Ok, I admit it: Emoticons(表情符號(hào)) are popular. Some people even think they are fun. Many seem unable to get through an e-mail or Instant Message chat sentence without using one. Some feel that they add feeling and character to otherwise cold digital communications.
Some, however, such as editor and Hollywood scriptwriter John Blumenthal, blast the use of emotions as “ infantile(幼稚的) just like the people who use them”. He believes that words themselves should be enough. “If you’re being funny, happy or sad, that should be apparent from the comment that goes before the emoticons,” he argues.
In the eyes of Blumenthal, the use of emoticons is a gender issue. “Men don’t use emoticons very much. Maybe not at all.,” he said. “Teenage girls and women seem to use them a lot. Maybe there’s an emoticons gene.”
It’s an interesting opinion, but it is not shared by all.
In an interview with The New York Times, Dacher Keltner, professor of psychology at the University of California, said that emoticons are popular because our brains are programmed “ to seek out representations of humanity”. He believes that they appeal not because they are shortcuts for the lazy, but because they tap into(輸入)something beyond language. They reach to our need to be with and communicate with people.
All of these arguments may be somehow valid(正確的). Each one of us will choose to communicate in our own way. I do not have much time for emoticons. I tried to use one once and felt like I was stealing into a primary school class that I had no place being in. I’d rather let my words do the talking.
Friends, however, send me messages and e-mails full of emoticons. I have no problem with this, I don’t regard any of my friends as lazy or immature. It’s just a question of individuality.
【小題1】According to the article, emoticons are popular because_________.

A.most of them look funny
B.they are easy for lazy people to use
C.they add feeling and character to a communication
D.a(chǎn) reader cannot understand a message without them
【小題2】 Which of the following views would John Blumenthal agree with ?
A.Instant Message chatters are childish.
B.It’s enough to use language in digital communication.
C.Men never use emoticons.
D.There is an emoticon gene in everybody.
【小題3】From the text, we can conclude that the author________.
A.feels he has no difficulty using emoticons
B.thinks emoticons don’t suit him
C.encourage his friends to use emoticons
D.believes that emoticons are suitable for everyone
【小題4】What is the main point of the article ?
A.Advice on language used over the Internet.
B.The history of emoticons.
C.Arguments over the use of emoticons.
D.Reasons for the popularity of emoticons.

Norah had a cottage on a cliff(懸崖)above a big bay. In winter it could be very unpleasant because of strong winds and sea waves. In fact, when a gale was blowing, Norah and her husband got used to sleeping in a small room downstairs, because their bedroom upstairs, which faced the gales, had a very big window, and they were afraid that an extra violent wind might break it and blow pieces of broken glass over them.

Also, the salt wave from the sea put an end to many of the colorful plants Norah planted in her garden. She tried putting up a fence to protect them, but the wind just hit it, went up over the top and then down the other side, so in the end she filled the garden with trees and bushes that liked salt.

But most of the summer Norah enjoyed her cottage and garden very much. At weekends she could sit out-of-doors in the sun, looking at the beautiful view, with interesting ships and boats passing by, and she could very easily cycle down to the sea for a swim.

Now, Norah and her husband had plenty of friends and relations. In the summer lots of them used to come to enjoy the beautiful place, and in the end it really became quite annoying for the couple. When they were at home, they found friends and relations arriving, expecting to be given unlimited drinks and meals, and to sit in the sun for hours, talking as if Norah and her husband had nothing else to do but entertain and listen to them.

This went on for several years. Norah didn’t wish to appear rude by refusing to let her friends and relations in, but on the other hand, she was getting tired every summer.

Then one day Norah was complaining about this to her hairdresser while she was doing her hair. “You’re disturbed by too many uninvited guests, are you?” said the hairdresser. “Why don’t you try my way of escaping?”

“What’s that?” asked Norah.

“Well,” the hairdresser answered, “when the bell rings, I put on my coat and take my shopping bag. If it’s someone I don’t want to see, I say innocently, ‘I’m sorry, but I’ve got to go out.’ But…”

1.The underlined word “gale” can be replaced by _____.

A.wind             B.ship              C.sea              D.a(chǎn)nimal

2.We can infer that _____.

A.lots of friends cam to visit them in winter

B.few friends came to visit them in winter

C.friends came to visit them only for drinks and meals

D.Norah was a good cook

3.How did Norah go to the sea for a swim?

A.She went there by ship.                  B.She walked there.

C.She swam there.                        D.She went there by bicycle.

4.The hairdresser likely to continue to say “_____” in the end?

A.if I’m tired, I say ‘Sorry, can you come next time?’

B.if it’s someone I like to see, I say ‘How lucky! I’ve just come in!’

C.if it is fine that day, I say, ‘I’m tired of this, but I’ll show you around the place.’

D.if it’s someone I like to see, I say, ‘How happy to see you! But I was going shopping now .’

5.Which of the following is the best title?

A.A Good Place of Enjoying the Sea           B.A Visit to Norah

C.A clever Way of Escaping                 D.A Warm-hearted Couple

科目:高中英語 來源:2012-2013學(xué)年遼寧省分校高三上學(xué)期12月月考英語試卷(解析版) 題型:閱讀理解

It's not a new phenomenon, but have you noticed how many nouns are being used as verbs? We all use them, often without noticing what we're doing.

   I was arranging to meet someone for dinner last week, and I said “I’ll pencil it in my diary”, and my friend said “You can ink it in”, meaning that it was a firm arrangement not a tentative one!

   Many of these new verbs are linked to new technology. An obvious example is the word fax. We all got used to sending and receiving faxes, and then soon started talking about faxing something and promising we'd fax it immediately. Then along came email, and we were soon all emailing each other madly. How did we do without it? I can hardly imagine life without my daily emails.

   Email reminds me, of course, of my computer and its software, which has produced another

couple of new verbs. On my computer I can bookmark those pages from the World Wide Web that I think I'll want to look at again, thus saving all the effort of remembering their addresses and calling them up from scratch. I can do the same thing on my PC, but there I don't bookmark; I favorite—coming from “favorite pages”, so the verb is derived from an adjective not a noun.

  Now my children bought me a mobile phone, known simply as a mobile and I had to learn yet more new verbs. I can message someone, that is, I can leave a message for them on their phone. Or I can text them, write a few words suggesting when and where to meet, for example. How long will it be before I can mobile them, that is, phone them using my mobile? I haven’t heard that verb yet, but I’m sure I will soon. Perhaps I’ll start using it myself!

1. “I’ll pencil it in my diary” in the second paragraph probably means          .

       A. it was a firm arrangement

    B. it was an uncertain arrangement

       C. the arrangement should be written as a diary

D. he prefers a pencil to a pen

2.A website address can be easily found if it has been______.

       A. emailed    B. messaged    C. favorited      D. texted

3.Which of the following has not been used as a verb, yet?

       A. message    B. page        C. email         D. mobile

4.The best title for this passage is____.

       A. New Verbs from Nouns

 B. The Development of the English language

       C. New Technology and New words

   D. Technology and Language.

People who put a smiley face at the end of a message, in an attempt to show feeling, show no feeling. I wish there was a symbol for two fingers in the air.
I had some bad news this week. My manager informed me of this news via email. It was like hearing about the death of a loved one via pigeon. Bad news should only ever be delivered face to face or voice to voice.
We seem to celebrate our numerous methods of communication, but really there is no communication at all. I talk to my plants more than I talk to my neighbors, I get text messages that take me three hours to read because they’re written like this: “Hi, I ope you av a gr8 day. Call me La8tr.” I had an email from someone this week that read, “Da ut ov 2day are really annoying me!” Ut? I had to say this 20 times before I understood it. Youth has now become ut. Haven’t we taken enough from them—now we have to take their letters?
I had an email recently from a girl who used to live over the road from me as a child. She wrote, “Hi Shazia, howz u? Im sure u used 2 live across the road from me. We sumtimes played tennis 2 gever at the park and you was in your eliment. I am married now wif 3 daughters.” Then, to my horror, she ended the email with: “Im now teachin in Leeds. Luv Clare.”
Teaching? With English like this. It’s like saying you’re a train driver when you’ve never seen a train. It was like reading modern Morse code.
Getting bad news via email makes it seem so much worse than it actually is. Just a few lines, no emotion, no comfort, not really an explanation. Just a few cold hard words. It’s an excuse. Just write a few words and the problem of delivering it is no longer yours. A close friend recently told me she was very happy to announce she was getting married—and made the announcement by email. I don’t know how she didn’t fall off her chair with excitement while writing it. If you are really happy or really sad to announce something important, wouldn’t you like a human reaction? Some euphoria, elation, tears, a punch in the face?
I receive long text messages every day with information and explanations that I don’t bother reading. They’re boring, and annoy me. In the time it took someone to write me three laborious texts, they could have called, spoken to me, made some tea. People who put a smiley face at the end of a sentence, in an attempt to show feeling, show no feeling. I wish there was a symbol for two fingers in the air, because that’s the one I’d send back.
The telegram has been responsible for reporting world-shattering events when there were very few other options(選擇權(quán)). Now we have options, and people opt for the least humane one. My mum, in an attempt to get down with the ut of today, asked me to teach her to text. Now she constantly texts me in block capitals, so it looks as if she is still angry and annoyed with me after all these years.
People don’t even write by hand any more. My doctor prints out prescriptions from his computer; even my mechanic prints out a receipt. I get typed Christmas cards and my friends send me emails. I get very excited when hand-written letters come through my door, only because they rarely do.
When I was at school, the girls used to write letters to each other, even though we sat side by side and spoke to one another all day. I think it was a way of expressing private things we were afraid to say when we were 14 and too shy. We used to write things like, “You are my best friend, can’t wait to sit next to you in math.”
I miss the personal method of communication. Once the pen was mightier than the sword, now it seems the keyboard is mightier than the pen.

  1. 1.

    We can learn from paragraph 3 and paragraph 4 that the writer wants to say ________.

    1. A.
      the spelling mistakes in the messages make her very annoyed
    2. B.
      only writing letters will bring friends and neighbors much closer
    3. C.
      she talks to plants more because no one shares her joys and sorrows
    4. D.
      gestures and the pen can express a lot more than the cold keyboard
  2. 2.

    According to the writer, which of the following can support her opinion?

    1. A.
      She has been separated from all his classmates many years.
    2. B.
      No doctors write prescriptions by hand because of computers.
    3. C.
      In communication, we should write more letters than send messages.
    4. D.
      Less shy than school girls, boys rarely write letters to their friends.
  3. 3.

    According to the passage, we can conclude that ________.

    1. A.
      the writer is a person full of emotions and treasures friendship and affections
    2. B.
      the writer becomes excited when she gets priceless gifts from other people
    3. C.
      her classmates would write to each other because they couldn’t send messages
    4. D.
      people put a smiley face at the end of a message just to show they are happy
  4. 4.

    What message is conveyed in the passage?

    1. A.
      The writer wastes much time in reading many rubbish text messages every day.
    2. B.
      Few people can write letters well in modern society owing to texting messages.
    3. C.
