A
“Funny”, a made-in-China emoji, seems to have recently moved beyond China. Now, it is more than an emoji, but a cultural expansion.
● Reaching Global Markets
A series of “funny” emoji-based bolsters (抱枕) have attracted the attention of Japanese customers. Even if one bolster is more than three times as expensive as in China, it doesn’t kill their desires to buy it. One Japanese customer Miki said, “They are just so cute and I bought three bolsters at one ti me for my family. And every time I see them, my mood just brightens suddenly.”
A Japanese netizen Kiro Kara said, “I think the emoji implies very complicated meanings. My dad will send it when he doesn’t agree with someone but he has to say something and behave politely.”
● Addition to Domestic Social Media
Compared with Japanese impressions of the “funny” emoji, Chinese netizens prefer to use emoji to tease one another on social media.
One commonly seen online comment is, “We strongly suggest stopping the usage of the emoji. Because every time other people send me the emoji, I feel very uncomfortable and consider myself as a fool.”
Regarded as the most popular emoji, the “funny” emoji has received much attention since its release in 2013.
In fact, the “funny” emoji is the updated version of its original one; “funny” has a smiley mouth, two eyebrows and
a naughty look. All these characteristics present users a sense of satire (讽刺).
● In Everyday Use Abroad
It's not the first time the Chinese emoji takes the world stage. Earlier this year, one emoji from the Chinese basketball celebrity Yao Ming has been spread through the Middle East region. In a city in southern Egypt, Yao’s smiling emoji has appeared frequently in local traffic signs to remind people the road ahead is one-way. Many locals do not know Yao Ming but are familiar with his emoji and nickname “Chinese Funny Face”.
As a new online language, emojis have become a necessary part of people’s daily life, helping people express their views in a more vivid and precise way. Also, it can help foreigners learn about Chinese culture. But how to properly use “the fifth innovation in China” without hurting others and turn them into commercial advantages still need answers.
21．Why do the bolsters attract Miki’s at tention?
A．They are inexpensive.
B．They help reach an agreement.
C．They help brighten the mood.
D．They are helpful to express desire.
22．According to the passage, which of following is the latest “funny” emoji?
A．B．
C．D．
23．The main purpose of the text is to .
A．promote the emoji worldwide
B．teach us how to use the emoji
C．explain the meaning of emoji
D．show us the popularity of the emoji
B
At the time of writing this, it's been eight days since I moved into my dorm room at Montclair State University. Commuting (通勤) or going online completely is not an option for me. I can't drive a car. And I am studying journalism, which is difficult to practice with online-only classes.
Few people are on campus. The school is doing phased move-ins. For the safety of students and staff,you have to fill out charts and forms telling the school exactly where you go and when you will move in.
Housing was not a big concern because the on-campus population has been halved. I moved in at the earliest time I could: Aug. 10. During that time, the only people I saw were joggers wheezing up the many hills around my school. To get my double room, I had to fill out an abundance of paperwork. I agreed that in the event that I get COVID-19, I'll move to a single room completely lacking in human contact, besides food delivery and online classes.
And then there was the food situation. It's unknown whether dining options will be open in time for our classes next week, and if they are, how they will be handled. The tables I spent many hours sitting at with friends have all but disappeared. There are plenty of floor signs at the canteen for all students to follow. Instead of sitting down to eat, it was grab-and-go. Pick whatever you want, and an employee will pack it for you in a box and a plastic bag.
But here on campus, it's the calm before the storm. Somehow, society hasn't collapsed. Cats and dogs are not raining from the sky. Pigs aren't flying. Right now, it's like a nature reserve. I've seen more birds, deer and squirrels than humans here.
My bizarre (怪异的) college situation leaves me with sleepless nights. Much like this whole pandemic (疫情),everything is just one day at a time.
24．What are students from Montclair State University required to do?
A．Report their whereabouts. B．Fill out application forms.
C．Take online courses at dorms. D．Move in as soon as possible.
25．Why did the author feel confident of getting a double room?
A．He was infected with COVID-19.
B．There were not so many applicants.
C．He came earlier than any other students.
D．He submitted all the necessary paperwork.
26．What can we learn about the food situation?
A．Food will be delivered by an employee.
B．Students will have more choices next week.
C．Students are not allowed to eat at the canteen.
D．The canteen provides more tables and floor signs.
27．Which word best describes the author's attitude to the future?
A．Optimistic. B．Concerned.
C．Relaxed. D．Indifferent.
C
People of all cultures have special stories they pass down. Aboriginal (土著的) Australians have a long history of telling stories. They call it “Dreaming”. Many Dreaming stories are thousands of years old.
Europeans came to Australia in 1788. At that time, Aboriginal people had been there for 60,000 years. There were 270 tribes (部落), and each one spoke a different language. Only tribal members were allowed to take part in Dreaming. If they drew symbols during Dreaming, tribal members had to erase them. Most people drew these symbols in the dirt. That way, they could erase them after Dreaming.
When Europeans moved into Australia, they wanted the Aboriginal people to become more like them. In 1959, they built a town called Papunya. They asked Aboriginal tribes to move there. In Papunya, the Europeans hoped the Aboriginal people would become part of European culture. However, Aboriginal people wanted to hold on to their own cultures. That was difficult in Papunya. The tribes were also living with each other for the first time. Slowly, parts of each tribe’s culture began to die out. Today, only 18 of the 270 lang uages remain strong.
Still, Aboriginal people held on to their Dreaming stories. In 1971, a group of students in Papunya shared their stories with each other during an art class. Their teacher noticed what they were doing. He wanted them to use the symbols in their artwork.
However, they wanted to protect their tradition. To do so, they hid their Dreaming symbols in the dots of each painting. That way, only other people from their tribe could truly understand the message of the painting. Soon, the practice of Aboriginal dot painting (点画) became widespread. Aboriginal dot paintings can’t be fully understood by outsiders. However, many still enjoy the paintings as art. Dot painting became popular in the late 20th century. Today, Aboriginal artists continue to conceal their Dreaming symbols.
28．What do we know about Dreaming stories?
A．They were kept secret from other tribes.
B．They interested the Europeans very much.
C．They were created to fight the Europeans.
D．They were about the Aboriginals’ history.
29．What influence did the Europeans have on Aboriginal Australians?
A．Some of their tribes disappeared forever.
B．Some of their tribes’ culture disappeared.
C．All the tribes began to speak the same language.
D．The tribes couldn’t live a peaceful life together.
30．Who created the first Aboriginal dot painting?
A．A teacher. B．The Europeans.
C．Aboriginal artists. D．A group of students in Papunya.
31．What does the underlined word “conceal” in the last paragraph mean?
A．Use. B．Change. C．Hide. D．Paint.
D
Looking at a pile of old photos, I couldn’t help feeling rather regretful.
I’ve never got into the habit of sorting out photos. However, it’s almost a habit of mine to have photos taken thoughtlessly. Thus, photos have been piling up in my childhood to womanhood. In spite of that, those
black-and-white pictures taken in my early years are rarely kept, except a few survivals regarded as antiques. The bald baby picture of me that I treasured, the only one left, it’s now missing.
Familiar faces flash one by one before my eyes. Though the world is so small and we all live in it, yet we are separated by physical and psychological distances, some smaller, some larger. With the passage of time, one cannot, regretfully relive (重温) it with the same feeling as one had in the picture. What one can get from the old photos is but a bit of the past joy.
One takes pictures with different persons in different time and places. They fill one with nostalgia (怀旧) in various degrees —some more, some less, and others none. That’s why one ha s conflicting feelings towards the old photos. Still kept with the current ones, they’re even less favored than a daily-used cup, which is always close to the owner.
How these pieces of thought influence me! Photos keep our images rather than our sentiment, which may not
remain. The image is always there but not its owner, whom the photo can’t keep, neither can it keep the event.
Of course, there are some of the photos still holding my affection, such as those taken with my family members, with favorite playmates, fellow girl-students and best friends, not only in pictures but also in my life and heart.
Now, since I have learned all this, I will not allow myself to be included casually in a photo taken with others. I’ll make sure that the friendship can last before I take a photo with somebody.
32．Why did the writer have only a few black-and-white pictures?
A．She took fewer of them. B．She took photos thoughtlessly.
C．She didn’t take good care of them.D．She only liked the bald baby picture.
33．What can we get from the old photos according to the writer?
A．All the past events. B．All the past excitement.
C．Some past happiness. D．The everlasting memory.
34．What does the underlined word “sentiment” in paragraph 5 probably mean?
A．Feeling. B．Thought. C．Look. D．Influence.
35．What is the writer likely to do when asked to take photos with others?
A．To take the photo happily. B．To refuse the request politely.
C．To ignore the request casually. D．To think carefully before action.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

Last Sunday afternoon, Sandra and I were eager to meet up with a man on Detroit’s east side to help him get ready for a job interview this week. But on the way, we spotted a dog lying near the road next to his owner. We thought he’d been hit by a car. My friend, Sandra Abrahamian, and I had assisted animal rescue groups before and we thought there might be something we could do, so we quickly pulled over to help.
His owner, a woman told us the dog’s name is Bosco, and she was walking him over a mile in the heat to her new home. She said Bosc o was an outside dog and no one would give him a ride to her new place. That’s when she and a friend decided to walk the entire way. He was going from a life on a chain in one backyard to another. She said Bosco was having trouble breathing along the way, but they thought he could make it. But just a block away from their destination, Bosco fell down. We could tell he was suffering from heatstroke (中暑). She told us he had thrown up and could no longer stand. Bosco was out of breath quickly; his drool(口水) wa s also thick. Bosco’s owner said she wanted to give him away because she didn’t have time for him. She said he would never be allowed into her new "home" because her children have allergies(过敏症) and she worried he would dirty the carpet.
I made a call to Kristina Rinaldi of Detroit Dog Rescue to ask if they could help Bosco because it was clear that he was going to die without emergency care. To our happiness, Rinaldi said they could help. At once she told the people at Oakland Veterinary Referral Services that a dog which needed critical care was being rushed in and they must be ready to try their best to save him.
注意：
1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右；
2.应使用5个以上短文中标有下划线的关键词语；
