I’m a strong believer that learning different languages makes you look incredibly good when you’re in a foreign country and can understand and speak the language. The list below is four apps that will help you learn a foreign language！ You can download them for free.

Babbel—Learn Languages

Babbel is an excellent language tool to help you progress step by step with learning a new language. It helps you learn grammar along the way as you work your way through the tasks and assignments. You need to pay a monthly subscription （用户费）， but this will still be cheaper than taking physical lessons with a tutor！

Duolingo： Learn Languages Free

The app has many languages to choose from and will work through the basics all the way to advanced words and sentences. It’s all completely free too！ It’s incredibly well designed， looks great and will help you learn， remember and progress with just a little bit of time every day.

Tandem： Language Exchange

Rather than have you work through tasks and memorize different things， the app lets you match with people who share your interests but speak the language you want to learn. You can then have text， voice and video conversations with people who want to learn your native language， and in return you learn theirs， all by simply communicating with each other. It’s a great way to learn with only $1 a day.

Busuu—Learn English

This app is perfect if you want to learn English. There are all sorts of audio and visual learning aids， some of which are free. You’ll find yourself working through interactive （互动的） tests and learning tools for vocabulary and dialogue.

21. How is Duolingo different from the other three apps？

A. It’s free. B. It’s for English learning.

C. It’s for beginners. D. It’s easy to use.

22. Which app suits best if you want to learn through communication？

A. Babbel. B. Duolingo. C. Tandem. D. Busuu.

23. What do the apps have in common？

A. They have many tests. B. They focus on grammar.

C. They cover many languages. D. They are free to download.

Finally came Wednesday！ I walked onto campus feeling nervous even though I had walked these same grounds for two years because my junior high school is next door. Everything looked and felt different now that I was in senior high.

I looked at my schedule. First period—German. Our German teacher was very friendly and I liked her from the beginning. What I didn’t like， though， was that I was surrounded by students from other grades， with only five familiar faces.

Then I had to walk all the way across campus and up three flights of stairs to get to my second period—biology. Our teacher’s name is Ms Compeau， and I think that she will teach us a lot this year because she is very to the point. She also has her unique way of saying “be quiet”; she says “alligator”. She explained that she is the king， or should I say queen， of the class because alligators are the “king of the swamps （沼泽）”.

My third class was English. After surviving two periods without too much of a challenge， I began to feel good. However， the third period changed everything. Mr White， my English teacher， told us that we would have to write 40 essays （文章） and read AP-level books such as The Odyssey this year. I love reading and writing， but 40 essays？ AP-level books？ Now I was scared. He also talked about how important it was to be focused. Last year was not a very “focused” year for me. While doing homework， I was often talking on the phone， or busy with a conversation on Facebook. I planned on stepping it up this year because I wanted to stay an honor student.

24. What should students do when Ms Compeau says “alligator”？

A. Sit still. B. Stop talking. C. Listen to her. D. Look at the blackboard.

25. How did the author find her first two classes？

A. Unattractive. B. Informative. C. Very tiring. D. Pretty easy.

26. What can we infer about the author during the third period？

A. She couldn’t focus on it. B. She found it challenging.

C. She didn’t like the teacher. D. She did poorly at the class.

27. What can be the best title for the text？

A. My New Teachers B. My Plan for the New Year

C. My First Day of Senior High D. My Schedule for Classes

C

Art and science may seem like opposite things. In fact， the two have much in common. Now， a study finds art can help students remember better what they learned in science class.

Mariale Hardiman， an education specialist at Johns Hopkins University， noticed that students who used art in the classroom listened more carefully. They seemed to remember more of what they had been taught when their science lessons had involved art. To prove that， Hardiman teamed up with some researchers and six local schools.

In the experiment （实验）， the researchers worked with teachers in 16 fifth-grade classrooms. They provided traditional science lessons and art-focused ones. In a traditional science class， for example， students might read aloud from a book. In the art-focused one， they might sing the information instead.

The team randomly assigned （随机分配） each of the 350 students to either a traditional science classroom or an art-focused one. Students then learned science using that way for the whole unit about three weeks. When they changed to a new topic， they also changed to the other type of class. This way， each student had both art-focused classes and traditional ones. Every unit was taught in both ways to different groups of students. This enabled the researchers to see how students did in both types of classes.

The team found that students who started off in traditional classes performed better after they moved into an art-focused class. But those who started in an art-focused class did well even when they went back to a traditional science class. These students appeared to use some of the art techniques after going back to a traditional class. Classroom teachers reported that many students continued to sing the songs that they learned after finishing the unit. “The more we hear something， the more we retain it，” Hardiman says. “It suggests that art may help students apply creative ways of learning on their own.”

28. Why did Mariale Hardiman do the study？

A. To prove the importance of art at school. B. To see if art might improve science learning.

C. To find a way to help students learn better. D. To encourage students to ask questions.

29. What were the students required to do in the experiment？

A. Learn three units in total. B. Take two types of classes.

C. Learn two topics for three weeks. D. Choose what they’d like to learn.

30. What does the underlined word “retain” in the last paragraph mean？

A. Finish. B. Express. C. Improve. D. Memorize.

31. What does the text mainly tell us？

A. Art helps students develop creativity. B. Art-focused classes interest students a lot.

C. Art can make science easier to remember. D. Art has something in common with science.

D

Popular culture has a strong influence on language. The expressions that come from movies and TV shows can be especially powerful. If someone says a line from one of your favorite movies， it is kind of like you both belong to the same club. Such popular culture expressions bring people the feeling that they share some common points with others and therefore， they become widely used among people.

Here， we take a water-based phrase for example. If I say to you “Just keep swimming”， I am quoting a fish—a really famous fish.

In the movie Finding Nemo， Dory is a friendly and helpful fish. She becomes friends with Marlin， a clownfish （小丑鱼） who has just lost his only son， Nemo. Dory offers to help Marlin find Nemo. The search is very difficult. Every time Marlin feels hopeless and wants to stop searching， Dory says to him， “Just keep swimming. Just keep swimming.” With these words， Dory is encouraging her friend to keep looking for his son.

The phrase may come from a children’s film， but its meaning is not childish （幼稚的）. At some point， we all face a difficult situation. We may feel sad or frightened and want to give up. But then a friend says， “Just keep swimming，” and it gives us the hope we need to reach our goal—to finish strong. Even if someone has not seen the film， they most probably will know what you mean when you say it.

But would I say “Just keep swimming” in a very serious situation or to a very serious co-worker whom I don’t know well？ Probably not. We do have other words of encouragement. You can say “Hang in there！” “You can do it！” or “Don’t give up！”

32. Why are popular culture expressions widely used among people？

A. They are easy to remember.

B. They bring people a feeling of closeness.

C. They help people keep up with the latest fashion.

D. They can make communication more interesting.

33. You can say “Just keep swimming” to a friend when he .

A. plans to take a trip B. wins first prize in a competition

C. wants to give up dancing D. is upset about your poor grades

34. What does the author say about popular culture expressions in Paragraph 4？

A. They have deep meanings. B. They are very encouraging.

C. They come from famous films. D. They can be easily understood.

35. What does the author advise us to do in the last paragraph？

A. Use proper expressions in different situations. B. Avoid culture expressions in work.

C. Encourage people to face difficulties. D. Express ourselves in different words.
