Best Language Learning Apps of 2024
Duolingo
学科网（北京）股份有限公司Duolingo encourages you to make a habit of practicing with a reward system and a
social component. You'll receive between one and five Lingots of app currency for each
day in which you meet your set goal, with which you can buy fun decorations in the
store. Meanwhile, the in-app social network encourages you to invite your friends to the
app and compare scores to see who studies the hardest.
Busuu
It is user-friendly and offers flexibility in the choice of the courses. You get to pick
where you'd like to begin in the course. The app teaches you vocabulary words and
phrases, presenting them both on their own and within sentences. As you progress through
the levels, it also evaluates your knowledge through quizzes to ensure you're learning effec-

sentences alongside words that sound similar in your language, which makes it easier to
remember. You might also come across multiple images with familiar objects overlaid with
foreign words, helping you make stronger connections.

A 13-year-old California boy has set out for Nepal to realize his dream of becoming
the youngest person to climb Mount Everest, the world's highest mountain. Jordan Romero
aims to reach the summits（顶峰） of the highest peaks on all seven continents. The idea
came to the teenager in 2005 when he was 9 and saw a school poster of the seven sum-
mits.
"I just want to show kids can also challenge themselves by doing something impossi-
ble, and more importantly the experience will shape me into a stronger man without worry-
ing about the unknown future, Romero said in a post on a website named after him.
Romero, a native of Big Bear Lake in San Bernardino County, stopped to visit friends
near Los Angeles on Monday before boarding a flight bound for Hong Kong. He and his
team members are expected to arrive in Asia on Tuesday. They will continue toward Kath-
mandu, the capital of Nepal, and from there set off for the Nepalese-Chinese border where
the Himalayas are located.
Mainly with the assistance and support of his parents, Romero already has climbed
five of the mountains on his list, including Alaska's Mount McKinley. Besides, with the aid
of his team members who had worked out a detailed plan, he became the youngest climber
of Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa's highest peak at 5, 895 meters, at the age of 10.
After climbing Everest, which kills considerable climbers almost every year, Romero is
to head to Antarctica this winter in an attempt to conquer Mount Vinson and complete his
seven-summit project by the end of the year. But, his friends are all thinking that there is
no need for him to do something irrelevant to school work.
Guides who have experience with Everest say Romero probably will be safe, as long
as his team pay close attention to how his body is reacting to low-oxygen conditions near
the peak. The current record holder for the youngest to climb Everest is Temba Tsheri of
Nepal who was 16 and lost five fingers during his 2001 ascent（登高） due to frostbite（冻
伤）.
24. What is the main purpose of Romero's challenge of climbing?
学科网（北京）股份有限公司A. To turn himself into a tougher man.
B. To observe the views on the summits.
C. To inspire kids to challenge themselves.
D. To make his childhood dream come true.
25. Which mountain is the most dangerous one according to the text?
A. Mount Vinson. B. Mount McKinley.
C. Mount Everest. D. Mount Kilimanjaro.
26. What can make Romero secure when climbing Mount Everest?
A. His team members figure out a detailed plan ahead of time.
B. His team observe his reaction to the low-oxygen conditions.
C. The experienced guides provide him with useful suggestions.
D. He is accompanied by his parents and can turn to them for help.
27. What is the best title of the text?
A. The Biggest Challenge for a Boy
B. A Boy and His Team Members
C. The Highest Mountain in the World
D. The Youngest to Climb Mount Everest
C
For thousands of years, humans have used names to communicate with one another.
We also give names to animals, especially ones we love, such as pets. Until now there has
been little evidence of animals naming one another, but a new study suggests that elephants
use specific noises to identify other elephants.
A few animals, including parrots and dolphins, have been known to use sounds that
are similar to names. Each dolphin invents a signature whistle that is unique to it, and
other members of its species communicate with it by imitating（模仿） this special call.
The new study, led by Michael Pardo of Colorado State University, shows that wild
African elephants use names in a way that is not just copying sounds and is much closer
to the way humans use names.
学科网（北京）股份有限公司For the study, the researchers recorded 625 sounds made by wild African elephants in
Kenya that they called “rumbles （隆隆声）". This is the most common type of call pro-
duced by elephants, and it can travel long distances-as far as 3. 7 miles. It takes place at a
very low frequency, which means humans can't hear it.
The researchers analyzed the sounds using computers and found that certain rumbles
were directed at specific elephants to get their attention. They found that all the elephants
in the herd used the identical call to get a particular elephant's attention-these calls were
not just nicknames used by one of the elephant's friends. Also, unlike the way dolphins
communicate, the rumbles were not imitations of the elephant they were trying to commu-
nicate with.
The researchers then played back some of the recorded rumbles to the elephants. They
found that elephants responded more to their own name than to other calls, coming toward
it more quickly or calling back faster. Caitlin O'Connell-Rodwell, an elephant expert, said,
"The study shows that elephants can still keep in touch with one another even across a
large area. " She told Live Science, “It allows them to spread out much further and still
have very close tabs（密切关注） on individuals. "
28. How can elephants recognize others according to the new study?
A. By employing certain sounds. B. By using a signature whistle.
C. By giving out specific smells. D. By adopting particular postures.
29. What can be inferred about Michael Pardo's research?
A. Its findings were not accepted by the public.
B. It asked researchers to analyze elephants' lives.
C. Its researchers needed to engage in outdoor work.
D. It revealed elephants' sounds are at a high frequency.
30. Why do elephants use the same call?
A. To get noticed by the herd.
B. To imitate other elephants.
C. To lead the way for other elephants.
D. To draw a specific elephant's attention.
31. Which of the following does Caitlin O'Connell-Rodwell agree with?
学科网（北京）股份有限公司A. Elephants only respond to their own names.
B. Elephants can walk very far without losing the way.
C. Rumbles can help elephants interact with each other.
D. Rumbles are imitations of the elephant they were communicating with.

Nearly 50 billion pieces of litter are thrown along US roadways and waterways, ac-
cording to a 2020 study by the non-profit Keep America Beautiful （KAB）. That estimate
includes more than 800 million pieces of fast-food packaging, 2. 6 billion food-packaging-
film items, and 207 million pieces of personal protective equipment, like masks and gloves.
Not all litter, however, is intentional. A large volume of litter also comes from unsecured
items that fall off the back of vehicles or out of trash receptacles（容器）.
To address the country's ongoing litter problem, some public libraries are creating kits
to help people clean up their neighborhoods.
"We want people to be involved in the community, says Samantha Hanchett, marketing
coordinator（协调者） at Thomas County Public Library System （TCPLS）. “Doing
something that benefits everyone, even though it's quite quiet, is really what a library does
all the time. "
The library system launched a litter clean-up program with Keep Thomas County
Beautiful （KTCB）, the local KAB chapter（地方分会）， in 2020. Actually, the chapter
had previously held group clean-up events and naturally inspired more individual or joint
efforts. As a result, KTCB partnered with the library to create kits for people in the library
to check out.
Each kit contains items such as trash bags, gloves, reflective vests, and a booklet with
guidance-lines and suggestions for where to clean up in the community. Litter kits are
housed at the library system's main branch in Thomasville, but people can request they be
sent to their local branch for pick-up.
Hanchett estimates that kits are checked out between 30 and 45 times each year, not-
ing that they are most popular with groups and grade school students. "People like the con-
venience of the kits because it's something they can do on their own time, "she says. "It's
学科网（北京）股份有限公司an elastic way of getting involved instead of having an appointed time in which you take
part in the activity. "
32. Why are the data mentioned in Paragraph 1?
A. To indicate the pressing litter issue in the US.
B. To show the people's habits of throwing litter.
C. To present convincing proof of environmental issues.
D. To urge people to preserve roadways and waterways.
33. What is the library always doing?
A. Trying to carry out something to benefit all.
B. Removing the litter by uniting common people.
C. Asking people to get involved in the community.
D. Doing some quiet things to advocate environmental protection.
34. What can we know about KTCB?
A. It created clean-up kits for people to buy.
B. It could stimulate people to borrow kits.
C. It used to launch similar clean-up projects.
D. It was good at holding litter clean-up programs.
35. Which of the following can replace "elastic" underlined in Paragraph 6?
A. Dull. B. Tense. C. Flexible. D. Entertaining.

In the fast-paced rhythm of modern life, the act of eating has often become a hurried
and mindless routine. 36 Mindful eating, rooted in ancient practices, offers a refresh-
ing alternative-a pathway to improved well-being and a deeper connection with our food.
The journey into mindful eating begins with the simple act of pausing. 37 Sit
comfortably, take a few deep breaths, and distance from electronic devices or work-related
materials. This pause sets the tone for a mindful eating experience, creating a space where
you can fully engage with the nourishment（养分） and the present moment.
学科网（北京）股份有限公司Rather than mindlessly consuming large quantities of food, use visual cues（提示，暗
示）， such as the size of your palm or a closed fist, to measure appropriate serving sizes.
38
As you eat, tune in to your body's fullness signals. Instead of sticking to external cues
or rigid meal schedules, let your body guide you. Don't forget to chew thoroughly. It sup-
ports the digestive process by breaking down food into smaller particles, making it easier for
your body to absorb nutrients. 39 Aim to chew each bite at least 20 times. By
adopting a more leisurely approach to meals, you invite a sense of relaxation into your din-
ing experience.
Among the focus on food, it's crucial to extend mindfulness to hydration（水合作用）.
Drinking water is an inseparable part of the eating experience. Before, during, and after
your meal, take moments to hydrate. Mindful hydration complements the act of eating, con-
tributing to overall well-being and ensuring that your body is adequately nourished and hy-
drated.
40 It becomes a mindfulness practice that fuels not only your body but also
your soul.
A. Common as it is, it is unhealthy.
B. Mindful eating goes beyond the act of consuming food.
C. This approach emphasized on the quantity rather than the quality of your food.
D. Before diving into your meal, take a moment to create a specific space for eating.
E. By dedicating time to eat without multitasking, you honour the food on your plate.
F. Portion awareness is not about restriction but about a balanced relationship with
food.
G. Additionally, it provides your brain with the time it needs to register feelings of
fullness.

unblinkingly （不眨眼地） for what seemed like forever. Then he said, “Grandma has

I then sat there 53 for a long time. At that moment, I had loved my grandma
more than I ever had before and then I 54 everything she did for me. Beyond that,

Tang suits（Tangzhuang） refer to a type of Chinese jackets. The word of Tang suit
56 （create） by the overseas Chinese people decades ago.
57 the most prosperous（繁荣的） and powerful dynasty in the history of
China, the Tang Empire （618-907）was so famous in the world that foreigners call the
overseas Chinese people "the Tang people", the places 58 they live “Chinatowns
（literally meaning Tang People Streets）"and the clothes they wear "Tang suits".
A Tang suit has two varieties in Chinese culture, which are strikingly different from
each other in style. The one that is familiar to us refers to the authentic （真正的） Tang-
era clothes 5 9 （originate）from Hanfu, which leaves an impression of comfort and
60 （elegant）. A typical design of a Tang suit employs the Chinese 61 （char-
acter）, such as fu （happiness） and shou （ longevity） to express good fortune and best
wishes, which is 6 2 （extreme）popular among the Chinese people owing to its cul-
tural significance.
As 63 unique part of traditional Chinese culture, Tang suits are worn by over-
seas Chinese people during the Spring Festival each year, attracting many foreigners to try
64 （they）out of curiosity. More and more young Chinese people are willing to wear
Tang suits instead of Western-style ones on their 6 5 （memory）occasions. The Chi-
nese TV presenters also prefer wearing Tang suits during TV shows, especially at Spring
Festival Galas.

“Late again, Mavis! How many times have I told you to come back in time to help
me cook dinner?" asked Mrs. Muntari.
"But, Mummy, I can't just walk out in the middle of a game!" protested Mavis, still
panting（喘气） after running all the way home.
"You shouldn't be playing the game in the first place, "Mrs. Muntari stopped cooking
and looked at Mavis.
"But, Mum, I want to play football. Why can't I? You never tell Adibe or Senzo not
to play football. I had to leave the game at half time and rush back so you wouldn't get
angry with me, " said Mavis.
"They are boys and you're not! It is as simple as that. Boys and girls have different
roles to play. I have 11 hungry mouths to feed and I need your help!"Mrs. Muntari tasted
the porridge and added some more water. "You're the oldest girl not working, so it is your
job to help me around the home. That is the way of our people. Now go and fry some
more chicken. Kulu had to help me since you were not here. She burnt her finger and was
still crying. I even had to ask your cousin from next door to come and help me. "
At the dinner table, Adibe and Senzo were excitedly talking about today's game, while
eating the chicken that Mavis had fried. They both agreed that Mavis scored in the first
学科网（北京）股份有限公司half with a power shot from halfway line. It was a great goal as their team was losing 1-0
at that time.
Dad came home then and told the boys that he saw news in the local paper about
football scouts（球探） from England visiting Ghana. These scouts had asked to be al-
lowed to visit various schools to look for players of the future. Adibe and Senzo looked at
each other and cheered, "Wow, I'm going to be like Essien!" and started arguing which
one would make it as a superstar.
