3．What can you enjoy using YouTube to learn English? A．Limitless links. B．Low-cost experiences. C．Countless subjects.
