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 learn 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
Lingodeer 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.

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 5 0 miles away.
I’m black, so there’ s nowhere to get my hair done that doesn’ t involve another 5 0 - mile 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 seductive on those days when happiness requires too much energy. But 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.
2 5．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 a 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.

The rhino census ( 犀 牛 普 查 ) is out, bearing good news for the greater one-horned rhinos! In
September, 2 0 2 2 , the International Rhino Foundation ( IRF) documented in a report that there is a
baby boom in this population, representing an increase of 16 7 percent.
According to the report, there are a total of 4 , 0 1 4 greater one- horned rhinos living in India, Nepal,
and Bhutan. Although this is positive news, their IUCN ( International Union for Conservation of Nature)
汕头市金山中学 2022-2023 年度高三下学期适应性考试 英语试卷 第 2页，共 8页
status still remains vulnerable.
In India alone, the home to 7 0 percent of the world’s greater one-horned 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- horned rhino population. The park went from 4 3 0
square kilometers to 1 , 0 4 0 square kilometers. This gives more breeding areas for the rhinos, 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 1 0 0 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.
2 8．What contributes to the baby boom of one-horned 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-horned rhinos alone in the wild.
D ．Keeping visitors away from the Kaziringo National Park.
2 9．IRF helps protect the one-horned 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-horned rhinos.
C ．To introduce an endangered species— the greater one-horned rhinos.
D ．To indicate the decline of other species of rhino population.
