【題目】Happy, angry, amazed—these are some of the emotions we like to express these days when we’re sending a message on our smartphones! That’s why many of us now add little pictures to our texts to brighten up someone’s mobile screen but we’re also using them as a quick way of telling someone how we’re feeling. Yes, emojis (表情符號(hào)) have become a popular tool for communication.

The emoji was first invented in Japan in the late 1990s and the word “emoji” comes from the Japanese words for “picture” and “character”. The number of different images has greatly increased since then and now we have a picture for nearly every mood or situation.

Why are emojis widely used today? Professor Vyv Evans says, “Increasingly, what we’re finding is that digital communication is replacing face-to-face talk in some ways. One of the reasons why emojis are so interesting is that they really do enable us to express our emotional selves much more effectively.”

Another advantage of emojis is that they are an international language—they don’t use words but tell a message with pictures so they can be easily understood whatever your native language is.

But as linguist (語(yǔ)言學(xué)家) Neil Cohn says, “To many, emojis are an exciting evolution (進(jìn)化) of the way we communicate; but to others, they are linguistic Armageddon.” It does show by using emojis, there is a lot more to our communication than words alone, but does this also mean that the traditional writing will die out one day?

【1】What is implied(暗示) in Paragraph 2?

A. The emoji was first invented in Japan.

B. The word “emoji” only means “picture” and “character”.

C. More and more pictures are used to express our mood today.

D. The number of emoji images will increase rapidly in the future.

【2】Why do people use emojis so widely?

A. Emojis can never be misunderstood.

B. Emojis are similar to some native languages.

C. Emojis make us communicate more effectively.

D. Emojis can replace face-to-face communication.

【3】What does the phrase “l(fā)inguistic Armageddon” mean?

A. The power of languages.

B. The beauty of languages.

C. The development of languages.

D. The disappearance of languages.

【4】What is the structure of the passage?

A. B.

C. D.

【答案】

【1】C

【2】C

【3】D

【4】A

【解析】

本文為記敘文。主要講述了人們?cè)谑褂弥悄苁謾C(jī)時(shí)，經(jīng)常會(huì)用到表情符號(hào)，作者對(duì)它的起源，為何流行及其帶來(lái)的優(yōu)點(diǎn)及缺點(diǎn)進(jìn)行了闡述。

【1】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段的內(nèi)容可知，20世紀(jì)90年代末日本首次發(fā)明了“表情符號(hào)”，“表情符號(hào)”一詞來(lái)自日本的“圖片”和“文字”。從那時(shí)起數(shù)量大大增加，現(xiàn)在我們有了幾乎每一種情緒或情況的圖片。由此可推斷出表情符號(hào)越來(lái)越多地被用來(lái)表達(dá)我們的情感。分析選項(xiàng)可知C項(xiàng)符合題意，故選C項(xiàng)。

【2】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段“Why are emojis widely used today? One of the reasons why emojis are so interesting is that they really do enable us to express our emotional selves much more effectively.”可知，表情符號(hào)確實(shí)能讓我們更有效地表達(dá)有情感的我們自己。第四段內(nèi)容說(shuō)“另一個(gè)優(yōu)點(diǎn)就是它們是一種國(guó)際語(yǔ)言。它們不使用文字，而是用圖片告訴信息，所以無(wú)論你的母語(yǔ)是什么，它們都能很容易地被理解”。根據(jù)這兩段可推斷出，表情符號(hào)能讓我們更有效地交流。分析選項(xiàng)可知C項(xiàng)正確。

【3】猜測(cè)詞義題。根據(jù)最后一段可知，語(yǔ)言學(xué)家Neil Cohn認(rèn)為對(duì)許多人來(lái)說(shuō)，表情符號(hào)是一種令人興奮的交流方式的進(jìn)化，但對(duì)其他人來(lái)說(shuō)，它們是linguistic Armageddon。通過(guò)使用表情符號(hào)來(lái)表達(dá)，我們的交流比文字更重要，但這也意味著傳統(tǒng)的寫(xiě)作總有一天會(huì)消亡嗎？分析句意可知，前半部分說(shuō)表情符號(hào)是一種進(jìn)化；而后一句說(shuō)它是linguistic Armageddon，即它有可能使人類(lèi)的語(yǔ)言消失，分析選項(xiàng)可知D項(xiàng)符合題意。故選D項(xiàng)。

【4】篇章結(jié)構(gòu)題。文章第一段對(duì)表情符號(hào)作了總結(jié)。第二段敘述了它的起源。第三段及第四段說(shuō)明了表情符號(hào)被廣泛運(yùn)用的原因。第五段敘述了它的優(yōu)點(diǎn)和弊端。由此可知A項(xiàng)是文章的篇章結(jié)構(gòu)。

【題目】A new study has looked into whether social media makes users feel lonelier or if lonely people tend to turn toward social media more. It asked the question: Is it social media or social isolation(隔離)?

“ The social media craze (狂熱)has helped some people but hurt some others in my opinion, ” development psychologist(心理學(xué)家) Stephanie Marcy with Children’s Hospital Los Angeles said.

Marcy was not surprised to learn that the more time young people spend on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and other apps, the more they feel lonely. “Some people who are otherwise social beings are now relying too much on their screens and their iPads and their telephones and social media, ” Marcy explained. Experts said users can have thousands of followers, but that doesn’t mean they have somebody to call when they need a friend. “It’s sort of a false representation of having social connection. There are many people that have thousands of virtual(虛擬的) friends but don’t really have somebody to watch a movie with. That’s really quite sad as a social media leading to fewer friends, actually. ” Marcy said.

While the negative(負(fù)面的) influences of social media are often talked about, Marcy said it has helped some people，including those with anxiety, autism(自閉癥) and physical limitations. “There needs to be a balance no matter what it is and with social media that completely applies, ” Marcy said.

The study doesn’t show whether people who are isolated are more likely to go online or whether seeing the pages of others makes people feel more disheartened.

【1】What is Paragraph 3 mainly concerned with?

A. Young people lack real friends.

B. The bad effects of social media.

C. Social media are everywhere nowadays.

D. A new kind of connection among people.

【2】What does Marcy say about social media?

A. It is two-sided.

B. It needs limiting.

C. It does more harm than good.

D. It is important to young people.

【3】Which of the following shows the structure of the text?

(①= Paragraph 1 ②=Paragraph 2…)

A. B.

C. D.

【題目】In six months, I will be 50 but I already know what I’ll regret. This is the answer. “if anything had been different, I wouldn’t be who I am today.” Being like what I am today is so great that I’d never want to change it. But…【1】

KIDS. I wish I had spent more time with my kids. 【2】 But I worked really hard and, I admit, I probably avoided them when they were really young and difficult to wake up and get ready for school when they were younger.

MONEY. I wish for 15 years or so I wasn’t so focused on money.

CREATIVITY. I began my career in my 20s doing things that were really creative that I loved. I was trying to write a novel. I was trying to do a TV show. I was always around people I loved so much. And I spent time with them because I loved them and not because I wanted anything else. I wish I had stuck with that. Now, in my 40s, I’m trying to catch up. 【3】

HUMILITY. When I first made some money, I became a bit too proud. I started investing in all of these horrible companies and having horrible friends. 【4】 If I were humble and just went back to what I loved, I bet I’d be happier.

DISAGREEMENT. 【5】 I still have a hard time with that. I wish when someone does something that I don’t like or agree with I would say “no” a bit more often. I’ve gotten into a lot of bad situations because I didn’t say “no”. Here are two cases where I should have said “no” more often: when someone treats me badly and when I don’t want to do something but I feel bad about hurting someone.

Anyway, if I had a time machine, would I go back in time? I’m not sure. It’s OK to feel regretful some times.
