Four apps for students to learn English Quizlet Quizlet is a learning app---a computer program you use on your mobile device. It can help users build and test their knowledge of English words and terms. Quizlet has word sets for millions of subjects. And, it is quickly becoming a useful mobile tool for language learners. Socrative In Socrative, teachers can create timed learning games. In class, students compete individually or as part of a team against classmates. One game students love is called space Race. In this game, if a team answers a question correctly, their rocket moves forward. This team whose rocket gets to the end first wins. Also, teachers can use Socrative as an “exit ticket,” a question they can ask students about what they learned in that day’s class. Students write their answers on their mobile devices. Then, the teacher can show the answers on a shared video screen. QR Codes A QR Code is a kind of sign that a smartphone can read with its camera. When your phone camera reads a QR code, it takes you to a website, image, video or anything you want to share. For example, one will take you to the VOA Learning English website.

Natalie Trayling is a famous street artist in Melbourne. At first, those who happened to pass by her and spare some change didn’t even realize what a musical genius was playing. The emotional tune was not only masterfully played but also composed by Natalie herself when she was only 14. Gradually, as long as she appears, people will stop, absorbed in her music. Her music makes you think about calmness, the good things in life, and never giving up. But what people do not know is that behind the beautiful music of the old woman, it is full of bitterness. At the age of 12, she won a music scholarship at Santa Maria College. At 15 she knocked back a scholarship to the Royal Academy of Music in London because her parents couldn’t pay non-tuition costs.

3D printing is becoming more and more popular. We are now able to create things we need very quickly and easily using 3D printers. But can you imagine printing food? Some scientists are trying to revolutionize the dining experience by doing this. They hope that having a 3D printer in the kitchen will be as common as the microwave oven or blender. Scientists say that it’ll be quite easy: you simply have to select a recipe and put the raw food ‘inks’ into the printer. You can also modify the instructions to make the food exactly how you want it. This means that it would be very quick and easy to create tasty and nutritious meals. Using 3D printers to create your meals would also be saving the environment. There would be less need for traditional growing, transporting and packaging processes as food production would be a lot more efficient. For example, alternative ingredients(原料) such as proteins from algae, beetroot leaves and insects could be converted into tasty products. Printing food could also help people who suffer from dysphasia (a swallowing disorder). They could program the printer to print softer versions of their favorite foods so that they would not have trouble in swallowing them. However, some people think that a future of 3D food printing would be a disaster. It could take away many jobs, including those fro growing, transporting and packaging food. Imagine a world where there was no need for farming or growing crops and the same tastes could be printed from a raw “food ink”. Likewise, traditional cafes and restaurants might lose business. Also, there are concerns about the nutritional value of printed food: is it really possible to be get the nutrients we need from food ?based inks and gels(凝胶)? What’s more , cooking and eating together with family and friends has long been a traditional and enjoyable activity. It is hard to imagine a world where the pleasure of cooking is dead and meals can be created at the touch of a button. 【小题1】Which of the following best describes 3D food printing? A. Quick and popular. B. Easy and efficient. C. Nutritious and tasty. D. Soft and convenient. 【小题2】Why do some think that 3D food printing would be a disaster? A. Traditional food would disappear. B. Many people could lose their jobs. C. It would affect the people’s health. D. We could all eat the same food. 【小题3】What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. 3D food printing will replace traditional cooking. B. The future of 3D food printing is uncertain. C. It would hurt our tradition of food culture. D. 3D food printing would be a failure. 【小题4】Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. 3D food “printing”: coming to the kitchen B. Can 3D printing create everything? C. 3D?printing food will be in fashion! D. The disadvantage of 3D food printing |

China has a very rich and brilliant tea culture. It is one of the most important parts of Chinese tradition. A small cup of tea contains the spirit and【小题1】(wise) of the Chinese people. It seems like the most【小题2】(enjoy) thing to drink a cup of tea on a quiet day. Just like coffee, tea grown in different areas【小题3】(have) different flavors. Some needs to be drunk with small and delicate tea cups, and some can【小题4】(drink) from a big bowl. Chinese people believe tea needs to be drunk quietly,【小题5】many of the tea shops are located in a corner of a Hutong, providing customers【小题6】a very quiet and comfortable environment---but the fast ---pace of life sometimes doesn’t allow that. So there are tea shop owners who, just【小题7】 Starbucks does, locate their shops in the downtown area to provide service for quick customers. Take Heytea as【小题8】example. It was just a small tea shop【小题9】(locate) in a small lane in a small city of Guangdong province in 2012. But in only 5 years, it【小题10】(expand) 83 stores over China, including big cities like Beijing.
