21、Language learning apps are very popular 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 former research found positive results on the use of them. But it mainly concentrated on studies 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 for 12 different languages. It offers special models where some contents are ready for use 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 because there is a reduction in users as their language levels go up. Most people use the app because of personal interest, or because they want to study or live abroad. Female users are likely to use it less often but for longer periods of time than male users.

Feedback in the app is highly thought of. More than 92% of the users say that the app has met their expectations and 86%consider the app as very good or good. In fact, more than 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 nervousness that many learners 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.

【1】What’s the reason why the results of the former research weren’t always reliable?

A．It only considered users of a limited kind.

B．It just focused on positive results.

C．It was only carried out before class.

D．It used out-of-date methods.

【2】What can we learn about the app Busuu from the text?

A．It’s used by more advanced learners.

B．All the contents are free to use.

C．Most users consider it satisfying.

D．It’s more popular with female learners.

【3】The underlined word “address” in the last paragraph can be replaced by ______.

A．organise

B．solve

C．increase

D．practice

【4】What is the main idea of the text?

A．Language learning apps are very popular with most language teachers.

B．Students won’t suffer nervousness in learning languages by using Busuu.

C．Language learning apps are effective and satisfactory to language learners.

D．Students should be required to use apps for homework after class.

23、Most advertising in ancient times was word-of-mouth, that is, people liked something and told others about it. But even then, people advertised by putting inscriptions (题字) on walls, for example to display political slogans and to offer household goods for sale. Also, in Rome and Greece, in ancient times, it was common for people to use papyrus, a kind of paper, to advertise things they had lost or found. The tradition of wall or rock painting as a way of advertising goods is even more ancient.

Painting developed in the 15th and 16th centuries, and this increased the forms of advertising. Handbills — small printed notices and advertisements — became common. Then, by the 17th century, advertisements started appearing in weekly newspapers in England. In the 19th century mail order catalogues appeared, promoting all kinds of goods.

Finally, advertisements in the 1960s became more creative and more interesting. Also, they began to draw attention to the ‘unique selling points', the USPs of products. These are the qualities that make a product different from competitors' products.

These days, advertisers have come up with new ways of promoting their products. For example, product placement is now common. This is advertising in TV programmes or films by having a character, preferably played by a famous actor, use a particular product. For example, Tom Cruise's character in the movie, Minority Report, had a computer with the Nokia logo (商标) on it, and his watch was clearly made by Bulgari.

TV commercials are a very effective medium for advertisers, though these are very expensive. If an organization wants to have a 30-second TV advert during the annual Superbowl game in the United States, they have to pay about $2.5 million.

Perhaps the most interesting development is the use of famous personalities to endorse (代言)   a product. The basketball player, Michael Jordan, endorsed Nike products and wore them while playing.

Getting well-known personalities to endorse a product can be very expensive, but endorsements certainly increase a product's sales, especially if the personality has a positive image in the eyes of the public.

【1】What is Paragraph 1 mainly about?

A. The influence of advertising.

B. The development of advertising.

C. Ways of advertising in ancient times.

D. Types of product advertising in ancient times.

【2】Which of the following is TRUE about advertisements in the 1960s?

A. They were complicated and entertaining.

B. They contained quite a lot of information.

C. They were mainly shown in TV programmes.

D. They focused on the special features of products.

【3】In product placement, advertisers tend to use          .

A. cartoon characters.   B. intelligent people.

C. fictional characters.   D. popular actors or actresses.

【4】What is the benefit of endorsements?

A. They are not expensive.   B. They are fairly interesting.

C. They promote product sales.   D. They pass on positive messages.
