All you need to know about German Tutor

Do you call yourselves language novices or beginners？ Whatever you like to call yourselves， we can enable you to speak a new language.

In order to put our money where our mouth is，we commissioned（委任） researchers from two universities in America to conduct a study that tested the effectiveness of our German Tutor app for German beginners in just two months. Then we challenged 15 employees to learn as much German as possible by using the app in just three weeks.

Here are three reasons why you should use German Tutor to learn a new language. 1.You will make great progress.

The study's findings： 85% of our participants were complete beginners to German. However， they learned the language faster than more advanced learners.

2.You don't need to spend a lot of time.

The study's findings：Our study drew a conclusion that participants only needed to study by using the German Tutor app for about two hours per week to improve their German by at least one college semester level，while the complete German beginners only needed a total time of 15 hours over two months to improve by one college semester level.

German Tutor challenge's findings：Our employees spent about 15 minutes a day on German Tutor during their three﹣week challenges. 3.You will enjoy learning with German Tutor.

The study's findings：An amazing 99% of the participants said that they wouldn't stop using German Tutor after the study， as it is easy to use and the sense of success can greatly motivate them to continue their learning.

18．（10分）From the very beginning of school we make books and reading a constant source of possible failure and public humiliation（丢脸）. When children are little，we make them read aloud，before the teacher and other children，so that we can be sure they \"know\" all the words they are reading. This means that when they don't know a word，they are going to make a mistake，right in front of everyone. After having taught fifth﹣grade classes for four years，I decided to try at all costs to rid them of their fear and dislike of books，and to get them to read oftener and more adventurously.

One day soon after school had started，I said to them，\"Now I'm going to say something about reading that you have probably never heard a teacher say before. I would like you to read a lot of books this year，but I want you to read them only for pleasure. I am not going to ask you questions to find out whether you understand the books or not. If you understand enough of a book to enjoy it and want to go on reading it，that's enough for me. Also I'm not going to ask you what words mean. \"

The children sat stunned and silent. Was this a teacher talking？One girl，who had just come to us from a school where she had had a very hard time，looked at me steadily for a long time after I had finished. Then，still looking at me， she said slowly and seriously， \"Mr. Holt， do you really mean that？\" I said just as seriously， \"I mean every word of it.\"

第6页（共40页）

During the spring she really astonished me. One day，she was reading at her desk. From a glimpse of the illustrations I thought I knew what the book was. I said to myself， \"It can't be，\" and went to take a closer look. Sure enough， she was reading Moby Dick（白鲸记），in edition with woodcuts. I said，\"Don't you find parts of it rather heavy going？\" She answered，\"Oh，sure，but I just skip over those parts and go on to the next good part. \"

This is exactly what reading should be and in school so seldom is﹣an exciting，joyous adventure. Find something， dive into it， take the good parts， skip the bad parts， get what you can out of it， go on to something else. How different is our mean﹣spirited， picky insistence that every child get every last little scrap of \"understanding\" that can be dug out of a book.

（1）According to the passage， children's fear and dislike of books may result from . A. being made to read too much B. reading little and thinking little C. reading often and adventurously D. being made to read aloud before others （2）The teacher told his students to read . A. for enjoyment B. for knowledge C. for a larger vocabulary D. for higher scores in exams

（3）Upon hearing the teacher's talk， the children probably felt that . A. it sounded stupid B. it was not surprising at all C. it sounded too good to be true

D. it was no different from other teachers' talk

（4）Which of the following statements about the girl is TRUE according to the passage？ A. She learned to appreciate some parts of the difficult books. B. She turned out to be a top student after coming to this school. C. She had a hard time finishing the required reading tasks.

第7页（共40页）

D. She skipped over those easy parts while reading. （5）From the teacher's point of view， .

A. children cannot tell good parts from bad parts while reading B. reading is never a pleasant and inspiring experience in school C. children should be left to decide what to read and how to read D. reading involves understanding every little piece of information 19．（8分）

Feel the Music

We've all heard of smart phones， but how about smart clothing？The CuteCircuit company has stepped up the technology beat and invented the SoundShirt， which was designed specifically for people who are deaf or hard of hearing. How does this incredible shirt work？

First，let's talk about a little science. People who have either all or some hearing loss don't actually listen to music the way that hearing people do，but they can feel it. Sound is made up of vibrations，called sound waves，which hearing people can hear through their ears with the help of the brain. What's really cool is that deaf people sense vibrations in the part of the brain that others use for hearing!

So how is this remarkable technology able to function？ First，CuteCircuit had to figure out a way to send signals to the body，kind of like how you can feel when your phone vibrates in silent mode. Those connections the body can feel are called haptics，a use of technology that simulates the senses of touch and motion. The SoundShirt has tiny sensors woven into the shirt to pick up sound and transfer signals to the brain and body.

To test this music﹣to﹣shirt﹣to﹣wearer's brain connection，CuteCircuit set microphones around the stage of a symphony orchestra. The shirt's computer system digitally received the sounds coming from the instruments. Then the sensors，working like little motors，changed the signals into vibrations and the shirt wearer's brain did the rest.

The SoundShirt lets people who are deaf or hard of hearing enjoy music in a unique way. The very deep musical sound，or pitch，of instruments like drums and basses vibrates in the lower part of the shirt. Higher pitched sounds from instruments like the flute or violin vibrate higher， around the neck and arms. As the music plays，the sensations combine while the brain

第8页（共40页）

gets to work putting together all the different vibrations，allowing the wearer to \"hear\" the concert.

You might think this innovation（创新）would look like something out of a science fiction movie，but in fact，these shirts are wireless! And the decorative laser﹣lined design on the shirt looks like an image of sound waves.

Technology's purpose is to help people and make life better. Think of all the amazing things designers， engineers， and producers of wearable tech will be able to do for humankind.

（1）What's the passage mainly about？

A.Deep musical sounds from drums vibrate in the lower part of the SoundShirt. B.The SoundShirt lets people who are deaf or hard of hearing enjoy music. C.Wearable technology like the SoundShirt is the wave of the future. D.CuteCircut tested the SoundShirt with a symphony orchestra.

（2）Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage？ A.The SoundShirt is made without any wires. B.Deaf people are unable to sense sound vibrations.

C.The shirt wearer's brain change sound signals into vibrations. D.The sounds from the flute vibrate in the lower part of the SoundShirt.

（3）What can be inferred about the SoundShirt described in the passage？ A.The SoundShirt works when the wearer is listening to a symphony orchestra. B.CuteCircuit is giving away its SoundShirts to those deaf or hard of hearing. C.The SoundShirt doesn't work without the power of the human brain. D.Before the SoundShirt， deaf people had no way of feeling sound. （4）The author probably wrote this passage to .

20．（12分）An Epidemic（流行病）of Depression？ Seligman is leading the charge in what might

第9页（共40页）

be called Happiness Revolution in psychology. Since World War Ⅱ， psychologists have focused on fixing what is broken﹣﹣﹣repairing psycholosis（精神病），and neurosis（神经衰弱）. Research has piles up steadily when it comes to looking at patients who are neurotic， while the happy or joyful people among us have received little scientific examination. When Seligman did a search to find academic articles about such \"positive psychology\" he found only 800 out of 70，000. \"Psychologists tend to be concerned with taking a negative 8 person，and helping him get to negative 2，\" said Seligman，a University of Pennsylvania psychology professor. \"My aim is to take a plus 2 person and boost him to a plus 6.\"

In the last 50 years，statistics have shown that we are less happy as a people. \"While our quality of life has increased dramatically over that time，and we've become richer，we're in an epidemic of depression，\" Seligman said. \"Depression is 10 times more common now，and life satisfaction rates are down as well.\" Seligman argues that the new science he writes about is shifting psychology's model away from its narrow﹣minded focus on pathology（病理学），victimology，and mental illness towards positive emotion，virtue and strength，and positive institutions that increase people's happiness. If you want to be happy，forget about winning the lottery，getting a nose job， or securing a raise. In his new book，Authentic Happiness，psychologist Martin Seligman argues that overall lifetime happiness is not the result of good genes，money，or even luck. Instead， he says we can boost our own happiness by making use of the strengths and traits that we already have， including kindness， originality， humor， optimism， and generosity. He has named the discipline \"Positive Psychology，\" arguing that we would be better off building on our own strengths rather than bemoaning， and hence， trying to repair， our weakness. By frequently calling upon their strengths， people can build up natural barriers against misfortune and negative emotions， he said.

To cultivate happiness， we must first find out our individual strengths and virtues. Next， apply the qualities in such a way as to enhance our happiness﹣generating system.

（1）Why could Seligman's work be called Happiness Revolution？ A.Because happy or joyful people among us also suffer from illness. B.Because psychology is the emotional characteristic of an individual.

C.Because psychology is the science that deals with mental processes and behavior.

第10页（共40页）

D.Because traditional research on psychology rarely concerns happy or joyful people.

（2）What does Seligman mean by saying \"take a plus 2 person and boost him to a plus 6\"？ A.We should focus on happy or joyful people.

B.The number of happy or joyful people will increase by 4. C.\"Positive psychology\" articles need to be published more. D.Happy people among us also need improve their mentality.

（3）According to the passage， traditional opinion of psychology is . A.encouraging B.optimistic C.subjective D.narrow﹣minded

（4）Martin Seligman argues that authentic happiness results from . A.good genes， money or luck B.positive mental status C.contented life D.a good job

（5）According to the passage， which of the statements might Martin Seligman support？ A.Promotion leads to true happiness. B.We rely on our strengths for happiness. C.Intelligent people are usually more satisfied. D.Mental illness should be the focus of psychology. （6）The main topic of the passage is . A.how we can cultivate our happiness B.why material goods can't boost people C.why we should cultivate our happiness

D.how complicated our happiness﹣generation system is 四、阅读表达：10分

21．（10分）Looking back over a twenty﹣year music career，I often feel a sense of wonder﹣﹣﹣not at what I have accomplished， but how I have chosen such a path. It would have been easy for me to stay on the family farm. However，rewarding as this existence was， it was

第11页（共40页）

somehow unfulfilling； my youthful imagination，much to my parents' disappointment， often cast about for other， greater pursuits to occupy it. Still，growing up as I did in a household where the radio reported milk prices instead of Mozart，the thought of choosing a career in classical music went beyond even my wildest imagination.

Perhaps what started me down this unforeseen path was my fascination with other languages. I was learning Spanish at school；I was instantly drawn to German， Italian，and Yiddish words. As my interest in other language grew， so did my awareness that music is itself a language，just as capable of expressing and inspiring emotion or thought as the spoken word﹣﹣﹣sometimes even more so. When I listened to the piece of music The tempest，I gradually felt the overwhelming sense of a thunderstorm. I've read many accounts of severe weather， even seen them on TV， but few of them have been able to replicate（复制） not only the sensory experience of a thunderstorm，but also the emotional one the way this piece of music can.

I believe it was music's emotive influence that ultimately led me to pursue a career in music. Eventually，of course， music began to eclipse（使失色） the numerous other \"passions\" I had.

So what made my passion for music continue to burn？ For me，like may who find themselves adrift on a sea of uncertainty，it took a mentor（导师）to help me find my way to dry land. In my case， that mentor was the conductor of my high﹣school orchestra，Ms. Fenchurch. It was she who first taught me the joy of composition and creation，and helped me to realize that making music is more than just playing notes in a particular order，no matter how well it's done﹣﹣﹣it's about expression and perhaps more important，communication. Just like a language.

（1）What does the underline sentence in Paragraph 1 probably mean？（No more than 15 words）

（2）According to the author， what may lead him to the path of music？（No more than 6 words）

（3）Why does the author mention The tempest？

（4）What's the last paragraph mainly about？（No more than 10 words）

第12页（共40页）

（5）What do you think is the most important thing to achieve your dream？ And why？（No more than 20 words）五、书面表达：25分

aloud，before the teacher and other children，so that we can be sure they \"know\" all the words they are reading. This means that when they don't know a word，they are going to make a mistake，right in front of everyone.

20．（12分）An Epidemic（流行病）of Depression？ Seligman is leading the charge in what might be called Happiness Revolution in psychology. Since World War Ⅱ， psychologists have focused on fixing what is broken﹣﹣﹣repairing psycholosis（精神病），and neurosis（神经衰弱）. Research has piles up steadily when it comes to looking at patients who are neurotic， while the happy or joyful people among us have received little scientific examination. When Seligman did a search to find academic articles about such \"positive psychology\" he found only 800 out of 70，000. \"Psychologists tend to be concerned with taking a negative 8 person，and helping him get to negative 2，\" said Seligman，a University of Pennsylvania psychology professor. \"My aim is to take a plus 2 person and boost him to a plus 6.\"

第32页（共40页）

shifting psychology's model away from its narrow﹣minded focus on pathology（病理学），victimology，and mental illness towards positive emotion，virtue and strength，and positive institutions that increase people's happiness. If you want to be happy，forget about winning the lottery，getting a nose job， or securing a raise. In his new book，Authentic Happiness，psychologist Martin Seligman argues that overall lifetime happiness is not the result of good genes，money，or even luck. Instead， he says we can boost our own happiness by making use of the strengths and traits that we already have， including kindness， originality， humor， optimism， and generosity. He has named the discipline \"Positive Psychology，\" arguing that we would be better off building on our own strengths rather than bemoaning， and hence， trying to repair， our weakness. By frequently calling upon their strengths， people can build up natural barriers against misfortune and negative emotions， he said.

To cultivate happiness， we must first find out our individual strengths and virtues. Next， apply the qualities in such a way as to enhance our happiness﹣generating system.

（1）Why could Seligman's work be called Happiness Revolution？ D A.Because happy or joyful people among us also suffer from illness. B.Because psychology is the emotional characteristic of an individual.

C.Because psychology is the science that deals with mental processes and behavior. D.Because traditional research on psychology rarely concerns happy or joyful people.

（2）What does Seligman mean by saying \"take a plus 2 person and boost him to a plus 6\"？ D A.We should focus on happy or joyful people.

B.The number of happy or joyful people will increase by 4. C.\"Positive psychology\" articles need to be published more. D.Happy people among us also need improve their mentality.

（3）According to the passage， traditional opinion of psychology is D . A.encouraging B.optimistic C.subjective D.narrow﹣minded

（4）Martin Seligman argues that authentic happiness results from . A.good genes， money or luck B.positive mental status C.contented life D.a good job

（5）According to the passage， which of the statements might Martin Seligman support？ A.Promotion leads to true happiness. B.We rely on our strengths for happiness. C.Intelligent people are usually more satisfied. D.Mental illness should be the focus of psychology. （6）The main topic of the passage is A . A.how we can cultivate our happiness B.why material goods can't boost people C.why we should cultivate our happiness

D.how complicated our happiness﹣generation system is

【分析】本文是一篇说明文。我们能创造幸福吗？在过去的50年，人们的幸福感越来越低了。心理学教授Martin Seligman在他的新书阐述了我们应该依靠自己的优势来获得幸福的观点。

【解答】（1）D．细节理解题。根据文章第一段\"Research has piles up steadily when it comes to looking at patients who are neurotic， while the happy or joyful people among us have received little scientific examination. （有关神经症或精神失常患者的研究资料堆积如山，而幸福或快乐的人群几乎无人关注。）\"可知，Seligma的研究被称为幸福革命是因为传统的心理学研究很少涉及幸福或快乐的人。故选D.

（2）D．词句猜测题。根据文章第二段\"Psychologists tend to be concerned with taking a negative 8 person， and helping him get to negative 2，（心理学家热衷于把﹣8的人提高到﹣2，）\"和第三段\"In the last 50 years， statistics have shown that we are less happy as a people.（半个世纪以来，统计数字表明我们的国民不如以往快乐。）\"可知，Seligma说：\"而我的目标是把+2的人提升到+6。\"，这说明快乐的人需要变得更快乐，即Seligma认为快乐的人也需要改善他们的心态。故选D.

is shifting psychology's model away from its narrow﹣minded focus on pathology（病理学）， victimology， and mental illness towards positive emotion， virtue and strength， and positive institutions that increase people's happiness. （Seligman认为他著书阐述的新科学正在改变心理学的模式，使其从仅狭窄地注重病理学、受害心理学和精神症学的模式转变到关注能创造更多幸福的积极情感、品质、力量和积极机制。）\"可知，传统的心理学观点是狭隘的。A.encouraging鼓励性的；B.optimistic乐观的；C.subjective主观的；D.narrow﹣minded心胸狭隘的。故选D.

（4）B．细节理解题。根据文章第三段\"Instead， he says we can boost our own happiness by making use of the strengths and traits that we already have， including kindness， originality， humor， optimism， and generosity. He has named the discipline \"Positive Psychology，\" arguing that we would be better off building on our own strengths rather than bemoaning， and hence， trying to repair， our weakness. （相反，幸福靠的是自身的力量和特点，包括心地善良、富于创造、幽默风趣、性情乐观和大度宽容。他认为与其哀怨叹息不如扬长避短，并称此为\"积极心理学\"，认为我们最好是建立在自己的优势之上，而不是哀叹自己的弱点，从而试图弥补自己的弱点。）\"可知，Martin Seligman认为，真正的幸福源于积极的心理状态。故选B.

（5）B．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段\"To cultivate happiness， we must first find out our individual strengths and virtues. （要创造幸福，我们必须首先发现我们个人的优势和美德。）\"可知，Martin Seligman认为，我们依靠自己的优势来获得幸福。故选B. （6）A．主旨大意题。根据全文内容可知，文章主要介绍在过去的50年，人们的幸福感越来越低了。心理学教授Martin Seligman在他的新书阐述了我们应该依靠自己的优势来获得幸福的观点。所以用\"how we can cultivate our happiness.（如何创造我们的幸福。）\"作为文章标题最为合适。故选A.

Because I will try my best to do it but won't feel tired. 【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述作者回顾自己为什么走上音乐之路。【解答】（1）答案：I was born in a farmer's family rather than a musician's. or My family environment has nothing to do with music.

or I lived on a farm and had no chance to be exposed to music/ have no access to music. 词句猜测题。根据文章第一段画线句后句\"the thought of choosing a career in classical music went beyond even my wildest imagination.（所以选择古典音乐作为职业的想法甚至超出了我最狂野的想象。）\"可猜测画线句的意思是作者出生在一个农民家庭而不是一个音乐家的家庭，或者作者的家庭环境与音乐无关，或者作者住在农场，没有机会接触音乐。故答案为I was born in a farmer's family rather than a musician's. or My family environment has nothing to do with music. or I lived on a farm and had no chance to be exposed to music/ have no access to music.

（2）答案：The author's fascination with other languages.细节理解题。根据文章第二段\"As my interest in other language grew， so did my awareness that music is itself a language， just as capable of expressing and inspiring emotion or thought as the spoken word﹣﹣﹣sometimes even more so. （随着我对其他语言兴趣的增长，我也意识到音乐本身就是一种语言，它和口头语言一样能够表达和激发情感或思想﹣﹣有时甚至更强。）\"可知，作者对其他语言的迷恋引导他走上音乐之路。故答案为The author's fascination with other languages.

（3）答案：To suggest that music shows experiences more vividly. or to tell us the power/influence/ effect of music.

or to show music can express and inspire emotion or thought.

第37页（共40页）

推理判断题。根据文章第二段\"As my interest in other language grew， so did my awareness that music is itself a language， just as capable of expressing and inspiring emotion or thought as the spoken word﹣﹣﹣sometimes even more so. （随着我对其他语言兴趣的增长，我也意识到音乐本身就是一种语言，它和口头语言一样能够表达和激发情感或思想﹣﹣有时甚至更强。）\"和\"I've read many accounts of severe weather， even seen them on TV， but few of them have been able to replicate not only the sensory experience of a thunderstorm， but also the emotional one the way this piece of music can.（我读过很多关于恶劣天气的报道，甚至在电视上看到过，但很少有人能像这首乐曲一样，不仅能复制雷雨的感官体验，还能复制这首乐曲的情感体验。）\"可推断，作者提到《暴风雨》这首乐曲是表明音乐能更生动地展示体验，或者告诉我们音乐的力量/影响/效果，或者展示音乐可以表达和激发情感或思想。故答案为To suggest that music shows experiences more vividly. or to tell us the power/influence/ effect of music. or to show music can express and inspire emotion or thought. （4）答案：The influence of Ms. Fenchurch on the author.

主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段\"For me， like many who find themselves adrift on a sea of uncertainty， it took a mentor to help me find my way to dry land. In my case， that mentor was the conductor of my high﹣school orchestra， Ms.Fenchurch.（对我来说，就像许多人一样，发现自己漂泊在一片不确定的海洋中，需要一位导师帮助我找到通往陆地的道路。就我而言，那个导师是我高中管弦乐队的指挥，芬丘奇女士）\"及本段内容可知，最后一段主要介绍芬丘奇女士对作者的影响。故答案为The influence of Ms. Fenchurch on the author.

（5）开放性题。你认为实现梦想最重要的是什么？为什么？这是一道开放题，言之有理即可。For example：I think it is the interest . Because I will try my best to do it but won't feel tired.

【点评】提纲类写作是近年高考英语书面表达的热点题型，命题人通常以提纲作文的形式考查书信、报道、通知、日记、发言稿、对某人或某物的介绍、欢迎词等。提纲作文的选材范围很广，内容简单易懂，且多是考生熟悉的话题。这类题型的主要特点是要点明确，范围具体。但考生也容易受中文提纲的制约，将书面表达变成了翻译，造成语法结构和词汇上的单调，甚至写出结构不完整的句子。
