12.阅读下面短文,按照要求完成阅读任务.
    HOW do you tell others you are speechless via text messages without too much explanation?Standard texts can be boring,and sometimes your emotions get lost in it,You have to be so good at using descriptive language to express your exact feelings.Hence the birth of the Emoji-cake with lit candles to say"Happy Birthday",or a grinning (笑嘻嘻) face with a party hat to show"I"m having a great time".
    For those who aren't in the know yet,.Emoji-which come from Japanese and translate to"picture letter"-expand on the idea of the emoticon(情感符号)with cute,detailed,full color graphics.Instead of just typing a colon and parenthesis¨:)",you can choose from a grinning face with its eyes closed,a winking(眨眼) sticking its tongue out or a red-cheeked face with its eyes lowered in embarrassment. There are also  several Emoji hearts,ranging from swelling red ones,broken ones to those、with an arrow shot through them.
  And that's just the tip of the iceberg.The Emoji vocabulary also includes many objects from everyday life,such as animals,electronic appliances,tools,food and vehicles.With  some creativity you can make an entire sentence using only these cute symbols.
    Emoji might seem like a juvenile(幼稚的)form of  communication,and some even argue that they will cause people's language  skills to decline.But fans say they are humorous and take the edge away from serious conversations.
    Emoji have become so popular that an American named Fred Benenson recently launched a project called"Emoji Dick".His intention is to translate US writer Herman Melville's masterpiece Moby Dick (《白鲸》)into Emoji.Why is he doing this?He explained himself this way to The New Yorker.
"I'm interested in the phenomenon of how our language,communications,and culture are influenced by digital technology.Emoji are either a low point or a high point in that story,so I felt I could confront a lot of our shared anxieties about the future of human expression by forcing a great work of literature through such a strange new filter(滤镜)."
56.What is Emoji?(No more than 4 words)picture letter 
57.Why do some people worry about the rising popularity of Emoji?(No more than 15 words)they will cause people's language skills to decline
58.What does the underlined word"confront"in Paragraph 6 mean?(No more than 4 words)deal with
59.Please give a title to this passage.(No more than 6 words)Talking about Emoji
60.What do you think of Emoji?(No more than 20 words)It is a humorous way to express fellings when used probably..

分析 本文为说明文,介绍了当下流行的表达情感的一种方式,用表情符号,以及探讨了有可能带来的一些问题,如交际能力的下降等.

解答 56.picture letter 考察概括题. 在第二段开头"translate to"picture letter"提到了"Emoji"意为"picture letter".
57.They will cause people's language  skills to decline 细节理解题. 根据第四段"some even argue that they will cause people's language  skills to decline"这句可以看出,有些人担心是因为怕引起人们语言交际能力的下降.
58.deal with 猜测词意题."confront"在此处意为"deal with"对付,处理的意思.
59.Talking about Emoji 主旨概括题. 根据全文内容看,主要介绍了Emoji 这种新型的情感表达方式.
60.It is a humorous way to express fellings when used probably.情态态度题. 此题为开放性题型,没有固定答案,考生根据自己的理解在字数控制内都可以接受.

10.Mark Twain was a great writer.He was from the USA.He was born in 1835.He was also a famous speaker.He was famous for his sense of humor.Many people liked to listen to him talk because he liked to tell some interesting stories to make people laugh all the time.
One day Mark Twain was going to a small town because of his writing.Before he was going to leave,one of his friends said to him that there were always a lot of mosquitoes in the town and told him that he'd better not go there.Mark Twain waved his hand and said,"It doesn't matter.The mosquitoes are no relatives of mine.I don't think they will come to visit me."
After he arrived at the town,Mark Twain stayed in a small hotel near the station.He went into his room,but when he was just about to have a rest,quite a few mosquitoes flew about him.The waiters felt very sorry about that."I'm very sorry,Mr.Mark Twain.There are too many mosquitoes in our town."One of them said to him.

7.Questions:
A.What should people look out for when buying a new pair of sports shoes?
B.What kind of technology might we see in sports shoes of the future?
C.Will a more expensive shoe make me run faster or jump higher,as the ads suggest?
D.When you say that expensive shoes are no better at preventing injury than cheap ones,is it true?
E.Some people say we should run just as well without shoes.What's your opinion of that?
F.You helped develop the unstable Masai MBT shoes.Does this design actually work?

46.D
Nigg's Answer:That is a little bit overstated.But the relative frequency of running injuries doesn't seem to have changed much in the past 30years,in spite of all the developments in sports shoe design.The literature shows that shoes are a minor player in injury development.If you take a group of people and want to injure them,send them out every day for a 20-kilometre run.A lot of them will be injured in three weeks.The major factors are the distance run,the intensity and recovery time,not the shoes.
47.A
Nigg's Answer:The problem is that if you go to a store and want to find your best shoes,you don't know what to do.Things that are sometimes done,like video analysis of your rear foot movement,may not help.The only way to assess whether a shoe is right for you is how it feels.If you feel comfortable in a shoe,it's likely to be good for you.We did a study with soldiers where we gave them six different inserts,and they chose the one they liked best.In four months those with inserts had 53per cent fewer injuries than those without.
48.C
Nigg's Answer:A shoe may act as a training device,making some muscles to function more effectively for a majority of users.Or it may use materials that last longer.That may have something to do with its price.However,for the average runner it is difficult to distinguish between actual functional designs and unnecessary features.Generally,the more a shoe controls movement,the more it acts like a cast,which means you have some muscles that don't work any more.This may mean that you lose some muscle strength,and your feet are more likely to be injured.
49.E
Nigg's Answer:There are claims that there are fewer injuries when you run barefoot,but there is not yet enough evidence,or enough research,to prove that.If you look at performance,most papers suggest an advantage of 3to 4per cent.With a few exceptions-Abebe Bikila in 1960and Zola Budd in the 1980s-people don't run barefoot,so it may be that it's not an advantage,or it may be that we're just not used to it.
50.F
Nigg's Answer:Yes,for about 80per cent of people.The major benefits are training the small muscles crossing the ankle joint,and a reduction of knee and lower back pain.However,some claims for these unstable shoes are overstated,such as the general muscle strengthening that they are claimed to produce.

4.A Kindle is a product from Amazon which allows you to download books and read them anywhere,without having to carry around lots of heavy books.It is also really useful when you go on holiday if you read a lot and quickly.
I bought my Kindle two years ago after seeing my sister with one.Before,I didn't want one,as I love the satisfaction that comes from reading a book from cover to cover.However,one day,after using my sister's I fell in love with it.It is easy to download any book you can imagine from the website.One minute you see the book online,the next it is in your hands.And you can read a wide range of books-from classic books such as Pride and Prejudice and works by Shakespeare,to modern comedy books.
Another thing I love about the Kindle is the  privacy.You can read absolutely anything on there and nobody will know!For example,if you want to read a book which might be advertised as a children's book,you can secretly read it and everyone will believe you are reading a deeply thoughtful novel!
Reading a Kindle gives you a chance to escape the real world.You can also do this with normal books,but the secrecy and excitement of downloading a new book onto your device adds to the magic.
This doesn't mean I have completely given up reading physical books.I still love them.I often go into old bookshops and find a well-known novel for£1,or borrow old books from my grandfather's library.There is a worry that with all this new technology there will no longer be a place for physical books,which would be a crying shame.So,I definitely recommend getting yourself a Kindle,but please,don't forget about physical books,either!

66.According to the passage,people can use a Kindle toB.
A.download films and see them        B.download books and read them
C.download music and listen to it    D.download games and play them
67.When did the author begin to love the Kindle?A
A.After she used her sister's.     B.After she saw one in the shop.
C.Before her sister bought one.     D.When she saw its advertisement.
68.The meaning of the underlined word"privacy"in Paragraph 3is close to"B".
A.agency     B.secret       C.policy     D.community
69.How should people who get a Kindle deal with physical books?C
A.They should forget them.          B.They should never buy them.
C.They should also read them.      D.They should throw them away.
70.What's the author's attitude towards using a Kindle?A
A.Supportive.  B.Negative.  C.Unconcerned.  D.Unknown.
