Some people even feel difficult to talk online without using emoji. Emoji help netizens to communicate with each other easily and vividly(生动地). Yet, not all emoji are properly used on social media. So we are going to introduce some common but confusing(令人困惑的)emoji to help you have a better understanding of these small signs.1. A recent survey shows, over 53% people use the emoji when they are chatting online. Some people think it means “Im shy,” but others only use it when they are surprised or shocked. But what does it really mean? It is still an unsolved question.2. What do you think of this sign? Believe it or not, 80% of netizens use it under the meaning of “It is not funny at all, but I have to smile.” Is it right? Of course not! It actually means that “I saw what you did(usually bad things) and I want to give you a sinister(奸诈的)smile.”3. People have very different opinions on this emoji. The Apple company has told that this emoji means “high five(嗨，击掌).” But most people still use the incorrect meaning“pray”. Some netizens even thought, “If you see this emoji as two people give each other a high five, you must be a bad guy.”4. According to the official guidelines(官方指南), it is used as “smile through tears(破涕为笑).” However, most young netizens consider this emoji as “Laugh to tears” or simply “LOL”, which means “Laugh out loud”. You see, emoji are also a kind of language. And different people have different understanding of them.31. After reading the passage, we still cant understand the emoji _ well.A. B. C. D. 32. You are playing with your mobile phone while you are doing your homework, your brother sends you this sign , what does he mean?/A. Send this emoji back to your fatherB. Stop doing your homeworkC. Put away your mobile phone and do your homeworkD. Go on playing with your mobile phone33. When your friend tells you online that he won the first prize in the writing competition, which emoji will you send him?A. B. C. D. 34. The fourth sign means “_”.A. laugh out loud B. cry out loud C. laugh to tears D. smile through tears35. Why does the writer introduce these four emoji?A. To help netizens use them properly B. To help netizens use them easilyC. Because they are more important D. Because they are not so common【答案】31. C 32. C 33. A 34. D 35. A【解析】【分析】现在越来越多的人在网上交流的时候，都会使用一些表情符号，这使聊天变得有趣、生动。但有一些表情符号的使用并不适当，这篇短文中就给我们介绍了几个很常见，但却令人比较困惑的表情符号。【31题详解】细节理解题。根据短文第二段中It is still an unsolved question.可知，这里提到的这个表情符号，有的人认为它表示害羞，有的人认为它表示的是吃惊，这是一个未解决的问题。因此这里提到的表情符号还没有很好的理解它的意思，故应选C。【32题详解】推理判断题。根据短文第三段中It actually means that “I saw what you did(usually bad things) and I want to give you a sinister(奸诈的)smile.”可知，这里提到的表情符号的意思是：我已经看到你做的坏事了，给你一个奸诈的微笑。结合题意可知，你在做作业的时候玩手机已经被发现了，所以对方是警告你，把手机放起来，赶紧写作业，故应选C。【33题详解】细节理解题。根据题意可知，你的朋友在写作比赛中得了一等奖，那么你应该给他发哪个表情符号。根据短文第四段中The Apple company has told that this emoji means “high five(嗨，击掌).”可知，这个表情符号的实际意思是：嗨，击掌，是向对方表示祝贺，故应选A。【34题详解】细节理解题。根据短文第五段中According to the official guidelines(官方指南), it is used as “smile through tears可知，这里介绍的这个表情符号的意思是：破涕为笑，故应选D。A和C选项是对这个表情符号的错误理解，B选项不符合文意。【35题详解】主旨大意题。根据短文第一段的最后Yet, not all emoji are properly used on social media. So we are going to introduce some common but confusing(令人困惑的)emoji to help you have a better understanding of these small signs.可知，在短文中作者介绍了一些使用不恰当的表情符号，帮助我们更好的理解这些符号的意思。故应选A。【点睛】这篇短文给我们介绍了一些在网上聊天时使用不准确的表情符号，帮助我们更好的理解他们的意思，短文中共介绍了四个表情符号，从第二段开始，一段一个，因此这篇短文的结构非常的清晰，是总分总的结构，文章的主题一般会出现在首段的首句或尾句，仔细阅读我们可以发现，第一段的最后一句话就是文章的中心句。了解文章的大意和层次，对于我们做题是非常有用的。如做细节题的时候，我们就可以根据题目中的关键词，如表情符号的图片，定位到原文相关地方，搜索信息作答。例如第2小题，题目中是给了我们一个情景，你在做作业的时候玩手机，你的哥哥给你发了一个题目中出现的这个表情符号，问我们这代表什么意思。做题时，我们就应该在原文找到这个表情符号，弄清楚它的意思，根据第三段中It actually means that “I saw what you did(usually bad things) and I want to give you a sinister(奸诈的)smile.”可知，这个表情符号的意思是：我已经看到你做的坏事了，给你一个奸诈的微笑。所以这里它代表的意思是：我已经知道你玩手机了，赶快把手机放好，好好写作业。所以C选项是符号文意的。CA lot of people drink bottled water in the world. A water bottle offers great convenience. It can be bought almost anywhere, carried around for a while, and then thrown away.The influence of bottled water on the environment, however, is very big. About 2.7 million tons of plastic is turned into bottles which are only used once each year. This requires a lot of oil and water. It also produces greenhouse gases. Bottled water is often carried for long distances to reach people who buy it. This uses even more fossil fuels(化石燃料) and creates more pollution. Although the bottles can be recycled, only small parts of them are. The United States only recycles about 23 percent. The rest are part of a growing waste problem.Convenience isnt the only reason for bottled water to become popular. Many people believe that it must be cleaner and healthier than tap water from public water systems. But this is not true. In developed countries such as the United States and some countries in Europe, laws about safe water are often stricter for tap water than for bottled water.It may come as a surprise that nearly 40 percent of the water bottled in the United States starts from tap water. Before bottling, some companies filter(过滤)it, and they might add some things for taste. Whats more, bottled water can cost from 240 to 10, 000 times more than tap water.“Back to the tap activities start around the world, In order to save money, use fewer resources, and create less waste, they support using tap water and reusable bottles rather than bottled water. San Francisco and other cities across the United States no longer allow their government departments to buy Many bottled water companies are trying to improve, too. They have reduced the use of plastic in their bottles.36. Whats the second paragraph mainly about?A. The difficulty of transporting the bottles B. The advantages of bottled waterC. The ways to produce bottled water D. The problem caused by bottled water37. Why is bottled water popular?A. Because people think it is t
