26、 Language 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 very good 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.
【1】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A.Because it used out-of-date methods.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.
【2】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.
【3】Which of the following can probably replace the underlined word address?
A.Deal with. B.Write down. C.Turn to. D.Speak of.
【4】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.
27、 When you’re a teenager, of course, you want to stress the difference between your age group and the older generation, and changing the language you use is a great way to do this.
One way in which teens change their language is to introduce new vocabulary or change the meaning of existing words. 【1】. Bad suddenly meant good and sick took on the meaning of very cool. These uses don’t last for long, though. They change again very quickly.
【2】. One example of a teen-led change is the fashionable use among some young people of innit (a shortened form of isn’t it) as a substitute for all question tags. Although some people are concerned that this trend towards “text-speak” is harming the language, Professor David Crystal doesn’t agree. According to him, the fact that teens use “text-speak”, shortened words and even emoticons does not mean the end of the language. Texting is just a new type of English that has evolved as a result of Internet technology. 【3】.
Although teenagers are often criticised for ignoring linguistic rules and ruining the language, we should bear in mind that languages are not fixed. 【4】. New vocabulary develops as speakers need new words to match the new things in their lives, Grammar also changes over time, which explains why many present-day speakers find Shakespeare’s sixteenth-century plays difficult to read. 【5】, but realizing that language change is normal and unavoidable and that teens are important to this process might help the older generations to sleep better at night.
A. Young people also make changes to grammar
B. It hasn’t had any influence on the rest of the language
C Adults may not like the way teens speak to each other
D. They all change naturally over time for a lot of reasons
E. Young people tend to adapt themselves to new language
F. We continue to need to create many new words and phrases these days
G. Some recent examples of teen-speak show how big these changes in meaning can be
28、Encouraging children to use gestures as they think can help them come up with more creative ideas, according to new research.
“Our findings show that children naturally gesture when they think of unusual ways to use everyday items, ”says psychological scientist Elizabeth Kirk. “When we then asked children to move their hands, they were able to come up with even more creative ideas. ”
“Gesturing may allow us to explore the properties(特性)of the items — for example, how the item could be held, its size, its shape, etc. — and doing so can help us come up with ideas for creative uses, ” Kirk explains.
In their first study, the researchers compared the creativity of children who spontaneously (自发地)gestured with those who either did not or could not gesture.
A total of 78 children, aged 9-11, saw a series of images of ordinary items, such as a newspaper, a tin can, and a kettle. The researchers asked the children to look at each image and list as many uses as they could think of. A group of participants completed the task twice — on one version of the task, they wore mittens(连指手套)that limited their ability to gesture.
Restricting children’s ability to gesture did not affect their ability to come up with creative uses for the objects; Children who were free to gesture produced about the same number of ideas as those who wore the mittens and could not gesture.
In a second experiment, 54 children completed the same alternative-uses task. In some cases, children gestured normally; in other cases, the researchers encouraged the children to“use your hands to show me how you could use the object in different ways”.
The encouragement worked: Children who were specifically encouraged to gesture produced a greater number of creative uses for the objects than did the children who were not given any special instruction.
“Our findings add to the growing body of evidence showing the significant role of gesture in thinking and have applications to the classroom,” Kirk concluded in their paper.
【1】What did the researchers intend to find out in the first experiment?
A.The number of creative ideas the children could think of.
B.How the children would explore the properties of the items.
C.Whether encouraging gesture would help to produce more new ideas.
D.The difference between thinking with gestures and without gestures.
【2】Why were mittens used in the experiment?
A.To restrict gestures.
B.To limit creative thinking.
C.To test the ability to gesture,
D.To increase creative ideas.
【3】When did the children think of the most new ideas?
A.When wearing mittens.
B.When encouraged to gesture.
C.When naturally gesturing.
D.When not using their hands.
【4】What would be the best title for the text?
A.Communicate with Gestures
B.Think with Your Hands
C.Use Everyday Items Creatively
D.Make Gestures when Necessary
29、In 1858, two men wanted to be elected United States Senator from Illinois. One was Stephen Douglas. The other was Abraham Lincoln. Douglas was already the Senator, but his term in office was up. Lincoln had once been a U.S. Representative but was then a lawyer in Illinois.
The men agreed to have seven public meetings, or debates, in seven different cities in Illinois. That way, voters all over the state would have a chance to hear what each man stood for.
The first debate was in Ottawa on August 21, 1858. The main thing the men disagreed on was slavery. Douglas believed that as new states joined the union, they should decide for themselves whether or not they wanted to be a slave state or a free state. Lincoln believed that slavery should not spread beyond the states that already had slaves. He said the United States could not survive as half-slave and half-free states.
The debates drew large crowds in all seven cities. People in the entire country were paying attention. Lincoln lost the Senate race. The debates did, however, make him well known everywhere.
In 1860, it was time to elect a new President. Lincoln won the Republican party’s nomination(提名). Douglas won the Democratic party’s nomination. The two men again faced each other to get the people’s votes. This time Lincoln won. He became the nation’s 16th President.
The slavery issue was still causing bad feelings between slave and non-slave states. By the time Lincoln took over as President on March 4, 1861, seven states had left the union. A month later, the Civil War began.
【1】Why did the two men have debates in seven cities?
A. To protect themselves.
B. To persuade each other.
C. To make their views known better.
D. To give the voters some advice.
【2】What view did Stephen Douglas stick to in the debate?
A. The new states should unite with other states.
B. The new states should separate from the Union.
C. The new states were free to keep slavery or not.
D. The new states should not keep slavery any more.
【3】What was the result of the debates?
A. The debates made Lincoln famous.
B. Voters strongly disagreed on slavery.
C. Lincoln failed in the president election
D. Douglas drew more attention in the country.
【4】Why did the civil war break out?
A. The Northern states rose up.
B. Lincoln was defeated in the election.
C. The Southern states still kept slaves.
D. There was conflict between slave and non-slave states.

Expressions about water are almost as common as water itself. But many of the expressions using water have unpleasant meanings.
The expression “to be in hot water” is one of them. It is a very old expression, which can be 【1】 back to 500 years ago. The expression is used to mean being in trouble. One story says it got that meaning from the custom of throwing extremely hot water down on enemies attacking a castle.
Being in “deep water” is almost the same as being in “hot water”. When you are in deep water, you are in a difficult 【2】. Imagine a person who cannot swim being thrown in water over his head.

You can be in deep water, for example, if you invest in stocks in complete 【3】 of the stock market.
"Water over the dam" is another expression about a past event. It is something that cannot be 【4】. The expression comes from the idea that water that has 【5】 a dam cannot be brought back again. When a friend is 【6】 by a mistake she has made, you might tell her to forget about it. You say it is water over the dam.
Another common expression, "to hold water," is about the strength or weakness of an idea or opinion that you may be arguing about. It probably comes from the way of testing the 【7】 of a container. If it can hold water, it is strong and has no holes in it. If your 【8】 can hold water, it is strong and does not have any holes. If it does not hold water, then it is weak and can not be 【9】.

THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE
In Congress, July 4, 1776
When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bonds which have connected them with another, and to assume among the Powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s god entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should d【1】 the causes which impel them to the separation.
We h【2】 these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created e【3】, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable R【4】, that among these are life, L【5】, and the pursuit of Happiness.
That to secure these rights, g 【6】 are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.
That whenever any form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the P 【7】 to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, l【8】 its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such f【9】, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience has shown, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariable the same Object, evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their d 【10】, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.
