2句意:有些富翁在變得有錢后還是關(guān)心錢。短語be concerned about表示關(guān)心,掛念;惦記。根據(jù)continue to可知,這里表示有錢人變得有錢后還是關(guān)心錢,故填be concerned about。

3句意:但是查爾斯格雷卻是一個不在乎萬貫家財?shù)娜恕?/span>turn one’s back on表示“不理睬;背棄”,根據(jù)后文中的give all his money away可知,他不重視自己的財產(chǎn)。再分析語境可知who have turned their backs on their millions為定語從句,先行詞為people,所以turn one’s back on中的one’s應(yīng)為their。故答案為turned their backs on。

4句意:然而,他厭倦了做一個擁有一切的人,而世界上很多人什么也沒有。根據(jù)后文中的give all his money away可知,他對自己的萬貫家財并不在意。再結(jié)合however可知查爾斯格雷對他的財產(chǎn)的態(tài)度是不在意的。be tired of表示“對于……感到厭倦”,聯(lián)系上下文可知時態(tài)為一般過去時,故答案為was tired of。

5句意:因而他做了一個決定,將他所有的錢都散盡。make the choice表示“做了這個決定”,to give all his money away作定語修飾choice,表示“散盡錢財?shù)臎Q定!甭(lián)系上下文可知時態(tài)為一般過去時,故答案為made the choice。

【題目】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 why many of us now add little pictures to our texts to brighten up someone’s mobile screen but we’re also using them as a quick way of telling someone how we’re feeling. Yes, emojis (表情符號) have become a popular 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 greatly increased since then and now we have a picture for nearly every mood or situation.

Why are emojis widely used today? Professor Vyv Evans says, “Increasingly, what we’re finding is that digital communication is replacing face-to-face talk in some ways. One of the reasons why emojis are so interesting is that they really do enable us to express our emotional selves much more effectively.”

Another advantage of emojis is that they are an international language—they don’t use words but tell a message with pictures so they can be easily understood whatever your native language is.

But as linguist (語言學(xué)家) Neil Cohn says, “To many, emojis are an exciting evolution (進(jìn)化) of the way we communicate; but to others, they are linguistic Armageddon.” It does show by using emojis, there is a lot more to our communication than words alone, but does this also mean that the traditional writing will die out one day?

1What is implied(暗示) in Paragraph 2?

A. The emoji was first invented in Japan.

B. The word “emoji” only means “picture” and “character”.

C. More and more pictures are used to express our mood today.

D. The number of emoji images will increase rapidly in the future.

2Why do people use emojis so widely?

A. Emojis can never be misunderstood.

B. Emojis are similar to some native languages.

C. Emojis make us communicate more effectively.

D. Emojis can replace face-to-face communication.

3What does the phrase “l(fā)inguistic Armageddon” mean?

A. The power of languages.

B. The beauty of languages.

C. The development of languages.

D. The disappearance of languages.

4What is the structure of the passage?

A. B.

C. D.

【題目】閱讀理解。

When should people be made to retire? 55? 65? Should there be a compulsory age limit?

Many old people work well into their 70s and 80s, running families, countries or corporations. Other people, however, despite being fit and highly talented, are forced to retire in their fifties or even earlier because of the regulations of a company or the nation. This essay will examine whether people should be allowed to continue working as long as they want or whether they should be encouraged to retire at a particular stage.

Some people think there are several arguments for allowing older people to continue working as long as they are able. First of all, older employees have a large amount of knowledge and experience which can be lost to a business or organization if they are made to retire. A second point is that older employees are often extremely loyal employees and are more willing to carry out company policies than younger less committed staff. However, a more important point is regarding the attitudes in society to old people. To force someone to resign or retire at 60 indicates that the society does not value the input of these people and that their useful life is over. Age is irrelevant to a working life, surely if older employees are told they cannot work after 60, this is age discrimination. That they become old does not necessarily mean they are going to be sick. Old people could be more aware, experienced and committed than some youngsters.

Others, however, think that allowing older people to work indefinitely is not a good policy. Age alone is no guarantee of ability. Old people are only ambitious workaholics who are too selfish and selfcentered to believe that a younger person could do better. Actually, many younger employees have more experience or skills than older staff, who may have been stuck in one area or unit for most of their working lives. Having compulsory retirement allows new ideas in an organization. In addition, without age limits, however, many people would continue to work purely because they did not have any other plans or roles. A third point of view is that older people should be rewarded by society for their life's labor by being given generous pensions and the freedom to enjoy their leisure. We now have youngsters who can't find jobs because old people are choosing not to retire. Old people are not retiring because this new generation of “old people” think they will never die due to modern advances in medicine.

With many young people unemployed or frustrated in lowlevel positions, there are often calls to compulsorily retire older workers. However, this can affect the older individual's freedom and right to work and can deprive (剝奪) society of valuable experience and insights. I feel that giving workers more flexibility and choice over their retirement age will benefit society and the individual.

【1】What is the purpose of this passage?

A.To explain the compulsory age limit.

B.To discuss the retirement age.

C.To examine people's working life.

D.To introduce a particular stage.

【2】Which of the following is NOT a reason for allowing old people to continue working according to the passage?

A.Their contributions should be valued.

B.Their experience should be made use of.

C.They can help the youngsters.

D.They are loyal employees.

【3】It can be inferred in the fourth paragraph that ________.

A.the young people have more creative spirits

B.modern advances in medicine make old people never die

C.pensions and freedom are not given to the old now

D.old people believe that a younger person could do better

【4】The passage is arranged as follows:________.
