【题目】根据短文理解,选择正确答案。
There are two types of people in the world. Although they have equal degree of health and wealth and other comforts of life, one becomes happy, the other becomes unhappy. This arises from the different ways in which they consider things, persons, events and the resulting effects upon their minds.
People who are to be happy fix their attention on the convenience of things. The pleasant parts of conversation, the well prepared dishes, the goodness of the wine, the fine weather. They enjoy all the cheerful things. Those who are to be unhappy think and speak only of the opposite things. Therefore, they are continually dissatisfied. By their remarks, they sour the pleasure of society, offend (hurt) many people, and make themselves disagreeable everywhere. If this turn of mind was founded in nature, such unhappy persons would be the more to be pitied. The intention of criticizing and being disliked is perhaps taken up by imitation. It grows into a habit, unknown to its possessors. The habit may be strong, but it may be cured when those who have it realize its bad effects on their interests and tastes. I hope this little warning may be of service to them, and help them change this habit.
Although in fact it is chiefly an act of the imagination, it has serious results in life since it brings on deep sorrow and bad luck. Those people offend many others; nobody loves them, and no one treats them with more than the most common politeness and respect. This frequently puts them in bad temper and draws them into arguments. If they want to get some advantages in social position or fortune(财), nobody wishes them success. Nor will anyone start a step or speak a word to favor their hopes. If they bring on themselves public objections(反对), no one will defend or excuse them, and many will join to criticize their wrong doings. These should change this bad habit and be pleased with what is pleasing, without worrying needlessly about themselves and others. If they do not, it will be good for others to avoid any contact(接触) with them. Otherwise, it can be unpleasing and sometimes very inconvenient, especially when one becomes mixed up in their quarrels.
(1)The phrase “sour the pleasure of society” most nearly means ________.
A.make others unhappy
B.have a good taste with social life
C.often blame others openly
D.enjoy the pleasure of life
(2)We can conclude from the passage that ________.
A.we should pity all such unhappy people
B.people can get rid of the habit of unhappiness
C.such unhappy people are dangerous to social life
D.unhappy people cannot understand happy persons
(3)If such unhappy persons insist on keeping the habit, the author suggests that people should ________.
A.show no respect and politeness to them
B.prevent any communication with them
C.persuade them to recognize the bad effects
D.quarrel with them until they realize the mistakes
(4)In this passage, the writer mainly ________.
A.describes two types of people
B.laughs at the unhappy people
C.suggests the unhappy people get rid of the habits of unhappiness
D.tells people how to be happy in life

【题目】Happy,angry,amazed—these are some of the emotions we like to express these days when we're sending a message on our smartphones.That's a quick way of telling someone how we're feeling.Yes,emojis have become a vital tool for communication.

The emoji was first invented in Japan in the late 1990s and the word "emoji" comes from the Japanese words for "picture" and "character".The number of different images has dramatically increased since then and now we have a picture for every mood or situation.

So now we are giving this new creation the visual "thumbs-up" but have you thought why we've become so addicted to using emojis? Professor Vyv Evans has written a book called The Emoji Code, saying "increasingly, what we're finding is that digital communication is taking over certain aspects of face-to-face interaction...one of the reasons why emojis are so popular is that they really do enable us to express our emotional selves more effectively."

Another advantage of emojis is that they are an international language—they don't use words but some pictures so they can be easily interpreted whatever your native language is. However, the emojis can sometimes be misinterpreted—if a friend sends you an emoji of a hammer, you may think he/she is angry when really he/she is saying he/she is clumsy!

Emojis are a good way for showing similar feelings. But as linguist(语言学家) Neil Cohn says, "To many, emojis are an exciting evolution of the way we communicate, but to others, they are a linguistic Armageddon(大决战)."It does show there is a lot more to our communication than words alone but does this mean the decline in traditional writing?

1How do emojis help people in communication?

A. They can interpret the foreign languages.

B. They will take the place of face-to-face interaction.

C. People can express their emotions effectively with emoijs.

D. People can express themselves clearly with emojis at any time.

2Which of the following words can replace the underlined "thumbs-up"in Paragraph 3?

A. doubt B. praise

C. ignorance D. attention

3What do you probably mean by sending your friend an emoji of B hammer?

A. You are awkward. B. You need a hammer.

C. He/She loses his/her temper. D. He/She should apologize to you.

4What is Neil Cohn's opinion on emojis?

A. They are not used by linguists.

B. They will take over the traditional writing.

C. They will become an international language.

D. They bring convenience and challenges to language.

【题目】Johannes Gutenberg was chosen to be the most important figure of the past millennium(千年)by the media. You may not be familiar with him.1Gutenberg is praised for having invented the printing press and therefore preparing the way for printing books.

He was born into a wealthy family in the city of Mainz,Germany.In 1428,he moved to Strasbourg and lived there for almost 20 years.2

Gutenberg used his skills in metalwork for the mass production of books.3That means that each copy of the Catholic Bible and all of its 73 books were painstakingly handwritten by penmen.Gutenberg fashioned a font(字体)of over 300 characters,far larger than the fonts of today.To make this possible,he invented the variable-width mold(模具)and perfected the mixture of materials used by type factories up to the present century.

4Between 1450 and 1455,while preparing to produce a large Latin Bible,Gutenberg is thought to have printed a number of smaller books,a calendar,and so on.The Bible of 42 Lines,the oldest surviving printed book in the Western world,was completed by August 15,1456.

The discovery of the modem printing press changed the way information was delivered.5

Even today in the computer age,we rely heavily on the printed word or text for instruction,information,and for the pleasure of reading literature.

A.Gutenberg made the world a much richer place.

B.But he has certainly influenced your life in some ways.

C.Gutenberg's idea was one of the greatest of all mankind.

D.By 1450,Gutenberg was back in Mainz at work on a printing press.

E.This invention was also responsible for educating the masses worldwide.

F.Before the spread of Gutenberg's idea,literature was primarily handwritten.

G.It was in Strasbourg that he probably made his first experiments with moveable type.
