Pretty unbelievable, right? But how could it be? To find out, we spoke to David－one of our brave Babbel learners－to see how the Babbel app successfully got him speaking Norwegian(挪威语) in just one week.How much time did you learn each day?I didn’t need to give my whole life over to learning Norwegian. Each Babbel lesson takes only 15 minutes, and I set myself the achievable aim of finishing three Babbel lessons daily. This took 45 minutes each day.How did the Babbel app help you learn so quickly?The Babbel app has a course plan for beginners that taught me how to make sentences in Norwegian within the first few days. Then I was able to personalize my learning by choosing single-topic lessons on eating, drinking, music, culture, travelling and so on. This allowed me to quickly enlarge(扩大) my vocabulary!This way of learning kept me highly active, and made sure I wasn’t bored to tears(眼泪) with grammar practice that we all remember from school!“After 7 days I was able to introduce myself in Norwegian, talk about my hobbies and interests,and most importantly, chatting with a native(本国的) Norwegian speaker in a real conversation,I could even pl ay a joke or two!”Would you introduce this app to others?Certainly! Babbel has 14 languages to choose from, so if you’re thinking about brushingup on your German for a business trip, or learning a bit of Portuguese(葡萄牙语) for next year’ssummer vacation, you’ll be happy to hear that you only need an app, 7 days of learning to getyou conversational.31. The Babbel app is used for people to _______.A. speak with nativesB. learn foreign languagesC. do international businessD. plan a vacation abroad32. How did the Babbel app help David learn quickly?A. It took him little time every day.B. It provided him with 14 languages.C. It gave him daily grammar practice.D. It offered lessons according to his needs.33. The example of David is used in the passage to show that _______.A. hard work matters a lotB. Babbel app sells wellC. Norwegian is easy to learnD. Babbel app really helpsBImagine this situation: You go out to your Array backyard, and you see a bear smelling your rubbish bin.Or you go into your garage(车库) to get your bike andfind a bear there. What would you do? People in someparts of Florida think about these situations a lot.They have been running into black bears more and moreoften. This is frightening and dangerous for bothbears and people.The number of cases of people and bears running into each other has gone up. In 1978,just one case was reported. In 2002, 1,340 cases were reported. These cases are called“conflicts”. Studies show that the number of conflicts in Florida is going up.Some people think that human-bear conflicts are going up in Florida because there aremore bears. Actually, it’s just the opposite. The number of bears is going down. In the early1900s, there were about 12,000 black bears in Florida. Today, no one is really sure how many black bears are left. People think the number is from 1,500 to 3,000. So why are human-bear conflicts increasing so rapidly? There aren’t more bears, but there are more people.There are many people who want to protect the Florida black bear. Here are some of the things that people in Florida are doing:•Teaching school children about the Florida black bear with a special program that includesa slide-show, games, and activities.•Choosing carefully where roads are built or widened so that wild animals will not be harmed by the traffic.•Holding a yearly festival for families with arts, food, and information on the bear.34. What does the underlined word “conflicts” in the second paragraph mean?A. Bears living in Florida in 2002.B. Studies of black bears in Florida.C. Fights between people and black bears.D. Cases of people and bears running into each other.35. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. Black bears live in thick woods.B. People feel afraid when they run into a bear.C. There are about 3,000 black bears left in Florida now.D. The reason why human-bear conflicts are going up is that there’re more people.36. To protect black bears, people in Florida are .A. trying to learn more about black bearsB. teaching students how to take good care of bearsC. building and widening new roads for black bearsD. giving back black bears more food and living spaceCScientists today are making greater effort to study ocean currents (洋流) . Most do it using satellites and other high-technology equipment. However, ocean expert Curtis Ebbesmeyer does it in a special way---by studying movements of floating waste. A scientist with many years’ experience, he started this type of research in the early 1990s when he heard about hundreds of sports shoes washing up on the shores of the northwest coast of the United States.Ebbesmeyer found out in his researches that the shoes---about 60,000 in total---fell into the ocean in a shipping accident. He phoned the shoe company and asked if they wanted the shoes back. As expected, the company told him that they didn’t. Ebbesmeyer realized this could bea great experiment. If he learned when and where the shoes went into the water and followed until discovering where they landed, he could learn a lot about the ocean currents.The Pacific Northwest is one of the world’s best areas for beachcombing(海滩搜寻) because winds and currents join here, and as a result, there is a group of serious beachcombers in the area. Ebbesmeyer got to know a lot of them and asked for their help in collecting information about where the shoes landed. In a year he collected useful information on 1, 600 shoes. With this data, he and a workmate were able to test and improve a computer program designed to model ocean currents, and publish the findings of their study.As the result of his work, Ebbesmeyer has become known as the scientist to call with questions about any unusual objects found floating in the ocean. He has even started an organization of beachcombers and ocean experts, with 500 customers from West Africa to New Zealand. They have recorded all lost objects from potatoes to golf gloves.37. How do most scientists study ocean currents?A. By using high-technology equipment.B. By researching movements of floating waste.C. By washing shoes.D. By making satellites.38.

To explain a special way of studying ocean currents.D. To give tips on how to search for lost objects on the beach.DIt is believed in some ways that the daughter is father’s lover. But my experience has taught me in a different way. For a long time my father has been a very vague figure（模糊形象）to me.He was a man of few words, tall but slim and nothing else.When I was in primary school, my father was never there to pick me up, and he never came to any of my parent-teacher meetings. He was always busy doing projects. I remember when I was in middle school and my head was badly hurt in a PE class. During my operation my father was nowhere to be found. This hurt me most. At that moment, I considered my father as a cold-blooded man who did not care about me at all.But things seemed different at my high school graduation ceremony where I was chosen to represent my class and give a speech. My father, once again, told me he had a business trip in a place outside the city and would be unable to show up. “Don’t come. I will be very nervous if I see you. ”I told him.I remember my speech went smoothly. After the ceremony was over and I was about to leave, I suddenly noticed a familiar looking man sitting in a corner of the hall. It was my father！I was so surprised that I rush ed to him with tears running down my face. “Well done,” he said. His eyes were also filled with tears.Later, I found out that my father had managed to finish his work by staying up late, and he drove for eight hours to get back. He had been sitting in the corner because he didn’t want me to see him. My father remembered every word in my speech.For much of my life I described my father was a cold-blooded man who only cared about his work. But when I thought deeply about this, it was obviously not true. At my graduation ceremony, I could feel my father’s deep love. The fact is that seeing is not believing, and seeing may not be the fact if we don’t perceive the world with our hearts and minds. There’s no doubt that life doesn’t lack（缺少）love, but sometimes our eyes have trouble seeing it.41. What was his father’s figure to the writer at first?A. A man full of words and warm hearted.B. A man of few words and nothing special.C. A tall and strong man who is wise and hardworking.D. A cruel and cold-blooded man.42. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. The writer’s father was in the hospital during her operation.B. The writer’s father attended her high school graduation ceremony.C. The writer’s father sometimes picked her up when she was in primary school.D. The writer’s father went to parent-teacher meetings when she was in primary school.43. The writer rushed to her father with tears running down her face mainly because ________．A. she gave a speech successfullyB. the graduation ceremony was overC. she was so nervous that she couldn’t help cryingD. she was touched to find her father cared about her44.
