Thorne, an English teacher at Columbia University in New York City, has seen the biggest improvement in his students since they used four Apps, Quizlet, QR Codes, Evernote and WAGmob.
Quizlet
Quizlet is a learning app you use on your mobile device. Quizlet has word sets for millions of subjects. The app uses flashcards, spelling quizzes and other methods to build and test learners’ vocabulary skills. And learners can use Quizlet on their own.
Since his students began using Quizlet, Thorne has noticed students engaged with the form and the meaning and even the use of the vocabulary.
QR Codes
A QR Code is a kind of sign that a smartphone can read with its camera. When the phone recognizes the information, it takes the user to a website, image, video, or anything else you want to share. Thorne says QR Codes can help bring real-world materials into the classroom. For example, color printing can be costly, but QR Codes enable students to see color images or infographics, he notes.
Evernote
Evernote lets users store and share notes, images and recordings in one place. Teachers can also use Evernote to give homework. Thorne often asks his students to record their reaction to something from class. Then, he listens to their recordings and adds his response. “One of the first things instructions need to do is to find ways to get students to notice the errors or the particular language challengers they have,” he says.
WAGmob
WAGmob is an on-the-go app for learning, which is simple and easy. The app provides snack sized chapters for easy learning and bite sized flashcards to memorize key concepts. It also provides simple and easy quizzes for self-assessment. It is accessible for users to get a quick summary of essential concepts. It has over three million paying customers from more than 175 countries. Thorne says WAGmob is intended for students and teachers.
21. Which App can help students enrich vocabulary?
A. Evernote.
B. Quizlet.
C. QR Codes.
D. W AGmob.
22. Which two Apps use both flashcards and quizzes?
A. Quizlet & WAGmob.
B. Evernote & QR Codes.
C. Evernote & Quizlet.
D. QR Codes & W AGmob.
23. What is special about QR Codes?
A. It’s a kind of smartphone.
B. It offers teachers a choice to give homework.
C. It helps users reach any material you want to share.
D. It is a tool to share notes, images and recordings in one place.

The year was 1964. I was about 16 and lived in a small town in the southernmost tip of India. While my father and my elder brother were in Mumbai to earn a living, I was at home, in our small rented accommodation, looking after my mother, who had been in bed for 15 years.
One day Mother’s condition turned serious and she needed immediate medical help. There was a government hospital about an hour away. Mother was so sick that there was no option but to hire a taxi.
On reaching the hospital, when I was about to pay the taxi driver, he refused to accept any money. “Keep it. You may need it to buy food,” he said. “Now go on with your mother. I will be at the gate in case you need me.” I did not, though. The doctors recommended Mother doing some tests and keeping her under observation.
Later, when the taxi driver drove me back home, I found our front door locked, with all our belongings out in the courtyard. Our landlady came out and announced that we could no longer live in her house. She was worried that if my mother died, nobody would rent her place gain. On top of all our troubles, we were homeless now.
The taxi driver helped me at every step of the way. He took Mother to another hospital. He drove us to Christ Nagar to pick up our belongings. He helped us find a shelter. He ferried us several times without charging a dime （十分硬币）, waiting patiently in front of hospitals. He helped at a time when he could have earned money for himself and his family. The unbelievable kindness of this extraordinary man changed my life forever. I still remember him vividly today. To me, he was an angel in a black and yellow taxi.
24. According to the text, the author ________.
A. paid the driver a dime
B. owed the driver a big favor
C. couldn’t afford any food
D. lived in Mumbai with his family

C. The driver packed up the author’s belongings.
D. The driver suffered some loss of income.

People ride Mobike’s shared bikes in Hefei, Anhui province. The new trend of bike sharing is a great thing. Bicycling is a very healthy way to get exercise. I often see sports bicyclists in China wearing a helmet, but I don’t think I have ever seen a bicyclist on a shared bicycle wearing one.
Despite the health benefits of cycling, many in China may die or spend the rest of their lives in bed if they do not wear helmets. One of the saddest memories I have from Qingdao is when Ocean University took foreign teachers to visit a hospital for children with brain injuries. Famed brain surgeon Ben Carson is well-known foe being mild-tempered. However, when he sees a cyclist without a helmet, he is known to become wild with anger, remembering all the cyclists without helmets whose brains he has needs to fix. “The cost on the operation vastly outweighs the cost of a 20-dollar bicycle helmet,” said Ben Carson.
Many countries require car passengers to wear seatbelts for just such reasons. In the USA, some areas also have laws requiring bicycle helmets be worn by cyclists. Maybe this could be legally required. A law such as this would surely save money, since the cost of looking after one brain-damaged patient cost more.
It seems to me that the simplest way to make bike sharing safer is to rent the helmets with the bicycle. As an electrical engineer, it is easy for me to picture bicycles rental together with helmets using some type of lock, so that if the helmet is not removed from the bicycle, the rider pays more. If the helmet is not returned to the bicycle, the renter has purchased the helmet.
28. Why is Ben Carson angry with the cyclists without helmets?
A. Because he is bad-tempered.
B. Because he is a helmet designer.
C. Because he hates his job as a surgeon.
D. Because he cares about the cyclists’ safety.
29. Which of the following is true?
A. Most cyclists all over the world wear helmets.
B. Seldom do cyclists die from not wearing helmets in China.
C. In China laws have been issued to require helmets for bike sharing.
D. To use a helmet is a lot more cost-effective than to spend money on an operation.
30. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. It is easy for a cyclist to use the lock.
B. Wearing helmets means no injuries.
C. Renting helmets with bicycles might be a way to ensure safer cycling.
D. A cyclist has to buy the helmet as long as it is removed from the bicycle.
31. What is the best title for the text?
A. Mobike—One of China’s Top Bike
B. Time to End Cycling without Helmets.
C. Bike Sharing—A New Way of Life
D. Solving Problems of Shared Bikes
D
Nowadays, auto-flush motion sensor toilets（自动感应冲水马桶）are in schools, airports, hotels, and tourists spots around the world. But do you know who invented this modern convenience? The answer may surprise you. It was Teng Hung-Chi of Nantou, Taiwan, who was only 19 when he created the original sensor urinal!
Teng’s inspiration came in 1983 during an exhausting day of work as a mechanic. While using the restroom, Teng didn’t want to dirty the urinal by pressing the flush button with his dirty hands. He began thinking about how to combine an infrared（红外线的）sensor with a water valve（阀）. Two months later, his invention was completed, and Teng sold the patent for a lot of money! Since then, Teng’s creative inventions have earned him the title “Taiwan’s Edison”.
When people discover that an appliance is broken, they often stop using it. Not Teng, though. Since childhood, he has enjoyed learning about such appliances by taking them apart. His curiosity and persistence have helped him create many quality inventions. Teng’s interest in inventing has helped him win many prized at the annual World Invention Contest. But behind these awards lies days and nights of continuous hard work.
For example, in 1999, Teng’s Remote Control Pager Device” made him the first Asian winner of the Genius Prize at the Nuremberg World Invention Exhibition. This invention can control every single appliance in a building from far away! In addition to his lifelong interest in inventing things himself, Teng is also devoted to educating others about invention. He encourages people to pursue fantastic concepts and make them reality, instead of being limited by conventional thinking. “I every school brought up just one outstanding inventor, our country would definitely benefit from outstanding inventions!” Teng says.
32. According to Paragraph 2, what is Teng’s inspiration based on?

Three Questions to Help Y ou Overcome Procrastination（拖延症）Procrastination is like a voice in your head giving you several seemingly valid reasons to avoid doing something. 36 . Asking the right questions can help give you practical solutions when you feel stuck. Here are three questions which might help.
What one thing can I do to get started?
Getting started is the hardest part. But once you actually begin working on a task, it doesn’t feel as bad or complicated as you imagined it would. By asking yourself what you can do to take that first meaningful step, you can begin breaking up the project into smaller sub-tasks, 37 . Once you begin focusing just on that, you’ll likely have more motivation to keep going.
38 ?
We procrastinate not just because we want to avoid doing something unpleasant but because we’re overwhelmed by so much other work. So each morning, get your priorities straight. Ask yourself which three tasks you need to nail today. Block out the first few hours of your day to focusing on those. Only when they’re done should you move on to your other work.
How can I make this easier?
39 . But there’s no shame in making something difficult easier for yourself to complete. For instance,
you might not have time to workout for an hour every day. So rather than skipping the gym completely, start by exercising for just 10 minutes each day. The easiest way to build a new habit is to start really small. Once you become consistent, you’ll find it far easier to increase the duration.
The truth is, all successful people have a tendency to procrastinate. The key is what steps you take to start getting things done. 40 .
A. Usually it’s tough to overcome
B. then pick the simplest one to start on
C. What will go wrong if I don’t do this now
D. What are my three biggest priorities today
E. Succeeding at something demands hard work
F. And sometimes that’s all about asking the right questions
G. you’ll feel a lot more in control once you get a lot of it done
