Best language learning apps
Duolingo
The app doesn't restrict how many languages you can try to learn at the same time. I use Duolingo to practice Spanish and German. In the app, you can access resources such as Duolingo Stories, which can allow you to check your comprehension skills as you go. I also subscribe to Premium for $10 per month which includes an ad-free experience and downloadable lessons.
Memrise
One of my favorite parts of Memrise is its short videos about how real locals express different phrases in conversation. A few lessons are available for free daily, but the full program is accessible if you subscribe to Memrise Pro. There are three plans—one month for $9, a year for $30 or three months for $19.
Busuu
When you sign up for Busuu, you select the language you want to learn, and the app helps you determine how advanced you are with it and why you want to learn it, and to what level. From there, you set a daily study goal. Premium costs about $6 per month for a year.
Lirica
If you listen to any song enough, you'll learn all the words through repetition, even if they're in a different language. But how do you figure out what they mean? This is where Lirica comes in. This app is unique in how it approaches teaching Spanish. Instead of traditional teaching methods for learning a language, Lirica uses popular music by Latin artists to help you learn the Spanish language and grammar. Lirica has a one-week free trial and then it's about $4 per month.
1. Which app is best for learning multiple languages at a time?
A. Lirica.
B. Busuu.
C. Memrise.
D. Duolingo.
2. How much should you pay for a quarterly subscription to Memrise Pro?
A. $9.
B. $19.
C. $28.
D. $30.
3. What is special about Lirica?
A. It offers a one-month free trial.
B. It helps users set a daily study goal.

Michele Gentile, an Italian bookseller, is offering free books to children in exchange for plastic bottles to recycle.
Michele owns Ex Libris Cafe in Polla，a small town in southern Italy. He said he thought of the recycling program, because he wanted to inspire children in the small town to read and pay attention to the environment.
''My goal is to spread the passion and love for books among those people in Italy who do not usually read while at the time helping the environment," Gentile explained.
The idea for the initiative (倡议) came after Gentile collaborated with a nearby middle school on an aluminum recycling project. Working together, the schoolchildren and Gentile collected enough cans to purchase books for an entire classroom. His new program too off from there and has already spread into northern Italy: Gentile's hopes his work will continue to make headlines and become a worldwide initiative.
The free books come from customers in Gentile's shop who have donated money to purchase a ''suspended" book. The idea comes from a World War II practice in which customers would buy two Coffees: one for themselves and another for the next person in line. Gentile has been using the extra books as part of his recycling initiative, While Gentile's program is a great way to recycle and get kids to read, it also brings awareness to the growing problem of plastic waste. Single-use plastics make up around 26 percent of all the plastics in the world, only 14 percent of which are recycled. Plastics that end up in landfills take around 500 years to decompose (分解),is a major concern for environmentalists.
Cutting down on plastic waste is important if we want to better the environment for future generations, and recycling programs like Gentile's book giveaway are a great way to meet that goal.
4. What is the purpose of Gentile's book giveaway?
A. To sell more coffee and books.
B. To attract more customers.
C. To collect money for a new project.
D. To inspire reading and recycling.
5. How did Gentile come up with the idea?
A. Working with a school to recycle cans.
B. Seeing school kids don't like reading.
C. Donating books for a local school.
D. Buying a “suspended” book for a child.
6. Who pay for the books of the project?
A. The local government.
B. Gentile himself.
C. Some publishers.
D. His customers.
7. Whichof the following is the best title for the text?
A. An Italian's Reading Initiative
B. Recycling Can Get Kids Free Books
C. Michele's Way of Doing Business
D. A New Way to Deal with Plastic Waste
C
Honeybees can’t swim, and when their wings are wet, they can’t fly, either. But Chris Roh and other researchers at the California Institute of Technology found that when bees drop into bodies of water, they can use their wings toproduce little waves and slide toward land-like surfers who create and then ride their own waves.
As with many scientific advances-IsaacNewton’s apple or Benjamin Franklin’s lightning bolt-Dr. Roh’s experiment began with a walk. Passing Caltech’s Millikan Pond in 2016, he observed a bee on the water’s surface producing waves. He wondered how an insect known for flight could push itself through water.
Dr. Roh and his co-worker, Morteza Gharib, used butterfly nets to collect localPasadenahoneybees and observed their surf-like movements. The researchers used a wire to restrict each bee’s bodily movement, allowing close examination of their wings. They found that the bee bends its wings at a 30-degree angle, pulling up water and producing a forward force. Bees get trapped on the surface because water is roughly three times heavier than air. But that weight helps to push the bee forward when its wings move quickly up and down. It’s a tough exercise for the bees, which the researchers guess could handle about 10 minutes of the activity.
The researchers said the surf-like movement hasn’t been documented in other insects and most semiaquatic insects use their legs forpropulsion, which is known as water-walking. It may have evolved in bees, they-predicted.
Dr. Roh and Dr. Gharib have imagined many practical applications for bees’ surfing. One plan is to use their observations to design robots able to travel across sky and sea. “This could be useful for search and rescues, or for getting samples of the surface of the ocean, if you can’t send a boat or helicopter,” Dr. Gharib said.
8. What does the author intend to show by mentioningNewtonandFranklin?
A. Roh’s admiration for them.
B. Roh’s chance discovery about bees.
C. Their outstanding talent for science.
D. Their similar achievements in discovery.
9. What plays the most vital role in a bee’s moving forward on water?
A. The air weight.
B. Its leg extension.
C. The water movement.
D. Its continuous wingbeat.
10. What does the underlined word “propulsion” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A. Fast flight
B. Driving force.
C. Pulling speed.
D. Explosive power.
11. What does the text mainly tell us?
A. Honeybees can surf to safety.
B. Bees help scientists make inventions.
C. Insects can adapt to the environment.
D. Nature is a helpful guide for discovery.

Even plant can run a fever，especially when they're under attack by insects or disease．But unlike human，plants can have their temperature taken from 3，000 feet away straight up．A decade ago，adopting the infrared （红外线）scanning technology developed for military purposes and other satellites，physicist Stephen Paley came up with a quick wayto take the temperature of crops to determine which ones are under stress．The goal was to let farmers precisely（精确的）target pesticide（杀虫剂）spraying rather than rain poison on a whole field，which always includes plants that don't have pest problems．
Evenbetter，Paley's Remote Scanning Services Company could detect crop problems before they became visible to the eye．Fixed on a plane flown at 3，000 feet at night，an infrared scanner measured the heat sent out by crops．The data were transformed into a color﹣coded map showing where plants were running "fevers"．Farmers could then spot﹣spray，using 50 to 70 percent less pesticide that they otherwise would．The bad news is that Paley's company closed down in 1984，after only three years．Farmers resisted thenew technology and long﹣term supporters were hard to find．But with the renewed concern about pesticides on produce and refinements（改进）in infrared scanning，Paley hopes to get back into operation．Agriculture experts have no doubt that the technology works．"This technique can be used on 75 percent of agricultural land in the United States，" says George Oerther of Texas A& M，who recently retired from the Department of Agriculture，thinks remote infrared crop scanning could be adopted by the end of the decade．But only if Paley finds the financial support which he failed to obtain 10years ago．
12. Plants will give out an increased amount of heat when they are ．
A. facing an infrared scanner
B. sprayed with pesticides
C. exposed to extreme sun rays
D. inpoor physical condition
13. In order to apply pesticide spraying precisely，we can use infrared scanning to ．
A draw a color1﹣coded map
B evaluate the damage to the crops
C. locate the problem area
D. measure the size of the affected area
14. The application of infrared scanning technology to agriculture met with some difficulties of ．
A. the lack of official support
B. its high cost
C. the lack of financial support
D. its failure to help increase production
15. Infrared scanning technology may be brought back into operation because of ．
A. full support from agricultural experts
B. the forceful promotion by the Department of Agriculture
C. the desire of farmers to improve the quality of their produce
D. growing concern about the over use of pesticides on crops

52.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。

Jackson, now a successful architect in New York City, comes back to his father’s small wooden house that is on the island in the middle of the lake. Jackson is fond of fishing. And he often takes his son and daughters fishing in the same place, where he used to fish when he was a child. His children are addicted to the fishing joy, which reminds him of the day 34 years ago.
34 years ago, Jackson was 11 years old and lived with his family on an island in the middle of a lake in New Hampshire. On the day before the bass season opened, Jackson and his father were fishing early in the evening, catching sunfish. When his fishing rod doubled over, he knew something huge was on the other end.
He very carefully lifted the fish from the water. It was the largest one he had ever seen, but it was a bass.
The boy and his father looked at the handsome fish, its gills playing back and forth in the moonlight. The father lit a match and looked at his watch. It was 10 pm — two hours before the season opened. He looked at the huge fish, then at the boy.
"You'll have to put the fish back, son," he said.
"Dad!" cried the boy.
“There will be other fish," said his father.
“Not as big as this one,” the boy cried and shouted.
He looked around the lake. No other fishermen or boats were anywhere around in the moonlight. He looked again at his father. Even though no one had seen them, nor could anyone ever know what time he caught the fish, the boy could tell from his father's voice clearly that the decision couldn't be changed.
The father patted him slightly on his shoulder and sincerely taught him,” My boy, rules are simple matters of right and wrong. It is the practice of rules that is difficult, but it's your choice.”
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
Jackson found himself in a difficult situation.
