【先测词汇量,从你真正不会的地方开始】 打开仓鼠单词,先花两分钟测一测词汇量。不用从 when、what 重新刷起——测完直接把你放到合适的起点。 摸底只用选择题,从常见词往上探,找到你稳定卡住的位置就停,不计入学习进度,随时可以重测,也可以直接从头学。 【17 套词库,从小学一路到考研】 牛津 5000、中考核心词、高考 3500、高考真题高频、高考阅读高频、四级、六级、考研英语、雅思、托福、新概念、初中课标、高中课标、小学 PEP…… 一共 17 套,约 4.7 万词。每套词库都有自己的小动物陪你学,学完一套换一只。 【8 种题型,把「认识」练成「写得出来」】 · 认读:听音辨词、释义选择 · 语境:句中选义、听句选译、句中填空 · 产出:看中写英、听音拼写、拖拽组句 选择题会,不等于写得出来。仓鼠单词里一半以上的题要你动手拼写、开口听写,把被动词汇磨成主动词汇。产出题答对的加分也更高——写对一次,比选对一次值钱。 【按遗忘曲线复习,只复习该复习的】 每个单词都记着自己的正确率和分数: · 选择题答对 +10 分,写出答对 +15 分,答错 -5 分 · 正确率决定下次什么时候见面,分数决定见多深 · 做过的题数决定间隔上限,一次运气好不会把词锁一个月 学得扎实的词,会自动拉长到 7 天、16 天、30 天再见;总在错的词,下一轮立刻再来。弱词优先复习,但每轮都留着新词名额,不会因为欠账太多就再也学不到新东西。 【答错不批评,先教你,再考你】 新词答错、跳过或点「我不会」,隔两道题会插进一张「学习单词」卡片: 先听读音 → 在心里默拼 → 对照拼写 → 想中文意思 → 看例句和例句翻译 同一个词一轮只教一次,不打断你的节奏。复习词不会被打断,教学只发生在新词上。 【今天学了什么,日历上明明白白】 学习记录按天排成日历,点开任意一天可以看到: · 那天练过的每个词、释义、音标、词性 · 例句和例句翻译,还能直接跟读 · 一键生成听写练习,盖住中文默写 · 一键生成选择题复习,把当天学过的词再过一遍 【自制词库:把你的单词表变成一门课】 粘贴单词表,AI 帮你补全音标、释义、例句,还能生成例句朗读音频。教材生词表、课堂笔记、阅读里遇到的生词,都能变成自己的词库,最多创建 3 门。 【提醒你,但不用你操心】 设好时间,工作日定时提醒。提醒里带一道小题,点开顺手练两下就走。 【排行榜:和别人一起背】 按答对的题数排周榜和月榜。看着别人这周刷了几百题,你也不好意思只刷二十题。游客期间练的题,登录后也会算进去。 【学习计划自己定】 每组练几个词(5-40)、每天最多学几个新词(5-100)、隔几天复习一次(最多 8 档)——都能改。默认每组 20 词、每天 40 个新词、1/3/7/16/30 天五档复习。 【音色也能挑】 16 种朗读音色,美音英音都有,还有童声;语速可以调到更慢,适合刚起步的时候。答对、答错的音效想关就关。深色模式、iPad 大屏也都支持。 【不注册也能练】 下载就能用,不用先填一堆资料。想跨设备同步、上排行榜、做自制词库,再花十秒注册一个账号就行。 ——— 【会员与订阅】 免费用户可体验基础练习。开通会员可享: · 无限答题:不受免费题量限制 · 自制词库:粘贴单词,生成专属词库 · 钻石礼包:开通即送钻石,可在账号内共用 关于连续包月会员:确认购买后,费用将从您的 Apple ID 账户中扣除。订阅会自动续订,除非您在当前订阅期结束前至少 24 小时关闭自动续订。系统将在当前订阅期结束前 24 小时内向您的账户收取续订费用,并说明续订价格。您可以在购买后前往 Apple ID 账户设置中管理或取消订阅。若提供免费试用期,未使用的部分将在您购买该订阅时失效。 隐私政策:https://qiaoqiaoengapp.word19.com/hamster/privacy 使用条款(EULA):https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ 有建议或遇到问题?App 内「我的 - 意见反馈」直接告诉我们。
