【题目】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 (表情符号) 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 (语言学家) Neil Cohn says, “To many, emojis are an exciting evolution (进化) 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?

1What 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.

2Why 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.

3What does the phrase “linguistic Armageddon” mean?

A. The power of languages.

B. The beauty of languages.

C. The development of languages.

D. The disappearance of languages.

4What is the structure of the passage?

A. B.

C. D.

【解析】

本文为记叙文。主要讲述了人们在使用智能手机时,经常会用到表情符号,作者对它的起源,为何流行及其带来的优点及缺点进行了阐述。

1推理判断题。根据第二段的内容可知,20世纪90年代末日本首次发明了“表情符号”,“表情符号”一词来自日本的“图片”和“文字”。从那时起数量大大增加,现在我们有了几乎每一种情绪或情况的图片。由此可推断出表情符号越来越多地被用来表达我们的情感。分析选项可知C项符合题意,故选C项。

2推理判断题。根据第三段“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,表情符号确实能让我们更有效地表达有情感的我们自己。第四段内容说“另一个优点就是它们是一种国际语言它们不使用文字,而是用图片告诉信息,所以无论你的母语是什么,它们都能很容易地被理解”。根据这两段可推断出,表情符号能让我们更有效地交流。分析选项可知C项正确。

3猜测词义题。根据最后一段可知,语言学家Neil Cohn认为对许多人来说,表情符号是一种令人兴奋的交流方式的进化,但对其他人来说,它们是linguistic Armageddon。通过使用表情符号来表达,我们的交流比文字更重要,但这也意味着传统的写作总有一天会消亡吗?分析句意可知,前半部分说表情符号是一种进化;而后一句说它是linguistic Armageddon,即它有可能使人类的语言消失,分析选项可知D项符合题意。故选D项。

4篇章结构题。文章第一段对表情符号作了总结。第二段叙述了它的起源。第三段及第四段说明了表情符号被广泛运用的原因。第五段叙述了它的优点和弊端。由此可知A项是文章的篇章结构。

【题目】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(隔离)?

“ The social media craze (狂热)has helped some people but hurt some others in my opinion, ” development psychologist(心理学家) 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(虚拟的) 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.

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.

【题目】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.
