    The Best Language Learning Apps for 2023

    We test all the major apps for learning a language and here are our top picks for 2023.

    Rype

    Rype is an online marketplace where language students find teachers and then sign up for low-cost-courses. Because Rype offers tutoring and not classes, it's best for language learners who are not true beginners. Intermediate level speakers and higher will get the most out of Rype.

    Rosetta Stone

    It is one of the best software programs for learning a language, especially for beginners. It does well in introducing new words and basic grammar in a way that's interesting. Rosetta Stone also does an excellent job of helping you to learn and study for about 30 minutes per day with its wonderfully clear and structured lessons.

    Duolingo

    Duolingo is really great for all language students. There is no better free language learning app than Duolingo. What makes it so good? With the help of the strong content and the good design, you can pick up and practice for a few minutes per day or sit down for longer study sessions.

    Yabla

    Unlike most other language learning apps and services, Yabla takes a video-first method. Diving into Yabla's material is more like going to YouTube than opening a textbook. You learn by watching videos, some of which are in the style of a language learning lesson but many others are just interesting content—music videos, cooking segments, travel shows—in the language you're learning.

    (1)、Which of the four apps suits best for beginners?
    A、Rype. B、Rosetta Stone. C、Duolingo. D、Yabla.
    (2)、What is special about Yabla?
    A、It has cheap classes. B、It is a free language app. C、It introduces textbooks. D、It offers videos to learn.
    (3)、Where is this text probably taken from?
    A、A travel brochure. B、A wildlife website. C、A monthly magazine. D、A personal diary.

    On Sunday, Tigst Assefa of Ethiopia shocked the running world by breaking the women's world record for the marathon by over two minutes. Assefa finished the Berlin Marathon in just 2 hours, 11 minutes, and 53 seconds.

    But Assefa's record was far beyond what most people expected. After all, it was only her third time running a marathon.

    "I wanted to break the marathon world record," she said, "But I couldn't imagine that it would result in a time under 2:12."

    When Assefa was younger, she started by running short races, called sprints. Then she became a middle-distance runner, running the 800 meters (half mile) race. Her best time in the 800 meters was 1 minute and 59 seconds.

    Last March, she ran her first marathon. Then last September, she entered the Berlin Marathon. She won, and set a new women's record for the course, finishing in 2:15:37.

    This year, she ran almost four minutes faster than she did last year. In both races, Assefa ran faster in the second half of the race than she did in the first half.

    Her time of 2:11:53 was over two minutes faster than the old women's record (2:14:04), which was set in Chicago in 2019 by Brigid Kosgei of Kenya.

    When she finished the race, Assefa kneeled down and kissed the pavement before raising her arms in victory.

    Though Assefa made it look easy, she said winning the race "…was the result of hard work" Assefa was coached by Gemedu Dedefo, who has helped train many Ethiopian star runners.

    (1)、What is Assefa's latest record for the marathon?
    A、2:11:53. B、2:14:04. C、2:15:37. D、1:59:00.
    (2)、What does Assefa think of her victory?
    A、It is what she expected. B、It is a piece of cake for her. C、It is due to great effort. D、It is because of her coach.
    (3)、Which word best describes Tigst Assefa as a runner?
    A、Talented. B、Friendly. C、Humorous. D、Warm-hearted.
    (4)、Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
    A、Dedefo Helps to Train Many Star Runners B、Kosgei Holds the Women's Marathon Record C、Assefa Sets a Good Example to Other Runners D、Assefa Breaks the Women's Marathon Record

    On Monday, people across Kenya took part in the country's first national tree-planting holiday. The holiday was created by Kenya's president, William Ruto, to encourage people to plant trees as part of a plan to fight the climate crisis (危机).

    Kenya is famous for its beautiful forests and wildlife. But large areas of Kenya's forests have been cut down, either for the wood, to clear the land for farming, or both. And those trees would normally help take in carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas that's a major cause of the climate crisis.

    In early November, to help get Kenya's great tree-planting effort started, the government declared November 13 a holiday—National Tree Growing Day. To prepare for the day, the government got 150 million seedlings ready for planting.

    The government created a special app to help organize the tree planting. The app is called JazaMiti, which means "fill with trees" in Swahili. The app helps people collect trees, find places to plant, and record their efforts. The app will also help the government track how many trees have been planted in different areas around the country.

    People all over Kenya turned out in large numbers to take part in the holiday. Elizabeth Wathuti, who works to protect the environment, was very happy about the support that Kenyans showed for tree planting. But she pointed out that it would be very important to continue to take care of the trees as they grow. "Tree planting is just the beginning," she said.

    Many people were very excited about the tree-planting holiday. Some hope that it will happen every year.

    (1)、Why do people cut down trees in Kenya?
    A、To reduce the greenhouse gas. B、To get more land for water. C、To help with the climate crisis. D、To get more farm land or wood.
    (2)、What does the underlined word "seedlings" in paragraph 3 mean?
    A、Young trees. B、Bottles of water. C、Different rules. D、Planting apps.
    (3)、How can the app JazaMiti help with the tree planting?
    A、By showing the places to plant. B、By watering the trees around. C、By raising money for trees. D、By recording the number of people.
    (4)、What does Wathuti seem to express?
    A、The government should take care of the trees. B、There's still a long way to go for tree planting. C、Protecting the environment is of less importance. D、The tree-planting holiday should be held every year.

    A three-year nationwide action plan to better protect ancient covered bridges (廊桥) started on Monday in Taishun county, Wenzhou city in East China's Zhejiang province.

    Covered bridges not only serve as means of transportation and communication. They are also acting as places to rest and for leisurely gatherings, sites for making offerings and even market areas for trading.

    "Covered bridges are an important part of traditional Chinese culture, with a long history and rich diversity," said Huang Zi, a lead expert at the Zhejiang Ancient Architecture Design and Research Institute.

    But their largely wooden structures and the variety of roles they play make them easier to be damaged. In 2016, three ancient covered bridges in Taishun were destroyed by heavy rains during a typhoon. In 2020, a covered bridge first built during the Song Dynasty (960-1279) and most recently rebuilt in the 18th century in Wuyuan county, Jiangxi province, was destroyed by floodwaters. Not long ago, a 900-year-old covered bridge in Pingnan county, Fujian province, one of the longest in China, fell down in a fire at night in early August.

    Protective measures have already been put in place in areas with ancient covered bridges. It will be a long-term process, said Huang, and greater efforts should be made to keep that sustainable (可持续的). One key, according to Huang, is to involve people's concerns, needs and values in protecting the covered bridges.

    "More preservation knowledge should be communicated to people through related projects," he said.

    More relevantly, the protection of covered bridges should be combined with tourism. "When people come to visit, walk and have fun there, those old covered bridges can truly show their energy and liveliness," he said.

    (1)、What is paragraph 2 mainly about?
    A、Different means of transportation. B、The roles of covered bridges. C、Places to communicate and rest. D、Trading areas of covered bridges.
    (2)、How does the author develop paragraph 4?
    A、By making comparisons. B、By listing numbers. C、By giving examples. D、By telling stories.
    (3)、What is the key factor to sustainable protection according to Huang?
    A、Projects to build different bridges. B、Knowledge about the bridge history. C、Public attention and participation. D、Communication about different values.
    (4)、What can we infer about the covered bridges according to the passage?
    A、They were largely made of hard stones. B、The protective measures were not enough. C、The covered bridges in Taishun fell down in a fire. D、Tourism will do harm to their energy and liveliness.

    How to Prepare for an Earthquake

    An earthquake can be a very destructive natural disaster, particularly in the Pacific Rim region. After an earthquake, your home may be a mess and you might be left without a water supply or power.  By doing so, you may minimize the damage and injury in and around your home.

    ·Learn basic first aid.

    There are resources in your community to educate people on how to deal with first aid emergencies. 

    ·Write down and share emergency contact lists.

    This should include everyone in your home, office, etc.  In addition to normal contact information, ask each person to provide an emergency contact as well.

    A. Stay away from the shaking house.

    B. Practice "drop, cover and hold on".

    C. Then go over your plan on a regular basis.

    D. Therefore, you can turn to your family for help.

    E. You need to know how to get in touch with them.

    F. There are several things you can do to prepare for an earthquake.

    G. For example, your local Red Cross has classes teaching you the basic skills.

    Sometimes a stranger can greatly improve our day. A pleasant meeting with a stranger can comfort us when we were in trouble.

    Once, I experienced a severe turbulence (气流颠簸) on the flight to Boston. Because of that, I was extremely scared. Anxiety and fear filled my heart. All the people on the flight seemed nervous, except my seatmate, who looked friendly and calm. Then, I turned to the woman next to me and said, "Hey, would you mind chatting with me for a few minutes? I'm really nervous."

    "Sure. My name is Sue," the woman replied, smiling warmly. "What brings you to Boston?" I started to explain that I was on a business trip. Then the plane shook violently, and suddenly I said, "I might need to hold your hand too." Sue took my hand in both of hers, patted it, and held on tight.

    When Sue Pernick took my hand on that scary flight to Boston, I almost wept (哭泣) with comfort. She was so calm and made me less frightened—"Yep, this is a little trouble, but we'll be on the ground safely soon," she told me—that I asked her what she did for a living. "I'm a retired P.E. teacher and I coached women's volleyball," she said. Immediately, I could see what an awesome coach she must have been.

    Sue and I talked-about our families, our vacations, our love of the ocean—until the plane finally landed. Then the businessman sitting on the other side of her, who'd been silent the entire flight, remarked that he'd enjoyed our conversation. "It cleared my fear out," he said. "I was scared too. I wanted to hold Sue's hand!" When we said goodbye, I gave Sue a big hug and my e-mail address.

    注意:1. 续写词数应为150左右;2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

    A few days later, I received an e-mail.

    ……

    I decided to be a person like Sue.
