Here are 4 free mobile apps that will help you do just that.Hello EnglishIt covers all the aspects of language learning, including vocabulary, translation, grammar, spellings, spoken and reading skills. It uses interactive games to teach different English lessons and offers new audiobooks, latest news, and books.

For beginners, the app focuses on 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.

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 and 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.1.What should you already understand to use Hello English?A.Good reading and writing skills.B.Basic listening and speaking tips.C.English letters and basic structures.D.Different English lessons and books.2.Which app is the best choice for an English beginner at first?A.Lingbe.B.Duolingo.C.HelloTalk.D.Hello English.3.What can you do on Lingbe?A.Read the latest news.B.Enjoy the interactive games.C.Practice your spoken English.D.Talk with native speakers in the flesh.BThree years ago Jenny Salgado, a Dominican shop assistant, moved to Highlandtown, a neighborhood of Baltimore. When she arrived, the shop she works in was one of only a few Spanish businesses. Now there are many more. “Its good now if you speak Spanish,” she smiles.Baltimore has been losing people for 60 years. To address this, its former mayor, Stephanie Rawlings Blake, wanted to make it the most immigrant-friendly city in the world. Its libraries provide Spanish-language exercise classes. To help those without enough money, the city is introducing micro-loans (小额贷款)which require no credit checks. City police would no longer routinely check the immigration status of citizens or enforce(强制执行) any federal immigration law unless required to. The then governor, Martin OMalley made it possible for illegal immigrants to get driving licenses. Such welcoming policies are spreading. Such cities as Cleveland, Dayton and Philadelphia all eagerly try to please immigrants. Rick Snyder, Governor of Michigan, has asked the federal government to offer 50,000 visas to people who agree to live in Detroit. His administration has made it easier for skilled migrants to get professional licenses.When a citys population falls, both tax receipts and services fall. Half-deserted neighborhoods breed (滋生)crime, driving yet more people to leave.No city has escaped from this vicious (恶性的) situation without attracting new residents, says Steve Tobocman of Global Detroit. Several studies suggest that when immigrants arrive, crime goes down, schools improve and shops open up. In Detroit, immigrants living near the tiny separate city of Hamtramck have formed local watches to guard against thieves. Their neighborhoods are not just safer, but they are also among the only places where it is easy to buy fresh vegetables instead of drugs and alcohol.But attracting new immigrants to the cities which need them very much is hard, argues Audrey Singer of the Brookings Institution. They care about the same things as everyone else: safe streets, good schools and jobs. Cities which have lost population for decades struggle with all of these.4.What does the underlined word “address” mean?A.Account for. B.Deal with.C.Get through to.D.Take away from.5.Which can best describe the situation mentioned in Paragraph 3?A.A constant matter. B.A dilemma.C.A vicious circle. D.A classic case.6.What is the topic of the fourth paragraph?A.The positive role immigrants play. B.Problems caused by immigrants.C.The living conditions of immigrants.D.Difficulties immigrants face in Detroit.7.Which statement may Audrey Singer agree with?A.There is no need to encourage such immigrant-friendly policies.B.Immigrants have higher expectations of a city than its locals.C.Attracting immigrants to cities losing people is difficult.D.Attracting immigrants helps a city become more and more powerful.CHeads up! Across the country, sports injuries are a safety concern for young athletes. Now, the American Medical Association (AMA) has a new set of guidelines aimed at protecting players from the danger of concussionsserious injuries caused by a blow to the head.“By raising awareness of the serious risks associated with concussions and ensuring that the appropriate guidelines are in place, we can reduce the number of young athletes who may return to the game too soon, which can put their health at further risk,” said AMA Board Member Jack Resneck Jr., M.D, in a statement.The policy recommends that young athletes who may have a concussion be taken off the field as soon as possible. Then, they are only to return to their sport with a doctors written approval. The policy also sets age-specific rules for health care professionals and athletic organizations in evaluating and caring for concussions.According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), a concussion is a type of traumatic (创伤) brain injury caused by a bump, blow, or jolt to the head or hit to the body that causes the head and brain to move rapidly back and forth. This type of movement can cause the brain to bounce around or twist inside the skull(颅骨). It can damage brain cells and create chemical changes in the brain.The CDC says that between 1.6 million and 3.8 million traumatic brain injuries caused by sports and recreation-related activities occur in the US every year. A study from the Center for Injury Research and Policy showed that as many as 40% of high school athletes return to playing before they should. The AMAs new guidelines should help to bring those numbers down.8.Why does the AMA set the new guidelines?A.To raise safety standards of sports.B.To protect athletes from concussions.C.To set rules for health care evaluation.D.To help players return to the game quickly.9.What should young athletes who may have a concussion do? A.Avoid using the head. B.Leave the field forever.C.Get treatment in time. D.Switch to another sport.10.What is Paragraph 4 mainly about? A.What a concussion is. B.What causes damage to brain cells.C.How the CDC works. D.How a concussion can be prevented.11.Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A.Rules for Safer Play B.Sports Injuries in the USC.Advice to Athletes D.New Policies for DoctorsDOne day your pocket might power your smartphone. Soon you may never have to worry about your smartphone running out of juice. Your clothing will simply power it back up for you. Thats the word from scientists at Chinas Chongqing and Jinan Universities in a study just published in the journal ACS Nano. Researchers have been hard at work during the last few years trying to create wearable energy, or clothes that can charge things. The assumption is simple. People today rely heavily upon devices such as smartphones and tablets. And theyre looking for ways to recharge these devices on the go. So if you could design clothing fabric that could make use of solar powerone of the most widely available and inexhaustible renewable energy sourcesyoud be able to charge your various devices with ease.Scientists have had some past success creating energy-harvesting fibers. But there was always one problem when they tried to fashion these threads into self-powered smart clothes: the fibers they designed got damaged during the clothing manufacturing process, namely during the weaving and cutting. The Chongqing and Jinan University scientists say theyve solved this problem because the energy-collecting and energy-storing threads they created are highly flexibleeach individual thread is easily bendable, and not simply the fabric as a whole.The teams sample textile can be fully charged to 1.2 volts in 17 seconds by exposure to sunlightenough voltage that your future smart T-shirt or smart dress might be able to power small electronics. Its durable, too; their research showed there was no descent in the fabric after 60 days. But dont worry that this means the fabric is similar to rough cloth. The scientists note their textile can be fashioned into numerous different patterns, and tailored (特制) into any designed shape, without affecting performance.12.What does the underlined phrase “running out of juice” in Paragraph 1 mean? A.Having some juice.B.Being lacking in energy. C.Being picked out of a drink. D.Having some water running out.13.Why could smart dress charge a phone?A.A solar cell is attached to the dress.B.The fabric of the textile contains current.C.The fabric of the textile is easily bendable.D.The fabric of the textile could collect and store the solar energy.14.What is the scientists attitude towards the scientific technology? A.Doubtful. B.Negative.C.Neutral. D.Optimistic. 15.This passage is written to . A.persuade readers to buy new clothesB.remind readers to wear smart clothesC.introduce new wearable energy to readersD.inform readers of the ways to use their devices第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Before applying for colleges, many students wonder whats the point of it. 16 College is a huge investment, not only of money, but also of many years of your life. No one should attend college without a very good reason. Some people go to college to earn more money. On average, people who obtain a Bachelors degree will earn 1 million dollars over the course of their lifetime more than people who dont attend college. 17 Holders of these degrees are suited to many high-paying jobs while those without degrees are not.  Some go for the experiences. 18 Students not only receive a traditional classroom education, but also learn a lot about the ways of the world. For many students, college is the first time they live away from home. This creates a great opportunity to meet different types of people and have many new experiences that make you a much wiser and better person. 19 For many people college is a great way to start the next step towards realizing a dream. It can help you break into a new career path or achieve expert status in your chosen field. However, there are also some people going to college because “my parents expect me to” or “I dont know what I want to do in my life”. 20 If you go without a true purpose, you can end up finding what you spend on it might never be worth it. A.Others seek after a dream.B.College life is very meaningful for everyone.C.This is an important question to ask yourself.D.Going to college is an amazing life experience.E.College students will be offered a large reward for their hard work at college.F.Those who have Masters, Doctors, and professional degrees do even better.G.If your reason for going to college is one of these, you should reconsider your motivations seriously.第三部分语言运用(共两节,满分30分)第一节(共15小题;每小题1分,满分15分)阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。(卫报)A letter to Mum and her mince pies (馅饼)When I was a little girl, you and I loved decorating the living room and Christmas tree.
