5.Emoji-a small digital image or icon used to express an idea,emotion,etc.in electronic communications,are everywhere.The little illustrated characters that are on Smartphone keyboards (33)are taking (take) over the world now.There are shoes with emoji on them,pants with emoji on them,emoji stickers,emoji yoga,and the list goes on and on with no sign of ending.As emoji spreads into our culture,I've actually heard the following question:Is emoji moving to replace the written word in communication?
To find out,I communicated by iMessage using only emoji for five days.That meant
(34)everytime someone sent me a text or I wanted to send a text,I could only use the popular tiny picture characters (35)to respond (respond) to or start a conversation.
I wasn't allowed to cheat by moving the conversation to Facebook or Twitter,etc.,but I could send a phone emoji to indicate to the recipient of my texts that they should call me instead; I could not encourage the phone call myself.I wanted to see if it was (36)easier (easy) than I expected it to be,yes,but I also wanted to see if I could influence (37)those I was communicating with to overthrow their use of text and start using emoji while talking to me.
(38)Communicating (communicate) with emoji was a way more difficult than I expected.There were people who were annoyed with me.There were people who gave up after a few back-and-forths.There were missed messages,(39)mixed (mix) messages,and messed up plans.There were people who immediately just called my phone to get the conversation (40)moving (move) faster.And there was my mother who doesn't have an iPhone and texts me often.
分析 本文主要講述的是一個科技產(chǎn)品emoji,即表情符號,是一款日本的產(chǎn)品.
解答 33.a(chǎn)re taking 考查時態(tài),意思是"這樣的一種科技產(chǎn)品正在全球風靡",take over本意是"接管,"這句話中有個"now",再結(jié)合文章的意味,所以用進行時態(tài),表示一種"正在進行"的狀態(tài).
34.every time 考查表示時間概念的連接詞.而文中有兩個空,表示"每次…",填的是"every time"表示""每當我要發(fā)信息,或者別人給我發(fā)信息,那我只能用這個程序.這題是有難度的,需要同學們對表示時間的連接詞非常的熟悉.
35.to respond 聯(lián)系上下文,結(jié)合句意:"我只能用這個程序去回應","use sth to do sth",這是固定搭配,所以用不定式.
36.easier 考查的形容詞比較級,我想知道是否比我期盼的更容易.
37.those 考查定語從句,意思是"我是否能夠影響那些和我交流的人",those是先行詞,后面省略了關(guān)系詞that或者who.
38.Communicating考查動名詞作主語,用這樣一種科技產(chǎn)品交流,比我期料的更困難.
39.mixed 考查分詞作定語,根據(jù)句意:混合的信息,用過去分詞mixed.
40.moving 考查get作為使役動詞的用法,使得"conversation能夠傳遞的更快",填moving.
點評 缺詞填空,解題時要抓住文章的脈絡(luò),一定要讀懂全文,弄清文章要表達的思想,注意前后句之間的關(guān)系.答題中,一定要認真分析,注意詞性,句型的分析,答完后再通讀一遍文章,看看所填單詞是不是語句通順,語意連貫.
