These days, students have great chances to get hold of learning applications to assist them in their
schoolwork. However, many of them tend to rely on these apps too much, especially using homework
helper apps. Instead of doing assignments on their own, idle students frequently capture English questions
or mathematical problems, upload them on these apps, and then copy the suggested answers as well as
solutions into their notebooks. The shortcoming is that these students can hardly understand what they are
writing down, which leaves them a big gap of knowledge.
Moreover, it’s very unfair for diligent students who burn the midnight oil to complete the tasks without
any help. Plus, depending on these apps is a double-edged sword because when teachers are suspicious of
cheating ones, they have many ways to examine whether students solve problems themselves or not. In
short, it is advisable that learning apps, Photomath, QANDA, to name but a few, should be used as a last
resort or by advanced learners who prefer finding out more various solutions to their problems.

A. The downsides of using homework helper apps.
B. The encouragement of using homework helper apps.
C. The positive impact of using homework helper apps.
D. The benefits of using homework helper apps.
27. According to the passage, who might not rely on homework helper apps?
A. Idle students. B. Intelligent students. C. Hard-working students. D. Lazy students.

I. Listen a short passage about Thomas Alva Edison and circle the correct answer . (1.0 point)
Thomas Alva Edison was born in Ohio in 1847. As a child, he received less than a year of formal
schooling, but was educated at home. His parents allowed him to set up a laboratory in their basement and
his mother gave him books about chemistry and electronics. Edison credits his mother as being ‘the
making’ of him.
In 1878, Thomas Edison began serious research into developing a practical incandescent lamp and on
October 14, 1878, Edison filed his first patent application for "Improvement In Electric Lights". In 1879
he created a successful incandescent light bulb. This was his hardest project – from 1877 to 1880, Edison
and his assistants tried around 3000 experiments to perfect their light bulb design. By the end of 1880,
Edison had produced a bulb that lasted 1500 hours. This discovery marked the beginning of commercially
manufactured light bulbs and in 1880, Thomas Edison’s company, Edison Electric Light Company began
marketing its new product.
II. Listen to the passage about Job at Jones Department Store
*Tapescript 2
A: Jones Department store, can I help you?
B: Yes, please. I saw your job advertisement in the newspaper. Can you tell me about it?
A: Certainly, we want a shop assistant to work in our women's department - selling coats. It's a small
department, but a busy one.
B: And what are the working hours?
A: Well, the shop opens at nine, but the assistants must start work at twenty to nine. They finished at three
thirty.
B: Is that every day of the week?
A: We are closed on Mondays and we don't need any more staff on Saturday or Sunday. The job is four
days a week from Tuesday to Friday.
B: And how much do assistants earn an hour?
A: At the moment, it's £5.27. I'm afraid we don't pay you for your lunch break.
B: That doesn't matter. I'd like the job.
A: Then you must send a letter to Mrs. Grable. That's G-R-A-B-L-E, before the end of the week.
B: Right, I'll do that. Thank you.
