As a language learning enthusiast, I've come up with the best apps for learning English from
the thousands of mobile apps out there.
Best for Pronunciation: ELSA Speak
ELSA Speak is probably the best mobile app around for helping you improve your English
pronunciation. The app's greatest strength is its intensive AI feedback, but ELSA also provides
mini-training sessions to really perfect your pronunciation. The AI analyzes your recordings based
on pronunciation, intonation and fluency then points out exactly which parts sound inaccurate.
Best for Immersing in English Videos: FluentU
FuentU is a language learning app that teaches you English through authentic videos like news
reports, movie scenes and interviews, with learner tools for all levels. Each clip has interactive
subtitles so if you're not sure what a word means, you can hover over it and get in explanation.
The app also gives video examples for each word so you can team vocabulary in context.
Best for Practical Topics: Babbel
Babbel has you learn and practice English with realistic conversations that surround things that
you're personally interested in. Lessons are short and consist of written and audio versions of the
grammar featured in the lessons. Then you are able to complete practice exercises to solidify your
understanding.
Best for Fun Beginner Lessons: Lingodeer
Lingodecr uses games and short exercises to teach beginner and intermediate English learners.
Lingodeer takes a gamified （ 游戏 化 的 ） approach to language learning with a goal-oriented
curriculum consisting of structured lessons and regular reviews. Lingodeer's lessons are arranged
according to themes, such as sports, weather, parts of the body and shopping.

B
I have lived in rural America for nine years, first in Michigan, where I got my PhD; then in
central Illinois and now in Indiana, where I am a professor. In a place where most people have
lived the whole of their lives, I feel like a stranger. There are few things I enjoy more than
complaining about my geographic isolation. I'm a vegetarian, so there's nowhere to go for a nice
dinner that isn't 50 miles away. I'm black, so there's nowhere to get my hair done that doesn't
involve another 50-miled drive. And the closest major airport is two hours away.
I recite these gripes（牢骚）to my friends. We all have grand ideas about what life would be
like if only we did that, or lived there. And there's this; I really don't intend to change most of the
things I complain about. Griping is seductiye on those days when happiness requires too much
energy. Bur it also makes me lose sight of the fact that I was born and grew up in Nebraska and
have lived most of my life in one of the plains states. When I go to the coasts, I am struck by how
unappealing big-city living can be.
While I may not love where I live, there are plenty of people who are proud to call this place
home. At a party with colleagues, I was going on about everything I couldn't stand in our town
when I noticed that they were silent and shifting uncomfortably. That moment forced a change in
me. Complaining may offer relief, but so does acceptance. There is no perfect life. By focusing on
gripes, I risk missing out on precious moments of appreciation. When I get home, I stand on my
balcony, look into the night sky and see the stars. I know that I have absolutely nothing to
complain about.
24．What causes the author's loneliness?
A．Dietary habits. B．Racial prejudice.
C．Educational differences. D．Identity confusion.
25．What does the underlined word "seductive" mean in paragraph 3?
A．Attractive. B．Temporary. C．Violent. D．Flexible.
26．How might the author feel about himself when the atmosphere changed at party?
A．Humbled. B．Angry. C．Touched. D．Calm.
27．What does the author realize in the end?
A．Every day is beautiful. B．When in Rome, do as the Romans do.
C．Human must value lives themselves. D．Don't be penny wise and pound foolish.
C
The rhino census（犀牛普查）is out, bearing good news for the greater one-horned rhinos! In
September, 2022, the International Rhino Foundation (IRF) documented in a report that there is a
baby boom in this population, representing an increase of 167 percent.
According to the report, there are a total of 4,014 greater one-homed rhinos living m India,
Nepal, and Bhutan. Although this is positive news, their IUCN (International Union for
Conservation of Nature) status still remains vulnerable.
In India alone, the home to 70 percent of the world's greater one-homed rhinos, there was an
increase of 274 rhinos since the last bi-annual census, according to the organization Rhino
Review.
An important reason for this baby boom is the fact that Assam, India, has enlarged Kaziringo
National Park, home to the world's largest one-homed rhino population. The park went from 430
square kilometers to 1,040 square kilometers. This gives more breeding areas for the things, and
they are closed to visitors during breeding season.
India and Nepal are also protecting the rhinos by enforcing wildlife crime laws. To reduce rhino
death by poaching（偷猎），the IRF donates vehicles and equipment, plus education including
guard training and crime investigation.
The IRF data for other rhino species is not as promising, although the greater one-horned
rhino numbers are encouraging for future conservation. According to the report, there is a decline
in Sumatran rhinos, Africa's white rhinos, while the Javan rhino population is stable and
threatened by loss of habitat.
The State of the Rhino report offers hope for these other species. Given that the greater one-
horned things were once close to extinction, with fewer than 100 living in the world, their
recovery is incredible. This demonstrates that there are solutions when organizations and people
work together. It is hoped that this successful rhino baby boom will affect other endangered
wildlife species around the globe.
28．What contributes to the baby boom of one-homed rhinos in Assam, India?
A．Extending the protected areas for rhinos.
B．Raising fund to set up more reserves for rhinos.
C．Leaving the one-homed rhinos alone in the wild.
D．Keeping visitors away from the Kaziringo National Park.
29．IRF helps protect the one-homed rhinos mainly by ．
A．Cooperating with other organizations.
B．Enhancing anti-poaching efforts.
C．Transferring the rhinos to other habitats.
D．Guarding the rhinos with new equipment.
30．What can we learn from the rhino report?
A．Rhinos are no longer a vulnerable species.
B．Rhinos will affect other wildlife in the world.
C．Everyone can play a role in protecting nature.
D．It is possible to protect other endangered species.
31．What is the purpose of this text?
A．To inform good news on the greater one-horned rhinos.
B．To show the measures of the greater one-homed rhinos.
C．To introduce an endangered species－the greater one-homed rhinos.
D．To indicate the decline of other species of rhino population.

The human brain is the most complex and poorly understood biological structure known to
man. Our human brain is relatively large for our body size and wrinkled in comparison to other
animals' brains. Across species, brain size and wrinkle number is related to intelligence.
University of Copenhagen researchers have made an incredible discovery seeking to learn more
about the mammalian（哺乳动物的）brain. A vital enzyme（酶），a special material, allows
brain signals to be transmitted or transported. The enzyme is randomly turning on and off, even
taking hours-long "breaks from work." These discoverie8 could have a significant impact on our
understanding of the brain and the development of medicines. The discovery is featured on the
cover of Nature.
Millions of neurons （ 神 经 元 ） are constantly communicating with one another, shaping
thoughts and memories and allowing us to move our bodies at will. Neurotransmitters are
transported from one neuron to another by a unique enzyme when two neurons meet to exchange a
message.
This process is necessary for neuronal communication as well as the survival of all complex
