We also discussed the rules for entering in the United States. And we talked about programs that can be completed online.But if your goal is to come to the United States to study, then it is time to make a list of colleges or universities that interest you. Be sure to choose more than one. Directors of foreign student admissions say students should apply to at leastthree schools.Some students want to attend a small college. Others want to go to a big university. If a really big university appeals to you，then there are ones like Ohio State. That university in Columbus，Ohio，in the Midwest, has almost fifty-two thousand students. There are students this year from around one hundred fifty countries.Ohio State provides international students with an application on its website. You can pay the application charge online with a credit card. Or you can print the forms and mail them with the payment.Many colleges and universities have their applications and also their catalogs（目录）online.You should start on your applications at least two years before you want to begin studies.Completing a college application can take some time. But answering all the questions is not enough. Another important step is taking admissions tests. The SAT is the college entry test that American high school students most commonly take. Another one is the ACT.Colleges and universities may also require international students to take the TOEFL—the Test of English as a Foreign Language.If you have a general question for our Foreign Student Series，**************************.1. What purpose does Paragraph 1 serve in the passage?A. To provide background information of thetopic.B. To attract readers’ attention to the topic.C. To remind the readers of a related article tothe topic.D. To offer basic knowledge of the topic.2. Which of the statements is not true according to the passage?A. You should present your applications to atleast three countries.B. You should take admissions tests before youstart your studies.C. You can apply to colleges or universitiesonline.D. You should start on your applications at leasttwo years before you want to begin studies. 3. According to this passage, “Ohio State”is .A. one of the states in AmericaB. the name of a Web siteC. another name for “Columbus, Ohio”D. a university in America4.Besides a college application, you are required to take test（s）if you’re not an American.A. oneB. twoC. threeD. four5. What will the author most probably talk about next?A. SAT.B. ACT.C. FSS.D. TOEFL.BOne of the most popular literary figures in American literature is a woman who spent almost half of the long life in China，a country on a continent thousands of miles from the Unite States. In her lifetime she earned this country’s most highly acclaimed（称赞）literary award－the Pulitzer Prize, and also the most prestigious form of literary recognition in the world, the Nobel Prize for Literature. Pearl S. Buck was almost a household word throughout much of her lifetime because of her prolific literary output, which consisted of some eighty-five published works, including several dozen novels, six collections of short stories, fourteen books for children, and more than a dozen works of nonfiction. When she was eighty years old, some twenty-five volumes were awaiting publication. Many of those books were set in China, the land in which she spent so much of her life. Her books and her life served as a bridge between the cultures of the East and the West. As the product of those two cultures she became as she described herself, “mentally bifocal（双焦点的）”.Her unique background made her into an unusually interesting and versatile（多才多艺的）human being. As we examine the life of Pearl S. Buck, we cannot help but be aware that we are in fact meeting three separate people; a wife and mother, an internationally famous writer and a humanitarian and philanthropist（慈善家）.One cannot really get to know Pearl S. Buck without learning about each of the three, though honored in her lifetime with the William Dean Howell Medal of the American Academy of Arts and Letters in addition the Nobeland Pulitzer prizes. Pearl S. Buck as a total human being, not only a famous author, is an attractive subject of study.6. What is the author’s main purpose in the passage？A. To offer a criticism of the works of Pearl S.Buck.B. To illustrate Pearl S. Buck’s views on Chineseliterature.C. To indicate the background and diverseinterests of Pearls S. Buck.D. To discuss Pearl S. Buck’s influence on thecultures of the East and the West.7. The underlined w ord “prestigious” in the passage probably means .A. ancientB. renownedC. popularD. similar8. According to the passage，Pearls S. Buck is known as a writer of all of the following EXCEPT.A. novelsB. children’s booksC. poetryD. short stories9. According to the passage Pearls S. Buck was an unusual figure in American literature in that she .A. wrote extensively about a very differentcultureB. published half of her books abroadC. won more awards than any other woman ofher timeD. achieved her first success very late in life10. According to the passage, Pearl S. Buck described herself as “mentally bifocal”to suggest that she was .A. capable of solving the differences betweentwo language systemsB. quite aware of how the past could influencethe futureC. capable of producing literary works of interestto both adults and childrenD. equally familiar with two different culturalenvironmentsCTo Lauder Exchange Program：Gaia Filicori was a student in my Humanities class for the 2019—2019 year. From the first week of classes it was obvious that Gaia was an excellent student and a very sociable young lady. She was always eager to join in class discussion. Gaia’s ability to communicate her own ideas is a skill that many of us work for a very long time to achieve.Gaia also has a deep curiosity about the world around her. The simple fact that she desires to spend a year in another country is proof enough. I have also seen her show this curiosity in class. She asked some of the most interesting and thoughtful questions of any of the students in her class. When others were content to accept a point, Gaia would see from a new angle that none of us had tried.As a student in Humanities, Gaia was required to complete a group project. The project was to write a page for a Humanities textbook using text and multi-media. It was a challenging task and Gaia’s group was experiencing some difficulties. Yet, they had an easier time of it because they did not hesitate to come to me with their problems and try to work them out. As a result，Gaia and her group had one of the more successful projects. The ability needed to recognize a problem and ask for help to solve it will be of great value if she is selected to be a Lauder Exchange student.Gaia’s interest in the world around her will serve her well as a Lauder Exchange student. The ease with which she gets along with others and the ease with which she makes new friends will also help her as she tries to learn in a foreign setting. I have no doubt that Gaia would be a wonderful representative of the Lauder Program，Stuyvesant High School，and the United States.Perry JonesSocial StudiesStuyvesant High SchoolIf you have any other questions please feel free to contact me.212-312-4800;***************11. The main purpose of this letter is to .A. express a student’s curiosity about theworldB. introduce a student to an exchangeprogramC. praise an excellent studentD. encourage a student to join in an exchangeprogram12. According to the writer, Gaia seems to haveall the following abilities except .A. communicating well with othersB. thinking about things from differentanglesC. making new friendsD. learning a language quickly in a foreignsetting13.

It is implied but not stated in the passagethat .A. Gaia was an excellent student and a verysociable young ladyB. Gaia has a deep curiosity about the worldaround herC. Perry Jones admired Gaia for her ability inmany aspectsD. Gaia’s interest in the world around her willserve her well as a Lauder ExchangestudentDIt is quite reasonable to blame traffic jams, the cost of gas and the great speed of modern life, but manners on the road are becoming horrible. Everybody knows that the nicest men would become fierce tigers behind the wheel. It is all right to have a tiger in a cage, but to have one in the driver’s seat is another matter.Road politeness is not only good manners, but good sense. It takes the most cool-headed driversgreat patience to g ive up the desire to beat back when forced to face rude driving. On the other hand, a little politeness goes a long way towards reducing the possibility of quarrelling and fighting.A friendly nod or a wave of thanks in answer to an act of politeness helps to create an atmosphere of goodwill and calm so necessary in modern traffic conditions. But such behaviors of politeness are by no means enough. Many drivers nowadays don’t even seem able to recognize politeness when they see it. However, misplaced politeness can also be dangerous. Typical examples are the driver who waves a child crossing the street at a wrong place into the path of oncoming cars that may not be able to stop in time. The same goes for encouraging old ladies to cross the road wherever and whenever they want to. It always amazes me that the highways are not covered with the dead bodies of these grannies.An experienced driver, whose manners are faultless, told me it would help if drivers learnt to correctly join in traffic stream without causing total blockages that give rise to unpleasant feelings. Unfortunately, modern drivers can’t even learn to drive, let alone master the roadmanship. Years ago, experts warned us that the fast increase of the car ownership would demand more give-and-take from all road users. It is high time for all of us to take this message to heart.16. Which of the following statements is falseaccording to the passage?A. Some modern drivers are not good at driving.B. Road politeness is good sense as well as goodmanners.C. It is also right to have a tiger in the driver’s seat.D.A friendly driver should nod or wave thanks inanswer to an act of politeness.17. The passage mainly talks about .A. road politenessB. traffic jamsC. good mannersD. modern drivers18. Troubles on the road are usually causedby .A. traffic jamsB. the behavior of the driversC. great speedD. terrible road conditions19. According to the writer，a good drivershould .A. beat back when forced to face rude drivingB. be able to recognize politeness when he s ees itC. encourage old ladies to cross the roadswhenever they want toD. join in traffic stream quickly however otherpeople feel20. The underlined phrase “give rise to” in the lastparagraph probably means .A. stand upB. ariseC. rise upD. causeIV.书面表达（满分20分）在我国，交通事故频频发生。

It was a frightening, yet fun experience.My granddad was the one who taught me, and he helped me when I got hurt. The first time I got on a bike, I had no idea what I was doing, and just about everything went wrong. My granddad told me to just put my feet on the pedals and start, pedaling(骑自行车). He also told me he would hold onto the back of the bike the whole time, yet he didn't.As soon as I started trying to balance myself, he let go. I happenedto look back just then. I was scared to death that I was going to fall and hurt myself. When I was scared, my mind went blank from pedaling, and I just wanted off. I forgot how to use the brakes(车闸) and fell right off the bike. My granddad kept encouraging me to get up and try again, and after about 15 minutes, I finally stopped crying, got up and tried again.As soon as I started pedaling again, my pants got caught in the chain, and I fell flat on my face and hit my nose. Since that happened, my granddad decided to call it a day and try again the next morning. The next morning I woke up bright and early, and was very eager to try to ride my bike. My nose felt better, so I wasn't that afraid of falling anymore.Though I knew there were a lot of difficulties on the way to mastering the skills in riding a bike, l believed I could do well with my granddad's help. After all, riding a bike was what I wanted to do eagerly.25. How was the author when he was on the bike first?A. He didn't know where he would be going.B. He thought balancing himself was easy.C.

Which of the following could be the title for the passage ?A. The Experience of My First Riding a BikeB. The Difficulty I Met with My GranddadC. The First Time I Got My Own BikeD. The Great Moment When I Stayed with My GranddadCSnoring(打鼾) is noisy breathing during sleep. It is a common problem among all ages and it influences about 90 million American adults. People most at risk are males and those who are overweight, but snoring is a problem of both genders, although it is possible that women do not present this complaint as frequently as men.Snoring is often the loud or harsh sound that can occur as you sleep. You snore when the flow of air makes the tissue in the back of your throat vibrate(颤动) as you breathe. The sound most often occurs as you breathe in air, and can come through the nose, mouth or both two organs. It can occur during any stage of sleep.About half of people snore at some point in their lives. Snoring is more common among men, though many women snore. It appears to run in families and becomes more common as you get older. About 40 percent of adult men and 24 percent of adult women are habitual snorers. Men become less likely to snore after the age of 70.Sleeping on your back may make you more likely to snore. You may snore when your throat or tongue muscles are relaxed. And substances(物质) that can relax these muscles may cause you to snore. These include alcohol, muscle relaxants and other medicine.Snoring can be a nuisance to your partner and anyone else nearby. You may even snore loudly enough to wake yourself up. Though, in many cases people do not realize that they snore. Snoring can also cause you to have a dry mouth when you wake up.Light snoring may not disrupt your overall sleep quality. Heavy snoring may be connected with a risk factor in the heart disease, strokeand many other health problems. So never take it lightly.29. Why do some people snore during their sleep?A. Because there is something wrong with their throat.B. Because noises are made when they breathe out.C. Because the tissue in their throat is vibrating.D. Because they use their mouth and nose to breathe meanwhile.30. What can we conclude from the third paragraph?A. Men suffer much more because of their snoring.B. Women are easier to become habitual snorers.C. Snoring may have something to do with genes.D. The older you turn, the more seriously you snore.31. In which part of a website can we read the passage?A. Sports.B. Education.C. Culture.D. Science.DA new report says living in a city makes it harder for people to concentrate(集中) on some tasks. The research found that people who live in rural areas can focus better than people in urban areas. The study is from Goldsmiths College, which is part of the University of London. Head researcher Dr. Karina Linnell and her team made great contributions. They studied how two groups of people did the same "thinking tasks". The team went to a remote(偏远的) part of Namibia, southwest Africa, to study the Himba tribe. Himba people live a very basic life in the desert. They are still doing traditional farming. The team also studied members of the same tribe who had moved to the nearest town. Dr. Linnell said the tribe who lived in the desert did much better on the tests than those in the town. It's really interesting and shocking.Dr. Linnell said their research may lead to changes in the way companies operate. In the future, workers may move from cities to liveand work in the countryside. Linnell said there are too many things around us in the city that stop us from thinking about one thing for a long time. This means we do not work at our best. She asked, "What if, for example, companies realized certain tasks would be better carried out by employees based outside of the urban environment? There their concentration ability is better. "The past century has seen billions of people move from the countryside to big cities. In the future, the trend may not continue. If Dr. Linnell's research is true, this century might see many of those people return to the great outdoors. Let's wait to see what will happen.32. What did Dr. Linnell and her team conclude from the study on the Himba tribe?A. Himba people are cleverer than others.B. Himba people aren't used to the life in city.C. Himba people focus better in the desertD. Himba people give up traditional farming.33. What happened in the past one hundred years?A. Many people returned to the countryside.B. Big cities attracted many people to live and work.C. Many people couldn't concentrate on one task.D. The way companies operate changed a great deal.34. The underlined word "outdoors" in the last paragraph probably refers to "______".A. villagesB.citiesC. townsD.countries35. What is the main purpose of the text ?A. to remind people to focus better.B. to advise people to live in countryside.C. to share a recent study with readers.D. to show the bright future to readers.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

The English Channel Tunnel.B. The tunnel between Lyon and Turin.C. The Taiwan Straits tunnel.D. The passage doesn’t mention it.42.The example of the English Channel Tunnel shows.A. it’s not easy to complete a huge projectB. there are many problems to be solvedbefore doing somethingC. discussions among countries usually takea lot of timeD.the preparation takes longer time than theconstruction43. Which of the following is NOT true?A. Universities both at home and abroadhave sponsored the plan.B. If the project is completed，the world’slongest tunnel will appear.C. You can’t reach Taiwan from the mainlanddirectly at present.D. The starting point of the proposed tunnelis in Fujian.44. What is the possible difficulty in carryingout the plan？A. The lack of money for the project from thegovernment.B. Improving the relationship betweenTaiwan and the mainland.C. The detailed plans for the tunnel.D. The technical problems with the tunnel.CThink about the different ways that people use the wind.You can use it to fly a kite or to sail a boat.Wind is one of our cleanest and richest power sources （来源），as well as one of the oldest.Evidence shows that windmills （风车）began to be used in ancient Iran back in the seventh century BC.They were first introduced to Europe during the 1100s,when armies returned from the Middle East with knowledge of using wind power.For many centuries,people used windmills to grind （磨碎）wheat into flour or pump water from deep underground.When electricity was discovered in the late 1800s,people living in remote areas began to use them to produce electricity.This allowed them to have electric lights and radio.However,by the 1940s when electricity was available to people in almost all areas of the United States,windmills were rarely u sed.During the 1970s,people started becoming concerned about the pollution that is created when coal and gas are burned to produceelectricity.People also realized that the supply of coal and gas would not last forever.Then,wind was rediscovered,though it means higher costs.Today,there is a global movement to supply more and more of our electricity through the use of wind.45.From the text we know that windmills .A.were invented by European armiesB.have a history of more than 2,800 yearsed to supply power to radio in remote areasD.have rarely been used since electricity wasdiscovered46.What was a new use for wind power in the late 19th century?A.Sailing a boat.B.Producing electricity.C.Grinding wheat into flour.D.Pumping water from underground.47.One of the reasons wind was rediscovered in the 1970s is that .A.wind power is cleanerB.it is one of the oldest power sourcesC.it was cheaper to create energy from windD.the supply of coal and gas failed to meet needs48.What would the author probably discuss inthe paragraph that follows?A.The advantages of wind power.B.The design of wind power plants.C.The worldwide movement to save energy.D.The global trend towards producing powerfrom wind.DWanted，Someone for a KissWe’re looking for producers to join us on the sound of London Kiss 100 FM.You’ll work on the station’s music programmes.Music production experience in radio is necessary,along with rich knowledge of modern dance music.Please apply in writing to Producer Vacancies,Kiss 100.Father ChristmasWe’re looking for a very special person,preferably over 40,to fill our Father Christmas suit.Working days：Every Saturday from November 24 to December 15 and every day from December 17 to December 24 except Sundays,10：30-16：00.Excellent pay.Please contact （联系）the Enterprise Shopping Centre,Station Parade,Eastbourne.Accountants AssistantWhen you join the team in our Revenue Administration Unit,you will be providing assistance within all parts of the Revenue Division,dealing with post and other general duties.If you are educated to GCSE grade Clevel we would like to talk to you.This position is equally suitable for a school leaver or for somebody who has office experience.Wealden District CouncilSoftware TrainerIf you are aged 24-45 and have experience in teaching and training,you could be the person we are looking for.You should be good at the computer and have some experience in programme writing.You will be allowed to make your own decisions,and to design courses as well as present them.Pay upwards of ￡15,000 for the right person.Please apply by sending your CV （简历）to Mrs R.

"When I attempted to end my life, I knew I needed to see someone. I went to the doctors and got treatment, but I know that I needed something more and that's when I started photography."Now a dad of two, Doogue found that looking at insects through a camera helped him in ways he could never have imagined and it proved to be the lifeline he needed. It had a calming effect that helped him to disconnect from stress. And his astonishing images, showing insects and spiders in amazing detail against brightly colored backgrounds, caught the eye of publishers at National Geographic. "I ended up as one of their featured photographers," recalled Doogue. "It was the peak of my career. It was incredible."Originally from Salford, Greater Manchester, he now lives in Armadale, West Lothian, Scotland. Though he fears that Scotland is in the middle of an epidemic of male suicide, he believes that sharing his love of nature photography can help others to cope with their mental health issues as well. "I think the problem is this man-up approach; the idea that men need to be strong puts so much pressure on young males to be fine all the time," says Doogue. "This is why I try and be so open about my own experience. Whenever I am out with my camera, I don't think about my other worries. It is just me and the environment around me. You can lose yourself in a spider making its web."4、What does the underlined phrase "hit rock bottom" in paragraph 1 mean?A. Be in the worst possible situation.B. Reach the bottom of a valley.C. Crash into the lowest part of a rock.D. Launch an attack on the rock bottom.5、How did photography benefit Doogue?A. It gave him a new way to express himself.B. It helped him to escape from pressure.C. It provided him with life-saving skills.D. It offered him an opportunity to explore nature.6、What caused Scottish men to develop mental health problems?A. The way men employ to solve problems.B. The lack of love for men's life and work.C. The worry that men get separated from people.D. The belief that men are expected to be strong.7、What is the main purpose of the author in writing the text?A. To warn the severity of mental problems.B. To show the benefits of nature photography.C. To advise readers to get close to nature.D. To introduce Doogue's fighting against depression.The sun is setting, brightening your kids' faces as they play in the waves. You reach for your phone for this perfect moment. But before you do, here's a bit of surprising science: Taking photos is not the perfect way to keep memory as you think.Taking too many pictures could actually harm the brain's ability to keep memories, says Elizabeth Loftus, a psychology professor at the University of California, Irvine. So we get the photo but kind of lose the memory.Photography "outsources" memories. It works in two ways: We either shake off the responsibility of remembering moments when taking pictures, or we're so distracted (分散注意力的) by the process that we miss the moment altogether.The first explanation is the loss of memory. People know that their camera is recording that moment, so they don't try to remember. Similarly, if you write down someone's phone number, you're less likely to remember it offhand because your brain tells you there's just no need. That's all well and good—until that piece of paper goes missing.The other is distraction. We're distracted by the process of taking a photo—how we hold our phone, composing the photo, such as smiling faces, the background to our liking and clear image, all of which uses up our attention that could otherwise help us memorize.However, taking photos can benefit memory—when done mindfully. While taking a photo may be distracting, the act of preparation by focusing on visual details around has some upsides. When people take the time to zoom in (拉近镜头) on specific things, memories become strengthened.Another benefit is that we recall moments more accurately with the photos. Memory hasbeen reshaped with the help of new information and new experiences. Thus, photos or videos help us recall moments as if they really happened.Memories die away without a visual record backing them up. Therefore, a photo is an excellent tool to help remember when done purposefully, which is worth exploring further.8、What is the purpose of the first paragraph?A. To introduce the topic.B. To call on readers not to take photos.C. To show the interest in taking photos.D. To make us think of similar experience.9、Why does photography "outsource" memories?A. Photos are more detailed than memories.B. Taking photos is helpful for us to memorize.C. People depend more on photos to remember than their brains.D. Many sources influence people's memories during photo-taking.10、What may likely be discussed next?A. Situations when taking photos is better.B. How to stay focused while taking photos.C. When distraction is most likely to happen.D. How to use photo-taking to memorize better.11、Which of the following could be the best title for the text?A. Photography Does Help to MemoriesB. Too Many Photos Taken Results in Poor MemoriesC. Remember the Moment and Take Photos ProperlyD. The Fewer Photos We Take, the Better We Will RememberThe first model of Apple's iPhone was launched in June 2007. Since then, many different smartphones have been introduced. The devices now influence our daily lives in many ways. One thing that has changed is that many people now use their phones to easily take pictures without the need for a camera. Not surprisingly, this change has caused major business problems for camera manufacturers.Of course, the camera built into the first iPhone 15 years ago did not include a high-quality camera able to compete with separate camera models. But over the years, smartphone makers have invested heavily in research and development to change that. Today, many smartphones have high-quality cameras designed to produce better pictures. And most phonedevices also offer powerful tools to improve the quality of the pictures we take.Japan's Camera &Tmaging Products Association (CIPA) said the digital camera market continually expanded starting in 1999. It experienced its first decrease in 2009 —and continued to fall thereafter. The biggest change appeared from 2010 to 2020, when worldwide camera shipments fell about 93 percent, CIPA reported. The decreases were mainly caused by drops in shipments of digital cameras that have built-in lenses.However, camera makers have had more success selling digital cameras with interchangeable lenses. This is because these cameras are generally targeted at professional photographers who demand higher quality. Such cameras can produce "high image quality that distinguishes them from smartphones," CIPA said.But this does not mean that professional photographers never use smartphones to capture pictures. Brynn Anderson is based with the AP in Atlanta, Georgia. She said: "Sometimesphotographed. Using a phone makes it easier for me to get comfortable moments that might not happen otherwise." Rodrigo Abd, an AP photographer in Buenos Aires, Argentina says using the iPhone makes it easier for him "to always be attentive" to everyday events when not covering a news story. Oded Balilty is based in Tel Aviv, Israel. "It is definitely an alternative tool," he said of the iPhone.

And anyone who has tried to learn to play the violin or other instruments can report similar challenges.Now researchers have found that people with musical training have an easier time learning Chinese. Writing in the online edition of Nature Neuroscience, researchers from Northwestern University say that both skills draw on the same parts of the brain that help people discover changes in pitch (音调).One of the study’s authors, Nina Kraus, said the findings suggested that studying music “actually tunes our sensory system”. This means that schools that want children to do well in languages should hesitate before cutting music programs, Dr. Kraus said. She said music training might also help children with language problems.Mandarin (普通话) speakers have been shown to have a more complex encoding (编码) of pitch patterns in their brains than English speakers do. This is because in Mandarin and other Asian languages, pitch plays a central role. A single­syllable word can have several meanings depending on how it is intoned.For this study, the researchers looked at 20 non­Chinese speaking volunteers, half with no musical background and half who have studied an instrument for at least six years.As they were shown a movie, the volunteers also heard an audio tape of the Mandarin word “mi” in three of its meanings: squint, bewilder and rice. The researchers recorded activities in their brain stems to see how well they were processing the sounds. Those with a music background showed much more brain activities in response to the Chinese sounds.The lead author of the study, Patrick C. M. Wong, said it might work both ways. It appears that native speakers of tonal languages may do better at learning instruments.1. When learning Chinese, a foreigner will find ________.A. he has a difficult time learning music at the same timeB. he has an easier time learning music at the same timeC. it is hard to master the tones required to speak and understandD. it is easy to use the brain to help him discover changes in pitch2. Why does Chinese learning have something to do with music training?A. Because there is the same difficulty in learning Chinese and music.B. Because skills to learn the two make use of the same parts of the brain.C. Because music training might help people with language study.D. Because people who do well in Chinese study do well in music.3. The underlined word “intoned” in the fourth paragraph can be replaced by the word “________”.A. createdB. spelledC. seemedD. pronounced4. What would be the best title for this passage?A. Mandarin Speakers Are Smarter than English SpeakersB. Skilled Ear for Music May Help Language StudyC. Pitch Plays a Central Role in Chinese LearningD. Schools Need to Develop Music ProgramsBLanguage learning apps are very popular now and offer opportunities to learn vocabulary and practice grammar. But there has been a discussion about just how effective such apps can be.Among the most popular apps are Duolingo and Busuu. A previous research found positive results on the use of them. But it mainly concentrates on studies with learners who had signed up for language courses and these apps worked as an after-class support, so the results were not always reliable. A recent study of 4,095 Busuu users has been carried out to find out if users can actually learn a language with an app.Busuu provides learning materials for 12 different languages. It offers special models where some contents are available for free while some contents are not. We find that its users are an even mix of men and women. More than half consider themselves to be at the beginner level as there is a decrease in users as their language levels go up. Most people use the app because of personal interest, or because they want to study or live abroad. Females tend to use it less often but for longer periods of time than male users.Getting any feedback on Busuu depends on whether your answer is correct or not. While it is helpful, this is not the sort of feedback language teachers prefer, as it does not explain why the answer is right or wrong. In spite of this, feedback in the app is very highly rated.More than 92% of the people state that the app has met their expectations and 86% consider the app as verygood or good. In fact, more than 80% of the users surveyed strongly agree that using the app has helped them improve their knowledge of the language they are learning.Besides, language learning apps also create an environment where mistakes are only known to the users, and this can address the performance anxiety that many learners suffer from when asked to speak a foreign language. So language teachers should encourage their students to use them to do the grammar work, leaving precious class time for more language communication.5. Why weren’t the results of the former research always dependable?A. Because it used out-of-date methods.B. Because it just focused on positive results.C. Because it was only carried out before class.D. Because it only considered users of a limited type.6. What can we learn about the app Busuu from the text?A. All the contents are free to use.B. It’s used by more advanced learners.C. Most users consider it satisfying.D. It’s more popular with female learners.7. Which of the following can probably replace the underlined word address?A. Deal with.B. Write down.C. Turn to.D. Speak of.8. What is the main idea of the text?A. Students won’t suffer anxiety in learning languages by using Busuu.B. Language learning apps are effective and satisfactory to language learners.C. Language learning apps are very popular with most language teachers.D. Students should be required to use apps for homework after class.三、应用文写作(共1小题)Students in China spend a lot of time learning English. But most of them cannot use it to communicate. Some experts think the reason lies in the testing system, because the current English testing system in China puts too much pressure on students to get high marks and pay no attention to the development of their overall (全面的) language abilities. Considering this, recently many experts are calling for reforms (改革) of the English language testing system to make it more effectively to develop actual language abilities. They say changes are necessary for the development of the national English education system.写作要求：1.用30个词左右概括上述话题的主要内容；2.用约100个词就这一话题发表自己的看法，并包括如下要点：(1)你是否赞成英语考试的改革。
