2．I'm a strong believer that learning different languages makes you look incredibly good when you're in a foreign country and can understand and speak the language.The list below is 4 apps that will help you learn a foreign language!You can download them for free.
Babbel – Learn Languages
Babbel is an excellent language tool to help you progress step by step with learning a new language.It helps you learn grammar along the way as you work your way through the tasks and assignments.You need to pay a monthly subscription（定金），but this will still be cheaper than taking physical lessons with a tutor!
Duolingo：Learn Languages Free
The app has many languages to choose from and will work through the basics all the way to advanced words and sentences.It's all completely free too!It's incredibly well designed，looks great and will help you learn，remember and progress with just a little bit of time every day.
Tandem：Language Exchange
Rather than have you work through tasks and memorize different things，the app lets you match with people who share your interests but speak the language you want to learn.You can then have text，voice and video conversations with people who want to learn your native language，and in return you learn theirs，all by simply communicating with each other.It's a great way to learn with only ＄1 a day.

3．Almost all calligraphy（書法）lovers agree that writing characters with a brush and ink on straw paper offers a way to communicate with not only history and culture，but also oneself.But now Chinese character handwriting is under threat from computers and mobile phones.
A college graduate looking for a job was reportedly turned down by a company because he wrote 24 characters incorrectly in a 400-character handwritten resume.A survey by HorizonKey，covering people from 12 major cities in China，found that nearly one third of those interviewed often experience "character amnesia（遺忘）"，with 94 percent saying this is a problem for them.
The main reason is that most Chinese rely too much on the pinyin-based Chinese language input method，which is replacing the tradition of writing characters stroke（筆畫）by stroke.The software will conveniently choose the right characters according to the context or word frequency，as there are dozens of characters with the same pronunciation in Chinese.
Education is another problem.In college，most homework and papers are printed out，instead of hjye.aiwritten.And few teachers use chalk and blackboards，with Microsoft's PowerPoint the most-often used software to teach knowledge to students.
The number of electronic devices in the classroom is thought to be another reason why students are easily satisfied with just a poor knowledge of the Chinese language and characters.It is quicker to look up a character in an electronic dictionary，but traditional printed dictionaries offer more detailed information on the usage and meaning of the characters.Students pay more attention to remembering a character's pronunciation，but not the other knowledge related to it，which e-dictionaries rarely provide.
Another worry is the "pollution" of Chinese characters by Internet language.Young people regard using Internet language as cool and fashionable.After they learn to use these expressions，they automatically include them in their writing.
（1）With the example of a college graduate，the author shows.
A．that practicing can improve writing
B．why certain people are poor writers
C．that there are differences in students' writing
D．why Chinese character handwriting is in great danger
（2）By saying "...those interviewed often experience 'character amnesia（遺忘）'"，the writer means those interviewed.
A．a(chǎn)re not good at handwriting
B．can't write characters accurately
C．show no interest in handwriting
D．find jobs much more difficultly
（3）What phenomenon is described in Paragraph 5？
A．Dependence on electronic devices.
B．Advantages of electronic dictionaries.
C．Mastery of knowledge of the characters.
D．Disadvantages of published dictionaries.
（4）What's the writer's attitude towards the Internet language？
A．Favorable.
B．Uncaring.
C．Disapproving.
D．Friendly.組卷：9引用：6難度：0.6 -
4．Many travelers are familiar with the UNESCO's World Heritage List （世界遺產(chǎn)名錄） However，less is known about the organization's List of World Heritage in Danger.It currently specifies 53 World Heritage sites under threat of "serious and specific dangers" due to factors such as climate change，armed conflict，and development pressures.The accelerated degeneration（退化） of these cultural treasures is a reality that should concern the world，since the younger generation may not have the opportunity to visit them.
For this reason，insurance company Budget Direct，and Neo Mam Studios，a creative studio based in the UK，have started a project，creating a series of GIFs to repair World Heritage sites and demonstrate what these ruins would have looked like if they had been protected.
Drawing attention to sites at risk，the project aims to give everyone the opportunity to visit these sites virtually （虛擬的）.It started with in-depth research around the sites on the List of World Heritage in Danger.Based on the results，the team made a selection according to two main criteria：First，they were man-made places.Second，they still had standing elements.Focusing on the selected sites，the team worked with architects Jelena Popovic and Keremcan Kirilmaz and industrial designer Erdem Batirbek to research and illustrate six of these legendary locations.
In this series of GIFs，six sites are digitally repaired to their former glory.They include Hatra in Iraq，Leptis Magna in Libya，Palmyra in Syria，Portobelo-San Lorenzo in Panama，Nan Madol in the Federated States of Micronesia as well as the Old City of Jerusalem and its Walls.Time does not stand still，and neither does technology.Thanks to these technologies，we can travel virtually，without leaving home，to those places that，whatever their future may be，will always be part of the collective memory.
（1）Why did the team develop the project GIFs？
A．They are curious about some World Heritage sites.
B．The List of World Heritage in Danger is not well-known.
C．The younger generation desire to visit World Heritage sites.
D．Young people may miss the chance to visit some World Heritage sites.
（2）What kind of endangered World Heritage sites could be chosen for this project？
A．Natural sites that had standing elements.
B．Man-made sites that had standing elements.
C．Natural sites that were destroyed completely.
D．Man-made sites that were destroyed completely.
（3）What can we learn from the last paragraph？
A．More sites on the list will be repaired.
B．The World Heritage sites will be in danger.
C．Technologies make virtually travelling more convenient.
D．Technologies help people visit World Heritage sites virtually.
（4）What is the passage mainly about？
A．An insurance company saving World Heritage Sites.
B．UNESCO protecting World Heritage Sites.
C．World Heritage Sites at risk of disappearing.
D．Endangered World Heritage Sites rebuilt in GIFs.組卷：2引用：2難度：0.5

5．Recent research shows that listening to music improves our health in surprising ways.If we take a music lesson or two，that musical training can help raise our IQs and even keep us sharp in old age. （1）
Music Reduces Pain
As Bob Marely once put it： "One good thing about music，when it hits you，you feel no pain." Research at Drexel University found that music reduced pain more than standard treatments in cancer patients.Other research showed that music can ease pain in patients. （2）
Music Keeps Your Brain Healthy in Old Age
A study with healthy older adults found that those with ten or more years of musical experience scored higher on cognitive （認(rèn)知的） tests than musicians with one to nine years of musical study. （3）"Since studying an instrument requires years of practice and learning，it may create the connections in the brain that could make up for cognitive decreases as we get older，" said lead researcher Brenda Hanna-Pladdy.
（4）
A study showed that students who listened to relaxing classical music for 45 minutes before turning in slept much better than students who listened to an audiobook or did nothing different from their normal routine.If you're having trouble sleeping，try listening to a little Mozart before bedtime.
Music Raises IQ and Academic Performance
（5）In one study，6-year-olds who took keyboard or singing lessons in small groups for 36 weeks had large increases in IQ and standardized educational test results than children who took either drama lessons or no lessons.To help children achieve academic excellence，encourage them to take music lessons.
A．Music Relaxes People
B．Music Helps You Sleep Better
C．The non-musicians scored the lowest.
D．Here are some amazing benefits of music.
E．Therefore，standard treatments are strongly advised by doctors.
F．But the selection needed to be either classical pieces or their choices.
G．Research shows that learning music predicts higher scores in children.組卷：3引用：2難度：0.5
