6.The Oxford dictionary has announced its word of the year.It's spelled…Actually,it isn't spelled at all,because it contains no letters,just a"face with tears of joy"emoji.
"The fact that English alone is proving not enough to meet the needs of 21st-century digital communication is a huge change,"says Caspar Grathwohl,president of Oxford Dictionaries.When one of his dictionary colleagues suggested using an emoji instead of the word"emoji","lightbulbs went off".Until recently,Grathwohl,who is 44,avoided using emojis altogether because he worried that he would look as if he"was trying to get in on teen culture"."I felt inauthentic.But I think there was a tipping point this year.It's now moved into the mainstream."
Some 76% of the UK adult population owns a smartphone,and of those,between 80% and 90% use emojis.Worldwide,six billion are sent daily.The"face with tears of joy"is the most used,representing 20% of all UK and 17% of all US emoji use.It has overtaken the standard smiley-face emoji in popularity,which may mean that emoji users are moving towards exaggeration or irony or fun,or that all this emoji use has brought everyone to a higher emotional plane.Even if you don't send emojis yourself,you will probably receive them.
How far do emojis function as a language?"There's a lot of prejudice against emojis,"Vyvyan Evans,a professor in linguistics at Bangor University,says."A lot of people think they are a backward step,but this misunderstands the nature of human communication."The picture is more complicated,with emojis offering both greater freedom and limitations than verbal language."Emoji isn't a language as such.They don't develop in the way that the natural language does.But they are working according to the same principles of communication as the spoken language.What is the value of an emoji?I think I can prove this with an ordinary sentence."There is a pause."I love you,"he says."Crikey(哎呀),I love you."He says it again.The first time I think he means it; the second time we both know he doesn't."The meaning is coming from extra-language factors,"he says."Emojis are performing the same function in digital speech."
Like any sort-of language,emoji is evolving."I do think they are subtle(微妙) and rich,"Grathwohl says."They can mean different things to different people.The fact that we are using emoji in combination to express more complex ideas and experiences is one of the most fun and playful parts of the whole words.Will emoji finally come to look something more like traditional language that we understand?"he asks."That would be interesting."
61.The sentence"lightbulbs went off"(Para 2)means thatC.
A.the president became embarrassed and annoyed
B.the president suddenly realized he was outdated
C.the suggestion was immediately adopted
D.the suggestion started a heated discussion
62.The"face with tears of joy"is more popular than smiley-face emoji,which means thatD.

B.smiley-face emoji is too traditional
C.adults have more sorrow than joy in their daily life
D.people like to express their emotions in a richer way

6.It was dangerously cold.A few drivers slipping and sliding off the road and back on again had cut deep ruts(车辙)in the mud.And the ruts became frozen solid.The drum of our truck's aging engine worried us.
Trees and bushes heavy with snow bent to form an icy tunnel.We inched along the scary route as Howard grasped the steering wheel(方向盘)tightly,trying to keep the truck in the ruts.We were now riding through a nightmare with no going back.I kept praying the truck would not quit.
However,the engine's coughing grew worse.We came to a bumping stop.Hot tears ran down my face.We noticed a small house off in the distance."I will go for help."Howard's words ruined my common sense and panic took over.We would take the children-we would walk to that house together!
But the snow was deep,and our two children,asleep in the cab,were too heavy to carry.My husband convinced me to let him go alone.If no one was home or they didn't answer the door,he would come back and we'd try to hike out to a main road.For now,it was safer in the truck.I wish I could say I have faith,but when he walked away,I was mad at the world.
It seemed as if hours had passed before I heard a familiar voice and a kind laugh of another man as they approached in the snow.The older fellow invited us to go up to the house where his wife was waiting.Two wide-awake kids moved across the seat,ready for adventure.Their voices and laughter carried in the cold night air.When we finally got close,a cheerful woman opened the door.Warm air and the smell of hot buttered popcorn and chocolate drew us in.
Relieved,my prayers were heard!
