1.If you are currently learning English,I highly recommend you check out the apps below.
Quizlet
When learning English,you probably have to memorize a lot of words.If you want to grow your vocabulary as fast as possible,a flashcard app like Quizlet is a great shortcut.With Quizlet,you can create a set of flashcards with new English words you are trying to learn,and practice typing them out until you know them by heart.It's a simple concept,but it's highly effective.
Spotify
Spotify is not a language learning app.But chances are that you already use it or a similar app for listening to music or podcasts(播客),and one of the effective ways to study is combining something you already use into your existing habits.If Spotify is already on your phone,you can subscribe to some podcasts for English learners or download playlists of songs for learning English,or make your own.
Beelinguapp
Beelinguapp makes reading in English as convenient as possible.It shows you a text in your own language with the English translation side-by-side.Texts are short enough so that you can really dig into every word.They cover topics from fairytales,to science,to current news articles.There's even a "karaoke" feature where you can read along to audio,which helps you match up the English pronunciation with the English spellings.
Tandem
Tandem is a language exchange app which connects learners from all over the world.It can help you find a native English speaker who is trying to learn your native language,so you can swap language skills.If you only have five minutes to spare,you can simply exchange messages with a native English speaker.If you have more time,you can have a longer,digital language exchange by sharing voice notes,or using video chat.It's a great way to test your English skills out with real people.

2.Table tennis may not seem a reasonable option for someone with no arms—but Ibrahim Hamadtou doesn't believe in limits.The 48-year-old Egyptian Paralympian breaks the barrier by holding the paddle(球拍)in his mouth and using his right foot to serve the ball.
Hamadtou,who lost his arms in a train accident at the age of ten,was drawn to table tennis after being challenged by a friend. "I was once watching a match between two of my friends," Hamadtou explains. "They disagreed on a point.When I counted the point in favor of one of them,the other player told me, 'Mind your own business as you will never be able to play.' It was that statement that fired me up to decide to play table tennis."
It took Hamadtou three years to master the sport.He says the biggest challenge was figuring out the best way to control his body. "I was trying first to use the bat under the arm,and I also tried using other things,which weren't working so well.Finally,I tried using my mouth.It took me nearly a year of practice to get used to holding the paddle with my mouth and making the serve.With practice and playing regularly,this skill was improved."
The Egyptian's incredible talent came to light in 2014 when he was awarded the best Arab Athlete of the year.He won a silver medal at the 2016 African Championships,qualified for his first Paralympics in 2016 at 43,and then again for the 2020 Tokyo Games at 48.
The inspiring athlete says,"The disability is not in arms or legs but to give up in whatever you would like to do."

3.Perhaps you have ever heard the saying:Change is the only constant.Everyone,without doubt,goes through changes in their life,whether it is a physical state of aging or a mental state of emotional maturity.However,some are afraid to make the conscious decision to move or they think it's too late to have a fresh start.
I have a friend named Jack.At the age of 37,he is a Senior Manager at one of the Big Four.He has a great salary,owns his own apartment and enjoys the fine things in life,but not without the heavy burdens that his job brings.On the surface,it looks like he has got life figured out.Yet when I once asked if he was happy with his work,he answered that he some- times wished to quit his job to do something less stressful.But he'd become accustomed to this lifestyle and felt that it would be too late to give it up to achieve a new ambition.
For him,the risks are too high,so whether he can't abide his present job or not,he has to choose to suck it up.You might have come to a similar situation as Jack's or you might be a Jack.You're now facing a wall.No matter what it is—the stress of your job or the terrible feeling,it's time that you had to decide whether you'll tear down that wall or continue to let it enclose you.I suggest pushing back the boundaries and breaking the fixed patterns.Why do you feel it's too late to start over?That is simply because you're comparing yourself with others—younger or more successful jye.aidividuals.In fact,you should compare yourself with the older version of you.
Don't become that person who lets life pass by only to regret it when you are making your way into old age.Don't let your life plateau(停滯不前)and waste away in the daily chores.Don't give up the potential you still have hidden and be locked away by your current state.Now,you'd better bravely start going after the things you want to do,without abandoning your dreams,ambitions and responsibilities.
(1)What kind of people does Jack represent according to the author?
A.Those leading a happy life.
B.Those having an easeful career.
C.Those thinking it's too late to change.
D.Those having a high ambition to work.
(2)What does the underlined word "abide" in paragraph 3 mean?
A.Value.
B.Recommend.
C.Understand.
D.Tolerate.
(3)What does the author advise us not to do?
A.Let life stand still.
B.Enjoy the present job.
C.Have a small goal in life.
D.Consider ourselves as a failure.
(4)Which is the best title for the text?
A.Everyone Can Meet a Jack
B.Don't Try to Control Yourself
C.Never Think Change Is Too Late
D.You Should Make Alteration Earlier組卷:5引用:2難度:0.5

9.閱讀下面材料,根據(jù)其內(nèi)容和所給段落開頭語續(xù)寫兩段,使之構成一篇完整的短文。
Price of a Miracle Tess was an eight-year-old girl when she heard her mom and dad talking about her little brother,Andrew.All she knew was that he was very sick and they were completely out of money.
Only a very costly operation could save him now and it was looking like there was no one to lend them the money.She heard Dad say to her tearful mom with desperation, "Only a miracle can save him now."
Tess went to her bedroom and poured all the change she had saved out on the floor and counted it carefully:47 cents.She slipped out of home and made her way to Rexall's Drug Store.She waited patiently for the pharmacist to give her some attention but he was too busy at this moment.Finally,she took a quarter from her pocket and banged it on the glass counter.That did it ! "And what do you want?" the pharmacist asked in an annoyed tone of voice. "I'm talking to my brother from Chicago Medical University whom I haven't seen in ages," he said without waiting for a reply to his question.
"Well,I want to talk to you about my brother," Tess answered back in the same annoyed tone. "He's really,really sick and I want to buy a miracle."
"We don't sell miracles here,little girl.I'm sorry but I can't help you," the pharmacist said,softening a little. "Listen,I have the money to pay for it.If it isn't enough,I will get the rest.Just tell me how much it costs." Tess answered with a blind faith.
The pharmacist's brother was a well-dressed man.He stooped down and asked the little girl, "What kind of a miracle does your brother need?" "I don't know," Tess replied with her eyes welling up.
"I just know he's really sick and Mom says he needs an operation.But my dad can't pay for it,so I want to use my money."
注意:1.續(xù)寫詞數(shù)應為150左右;2.請按如下格式作答。
"How much do you have?" asked the man from Chicago.___________________
