    【题目】 Back in November, we did a study that found (surprise) that Babbel ranks as one of the most efficient ways to learn a language. The independent study was conducted by researchers at the City University of New York (CUNY) and the University of South Carolina, and evaluated the overall efficacy（功效） of Babbel Spanish courses, examining the progress of 391 randomly selected learners and assessing participants’ knowledge of Spanish at the beginning

    STUDY FINDING #1: “Truly novice users（初学者） with no knowledge of Spanish need on average 15 hours of study in a two-month period to cover the requirements for one college semester of Spanish.”

    STUDY FINDING #2: “The average study time for the final study sample was about 19 hours, or a little over two hours a week.”

    STUDY FINDING #3: “The Babbel app works similarly well for people with different gender, age, native language, education, employment status, etc.”

    Learning a language is aboutspeakinga language, and with the help of Babbel, our novice challenge participants were able to start having conversations in just three weeks’ time, proving that Babbel is, indeed, the shortest path to a real-life conversation.

    【1】How does the writer recommend Babbel to readers?

    A.By listing research findings.

    B.By introducing some of its contents.

    C.By telling stories at the beginning.

    D.By comparing it with other apps.

    【2】What is the purpose of the last paragraph of the text?

    A.To introduce Babbel .

    B.To appreciate Babbel.

    C.To advertise Babbel.

    D.To analyze Babbel.

    【答案】

    【1】A

    【2】C

    【解析】

    本文为一篇说明文。主要介绍了Babbel被认为是学习语言最有效的方法之一，希望读者能够参与其中。

    【1】

    推理判断题。问作者是如何讲Babbel推荐给读者的。我们在阅读完文章之后我们发现，作者是以列举STUDY FINDING #1；STUDY FINDING #2；STUDY FINDING #3这三个研究成果向读者做介绍和推荐的。故此题选A。

    【2】

    推理判断题。根据文章最后一自然段中Learning a language is about speaking a language, and with the help of Babbel, our novice challenge participants were able to start having conversations in just three weeks’ time, proving that Babbel is, indeed, the shortest path to a real-life conversation.可知学习一门语言就是说一门语言，在Babbel的帮助下，我们的新手挑战参与者能够在短短三周的时间内开始对话，证明Babbel确实是通往现实生活对话的最短路径。所以这是号召读者参与到Babbel这个项目中来，属于广告性质。故此题选C。

    【题目】阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

    A few years ago, after a long morning of sightseeing in New York, my children and I took 【1】 breath on a park bench in Central Park.

    “Look.” my son said, 【2】 (point) to a nearby dustbin. That’s when we saw our first raccoon (浣熊). Quite at home in the big city, he paid us no attention, concentrating only on looking for a tasty lunch. He sorted through a few options before finding a wrapped (包着的) sandwich.

    【3】 (satisfy), he jumped down with it held carefully between his paws and 【4】 (casual) went to a spot on the path, not a meter from 【5】 we sat. The children were strongly attracted by the raccoon that provided 【6】 (good) entertainment for them, of course, including me, than any museum.

    He glanced at us perhaps 【7】 (make) sure that we weren’t about to take away his lunch. With his delicate 【8】 (finger), he tore up the plastic wrap until the half-eaten sandwich was uncovered. Then, he surprised us all. Instead of starting his food, he turned to a nearly small pool of rainwater and 【9】 (dip) his hands in. With an elegant air, he washed his hands underwater 【10】 a moment, and then cleaned his whiskers (胡须). After that, he turned back and started enjoying his meal like a gentleman.

    【题目】 Google has reported progress in its plan called “Project Loon” to provide Internet service to rural (农村的) areas without Internet connectivity around the world. The company has no plans to use traditional wiring, which can be costly. Instead the idea is to float (漂浮) huge balloons (气球) about 20 kilometers above the surface of the Earth.

    The balloons would act like telecommunications satellites, providing Internet service to the rural areas. The huge objects would ride air currents (气流) to either stay in place or move to another position high in the skies. At first, the idea was to have a large number of balloons circling the planet. One balloon would move away from an area while another arrived to ensure service in the affected areas. But the company said it has found a way to make balloons float over one area for a long period. In a report published online, the company said its software “can now send small teams of balloons over a specific area where people need Internet access.”

    The company said some of the balloons stayed in the same area for as long as three months. The company also said the discovery should speed up the project and reduce costs: “We’ll reduce the number of balloons we need and get greater value out of each one, they said. But Project Loon workers must still find ways to increase the life of the balloons. A British Broadeasting Corporation report said the longest service for a single balloon was 190 days.

    Google has also explored the idea of providing Internet service to rural areas using solar—powered drone aircraft (太阳能无人机). However, it gave up that project because of technological difficulties and high costs.

    【1】What’s the aim of the “Project Loon”?

    A.To float huge balloons above the rural areas.

    B.To help rural areas have access to the Internet.

    C.To increase Google’s income in the rural areas.

    D.To advertise Google’s new product in the rural areas.

    【2】Why wouldn’t Google use traditional wiring?

    A.It could be too expensive.

    B.It could put off the project.

    C.It couldn’t provide greater value.

    D.It couldn’t work for a long period

    【3】What do we know about the balloons?

    A.They must be used in a large number.

    B.They could provide service as long as 3 months.

    C.They’ll be sent up by solar-powered drone aircrafts.

    D.They would work like telecommunications satellites.

    【4】What is the passage mainly about?

    A.An unexpected discovery.

    B.Some unknown facts about balloons.

    C.Google’s using balloons to provide Internet service.

    D.The differences between the new and traditional wiring.

    【题目】请阅读下面文字，并按照要求用英语写一篇 150 词左右的文章。

    Dear editor,

    I was shocked by the news that neighbors of a German university protested to the government that some students often gathered and shouted at night, disturbing local residents. They demanded if the students were not dismissed, they would move out of the area.

    I want to ask those young people: When you were letting off screams, were you aware that you were damaging other people’s normal life?

    This doesn’t happen by chance. I often witness similar things in our country, too. For example, throwing waste water onto the streets and spitting in public places can frequently be seen. Some tourists litter casually or even carve their names on ancient scenic spots! Many young people are fond of jumping queues and never offer their seats to the elderly.

    All over the world, people are beginning to worry that civilized behavior is a thing of the past. In fact, civilized behavior can help bring trust from others and success in the fierce world market competition. Therefore, increasing the quality of citizens is becoming urgent.
