Someday soon an emoji (表情符号)might really save lives.
Hiroyuki Komatsu is a Google engineer who suggested adding a series of new emojis to the standard emoji library. It could help those with food allergies (过敏)understand what they are eating anywhere inthe world. Emojis should cover characters representing major food causing allergies. They make people understand what are used in foods even in foreign countries and safely select meals.
Emojis are universal because they are chosen and developed by the Unicode Consortium, a non-profit company that oversees, develops and maintains how text is represented. This is in regards to all software products and standards. It's thanks to the Unicode Standard that when you text a friend six pizza emojis, they’ll see those six pizza pieces on their phone. This is true regardless of whether they use an iPhone or an Android.
Because emojis are everywhere and visual(视觉的),they could be helpful for restaurants and food packaging designers. They can communicate whether a product is made with common causing-allergy food. But as Komatsu’s advice argues, many of the most common causing-allergy foods are missing or poorly represented by the present emoji library. For example, there is an emoji for octopus, but nothing for squid. There is a loaf of bread that could symbolize grain, but a picture of wheat could be clearer. The emojis can be more direct when symbolizing foods.
It’s not uncommon for the Unicode Consortium to add new emojis to the library: several food-related emojis were put into use last June, including some long-waited food emojis. Apple included support for multiracial emojis in a recent iOS update. An artist even recreated Moby-Dick in emoji characters. Some might be sorry for the continuing death of the written word if Komatsu’s suggestion is accepted, but look on the bright side: if you ever see that happy poop on a box, you’ll know to stay away.
4. How will emojis save lives according to the text?
A. By showing what the food contains visually.
B. By telling the safest places in the world.
C. By teaching people how to treat allergies.
D. By adding standard emojis about safety.
5. What does paragraph 3 mainly tell us?
A. Emojis have the same meanings around the world.
B. The Unicode Consortium is a non-profit company.
C. What emojis represent is different in different places.
D. Different mobile operating systems have different emojis.
6. What can be the reason for Komatsu’s advice?
A. Emojis are easy to mix up.
B. Present emojis are not enough.
C. Emojis can't interest most users.
D. Emojis can't represent foods directly.
7. What is the author’s attitude to Komatsu's suggestion?
A. Doubtful.
B. Worried.
C. Supportive.
D. Uninterested.
C
Italy's fashion capital is gray — not only because of the blocks of stone buildings，but also due to its often-gray sky, which traps pollution. ButMilannow wants to change it.
The city has an ambitious plan to plant 3 million new trees by 2030 - a move that experts say could offer relief from the city's hot weather. Some projects have already contributed to environmental improvements. Architect Stefano Boeri’s Vertical Forest residential (居民的) tower, completed in 2014, aims to improve not only air quality but the quality of life for Milan residents. Boeri created a smallisland of greenery in the heart ofMilan, filling every balcony with plants that absorb carbon dioxide.
“I think forestation is one of the best chances that we have today. It is one of the most effective ways we have to fight climate change, because everyone can plant trees, Boeri said.
Damiano Di Simine, a member of the environmental group Legambiente , said the greenMilanproject will lower temperatures in a city where the nighttime temperature can be 6 degrees Celsius higher than in the surrounding area. City show thatMilanexperiences 35 hot nights a year. Because the city lies close to theAlps, Milin gets very little wind to lower the city's temperatures. "Planting trees will help this," Di said.
TheVerticalForesthas attracted more than 20 species of birds. And the shade provided by the 800 trees and 15,000 plants means that residents rarely have to put on air conditioning, even in hot summers. TheVerticalForest's total greenery- can absorb 30 metric tons of carbon dioxide every year. The presence of green trees has a very important effect on people's health and psychological state, as has already been proved.
8. What change doesMilanplan to make?
A. Planting more trees.
B. Creating a new fashion style.
C. Pulling down more gray stone buildings.
D. Doing more surveys to study global wanning.
9. What's Boeri's opinion on the city's plan?
A. It costs a lot.
B. It is unpractical.
C. It fails to attract people's attention.
D. It is helpful to fight against climate change.
10. What is Di Simine's attitude toward the city's plan?
A. Doubtful.
B. Supportive.
C. Disappointed.
D. Unconcerned.
11. What does the last paragraph focus on?
A. Specifics of the city's plan.
B. Challenges faced by the city.
C. The aim of theVerticalForestproject.
D. The positive effect of theVerticalForestproject.
D
Summer is quickly passing by—but not without the ultimate meteor（流星）shower event!
The2021 Perseids Meteor Shower, which is considered to be the best meteor shower of the year, is expected to start lighting up skies on this Wednesday, according to NASA. Known for fireballs, the Perseids typically light up skies on warm summer nights, leaving “long wake（尾迹）of light and color1 behind them.”
Under ideal conditions, sky watchers may see approximately 50-100 meteors per hour with each meteor traveling at 37 miles per second. .
Because the meteors appear in all parts of the sky, it will be pretty easy to witness the celestial（天上的）event from anywhere in the world. To get the best show, it is advised to view the Perseids from the Northern Hemisphere（半球）during the pre- dawn hours, ideally between 2 a.m. and dawn. In some cases, sky gazers may be able to seemeteors during this shower as early as 9 or 10 p. m.
“If it's not cloudy, pick an observing spot away from bright lights, lie on your back, and look up! You don't need any special equipment to view the Perseids—just your eyes,” NASA wrote on their site, adding that telescopes or binoculars are not recommended due to their small fields of view.
Remember to let your eyes become adjusted to the dark. Try to stay off of your phone too, as looking at devices with bright screens will negatively affect your night vision and thus reduce the number of meteors you see!
For those who may be unable to view the Perseids in person, a live broadcast will be streaming from NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center, starting around 8 p. m. on Aug. 11 and continuing through sunrise on Aug. 12.
12. What can we learn about the Perseids Meteor Shower?
A. It will be the best meteor shower in history.
B. The ultimate shower only happens on this Wednesday.
C. We can observe 50- 100 meteors per hour in any place.
D. The Meteors usually have long and bright trails behind them.
13. Which of the following may be the best time to view the shower?
A. At 4 a. m. on the Northern Hemisphere.
B. At 2 p. m. on the Northern Hemisphere.
C. At sunrise on the Southern Hemisphere.
D. At dawn on the Southern Hemisphere.
14. What can be inferred about the observation of Meteors?
A. If you use a telescope, you will see more meteors.
B. You can use smartphones to record the grand scene.
C. The brighter the moon is, the more meteors you can see. .
D. Bright lights will reduce the visibility of meteors.
15. If you are not available to watch the Perseids personally, you can ________.
A. browse the unofficial website of NASA
B. watch a video recorded by a flight center
C. stream a live show on Aug. 11 night
D. use special devices to connect with the shower
