And "I’m happy" has becomea smiling face.Emojis have been warmly welcomed since they wereinvented in the 1990s in Japan. According to a survey of a mobile technology company, 6 billion emojis are used in text messages around the world every day. Last year,20 percent of all emojis used in the UK and 17 percent of those used in the US was the icon .It became the most widely-used icon in 2015.Emojis are now used as % new fo~ of expression", and one which can cross language barriers(障碍). "'Emojis are popular among millennials, who were born between late 1980s and early 2000s, because they welcome new technology and new things and they think emojis are ' flexible(灵活的) and show meanings beautifully'", president of Oxford Dictionaries told The Wall Street Joural.Since millennials became the biggest part in the American workforce(劳动), emojis have been more accepted in the workplace. For many people, the tiny pictures also show that the users are part of mainstream(主流) society. In the digital age, emojis are "how most people communicate and show their personality many times every day. "But not everyone thinks the use of emojis is a good thing. Jonathan Jones of T he Guardian said that the success of emojis is "a step back for humans", hurting people's ability to use languages."There are strict limits on what you can say with pictures--the written word is necessary to express your ideas and feelings to their highest level," he said.Do you feel or about emojis?( )41.

But have you ever wondered where exactly the fat goes?Some doctors think that fat is changed into heat and given off in the air. Others think the body burns it. Some even joke that someone comes and takes it. That’s why you always weigh less in the morning.Now a new study from Australia solves the mystery.“The correct answer is that most of the fat is bre athed out as CO2. It goes into thin air,” says the study.Scientists followed the atoms (原子) in 10 kilograms of fat as they are lost. They found that 8.4 of those kilograms are breathed out as CO2through the lungs (肺). The other weight, 1.6 kilograms, becomes water and leaves the body.“None of this is easy to understand because we can’t see the CO2we breathe out,” said the study’s lead expert.Does that mean you can lose more weight by breathing more? It is not as easy as you think. Breathing more than t he body’s metabolic rate (新陈代谢速度) can make you uncomfortable. You may feel dizzy (眩晕的) and become unable to see, move or feel, according to the study.So how can people lose weight healthily? The key is to eat less and move more. You may have heard this many times. During a day, a 70kg person breathes out about 200g of CO2. So if the same person wants to lose weight, he or she can do some light exercise, for example, walking fast. This can help lose 240g of CO2.46. Where is the new study from?A. Japan.B. Australia.C. Canada.D. America.47. According to the new study, where does our fat go when we exercise a lot?A. The body burns it.B. Someone comes and takes it.C.

They will lose weight healthily.B. They will feel comfortable.C. They may become unable to move.D. They may become healthier.49. Which of the following is the best way to lose weight?A. Sitting still and breathing more.B. Sleeping a lot and breathing more.C. Eating less and exercising more.D. Eating more and doing some light exercise.50. The passage mainly tells us __________.A. where fat goes when we exerciseB. why we can lose weight healthilyC. how we should do some exerciseD. what we should do to burn fatCA man in Pakistan is now working to help children get an education. When he was a child, he did not go to school because he was too poor.It is reported that Pakistan has 25 million children who do not go to school. That is the second highest number in the world. Only Nigeria has more. Many Pakistani children must work to support their families.Mohammad Ayub was once one of those children. He is now a firefighter. He also manages a small school. VOA recently visited the school in the capital Islamabad.Ayub started with just one student in 1982. He saw a boy cleaning cars for days. He asked him, “Why don’t you go to school?” The boy answered that h is parents were dead and he had to work to help support his five brothers and three sisters.Ayub was also an orphan and he, too, had to work to help support his five brothers and three sisters. He said, “When my father died, everyone who came to the funer al said they were sorry, but no one helped.” He sold newspapers and did other work to earn enough money to pay school fees for his brothers and sisters.Ayub wanted to help the young boy who washed cars, but he did not have enough money to pay the boy’s sc hool fees. _________________________________________.Today, Ayub teaches many children at his school in a public park. Some of the children attend other schools in the morning, but come to Ayub in the afternoon to get help with their homework.Ayub has helped a large number of poor children since he began teaching. Many of them come from very poor areas near the park.Ayub said, “I used to argue with kids who worked ‘Why are you washing someone’s dishes or their clothes? Why don’t you study?’”One of the children he advised to attend classes was Farhat Abbas. Ayub found him working with his friends about 12 years ago. “He followed us back home. He told our parents he wanted to teach us and asked them to send us to his school,” Abbas said.Today, Abbas is taking classes at a college and is helping Ayub.Many children are out of school, and those who do attend classes often get a poor education.

Burton is one of Europe’s oldest wildlife parks. Here you can see wild animals from all over the world –and they’re not in cages. Before we start, we have some information for the animal’s safety and for your own. First, please stay in your car at all times. If there is an emergency (紧急情况) or your car breaks down, please use your horn (喇叭) and lights and a person will come and help you. If you would like to stop, please do so on the left side of the road, so the traffic will pass on the right.Please don’t feed the animals. Our animals are fed on special diets and your food could make them ill or even kill them.We’re starting our tour with some of Burton’s most interesting animals, our four white rhinos (犀牛) from South Africa. The white rhino doesn’t get its name from its colour; the African word white means wild. The white rhino has a wide mouth and it helps the animal to eat grass. Sadly, there are very few white rhinos left because humans hunt them for their valuable horns (角). They can be made into things like handles (柄，把手) for knives.43. Who is the speaker?A. A guide.B. A tourist.C. A climber.D. A chairperson.44. Which sentence is TRUE about Burton?A. It’s a new wildlife parkB. Animals in Burton are kept in cages.C. Traffic there keeps to the left.D.

A dolphin with a weight of 200kg to 250kg will eat 10kg to 25kg of fish every day. They like to swim with other dolphins and usually hunt in groups.Dolphins have very good hearing. They use it to find things under the water. Many scientists also believe dolphins can even talk to each other through a special whistle (哨声). People from different areas don’t speak the same language. Just like people, dolphins’ whistles ha ve many kinds. One day we may understand dolphins’ whistles, and then they will be able to tell us about themselves.Dolphins live in the sea, but they are not a kind of fish and they don’t lay eggs. They have babies in the same way as cows and cats do, and give their babies milk. A female dolphin has a baby every two to three years.Dolphins are very friendly. Sadly, there are not many kinds of dolphins left. People killed them for many years for food and other things. Now it’s time to stop this and per haps there will be more of them in the years to come.46. If a dolphin weighs 240kg, how much of fish may it eat every day?A. 5kgB. 16kgC. 30kgD. 35kg47.

They also said that in the past 100 years, as the global (全球的) temperatures went up by 0.74 ºC, the temperature in North China has gone up by 1.4 ºC in only 50 years.China needs to take quick action to cut carbon dioxide emission (排放), because it’s the main reason for global warming. We plan to cut energy use by 20% and pollution emission by 10% in the 11th Five-Year Plan.Can you slow global warming? Sure! You and your family can take steps to cut the amount of carbon dioxide that is sent out into the air.Here are some pieces of advice to help you save the earth. Wear used clothes. Wearing your brother’s, sister’s or dad’s old T-shirts means you save the energy.Ride on the bus. Taking a bus saves a lot of oil every year.Open the window. Don’t use the air conditioner (空调), and let some fresh air in.When you have to use it, set the temperature higher in summer and lower in winter to save energy.Make small changes in your daily life.

Where can we most probably read the passage?A. In a newspaper.B.In a magazine.C.In a storybookD.On a noticeboardBFor the past six years, Jordan Romero has been running after a dream. That dream has taken him to the top of the world's highest mountains.The dream came true when the California teenager stepped onto the top of Mount Vinson Massif in Antarctica (南极洲).On that day--December 24,2011-Jordan became the youngest person to have climbed the tallest mountain on each of the seven continents (大陆). These mountains are known as the“seven summits(顶峰)”.It all began when Jordan was 9 years old. He was attracted by a school wall painting that showed the seven summits. Jordan had never climbed a mountain before. But he told his dad that he wanted to climb them ALL.In fact, Jordan's dad was an experienced mountaineer. From that day on, Jordan's parents trained him in top-level mountaineering and climbed every mountain with him. As part of“Team Jordan", they also became the first family to climb the seven summits together.Training to climb the highest mountains in the world involves a lot of hard work. But Jordan has always been very active--it's just the way he lives. Still, there were times when he thought,“Yeah. I want to be done." But he refused to give up. When others thought he was too young to climb Mount Everest, the world's highest mountain, he just kept thinking.“All you no-sayers, I'll show you." He sure did. When he was 13, he became the youngest person to reach Mount Everest.He encourages kids to“find your Everest.” That doesn't mean he wants everyone to start mountain climbing. He means find something you love doing and try your best to make it.“Anything is possible," Jordan says.16.What is Jordan's dream?A. To reach all the seven summits.B. To be the youngest mountaineer.C. To climb the mountains in Antarctica.D. To step onto the top of every mountain.17.What is Jordan’s parents’ opinion towards his dream?A. Interested.B. Supportive.C. Uncaring.D. Worried.18. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 5 mean?A. Jordan felt tired of the training.B. Jordan was happy with his lifestyle.C.Jordan didn't want to give up.D. Jordan thought he could make it.19. How old was Jordan when he clearly realized his dream?A. 6B. 9C. 13D. 1520. What is the best title for the passage?A. Practice Makes Perfect. C.Dreams Make a Difference.B. Ways to Reach the Top. D. The Bravest Mountaineer.CHave you ever imagined going inside of a video game? That dream may soon become a reality .It’s called the“metaverse”.The metaverse is a shared online 3D world which is considered as the future of the Internet. Instead of being on a computer, in the metaverse you might use a VR headset to enter a virtual world connecting all kinds of environments. It will feel real because the technology can simulate (模拟) our senses: sight, hearing, touch, and even smell.So, what can you do inside of the metaverse? Anything you want! You can meet other people wherever they are. Your location (位置) will no longer matter, said VOA News. In the metaverse, people would be connected at all times. So, if you are bored and can't find any friends to play basketball with, don't worry. Just jump into the metaverse and join a game.The metaverse doesn't just connect people. It creates a new space, full of places to explore. Are you tired of visiting the same beach every year? Forget Sanya. Meet your friends in the metaverse and go to a beach on the moon--or anywhere else you can imagine. Once you're there, you can do more than just swim in the water. You can fly over the sand or dive to the bottom of the sea. You can ride horses, or better yet, dinosaurs!Cathy Hackl, an expert in metaverse technology, said her son's first concert was inside of a video game.“Just because it happened in a video game, it didn't make it less real for him,”she said.Perhaps the metaverse will change our idea of what is real.21. How can people visit the metaverse?A. With a computer.B. With a mobile phone.C.With a VR headset.D.With a pair of 3D glasses.22. What does the underlined word “virtual" mean in the second paragraph?A.奇怪的B.虚拟的C.恐怖的D.疯狂的23. What at can people do in the metaverse?A.Taste delicious food.B. Connect with friends.C. Swim in real water.D. See living dinosaurs.24. What does Cathy Hackl think about the metaverse?A. It is a different kind of reality.B.It will hardly change our lives.C. It is harmful to the children.D. It still needs to be developed.25 What is the passage mainly about?A. A science study.B. A way of living.C. A computer game.D. Anew technology.三．短文填空It's important to do well in middle school. Do you want to be a great student? You'll need to do something. 26. C Have all of your necessary things with you.

Linda and NikoBWhen I was 16 years old, I made my first visit to the United States. It wasn't the first time that I had been abroad. Like most British children, I learned French at school and I had often been to France, so I was used to speaking a foreign language to people who didn't understand English. But when I went to America, I was really looking forward to having a nice easy holiday without any language problems.How wrong I was! The misunderstanding began at the airport. I was looking for a public telephone to give my friend Mary a ring and tell her that I had arrived. A friendly old man saw me looking like being lost and asked if he could help me." Yes," I said." I want to give my friend a ring."" Well, that's nice," he said." Are you getting married? But aren't you a bit young?"" Who is talking about marriage?" I replied." I just want to give my friend a ring to tell her I've arrived. Can you tell me where there's a phone box?"" Oh!" he said." There is a phone downstairs."When at last we did meet up, Mary explained the misunderstanding to me." Don't worry," she said to me." I had many difficulties at first. There are lots of words which the Americans use differently in meaning from usBritish. You'll soon get used to all the funny things they say. But most of the time British and American people can understand each other!"4. Where was white from?A. He was from America.B. He was from France.C. He was from Britain.D. He was from China.5.

It is said that if you take care of your body then you can surely be healthy. That is why our eyes should be given a lot of care. Natural eye care should be put in a number one place.There are several causes leading to poor eyesight like having not enough food, genes and aging(老化). Televisions, computers and reading are also the causes of having poor eyesight. If you happen to work in front of the computer, it is best to take a break every once in a while. Something dirty can cause redness and it will make you feel uncomfortable. It is bad for your eyes, too. If this happens, the best way is to clean your eyes by using cold water. You must also try your best to protect your eyes from harmful things. For example, sunglasses are not just for fashion but they can also serve as a great way to protect your eyesight from UV rays.Eating healthy food will do good to your eyesight. Remember that vitamins A, C and E are good for eyes. Try to eat food groups that have these vitamins. And you should do eye exercises which can protect your eyesight, too. If a person exercises regularly and eats the right kind of food, his eyes will stay in good condition for a long time.All above are natural ways of eye care that help us to keep healthy eyes. Being happy all the time can be helpful to a person's eyesight, too. In a word, eye care is very important, no matter how old a person is.8. is the most important way to protect our eyes.A. Nature eye careB. Taking medicineC. Seeing the doctorD. Being happy all the time9. All the following courses can lead to bad eyesight exceptA.agingB. heightC.readingD. computers10. What should you do if you have to work in front of the computer?A. Eat healthy food.B. Clean the eyes by using cold water.C. While a pile of sunglasses.D. Have a rest after working for a while.11. Which is the best title of the passage?A. Ways of Eye CareB. Ways of Eye ExercisesC. Ways of Being HappyD. Ways of Being HealthyDIf you want to become a fluent English speaker you should take some advice. There are four skills in learning English. They are reading, listening, speaking and writing. The most important thing you must remember is that if you want to improve your speaking and writing skills you should first master the skills of reading and listening.Read as much as you can. But your reading must be active. It means that you must think about the meaning of sentences, the meaning of unfamiliar words etc. There is no need for you to pay much attention to grammar or try to understand all the unfamiliar words you come across, but the fact that you see them for the first time and recognize them whenever you see them, for example, in other passages or books, is enough. It would be better to prepare a notebook for yourself so you can write down the important words or sentences in it.As for listening, there are two choices: besides reading, you can listen every day for about 30 minutes. You can only pay attention to your reading and become skilful at your reading, and then you can catch up on your listening. Since you have lots of inputs in your mind, you can easily guess what the speaker is going to say. This never means that you should not practice listening.For listening you can listen to cartoons or some movies that are specially made for children. Their languages are easy. Or, if you are goodat listening you can listen to VOA or BBC programs every day. Again the thing to remember is being active in listening and preferably taking some notes.If you follow this pieces of advice you are speaking and writing will improve automatically, and you can be sure that with a little effort, they will become perfect.12. According to the author, which should you improve first amount the four skills.A. Reading and listening.B. Reading and writing.C. Writing and speaking.D. Speaking and listening.13.

Some students ask for more food than they can eat and others often forget to turn off the lights when they leave the classroom. They say they can afford these things. But I don’t agree with them.Waste can bring a lot of problems. Although China is rich in some resources(资源), we are short of(缺乏) others, for example, fresh water(淡水). It is reported that we will have no coal(煤) or oil to use in 100 years. So if we go on wasting our resources,what can we use in the future and where can we move? Think about it. I think we should say no to the students who waste things every day. Everybody should stop wasting as soon as possible.In our everyday life, we can do many things to prevent waste from happening, for example, turn off the water taps(水龙头) when we finish washing, turn off the lights when we leave the classroom, try not to order more food than we need, and so on. Little by little, everything will be changed. Waste can be stopped one day, if we do our best.◆根据以上短文内容，然后从每题所给的四个选项中选择最佳选项。

阅读理解专练(二) 学校与教育(限时20分钟)A(2019届高三·石家庄质检)I dropped out of college after my freshman year.Three years later, I quit a deadend job and returned to college.I saw school as my way out.But I quickly found myself facing the same roadblocks that had caused me to quit before: I was confused about collegelevel algebra and a heavy workload of reading and writing assignments.Moreover, I was unsure of my career direction.I was ready to drop out again.Then a smartlydressed woman walked confidently to the front of my English composition class.“Look at you! Look at each and every one of you，”she said.“You're here to change your lives for the better.And you're going to make it！”I can't remember the rest of the speech, but it changed the course of my college career, and my life.Mrs.Smith didn't know me from any of the other 40 faces in her classroom, but I felt she was speaking directly to me.Having trouble keeping up with the workload? Break it down into small pieces, and set up a schedule that suits you.If college algebra is too difficult, drop back to introductory college math.As for English composition, she gave us writing assignments we could relate to.“Go for the best, kids.You're worth it，”she'd say.I graduated from that college and went on to get my bachelor's degrees.Today, as a college instructor, each fall when I stand in front of a new class, I think of Mrs.Smith and how much teachers can affect their students.She couldn't have known it when she gave that pep talk, but she made a huge difference to my life.语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。

The fourth week
From VOA learning English , this is the Health and Lifestyle report.
A new study has found that social media could be affecting the sleep of young adults. The study is a project of researchers at the University of Pittsburgh’s School of Medicine.They found that young people who often use social media are more likely to suffer from sleep disorders than those who use social media less. The researchers say doctors should ask young adults about their use of social media when treating sleep issues. “This is one of the first pieces of evidence that social media use really can impact your sleep,” said Jessica C. Levenson. She is a postdoctoral researcher in the university’s Department of Psychiatry. She was the lead author of a report on the study. The researchers set out to examine the connection between social media use and sleep among young adults. Levenson noted that these young adults are possibly the first “generation to grow up with social media.”The researchers wanted to find out how often young people used social media sites like Facebook. Twitter, Histogram , Snapshot , Credit and Tumbler. For the study , they gave questionnaires to nearly 1,800 adults, aged 19 to 32. On average , members of the study group used social media sites one hour a day. They also “visited various social media accounts 30 times per week.” Thirty percent of the study’s participants reported having serious problems with sleeping. Those people who used social media a lot were three times more likely to have a
sleep disorder. And those who spent the most time on social media were two times as likely to suffer from sleep disturbances. Levenson said the number of times a person visits social media is a better predictor of sleep problems than overall time spent on social media. If this is true, she adds, then practices that stop such behaviors may be most effective. Researchers say social media can influence sleep patterns in a number of ways.People can lose sleep by staying up too late looking at social media. Sensitive issues argued about on social media can cause “emotional, cognitive or physiological”excitement. Using an electronic device can interfere with a body’s natural sleep rhythms because of the light coming from cell phones or computer screens. The researchers note that in some cases, young adults who have a hard time sleeping may use social media to help them fall asleep. It may be that both of these hypotheses are true, says Brian A.Primack. He is director of the center for Research on Media, Technology and Health. He is also the study’s senior author. Primack says “difficulty sleeping may lead to increased use of social media, which may in turn lead to more sleeping problems. The cycle may be particularly problematic with social media. Many forms of social media involve interactive screen time that is stimulating and rewarding and for those reasons, can keep you awake.” Research published their findings in the journal Preventative Medicine.。
