7、nch heels and bright clothing. Men wore expensive scents(香水)and creams that might wipe away the wrinkles (皱纹) on their faces. An uneasy feeling started to settle in my chest. I could deny it no longer; I was ashamed of my mother.We were in a high-class neighborhood-I knew that. We lived in a small,
8、overpriced apartment building at the edge of our county. Mom chose to move there because she knew the schools were good. I realized for the first time that we didnt belong there.I could see the heavy lines around moms eyes and mouth. She wore cheap clothes and worn-out shoes. Her eyes were tired fro

10、ng at her side.We were standing in the middle of a high-end store, and mom was holding a sweater. She said, “This will look good on you. Do you want it?” It was much too expensive, but I almost thoughtlessly answered “yes”. Then I took a closer look at the small, tired woman with a big smile and a s

This idea rings true for a mother cat who acted fast and sought out help when her kittens were in trouble. This mother cats quick thi
16、nking may have just saved her babies.In the urban district of Izmir in western Turkey, a cat walked into a regular hospital bolding a kitten in her mouth. As the mother cat moved through the hospital, people were surprised to see such a sight, but let her pass. The mother cat asked for help, crying
17、for a long time. She was familiar to the hospital staff, who had been leaving her food and water outside, but they were unaware that she had given birth to kittens.The mother cat was concerned for her young because they werent able to open their eyes. After the doctors looked at the kittens, they no
18、ticed that they were suffering from eye infections. One of the doctors recalls, “We consulted with vets (兽医) and gave medicine as described. When the kittens opened their eyes a short time later, we were excited.” Later, they were sent to an animal hospital for further care. The cats are now up for
19、adoption and will hopefully find loving forever homes.When it comes to mother cats and kittens, kittens completely depend on mothers for the first few months of their lives. Because they are blind and almost deaf until about two or three weeks old, the mother cat must protect them from any threat or
20、 danger. Without the mother cats help, the kittens may not make it to adulthood.As shown by the mother cat in Turkey, a mothers love and protection knows no bounds. Whether the mom is a human or a cat, mothers will always look out for their babies and make sure they are safe and healthy.8Why did the
21、 mother cat show up in the hospital?ATo beg for food.BTo get her babies treated.CTo express thanks.DTo give birth to her babies.9How did the doctors help the baby cat?AThey built them a home.BThey adopted all of them.CThey operated on them immediately.DThey gave them right medicine.10What makes newl

23、lar now and offer opportunities to learn vocabulary and practice grammar. But there has been a discussion about just how effective such apps can be.Among the most popular apps are Duolingo and Busuu. A previous research found positive results on the use of them. But it mainly concentrates on studies
24、 with learners who had signed up for language courses and these apps worked as an after-class support, so the results were not always reliable. A recent study of 4,095 Busuu users has been carried out to find out if users can actually learn a language with an app.Busuu provides learning materials fo
25、r 12 different languages. It offers special models where some contents are available for free while some contents are not, We find that its users are an even mix of men and women. More than half consider themselves to be at the beginner level as there is a decrease in users as their language levels
26、go up. Most people use the app because of personal interest, or because they want to study or live abroad. Females tend to use it less often but for longer periods of time than male users.Getting any feedback on Busuu depends on whether your answer is correct or not. While it is helpful, this is not
27、 the sort of feedback language teachers prefer, as it does not explain why the answer is right or wrong. In spite of this, feedback in the app is very highly rated.More than 92% of the people state that the app has met their expectations and 86% consider the app as very good or good. In fact, more t
28、han 80% of the users surveyed strongly agree that using the app has helped them improve their knowledge of the language they are learning.Besides, language learning apps also create an environment where mistakes are only known to the users, and this can address the performance anxiety that many lear
29、ners suffer from when asked to speak a foreign language. So language teachers should encourage their students to use them to do the grammar work, leaving precious class time for more language communication.12Why werent the results of the former research always dependable?ABecause it used out-of-date
30、 methods.BBecause it just focused on positive results.CBecause it was only carried out before class.DBecause it only considered users of a limited type.13What can we learn about the app Busuu from the text?AAll the contents are free to use.BIts used by more advanced learners.CMost users consider it

32、ective and satisfactory to language learners.CLanguage learning apps are very popular with most language teachers.DStudents should be required to use apps for homework after class.二、七选五It can be hard for one person to protect the environment by himself. If you teenagers want to do something, like st
33、opping pollution or protecting wildlife, you can gather likeminded people in an environmental club. 16 And with a good club, you and your friends can be up to the task.Choose a cause. Some good ideas might be something like, “Save the whales!” But nothing says you cant do more than one cause. 17 For
34、 example, you could work to save polar bears in November, plant trees in December, and stop global warming in January. 18 This can be as simple as “The Environmental Club” or as cool as “Team Environment”. You can also use some other words, such as green, environmental, friendly, and of course, some
35、thing that relates to your cause.Find a clubhouse. Now that you have your club, you must find a place where all the members can get together to discuss your projects. 19 If your parents allow it, you can choose your yard or even your living room as the place for your club meetings.Decide on jobs. Yo
36、u can work as an activity organizer, a project manager or the president who decides all the meeting times, new members, meeting places, activities and projects. Each person can have a different job. 20 And how? Often remind them of the same goal theyre working towards.AName your club.BGreat minds th
