Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences in the box. Each sentence can only be used once. Note that there are two sentences more than you need.

Whether you’re on social media or sending a text message, you encounter emoji (表情符号)regularly. 1. While most people’s enthusiasm for emoji increased in the   smart- phone era, Japan has been crazy for emoji since 1999. Designer Shigetaka Kurita invented emoji for a Japanese phone company 20 years ago as a way to make it easier to express ideas in a short message. The word emoji can be translated as “picture character” from Japanese. After the release of Kurita’s emoji, rival phone companies in Japan began creating their own emoji. Many emoji on our digital devices today are imported from Kurita’s original set of emoji.

Japan’s love for emoji continued well into the 2000s before the rest of the world discovered them. Apple Inc. officially introduced an emoji function in their software in 2011. Soon, other phone companies   from   around   the world made it easier for their customers to use emoji 2..

As you scroll (滑动)through your phone, you can see the wide selection of available emoji. More than 2,000 emoji are in existence now, with more being released each year. These numbers show the popularity and demand for emoji.

Why? Because words alone can’t convey the complete meaning of a digital message. In digital communication, emoji express a tone or mood. More than 90 percent of people online use emoji especially ones that show emotion like hearts and smileys. 3.. For example, they might send a red heart emoji as a response that they really like something instead of writing, “I love that.”

Some emoji are also abstract enough for people to use in any way they like. You can send an   emoji   as   an   inside   joke,   which   is   only   understood   between   you   and   your friend.

4.. Nor do they belong to a specific culture. You and I give emoji meaning, because emoji is a language that belongs to all of us.

A.You  may find these colorful symbols unavoidable as they’ve become a language of their own

B.People can send emoji instead of writing words to participate in a conversation

C.No wonder emoji use is becoming more and more popular in various fields

D.Today, emoji use is a standard feature in digital communication

E.But not all the people show interest in emoji especially elder ones

F.Unlike most words, there isn't a certain definition for each emoji

 

1.A 2.D 3.B 4.F 【解析】 这是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了表情符号emoji的发展历史及其作用。 1.根据上一句Whether you’re on social media or sending a text message, you encounter emoji (表情符号)regularly. 无论你是在社交媒体上还是在发短信,你都会经常看到表情符号。可知,无论在哪里都不可避免地会见到表情符号,故选项A“你可能会发现这些丰富多彩的符号是不可避免的,因为它们已经成为了自己的语言。”符合题意。故选A。 2.根据上文中出现的年份into the 2000s,in 2011以及Soon表明了表情符号的发展过程,可知此处也要描述表情符号的发展,故选项D“如今,表情符号的使用是数字通信的标准功能”符合题意。故选D。 3.根据下一句For example, they might send a red heart emoji as a response that they really like something instead of writing, “I love that.” 例如,他们可能会发送一个红心表情作为他们真的喜欢某样东西的回应,而不是写“我爱那个”。通过例子可知,此处应该表达了表情符号可以代替具体的某句话,故选项B“人们可以发送表情符号来代替文字来参与对话”符合题意。故选B。 4.根据下一句Nor do they belong to a specific culture. 他们也不属于特定的文化。可知they指代的应该是emoji表情符号,故此处也应该与表情符号有关,且表达表情符号不是具体的什么,故选项F“与大多数单词不同,每个表情符号都没有特定的定义”符合题意。故选F。

    5G, the fifth generation of wireless, promises lightning-fast download speeds and could lay foundation for high-tech advancements like self-driving cars. But like many new technologies, it's causing concern about potential health issues.

The first generation of wireless introduced mobile phones, and 2G brought texting. 3G laid the groundwork for smart-phones, and 4G allowed video streaming and more. 5G is expected to download data 20 times faster than its predessor(前任)and some experts argue it could be much faster.

Too much of a good thing?

It's not just about streaming data faster, it's about streaming more of it. On a 5G network, a user can download a movie instantly, and data will flow between connected objects without delay. The amount of data people use on mobile devices has gone up 40 times since 2010 and is only expected to increase. 5G networks are wireless companies attempts to satisfy that demand.

Uncertain effects

The untested nature of 5G, and the extensiveness of its infrastructure( 基础设施) has some  worried  that  the  increased  exposure  could  have  serious  health  effects.  Wireless  safety advocates(倡议人士)have called for more studies on the effects of the exposure, and one group is trying to stop the installment of 5G networks in Chicago's neighborhoods.

The federal government has safety rules that wireless companies must obey that limit human exposure to radio waves, including frequencies uses with 5G.

Wireless industry association CTIA says typical exposure to 5G infrastructure is comparable to Bluetooth devices and baby monitors, and there is no scientific evidence  of negative health effects.

Still, assurances from government agencies and industry operators are not enough for Chicago resident Judy Blake. Additional studies on 5G’s health impacts likely wouldn’t soothe her either. She said, “People can't choose whether or not to be exposed to this radiation.”

“I don’t need another test. The only test that’s going to happen now is people’s lives,” said Blake, 67.

Only time will tell?

Though little is known about the long-term health impact of the millimeter waves that 5G operates on, some research has shown short-term exposure could be problematic, said Joel Moskowitz, a public health expert at the University of California at Berkeley.

The eyes and sweat glands(腺体)are among several body parts studies have shown could be at risk. Moskowitz said. Insects and plant life could also be affected, he added.

The millimeter waves used in SG are absorbed by the upper layers of skin, potentially causing the temperature of the skin to rise, said Suresh Borkar, senior lecturer in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the Illinois Institute of Technology. The effects of extended rises in skin temperature “become a big unknown,” he said.

This isn't the first time people will come into contact with millimeter waves: They're also used in airport body scanners, said Lav Varshney, assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Still, it's the first time the high- frequency waves will he used on such a scale, and concerns surrounding new technologies are common throughout history.

“When cars first started replacing horse-drawn carriages, people were afraid of what the health impacts of traveling at high speeds would be,” Varshney said. “There has always been occurrence of this fear.”

1.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A.5G is faster but not safe to human beings.

B.5G features faster and more in transiting.

C.5G can meet people's any demand in theory.

D.5G just makes little impact on people's health.

2.What can be inferred from the passage?

A.Millimeter waves certainly affect people's health seriously

B.Millimeter waves will cause the skin’s temperature to rise.

C.It's obvious that many scientists object to 5G technology.

D.It's hard to say whether millimeter waves do damage to health.

3.The word soothe in the last but 7 paragraphs most probably means ______ .

A.to make somebody feel calm or less worried.

B.to make somebody feel happy or more excited.

C.to make somebody feel disappointed or less satisfaction

D.to make somebody feel inspired or more energetic.

4.The best title for this passage is ______.

A.5G’s Advantages and Disadvantages

B.The Development of Wireless

C.5G Health Concern

D.5G Future Prediction

    Science fiction paints a future where robots play an important part in everyday life. A technology firm is trying to make that future a reality today with an affordable robot called Artibo. Artibo is small. Its brain, or AI block, is a cube (立方体)that fits in your hand. That block connects to a motor block and two silicon wheels. Assembled, it's about four inches tall.

Artibo is much more than just a robot that you program to move around. Artibo’s designers want it to provide companionship and be a resource for learning coding. With its camera, microphone and connection to a cloud-based AI, it can respond to voice commands or function like a walkie-talkie(对讲 ).It talks like a chatbot and can tell bedtime stories. It can even help you learn other languages!

Artibo isn’t quite ready for stores yet, though. It’s part of a crowdfunding project. Crowdfunding is a program where you put a request online to a crowd of people. Supporters can then pay large or small amounts to help you finish a project. Artibo will first be available to people who have paid to help bring it into production.

Using computer code to program your own toys is nothing new. LEGO first released a robot kit in 1998. Since then, programmable robots have become one of the best-selling units in the LEGO product line. Programming robots might sound comparable to rocket science, but anyone can program one using nothing more than a tablet or a smartphone and code blocks.

Code blocks allow you to program simple or complex commands by assembling visual blocks of code on the canvas ( of a computer screen. Just drag and drop a variety of code blocks from a programming menu, link them together, and watch how your robot responds. In Artibo’s case coding doesn’t stop there. Unlike other similar programmable toys, Artibo will also allow you to write your own code. So as your familiarity with coding increases, you won’t lose interest in Artibo.

1.According to the passage, the purpose of developing Artibo is    .

A.helping people learn anything they want and providing companionship

B.providing a robot that can move, accompany and help people learn coding

C.chatting with people, telling bedtime stories and supplying languages

D.helping people raise money on line and creating programmable robots

2.What can be concluded from the passage?

A.Programming robots is not really complicated.

B.Programming robots is advanced like a rocket.

C.Programming robots can be used in smartphones.

D.Programming robots used in toys is not new at all.

3.The passage implies that _______.

A.People can program various orders even without code blocks.

B.Anyone can control Artibo freely unlike other programming toys.

C.The more familiar you’re with coding, the more you’ll like Artibo.

D.Artibo is popular in the world especially among young people.

    Wild Track is an organization that aims to protect endangered animals like rhinos. They use a computer program that runs photos of animal track through an algorithm (演算法).Then the program makes the same observations as a tracker would, allowing scientists to know where individual animals go. However, the program itself needs “training”.

It starts with collecting good photos of prints from endangered animals in captivity  ( 圈养).As people send in photos of tracks from animals in the wild, the FIT program can compare it to tracks from animals it “knows”. As the program becomes more accurate, Wild Track hopes it will become a major tool for monitoring any endangered species.

Anyone can help Wild Track by taking images of tracks and sending them to a partner organization called naturalist.org. The only tool you need is a digital camera or cellphone. After finding a clear track, place one ruler along the bottom of the footprint and another along the left side. Below the footprint, place a note containing your exact name and the date. Holding the camera or cellphone directly above the track, take a photo showing the footprint, rulers and note. Later, visit naturalist.org and follow the instructions on the site to send your photo.

Wild Track needs photos of footprints made not only by animals in captivity but also those living in the wild. In wild places, you should take care not to disturb animals in their natural environment. If you intend to photograph in a wild area that is unknown to you, then you should not go there alone. Instead, go with someone who is familiar with the region and experienced at tracking.

1.How does the writer begin this article about Wild Track?

A.By discussing the software that it employs.

B.By praising its recent efforts to raise funds.

C.By explaining how and when it was founded.

D.By summarizing different opinions about it.

2.According to this article, which animals are Wild Track mainly interested in?

A.Those which cause a threat to human settlements.

B.Those which are now at risk of becoming extinct.

C.Those which have been illegally kept as pets.

D.Those which disappeared from the Earth long ago.

3.What does this article talk about in detail?

A.A list of locations worth exploring.

B.A strategy for acquiring equipment.

C.A warning not to engage in hunting.

D.A technique containing several steps.

4.What does the article suggest doing in wild areas?

A.Admiring the wild landscape.

B.Preparing well for wild weather.

C.Leaving wild creatures alone.

D.Consuming a diet of wild plants.
