文章大意:本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了四款能挽救你性命的应用程序。

6 . There really are apps for everything and some could end up saving your life.

WhatsApp

Lots of us use WhatsApp for messaging and calling, but do you know it also has a Live Location feature that can let a loved one know your whereabouts in case you’re in danger? You simply press the “+” key in a chat, select “Location”, and then press “Share Live Location”, which enables any participant in the chat to see your location in real time for the duration you choose.

SkinVision

You will have to pay for this digital skin check app, either on an ad hoc or a subscription basis, but with an estimated fifth of skin cancers going undiagnosed (未确诊的) during lockdown, it could be well worth it. You simply take a photo of any suspicious (可疑的) spot with your phone and you’ll then receive a risk indication from SkinVision’s clinically acknowledged technology within 30 seconds.

Stay Alive

With mental health problems on the increase, this prevention app could be extremely helpful. Developed by Grassroots, it offers a wealth of resources, ranging from strategies for staying grounded when you feel overwhelmed, to breathing exercises to direct links to national and local crisis resources.

St John Ambulance First Aid

An app like this is more useful for saving someone else’s life than your own, but arguably it’s a must-have on your smartphone. It gives advice in dealing with emergencies, including choking, allergic reactions and performing CPR. You don’t have to have an Internet connection in order to use it.

Here are healthy meals the whole family can enjoy, night after night.

文章大意:本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了伦敦的一种新杂志——电视杂志及其特点。
8 . 阅读下面材料,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

London has a new magazine. But it is not printed on paper. Everyone who has a television can receive it because it is     1     TV.

In order to read this magazine, each page of     2     is numbered, you have to have a decoder, and you only have to dial the number to choose which subject you want to read about. There is a wide choice that everything     3     (include) from cooking to the latest sports news.

    4     you want to read the news, the first thing you have to do is to turn to the index page which has     5     easy-to-remember page number, 100 for example. Then you start choosing what you want to read. The news is on pages 101 to 109 so you push out the numbers and the news appears     6     (write) across your screen. Perhaps you want to go out in the afternoon, so you press 181, and a brightly colored weather map appears on the screen. But the weather is terrible so you decide to go shopping and dial 162 for a list of the week's best bargains. But should you drive or take the train?     7    (answer) that question, you only have to press 189 for the traffic report. It is very simple to use. But probably the     8    (good) thing about the service is that it is being updated all the time. Journalists type new material     9    (direct) onto the screen and whole pages of the magazine     10     be replaced in minutes.
