Educational technology such as apps can help students with time management, organization skills, study skills, homework and more. Below is a list of apps for college students recommended by educational technology experts. The needs of individual students differ and experts suggest that students try out several apps to find the right one. Unless costs are noted in the app descriptions below, these learning tools are free to users:
Blackboard App. A popular learning management system, Blackboard is used at many colleges across the U.S. It allows students to get coursework for online classes or in-person classes. Students can view course content, complete assignments and tests, view grades and more.
Duolingo. Advertising itself as “the world’s best way to learn a language,” Duolingo offers lessons in 35-plus languages, helping users with speaking, reading, listening, writing, grammar and vocabulary. Duolingo offers both free and paid versions, the latter with an ad-free experience and offline access to lessons.
Evernote. A note-taking and task-management system that offers the ability to sync across devices. Evernote allows users to create to-do lists, save webpages and change documents into a digital form via a device’s camera. Evernote is free, though an advanced version with more features costs $7.99 a month or $69.99 a year.

Five years ago, Chinese skater Wu Dajing introduced himself to the skating world by winning a silver medal at the Sochi Olympic Winter Games. At Pyeong Chang Olympics, Wu not only returned, but also made history.
On Feb 22th, 2018, Wu won the gold medal in the men’s short-track 500-metre race. He set a new world record with a time of 39.584 seconds. He also became the first Chinese man to take home an Olympic short-track gold medal. BBC said Wu’s win was “flawless”, because he was much faster than all of the other skaters.
“I didn’t give them a chance and I kept my speed from the start,” he told the media after the match.
But China’s short-track teams didn’t do well in general at the Games. Chinese skaters in the women’s 500 metres, 3000-metre relay and men’s 1500 metres all failed to take home the gold. Wu was China’s biggest hope, which put a lot of pressure on him. But he proved himself with his great performance.
Wu is now known as a highly talented skater. But things were not always that way. When Wu joined the national team in 2010, he was seen as almost “nothing” compared to gifted skaters like Zhou Yang and Fan Kexin, as his coaches said at the time. Their comments made him quite upset. But as the saying goes. “Winners never quit (放弃) and quitters never win”. Wu didn’t want to give up and worked as hard as he could. He practiced skating all year round. He even didn’t return to his hometown for the holidays for 10 years. “I believe in myself.” he told the media after his match at the Olympics.
24．People began to know Wu Dajing by the time he .
A．won the second place at the Sochi Olympic Winter Games
B．won a gold medal at the Sochi Olympic Winter Games
C．won a gold medal at Pycong Chang Olympic Winter Games
D．entered the Pycong Chang Olympic Winter Games
25．What does the underlined word “flawless” mean
A．common B．valuable C．perfect D．difficult
26．According to the passage, which of the following is RIGHT
A．Wu won a gold medal at the Sochi Olympic Winter Games four years ago.
B．Wu broke the world record with a time of 39.584 seconds and made history.
C．Wu’s coaches placed great hope on him when he joined the national team.
D．Chinese skaters in women’s 500 metres, 3000-metre relay took home the gold.
27．What does the last paragraph mainly tell us
A．The national team and coaches thought Wu as a talented skater all the way.
B．Wu kept on practicing skating all year round even in the holidays for 10 years.
C．Zhou Yang and Fan Kexin were more hard-working on skating than Wu Dajing.
D．It is the hardwork, confidence and strong will that have made Wu a winner.
C
Today’s amazing newspaper headline!
First family of four to walk to the South Pole wearing Mickey Mouse ears and clown’s shoes.
No, not really. It isn’t true. I invented it. But I wouldn’t be surprised to see it one day soon. It seems that every week someone becomes ”the first” or “the youngest” or “the oldest” or even “the first married couple” to do something that doesn’t seem to be very useful to the rest of humanity.
This year I’ve seen headlines saying “The youngest person to sail the Atlantic alone”, “The youngest Briton to climb Mount Everest”, and “The first people to fly around the world in a hot air balloon”. Why do they do it Don’t they have better things to do with their time and money And why should I be interested anyway
Human beings have already climbed the highest mountains, sailed across the oceans and flown around the world. People have already reached the most remote parts of our planet. Many of these things were done a long, long time ago. There just isn’t anything left to explore nowadays. I suppose there’s still a lot of the universe left, and the bottom of the oceans is still a bit of a mystery, but you need a lot of technology to explore areas like that. So, those people who feel the need for adventure can only do things that have been done before. So they have to try and do it in a new way, or be “the fastest” or “the youngest” or “the oldest” to do something that isn’t really new at all.
What is so great about climbing Mount Everest these days anyway It’s become a popular tourist trip. People pay thousands of dollars to be taken up the mountain by the local Sherpas, who lead the way and carry the bags. At any one time there are about a thousand people either climbing up or on their way back down. As a result, Everest is covered with rubbish and the Sherpas have to make special trips up the mountain to pick it up. The climbers are often inexperienced and when they get into trouble other people have to risk their lives to bring them down to safety. Helicopter crews have been killed trying to reach people who were stuck on the mountain.
In January 2003 a helicopter carrying two British men crashed into the sea near Antarctica. I’m not quite sure what they were trying to be “the first” or “the youngest” to do. The Chilean navy picked them up after a nine-hour rescue mission that cost tens of thousands of pounds, all paid for by the Chilean and British taxpayers.
Talking of taxpayers, many Australians are getting a bit fed up with record breakers. A lot of people trying to break sailing or rowing records get into trouble in the seas around Australia, so the Australian navy has to send ships to save them. There have been a lot of difficult, time-consuming rescue missions in recent years costing the Australian government millions of dollars. I suppose we can’t just leave them to drown, but personally, I think we should give the bill to the people who are rescued. Perhaps they would think twice about doing it if they had to pay for expensive insurance premiums (保费). Then I wouldn’t have to read about them in the newspapers either.
28．The writer invents the newspaper headline in paragraphs 1 & 2 to ________.
A．persuade readers of a new trend B．entertain readers with his humor
C．get readers interested in the topic D．remind readers of an important event
29．By saying “It’s become a popular tourist trip”, the writer means ________.
A．Mount Everest is now covered with a lot of rubbish
B．climbing Mount Everest has already lost its true meaning
C．it’s impossible to climb up Mountain Everest without help
D．people without experience may get in trouble or even danger
30．Which is the reason why many Australians dislike the record breakers
A．They have to pay for the costs of rescuing the record breakers.
B．The Australian navy was not something intended for rescue work.
C．The record breakers should pay for their insurance premiums themselves.
D．A great number of people try to break records in the seas around Australia.
31．Which of the following is the best title of the passage
A．It’s All Been Done Before B．Never Do Something New
C．You Are the Next Record Breaker D．Be Responsible for Your Adventures
D
Supporters of education technology have always imagined the bright future in the past twenty years: that by 2019, half of all middle school courses would be online; videos and practice apps could let students learn maths at their own speed; or that students with internet-connected computers could learn anything without the help of schools or teachers.
Then in 2020, 1 billion students around the world turned to online learning as the pandemic( 疫情) shut down schools. It was education technology’s big moment, but for many students and families, online learning has been a disappointment. When the world needs it most, why has education technology seemed so lackluster
Technology education has a long history, but throughout the history there have been two main challenges. The first is that most people depend on human connection to stay motivated. When a student fails to concentrate on what the teacher is saying in a classroom, the teacher can notice it and take action. But when the same thing happens while using an education technology product, no one can see it. Assessments(评价) are also a puters can show students standard answers. In some subjects, like maths, education technology can immediately tell whether the answer is right. But if we ask students to write a passage that explains why the Second World War broke out, computers can not assess the answer, part of which may be incorrect.
Education technology has long promised to change education, but for large areas of school learning, we don’t have online tools that are any better than printed books. For most teachers, the road to successful teaching with technology is not a total change to traditional education, but a slow process towards finding a right tool or way that is suitable for students.
32．What’s purpose of paragraph 1
A．To introduce the topic of the following text B．To show off the great past
C．To tell the future of education technology D．To share information of education
33．What does the underlined word “lackluster” probably mean
A．encouraging B．powerful C．unsatisfying D．necessary
34．According to the text, technology education is able to ________ .
A．help students to keep focused B．teach students communication skill
C．check the answers of all subjects D．provide students with correct answers
35．From the last paragraph, we can learn that teachers should________.
A．just look for new advanced tools for education
B．use technology education based on students’ needs
C．totally change the traditional teaching way
D．fight against the popularity of online learning

66． My Android
An Android Design Competition was held in our school. I’d like to have an Android designed like a real woman with rich facial expressions. I name her Lily.
She can help me clean the house, mop the floors, cook the dinner and deal with telephone calls. Apart from housework, it will be programmed to do homework without making mistakes. When I encounter some difficulties, I could turn to her for help. In a way, she plays an important role in my daily life.
67．The following Monday, Steve arrived at school earlier than usual because Miss White would give a quiz on the weekend homework. When the class bell rang, Miss White handed out the test papers. At first, Steve was so nervous that his throat was dry, and his palms were sweating. But when he saw the smile on her face, his heart was full of courage again. Steve began to focus on doing it. Time went by quickly, and it was time to hand in the test papers. To Miss White’s surprise, Steve was the first to hand in his paper.
After Miss White checked Steve’s test paper, she was in total shock! She found Steve finished all the questions and passed the test for the first time. She couldn’t wait to share the good news with Steve. When seeing the score on his paper, Steve couldn’t believe his eyes. He was wild with joy, tears of delight rolling down his cheeks. From that moment, nothing was the same for Steve. His grades got better and better and he was gradually willing to play with his classmates. It was Miss White’s care that made him confident in himself.

M: Jim was surprised when his high school class traveled to England to learn about the life of William Shakespeare, one of England’s most famous writers. He knew Shakespeare was born in a small town, but until he visited Stratford-upon-Ayon (埃文河畔斯特拉福德), Jim couldn’t really imagine the place where Shakespeare spent his childhood. During his visit, Jim learned that Shakespeare’s father was a glove maker. He also helped the city government in his spare time so his son could go to school for free. Sadly, when Shakespeare was only 15, his father died while traveling back from Cambridge. He had to leave school and could not go to university. But the tour guide told Jim’s class that it was good that Shakespeare did not go to college. Nobody taught him how to write his plays, so he was free to write in a new way. His plays were different and interesting, and he became famous in London. Now, his name is known all over the world.
