9、help you do just that.Hello EnglishIt covers all the aspects of language learning, including vocabulary, translation, grammar, spelling, spoken and reading skills. It uses interactive games to teach different English lessons and offers new audio-books, latest news, and books. However, you should alr
10、eady understand basic English structures and alphabets, for the app cant help you learn English from scratch(从零开始).DuolingoIf you want to learn English from scratch, then this is the app you are looking for. Duolingo uses interactive games to help you learn English. For beginners, the app focuses on
11、 helping you learn verbs, phrases and sentences.LingbeIf you are ready to practice your spoken skills in the real world, youll need Lingbe. Its a community-based app where people help each other and share their native languages. It connects you with real people on call who are native English speaker
12、s.HelloTalkHelloTalk is similar to Lingbe as it connects you with native speakers to help improve your language skills. However, it adds a few extra functions that might interest you. You can view the information about users to find a match that interests you. Additionally, you can also send text an
13、d audio-messages, and even do video calls with other people.If you are a beginner, start from Duolingo and then use Hello English to take full command of the language. For fluent spoken English learners, you can try out Lingbe or HelloTalk.21.What should you already understand to use Hello English?A
14、. Good reading and writing skills.B. Basic listening and speaking tips.C. Different English lessons and books.D. English letters and basic structures.22.Which app is the best choice for an English beginner at first?A. Hello English.B. Duolingo.C. Lingbe.D. HelloTalk.23.What can you do on Lingbe?A. R
15、ead the latest news.B. Enjoy the interactive games.C. Practice your spoken English.D. Talk with native speakers in the flesh.BWhen talking about the two sexes, people often say that men are from Mars and women are from Venus. Undeniably, men and women have great differences in many ways.However, the
16、se contrasts in character could all be down to supposed differences between the male and female brain.For example, a study led by British psychologist Stuart Ritchie in 2012 found that mens brains are on average 10 percent bigger than womens. And another study led by Israeli psychologist Daphna Joel
17、 at Tel Aviv University in 2015 further claimed that differences exist in male and female brains, although each individuals brain has a “mix of features”, as New Scientist wrote.But Lise Eliot, a professor of neuroscience (神经学) at the Chicago Medical School, begs to differ. She recently said that th
18、e brain “is a unisex organ ”.Through analyzing brain data of several different men and women, Eliot found that the statistics about brain differences mean nothing. According to her findings, male and female brains are not much more different from each other than male or female hearts or kidneys. And
19、 more importantly, these differences dont show that male and female brains work differently.So, if its not in the brain, what makes males and females behave differently? The answer may lie in socialization, according to The Atlantic.In the past, many gender studies ignored the effects of a persons s
20、ocial background and upbringing, instead relying on other data. Take former Harvard University president Lawrence Summers for example. He used a 1970 study that showed men outperformed women 13-to-one on the math part of the SAT to argue that males are more suited to science subjects.However, anothe
21、r study found that if females were given better opportunities to study science subjects, the ratio would drop to three-to-one.Eliots study “contributed in an important way to the conversation,” neuropharmacologist Margaret McCarthy at the University of Maryland School of Medicine in Baltimore, US, t
22、old Science magazine.Yet, at the same time, McCarthy believes that classing males and females as essentially the same is going “too far”.24. Why were Ritchie and Joels studies mentioned in the article?A. To explain the causes of behavioral differences in men and women.B. To show how men and women di
23、ffer in character.C. To explain the differences between male and female brains.D. To explore the features of male and female brains.25. What did Eliots study find?A. Male and female brains are exactly the same.B. Male and female brains do not differ in function.C. Brain data is not useful for conduc
24、ting gender studies.D. Male and female brains have fewer differences than other organs.26. What causes the differences in behavior between men and women, according to The Atlantic?A. Brain size.B. Intelligence.C. Social environment.D. Learning ability.27. Which statement would McCarthy probably agre
25、e with?A. Its important to give equal opportunities to men and women.B. Its unnecessary to study the differences between mens and womens brains.C. Eliots study offers a good explanation for gender differences.D. Male brains are better at solving science problems.CTeenagers in the US know theyll prob
26、ably need tech skills to land good jobs, but a new survey suggests that interest in tech careers may be decreasing .The percentage of boys aged 13 to 17 who are interested in science, technology, engineering and math or STEM careers dropped from 36 percent in 2017 to 24 percent this year, according
27、to a survey by Junior Achievement USA. The amount of girls interested in STEM careers stayed unchanged at 11 percent.But the 1,000 survey participants still named technology as one of two key skills that will be necessary to prepare them for their future careers.“Kids dont understand how technology
28、can be applied to careers outside of computers, coding and maybe robotics,” said Tammera L. Holmes, president of aviation consulting firm AeroStar Consulting. “Thats all they know, so they cant really translate that interest to career pathways .”When Holmes was in high school, her mom sent her to an
29、 event that featured the Tuskegee Airmen, famous military pilots from World War II. One of the pilots took her for a ride and let her take the wheel. “I was 16 years old, flying over Lake Michigan, facing down the skyline, and I knew immediately that was the career for me,” she said.Women remain out
30、numbered by men in fields like technology. For people working to increase the number of women in these areas, the lack of growth in girls interest in STEM careers is concerning.Teenage girls are more interested than their male classmates in pursuing careers in which they can help others, said Ed Gro
31、cholski from Junior Achievement. Even with all the programs aimed at increasing girls interest in STEM, “I dont think we really talk that much about how we improve peoples lives through STEM,” Grocholski said.Society needs to do better at making those connections for kids, said Katherine Latham, fou
32、nder of an engineering firm. She used civil engineering as an example of a career that will continue to be crucial.However, the fact that students know they will need tech skills in their future careers is encouraging. The second skill they said they need? Relationship-building.“Thats going to be th
33、e new breed of engineers,” Latham said.28. What is the reason behind kids falling interest in tech careers?A. They find tech careers too boring.B. They find tech skills are less important than before.C. They cant connect their tech interest to future careers.D. They dont think tech careers are rewar
34、ding enough.29. What started Holmes interest in her current career?A. A documentary about the life of pilots.B. A summer camp for trainee pilots.C. Her parents wish for her to become a pilot.D. Her flight experience with a pilot.30. According to Grocholski, teenage girls are more interested in caree
35、rs that _.A. can improve peoples livesB. will make them look beautifulC. are different from those of their parentsD. can socialize more with other people31. What is the article mainly about?A. The popularity of tech careers among kids and its reasons.B. Reasons behind the change of kids interest in
36、tech careers.C. The different careers boys and girls in the US will pursue.D. Some examples of kids pursuing tech careers successfully. DFew writers have had such an impact on the thinking of the modern world as British writer George Orwell (1903-1950). Orwell wrote many things on a variety of topic
37、s, for example, poverty in England in the 1930s during the Great Depression and his experience in the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939).But he is most famous for his works of fiction, Animal Farm (1945) and, especially, Nineteen Eighty-Four (1949). These last books became especially influential in the W
38、est in the 1950s during the early Cold War years.In Nineteen Eighty-Four, Orwell imagined a Britain of the future, modeled on the Soviet Union. His chilling tale of Winston Smith, a regular man who comes into conflict with the government, was close to the fears of many people of the time. Ideas from
39、 the novel soon entered everyday culture, and are still in use today. “Big Brother”, for example, is a phrase from the book that refers to how authority is always looking over ones shoulder.Other phrases used in the novel, like “War is Peace” and “Freedom is slavery” are also still used now. Indeed,
40、 many people see Orwells books as warnings about what might happen if those in power become corrupted (腐败).Even today, Orwell remains an influential voice. Often, writers achieve great fame and popularity, but they dont affect how people live their everyday lives. For example, British author JK Rowl
41、ing is a huge literary success, but one wouldnt say that Harry Potter has affected the way people think about politics. For better or for worse, however, George Orwell has.Its because of Orwells influence on popular thinking that UNESCOs Memory of the World Programme recently decided to include a co
42、llection of Orwells writings on its register.The Memory of the World register is similar to UNESCOs world heritage (遗产) site program, which protects places and buildings and natural features in the world. According to its website, the idea behind the body is “that the worlds documentary evidence bel
43、ongs to all” and should be “permanently accessible to all”.University College London, which proposed the idea to UNESCO, said in its application that Orwells work “had a profound (深远的) influence on human thought in all parts of the world, an influence that remains potent (强大的) today”. 32. What do we
44、 know about Orwell?A. His most famous works were based on his own experience.B. His books were well-received during the Cold War.C. He mainly wrote about imaginative, beautiful worlds.D. His writings are often compared to those of JK Rowling.33. Whats the novel Nineteen Eighty-Four about?A. The crue
45、lty of war in the 20th century.B. The serious effects of poverty in England.C. Peoples various conflicts with the government.D. A corrupt UK government of the future.34. The phrases from Orwells books are mentioned in the article mainly to _.A. share some of his classic ideasB. show how he used lang
46、uage in a creative wayC. stress his ideas are still meaningful todayD. show how he described the dark side of society35. Why were Orwells writings included on the Memory of the World register?A. They introduced a new way of writing.B. They were a huge literary success.C. They shaped political system
47、s in Western countries.D. They continue to have a great influence on human thought.第二节 七选五阅读理解（12.5分）Energy balance is the balance of energy in and energy out. 36 Energy out is the calories (卡路里) burned from physical activity(like walking in the climbing stairs)，activities of daily living(like getti
48、ng dressed and cleaning your room) and basic body processes(like thinking and sleeping).Human beings need energy to surviveto breathe，move and think. 37 When we say a kind of food or drink contains 100 calories，that is a way of describing how much energy our body gets from eating or drinking it. 38
