In the age of smart phones, apps are like guiding stars: They can point you in the right direction for a hotel, list expenses, send postcards, and much more. When used together, these apps can be the basic travel tool, placing a wealth of information at your fingertips no matter where you are on the planet. U.S. News Travel has picked the essential travel apps, known for their utility and reliability. Best of all, they cost absolutely nothing.‎ Trip It ‎ Your Personal Travel Agent ‎ Be your own travel agent and plan every detail of your trip—from car rental to accommodating restaurants—with Trip It. You can make travel schedule by hand, or simply forward the email confirmations of your flight, rental car, train tickets, and hotels to plans.‎ Weather Free ‎ Your Go-To Meteorologist(气象学者)‎ ‎ Stop trying to explain the weather forecast on the evening news (particularly when it’s in a foreign language). The Weather Free app informs you (in English) of the climate in various locations. It features the local weather, and other key factors that will inform your decision about what to wear before stepping outside.‎ Goby ‎ Your Event Guru ‎ When you're in a foreign city, you sometimes look around and ask: Where are all the people? Goby has the answer. This app pinpoints the neighborhood hot spots (including museums, hotels, eateries, and more) in your neighborhood. But its true value comes in finding nearby events. You'll discover concerts, plays, and more right around the corner.‎ ‎1. What is the advantage of using travel apps picked by the U.S. News Travel?‎ A. They can solve any problem you come across. ‎ B. They reduce your travel budget.‎ C. They exercise your fingertips. ‎ D. They are reliable and free of charge.‎ ‎2. With the help of the travel apps used together, travelers can do the following things EXCEPT .‎ ‎ A. rent a car B. decide what to wear ‎ C. look for a friend while traveling D. find the nearby museums ‎ ‎3. Where are the readers likely to read the passage above?‎ ‎ A. In a geography textbook B. In a science and technology magazine ‎ ‎ C. On a popular website D. In a business report B Tim Richter and his wife, Linda, had taught for over 30 years near Buffalo, New York – he in computers, she in special education. “Teaching means everything to us,” Tim would say. In April 1998, he learned he would need a heart operation. It was the kind of news that leads to some serious thinking about life’s purpose.‎ Not long after the surgery, Tim saw a brochure describing Imagination Library, a program started by Dolly Parton’s foundation (基金会) that mailed a book every month to children from birth to age five in the singer’s hometown of Sevier, Tennessee. “I thought, maybe Linda and I could do something like this when we retire,” Tim recalls. He placed the brochure on his desk, “as a reminder.”‎ Five years later, now retired and with that brochure still on the desk, Tim clicked on imaginationlibrary.com. The program had been opened up to partners who could take advantage of book and postage discounts.‎ The quality of the books was of great concern to the Richters. Rather than sign up online, they went to Dollywood for a look-see. “We didn’t want to give the children rubbish,” says Linda. The books – reviewed each year by teachers, literacy specialists and Dollywood board members – included classics such as Ezra Jack Keats’s The Snowy Day and newer books like Anna Dewdney’s Llama Llama series.‎ Satisfied, the couple set up the Richter Family Foundation and got to work. Since 2004, they have shipped more than 12,200 books to preschoolers in their area. Megan Williams, a mother of four, is more than grateful: “This program introduces us to books I’ve never heard of.”‎ The Richters spend about ＄400 a month sending books to 200 children. “Some people sit there and wait to die,” says Tim. “Others get as busy as they can in the time they have left.”‎ 4. What did Tim want to do after learning about Imagination Library?‎ ‎ A. Give out brochures. B. Do something similar.‎ ‎ C. Write books for children D. Retire from being a teacher.‎ 5. According to the text, Dollly Parton is .‎ ‎ A. a well-known surgeon B. a mother of a four-year-old ‎ C. a singer born in Tennessee D. a best-selling ​author 6. Why did the Richters go to Dollywood?‎ ‎ A. To avoid signing up online.‎ ‎ B. To meet Dollywood board members.‎ ‎ C. To make sure the books were the newest.‎ ‎ D. To see if the books were of good quality.‎ 7. What can we learn from Tim’s words in the last paragraph?‎ ‎ A. He needs more money to help the children.‎ ‎ B. He wonders why some people are so busy.‎ ‎ C. He tries to save those waiting to die.‎ ‎ D. He considers his efforts worthwhile.‎ C ‎ Have you ever found yourself in this situation: You hear a song you used to sing when you were a child – a bit of nostalgia(怀旧) or “blast from the past,” as we say. But it is not a distant childhood memory. The words come back to you as clearly as when you sang them all those years ago. ‎ ‎ Researchers at the University of Edinburgh studied the relationship between music and remembering a foreign language. They found that remembering words in a song was the best way to remember even one of the most difficult languages.‎ ‎ Here is what they did. Researchers took 60 adults and randomly divided them into three groups of 20. Then they gave the groups three different types of “listen-and-repeat” learning conditions. Researchers had one group simply speak the words. They had the second group speak the words to a rhythm, or beat. And they asked the third group to sing the words.‎ ‎ All three groups studied words from the Hungarian language for 15 minutes. Then they took part in a series of language tests to see what they remembered.‎ ‎ Why Hungarian, you ask? Researchers said they chose Hungarian because not many people know the language. It does not share any roots with Germanic or Romance languages, such as Italian or Spanish. After the tests were over, the singers came out on top. The people who learned these new Hungarian words by singing them showed a higher overall performance. They did the best in four out of five of the tests. They also performed two times better than those who simply learned the words by speaking them.‎ ‎ Dr. Katie Overy says singing could lead to new ways to learn a foreign language. The brain likes to remember things when they are contained in a catchy 3, or memorable 4, tune 5.‎ Dr. Ludke said the findings could help those who struggle to learn foreign languages. On the University of Edinburgh’s website Dr. Ludke writes, “This study provides the first experimental evidence that a listen-and-repeat singing method can support foreign language learning, and opens the door for future research in this area.”‎ ‎8. The “song” mentioned in the first paragraph is intended to .‎ A. recall the past B. attract the readers ‎ C. introduce the topic D. compare the childhood with the present ‎9. According to the passage which language doesn’t share the same root with Germanic or Romance languages?‎ ‎ A. Hungarian B. Spanish C. Italian D. English ‎10. Based on the last two paragraphs, we can conclude that ‎ A. singing is the best way to learn a language.‎ B. the brain probably works best when the foreign language learners sing the words.‎ C. a listen-repeat method is very effective for any language learner.‎ D. Dr. Katie Overy and Dr. Ludke disagree with each other.‎ ‎11. In which situation can the finding of the research be applied?‎ ‎ A. A mother is going to teach her baby how to speak.‎ ‎ B. A child is going to have his first music lesson.‎ ‎ C. A student is going to learn a new English song.‎ D. An American is going to learn some Chinese.‎ D In my generation, most people assume. We assume that after getting a driver’s license, we should see a brand new car sitting in our driveway. We assume that the latest iPhone product should be in our hands as soon as something goes wrong with our old one. We also assume that college, being as expensive as it is, is given. However, what we don’t realize is that all of these things are very special privileges.‎ New cars, the latest technology and college fees are something that most people have in the place where I live. I’m not necessarily complaining about this. I live in a very fortunate area, and I try to remind myself of that every day.‎ Getting nice things is great, but sometimes, the competition that rules our lives gets too fierce. When someone else gets something great, you begin to think, “Why can’t I have that?” When everyone around you goes to college, you think that one day you will obviously do the same, because who doesn’t?‎ Even now, being almost done with my first year of college, I constantly see people who forget why we’re here, and how lucky we are to be on this campus. All of the distractions can surely keep you from doing your best, and they can easily make you forget your real purpose at college. The ‎ parties, friends, events, and overall social life can move you into a never-ending whirlpool (旋涡）of not doing schoolwork. Having fun is a part of life, but balance is the key when it comes to college.‎ Appreciation nowadays is slowly fading into a distant thought. We constantly forget how lucky we are to have the things and the life that we do. Surely, who doesn’t dream of a new car waiting for them, or that brand new iPhone that you see in all of the commercials? But wanting something is different from expecting it. Setting yourself up with an “I should get this” attitude will only push appreciation further away.‎ Appreciate what you have, but don’t expect what you don’t have. Say thank you to those who help and support you, and realize that whoever you are, you’re lucky in a great way.‎ ‎12. Which of the following may the author agree with?‎ A. Assuming should be forbidden. ‎ B. People of his generation are lazy.‎ C. What we have may be privileges. ‎ D. College education shouldn’t be expensive.‎ ‎13. What do we know about the author?‎ A. He is too poor to afford a new car. ‎ B. He is sure that everyone can go to college.‎ C. He is a fortunate second-year student. ‎ D. He is grateful for his college education.‎ ‎14. What does the author think of the social activities at college?‎ A. They should be balanced in students’ life. ‎ B. They are totally a waste of time and money.‎ C. They make students confused about their life. ‎ D. They are useful for students after graduation.‎ ‎15. According to the fifth paragraph, people nowadays .‎ A. don’t expect new cars or cell phones ‎ B. don’t seem to appreciate what they have C. always set up big goals in life ‎ D. often complain they are unlucky 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ ‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ Because of the Internet, people from different parts of the world can connect with one another, and get information about nearly everything in the world. 16 They spend so much time online, hardly realizing that much of it is actually wasted on something meaningless. For example, they waste much time playing games. Luckily there are many meaningful things you can do on the Internet.‎ • ‎ 17 These courses don’t require you to go out to attend classes. They can also be ‎ done from the comfort of your home. So they’re very convenient.‎ • If you’re a DIY person, you should check for online resources that help you with this thing. For questions like how to paint a room, or how to repair a broken car engine, all the answers can be found online. 18 From home decoration and repair to fashion and relationships, there are many sources that give you good advice.‎ • Practice your hobby on the Internet. Find the latest information on things that you are interested in. 19 In a word, the Internet has many good sources that allow you to practice your hobbies, and even earn out of them.‎ • Listen to your favorite songs, watch your favorite movies, or listen to speeches by inspirational speakers. Songs can help you feel relaxed. 20 And listening to inspirational speeches can make you feel good about yourself.‎ A. Take part in fun activities that you enjoy.‎ B. Movies can give you that much-needed break.‎ C. Take academic courses and improve your skills.‎ D. However, very few people make really good use of the Internet.‎ E. So, what type of productive things do you like to do on the Internet?‎ F. Therefore, there are so many websites from which we can gain knowledge.‎ G. Also you can use the Internet to find answers for questions related to daily life.‎ 二、完型填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ ‎ From an early age, Parker always said that he would be an astronaut when he grew up.
