A
Chinese Emoji (表情符号) Circles Globe
“Funny”, a made-in-China emoji, seems to have recently moved beyond china. Now, it is
more than an emoji, but a cultural expansion.
Reaching Global Markets
A series of “funny” emoji-based bolsters（抱枕）have attracted the attention of Japanese
customers. Even if one bolster is more than three times as expensive as in China, it doesn’t
kill their desires to buy it. One Japanese customer Miki said, “They are just so cute and
I bought three bolsters at one time. And every time I see them, my mood just brightens suddenly.”
A Japanese netizen Kiro Kara said, “My dad will send it whenever he doesn’t agree with someone
but he has to behave politely.”
Addition to Domestic（国内的）Social Media
One commonly seen online comment from Chinese netizens is, “Every time other people send
me the emoji, I feel very uncomfortable and consider myself as a fool.”
Released in 2013, the “funny” emoji is the updated version of its original one; “funny”
has a smiley mouth, two eyebrows and a naughty look. All these characteristics present users
a sense of satire (讽刺).
In Everyday Use Abroad
Earlier this year, one emoji from the Chinese basketball celebrity Yao Ming, who played
in USA, has been spread through the Middle East region. In a city in Egypt, Yao’s smiling
emoji has appeared in local traffic signs to remind people the road ahead is one-way.
As a new online language, emojis have been helping people express their views in a more

vivid and precise way. Also, it can help foreigners learn about Chinese culture. But how to
use “the fifth innovation in China” without hurting others and turn them into commercial
advantages still need answers.
21. Why do the bolsters attract Miki’s attention?
A. Because they are cheap. B. Because they are made in China.
C. Because they help lift the spirits. D. Because they help behave politely.
22. What can we know according to the text?
A. “Funny” emoji was created by Yao Ming.
B. “Funny” emoji helps foreigners understand Chinese culture.
C. “Funny” emoji-based bolsters sell better in China than in Japan.
D. “Funny” emoji is regarded as friendliness by most Chinese netizens.
23. What’s the author’s attitude towards the emoji mentioned in this text?

Why do Americans struggle with watching their weight, while the French, who consume rich
food, continue to stay thin? Now a research by Cornell University suggests how life style and
decisions about eating may affect weight. Researchers conclude that the French tend to stop
eating when they feel full. However, Americans tend to stop when their plate is empty or their
favorite TV show is over.
According to Dr. Joseph Mercola, a health expert, the French see eating as an important
part of their life style. They enjoy food and therefore spend a fairly long time at the table,
while Americans see eating as something to be squeezed between the other daily activities.
Mercola believes Americans lose the ability to sense when they are actually full. So they keep
eating long after the French would have stopped. In addition, he points out that Americans
drive to huge supermarkets to buy canned and frozen foods for the week. The French, instead,
tend to shop daily, walking to small shops and farmers’ markets where they have a choice of
fresh fruits, vegetables, and eggs as well as high-quality meats for each meal.
After a visit to the United States, Mireille Guiliano, author of French Women Don’t Get
Fat, decided to write about the importance of knowing when to stop rather than suggesting how

to avoid food. Today she continues to stay slim and rarely goes to the gym.
In spite of all these difference, evidence shows that recent life style changes may be
affecting French eating habits. Today the rate of obesity—or extreme overweight—among adults
is only 6%. However, as American fast food gains acceptance and the young reject older traditions,
the obesity rate among French children has reached 17%-and is growing.
24. In what way are the French difference from Americans according to Dr. Joseph Mercola?
A. They go shopping at supermarkets more frequently.
B. They squeeze eating between the other daily activities.
C. They regard eating as a key part of their life style.
D. They usually eat too much canned and frozen food.
25. This text is mainly about the relationship between .
A. Americans and the French. B. life style and obesity
C. Children and adults. D. Fast food and overweight
26. This text is mainly developed .
A. by contrast. B. by space C. by process D. by classification
27. Where does this text probably come from?
A. A TV interview. B. A food advertisement. C. A health report. D. A book review.

Here is a record of the discussion about AI (artificial intelligence) conducted by several
scientists:
Scientist A: I would say that we are quite a long way off developing the AI, though I do
think it will happen within the next thirty or forty years. We will probably remain in control
of technology and it will help us solve many of the world’s problems. However, no one really
knows what will happen if machines become more intelligent than humans. They may help us, ignore
us or destroy us. I tend to believe AI will have a positive influence on our future lives,
but whether that is true will be partly up to us.
Scientist B: I have to admit that the potential consequences of creating something that
can match or go beyond human intelligence frighten me. Even now, scientists are teaching
computers how to learn on their own. At some point in the near future, their intelligence may
well take off and develop at an ever- increasing speed. Human beings evolve biologically very

slowly and we would be quickly substituted. In the short term, there is the danger that robots
will take over millions of human jobs, creating a large underclass of unemployed people. This
could mean large-scale poverty and social unrest. In the long term machines might decide the
world would be better without humans.
Scientist C: I’m a member of the Campaign to Stop Killer Robots. Forget the movie image
of a terrifying Terminator stamping on human skulls and think of what’s happening right now:
military machines like drones, gun turrets and sentry robots are already being used to kill
with very little human input. The next step will be autonomous “murderbots” following orders
but finally deciding who to kill on their own. It seems clear to me that this would be extremely
dangerous for humans. We need to be very cautious indeed about what we ask machines to do.
28. What is Scientist B worried about?
A. AI technology will destroy the earth. B. Computers can’t think by themselves.
C. Robots will take the place of humans. D. Humans will be unhappy without machines.
29. What does the underlined word “this” in the last paragraph refer to?
A. I launched the campaign to Stop Killer Robots.
B. We forget the movie image of a terrifying Terminator.
C. “Murderbots” can’t decide by themselves.
D. “Murderbots” will be against humans’ orders.
30. Which statement is CORRECT according to the record?
A. Scientist A thinks AI technology will never develop.
B. The employment will be affected by AI technology in the future.
C. “Murderbots” will follow the orders of their manufacturers in the wars.
D. All the three scientists agree that AI technology will benefit human beings.
31. Who agree(s) AI has more negative aspects than positive aspects?
A. Scientist A.









B. Scientist B.
C. Scientists B & C. D. Scientists B & A.

Dodder is an unusual and unwanted plant that attacks other plants. Except for its flowers,
the plant looks like spaghetti, a kind of noodles in the shape of long thin pieces that look
like string when they are cooked. Its almost leafless, thread-like stems hang down on top of

- 6 -
other plants that dodder needs to stay alive. Dodder does not produce its own food. Instead,
it steals food from other plants. It feeds by sucking juices from the plant which is wrapped
around, often making its host very weak or even killing it.
Dodder can find other plants by their smell. When a young dodder plant starts growing,
it follows the smell of plants it prefers, like tomato plants, potato plants, or other farm
crops. Unlike most plants that usually grow in the direction of light or warmth, a dodder plant
will grow in the direction of, for example, tomato smell—if a tomato happens to be growing
nearby.
However, a young dodder plant must find a host plant quickly. It no longer needs its root
once it is attached to the host and wrapped around it. If it cannot catch a smell of a potential
host within a few days, it will dry up and vanish even if there is plenty of water around.
Once it finds a host, the young dodder plant will attach itself to it and start growing faster.
At that point the dodder plant will drop its root.
Dodder is thus a difficult weed to manage and a real headache for farmers. When it does
get out of hand, dodder can greatly reduce a farmer’s harvest or even destroy crops completely.
Before sowing their produce, especially farmers in warm parts of the world often check to make
sure no unwanted dodder seeds have mixed with their crop seeds. This is a good way to stop
dodder plants from making their way to a crop field secretly.
32. Why does the author mention spaghetti in the first paragraph?
A. To analyze the content of some food.
B. To introduce the topic of this passage.
C. To tell the usage of the dodder plants.
D. To describe the shape of dodder plants.
33. What does the underlined word “vanish” in the third paragraph mean?
A. invade.
C. escape.








B. grow.
D. disappear.
34. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. Dodder doesn’t produce its own food.
B. Dodder gives off smell to attract plants.
C. Dodder can affect farmers’ income.
