　　You’re never too young to start being charitable.It doesn’t have to be a grand gesture， just something as simple as a lemonade stand.
But sometimes even the smallest gestures can end up becoming a rather big deal.And one perfect example of this is a neighbourhood lemonade stand in Peoria， Illinois， which really took off.
It started out when a group of neighbourhood kids in the Knolls neighbourhood got together in order to participate in a fund-raiser to help raise money for the St.Jude Children’s Research Hospital.The children got busy selling lemonade and other treats all throughout the weekend， and their hard work paid off.In total， they were able to make more than $3，500 for the good cause.
But this charitable lemonade stand isn’t in its first year.In fact， it has been several years in the making， all because of one mom’s actions.Suzanne Miller has been participating in charity races for the hospital for years， and because of her actions， her kids wanted to join in her fund-raising.Hence the lemonade stand was started.
As Miller shared with WMBD，“The first year we did it we raised $220， and we thought that was amazing.Each year， it got bigger and bigger.”
But it’s not just the profits that have increased over the years， so have the volunteers.This year， Miller’s kids were joined by her neighbour Leslie Rothan’s three kids in running the lemonade stand.
Miller posted to Facebook，“The Lemonade Stand for St.Jude that our neighbours hosted this weekend raised $3，515 and donated it to my run goal.I CANNOT find the words to tell you how I feel.It’s absolutely incredible to celebrate this way.”
According to WMBD， Leslie Rothan added，“As a parent， it really makes you filled with joy.It was their idea， obviously we wanted to support and encourage them to be as successful as possible， but it really helped them to realise what they were doing and how that money could really help save children.”
24.What does the author intend to show by giving the example of the kids？
A.Young kids can be better volunteers.
B.Charity should begin at a young age.
C.Small acts of kindness make a big difference.
D.A lemonade stand is a new choice for charity.
25.What led to the kids’ participating in fund-raising？
A.Their friends’ proposal.
B.Their teachers’ encouragement.
C.The influence from Suzanne Miller.
D.The demand from the local hospital.
26.How did Suzanne Miller feel according to her Facebook post？
A.Moved and excited. B.Proud and satisfied.
C.Grateful and delighted. D.Surprised and confused.
27.Which is the most suitable title for the text？
A.Kids Start a Lemonade Stand to Raise for Charity
B.Mother Sells Lemonade Together with Her Kids
C.A Lemonade Stand Was Started by Some Kids
D.Selling Lemonade Is a New Way to Support Charity
C
　　Communication is more than just words：it involves verbal and nonverbal signals that convey meaning and emotions.Some public-speaking coaches seek to downplay the importance of language.They may cite research published in 1967 by Professor Albert Mehrabian and claim that only 7 percent of the effectiveness of communication is down to language， while 38 percent depends on tone of voice and 55 percent comes from body language.This has led coaches to focus excessively on developing a speaking style of confidence， charisma， etc.， and not worry so much about the words.
Unfortunately， this is a complete misinterpretation of what Mehrabian found.His experiments were devoted primarily to discovering how emotion was communicated.So for example， he would test what would happen if someone said “That’s nice，” but said so in an angry tone of voice， or with threatening body language.Sure enough， in those circumstances， the words don’t count for much.But it is absurd to apply this to speaking overall （and Mehrabian is so sick of being misapplied that his website contains a bolded paragraph begging people not to do this）.
Yes， communicating emotion is important， and for that aspect of a talk， one’s tone of voice and body language do indeed matter a great deal.But the whole substance of a talk depends crucially on words.It’s the words that tell a story， build an idea， explain the complex， make a reasoned case， or provide a compelling call to action.So， if you hear someone tell you that body language matters more than verbal language in public speaking， please know that they are misinterpreting the science.（Or for fun， you could just ask them to repeat their point purely with gestures！）
The fact that we can transfer ideas with language is why human-to-human speaking matters.It is how our worldviews are built and shaped.Our ideas make us who we are.And speakers who have figured out how to spread their ideas into others’ minds are able to create ripple effects of untold consequence.
28.What does the underlined word “downplay” in the first paragraph mean？
A.Reduce. B.Confirm.
C.Highlight. D.Understand.
29.What did Professor Albert Mehrabian’s study in 1967 stress？
A.The function of language. B.The importance of body language.
C.What the role of tone of voice is. D.How to have effective communication.
30.How does Albert Mehrabian feel about people’s interpretation of his study？
A.Satisfied. B.Confused.
C.Surprised. D.Disappointed.
31.What message does the author try to convey in the passage？
A.It is language that matters. B.Actions speak louder than words.
C.Communicating emotion is important. D.Body language is more important than words.
D
　　Bad news for people who frequently use the emoji： It is no longer cool.
In recent weeks， two generations have been debating in videos and comments on TikTok over the symbols of millennial （千禧一代） culture that are now considered uncool by Generation Z（Gen Z）.The list includes the popular laughing crying emoji that some millennials， myself included， use hundreds of times a day， or more.
“Face with Tears of Joy，” the official name for the laughing crying emoji， is currently the most-used emoji on Emojitracker， a website that shows real-time emoji use on Twitter.
“What’s wrong with the laughing emoji？” one user asked in a TikTok comment.Another responded：“It’s so off.” On a different video of a woman saying she’s cut back on using it after learning kids don’t.
“I use everything but the laughing emoji，” 21-year-old Walid Mohammed told CNN Business.“I stopped using it a while back because I saw older people using it， like my mom， my older sisters and just older people in general.”
For many Gen Zers — born after 1996， the emoji has become a popular replacement for conveying laughter.It’s the visual version of the slang phrase “I’m dead” or “I’m dying”， which means something is very funny.Other acceptable choices： the emoji （officially called “Loudly Crying Face”）， or just writing “lol （laughing out loud）” or “lmao”.
“Tears of Joy was a victim of its own success，” said Gretchen McCulloch， the author of Because Internet： Understanding the New Rules of Language. “If you indicate digital laughter for years and years in the same way， it starts to feel insincere. ...It gets worn out through continued use，” she said.That’s why Gen Zers may be looking to fresh and novel ways to signal they’re laughing through different ways.
Older generations tend to use emojis literally （字面地） while younger people get more creative， said Jeremy Burge， the chief emoji officer of Emojipedia， an emoji dictionary website.Gen Zers told CNN Business they like to assign their own meanings to emoji， which then spreads to others， often through social media.
32.What is the author’s attitude to the laughing crying emoji？
A.Curious. B.Favourable.
C.Negative. D.Confused.
33.What message does the author try to convey by giving some examples of Gen Zers？
A.They are fond of using emojis. B.They use emojis very creatively.
C.The laughing crying emoji is very popular. D.The laughing crying emoji is losing its charm.
34.What can we infer about 21-year-old Walid Mohammed？
A.He is trying to be different. B.He is seeking to be perfect.
C.He likes joining the crowd. D.He likes following the fashion.
35.What’s the problem with “tears of joy” according to Gretchen McCulloch？
A.It isn’t funny enough. B.It isn’t creative enough.
C.It has been used too much. D.It hasn’t received much attention.

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Every time you make an introduction， presentation or proposal to try to influence anyone to do anything， your audience’s first impression will be fully formed in less than three minutes.　36　 It’s not your fault.That’s just how people are.
For the last two decades the human attention span has been steadily decreasing.Now， a recent Microsoft study puts the average human attention span at 8.2 seconds.A goldfish is at 9 seconds.
It’s not that we’re all absent-minded.　37　 In fact， people today focus more intensely and efficiently.They have zero tolerance for long and boring explanations.They will tune you out in an 8.2-second instant.
Audiences today simply want valuable information.　38　 It doesn’t matter if you’re presenting to the board of directors of a major research hospital or the PTA at the local high school.
To succeed， you must be able to capture and hold your audience’s attention with only the quality and flow of your information.　39　 Actually， you have only about three minutes.And I call this the 3-Minute Rule.
A typical introduction to a business book can be more than fourteen pages long.Yet most readers decide if they are going to read a new book in the first six pages or less， which， no surprise， takes about three minutes to read.
　40　 Everything of value about your company， idea， product， or service can and must be conveyed clearly， briefly， and accurately in three minutes or less.In the first three minutes， you need to vividly illustrate the most valuable elements of your proposal， capture and maintain your audience’s attention， and — most important — create engagement.
A.It’s actually just the opposite.
B.They want it quick， clear， and brief.
C.That yes or no is already in their heads.
D.What matters is how you get your ideas across.
E.Then how should we define the 3-Minute Rule？
F.What should we do to win friends and influence people？
G.The length of your time should be neither too long nor too short.

Sally had longed to become a dancer since three.However， a terrible car accident made that ambition nearly come to an end overnight in 2011.Sally， then a 15-year-old high school student in California was injured severely in the accident that left her paralyzed （瘫痪的） from the waist down.For most people， that would have dashed any hope of a dancing career.But for Sally， it was just the beginning of new life.Instead of being a barrier， her wheelchair made her more courageous.“I wanted to prove to my community and myself that I was still ‘normal’，”she said with a determined look，“Whatever normal meant.”
In her eyes， normal meant dancing， so Sally did it in her wheelchair right alongside her nondisabled high school dance team.“Half of my body was taken away from me， and I have to move it with my hands，” Sally said.“It definitely took a lot of learning and patience.”
After graduation， Sally expanded her dance network to include women who had the same situation as her.She met people online who had suffered various spinal cord injuries （脊髓损伤）， and invited them to dance with her by sharing her determination.It was such an amazing experience. Hoping to reach more people in a larger city， Sally moved to Los Angeles in 2016 and formed a team of dancers with disabilities called DREAM.“I want to show that dance is dance， whether you’re walking or you’re rolling.”
In Sally’s dancing team， there was a girl Ella aged 12， who had been feeling depressed since the terrible accident.Having known about the girl’s situation， Sally made efforts to seek every chance to help the little girl find back the confidence to live.Thanks to Sally’s continuous efforts， the little girl recovered physically and mentally day by day.The other day， an invitation to a national dancing competition arrived.After a heated discussion， they reached an agreement that they would recommend Ella to the competition on behalf of the team.

W：It is against the law to buy cigarettes or tobacco if you’re under 16.
M：That’s a good law. Most countries have many teens that smoke.
W：Yes， it has actually become a serious social problem for us here. Okay， the biggest thing you’ll need to watch out for is our traffic， as it’s quite different from that in other countries. You should be careful when crossing the road， as the traffic moves on the left side of the road here. Always use the crossing for walking.
M：Yes， it’s really unique！
W：And don’t take any chances when crossing the road. I think the last thing you should be aware of is littering. It is against the law to throw away rubbish on the streets or in other public places. Whenever you have something to throw away， just put it in one of the litter bins along the road， or just put it in your pocket and throw it away at home.
M：Thanks so much for telling me all this.

Hello， everyone. Today， I’m going to share with you a little about the kinds of foods that English people eat.
　　A traditional English breakfast consists of eggs， fried bread， mushrooms， bacon， tomatoes and baked beans， but most English people today prefer a breakfast of hot or cold grain， juice， and a warm drink of either tea or coffee.
The English lunch is normally eaten between 12：00 noon and 1：30 pm， and most often consists of a sandwich. Along with the sandwich， an English person might have a bag of potato chips， fruit or biscuits. A glass of beer might also be added to lunch if the person eats in one of the many pubs； otherwise， a tea or coffee. Fish and chips， often wrapped in a piece of paper， are still a favourite among English diners.
The afternoon tea is simply a time to snack on a bag of potato chips or a few biscuits， and drink a quick cup of tea or coffee. Tiny cakes and sweets are often eaten as well. Tea is also an old-fashioned term for dinner； some English people still say “tea” when they mean the last main meal of the day.

语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。交流包括语言交流和非语言交流。作者认为，虽然身体语言很重要，但在沟通交流中起决定性作用的还是文字和语言。
28.A　词义猜测题。根据下文可知，这些公共演讲教练所引用的数据表明：只有7％的沟通效果取决于语言，这显然是在“贬低”语言的重要性。
29.B　细节理解题。根据第一段可知，Albert Mehrabian教授的研究表明：沟通交流的效果有高达55％是借助于身体语言来完成的（占比最高）。由此可知，他的研究强调了身体语言的重要性。
30.D　推理判断题。根据第二段可知，很多人都断章取义，误读了Albert Mehrabian教授的研究结果，对此他本人非常失望。
31.A　主旨大意题。综合全文可知，本文先介绍了Albert Mehrabian教授的一项研究，然后澄清了人们对于该研究结果的误读，最后表明自己的观点——沟通交流中最重要的还是语言文字。
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。多年来笑哭表情符号一直位居“最受欢迎的表情符号”排行榜首位，可是，如今它被越来越多的“Z世代”所抛弃。
32.B　观点态度题。根据第二段可知，作者每天要使用笑哭表情符号数百次，这说明他很喜欢这一符号。
33.D　细节理解题。根据第四、五段可知，作者列举了几个“Z世代”年轻人，主要说明他们普遍不愿意使用曾经辉煌一时的笑哭表情符号。由此可推知，这一表情符号失去了它的魅力。
34.A　推理判断题。根据第五段可知，Walid Mohammed之所以不再使用笑哭表情符号，是因为他看到周围年龄大的人都在用它。这说明他追求标新立异，不喜欢模仿他人。
35.C　细节理解题。根据倒数第二段可知，在Gretchen McCulloch看来，笑哭表情符号被有些人抛弃的主要原因在于它被使用得太多了。
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了三分钟法则——我们无论推销任何产品、服务或观点，都必须在三分钟内完成。
36.C　上句说“不到三分钟听众或观众就会形成对你的印象”，C项是对此意的进一步补充说明。
37.A　上句说“我们人类并非心不在焉”，下句说“其实我们的关注更深入和高效”，A项承上启下，符合语境。
38.B　上句指出“今天的听众或观众需要的是有价值的信息”，B项进一步说明“人们还需要这些信息快捷、清晰和简单”。
39.G　下句说“你只有大约三分钟的时间”，这是对G项的确切解释。
40.E　本段是对“三分钟法则”的详细阐述，因此E项适合作本段的主题句。
第三部分
语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。Ashis Dhakal 18岁时从尼泊尔来到美国，他用自己的实际行动帮助身边生活困难的人。
41.A　下文的made the transition指“摆脱贫困”，因此这些人应该是幸运的。
42.C　已经摆脱贫困的这些人帮助的是那些依然在贫困中挣扎的人。
43.A　Ashis Dhakal 18岁时从尼泊尔的难民营来到美国的犹他州。
44.D　根据下文可知，Ashis Dhakal将自己来到美国看作是一个帮助他人的机会。
45.B　Ashis Dhakal决定继续帮助他人，将自己的好运传递给周围的人。
46.B　几年前Ashis Dhakal在肯德基工作时，遇见了一个无家可归的人。
47.C　当Ashis Dhakal了解了那个人的经历后，他被激励去帮助他人。
48.A　当Ashis Dhakal与那个人交谈时，对方一个最明显的需求是干净的衣服。
49.D　由于Ashis Dhakal大脑中有了这一想法（无家可归的人需要干净的衣服），因此他在2019年发起了募集衣服的活动。
50.C　当Ashis Dhakal小的时候，他正在经历贫困。go through表示“经历”。
51.D　Ashis Dhakal认为过去的自己和现在身处困境的那些人处境完全一样。in the same shoes是一个习惯表达，表示“处境相同”。
52.A　Ashis Dhakal认为自己现在生活不错，可是周围很多孩子依然身处困境。suffer表示“遭受痛苦”。
53.B　Ashis Dhakal希望自己先帮助周围贫困的孩子，然后他们有能力之后可以再回馈社区。
54.C　下文作者引用了一句名言，作者认为这句话充满智慧。
55.B　根据上文可知，Ashis Dhakal当然愿意竭尽所能去帮助周围有需要的人。
语篇解读：本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要报道了农历新年（即春节）被正式列为联合国会议日历中的浮动节假日。
56.officially　考查词形转换。本空后面是动词listed，因此用一个副词来修饰它。
57.which　考查定语从句。本空前面的the Lunar New Year为先行词，这里是由关系代词which引导的非限制性定语从句。
58.holding　考查非谓语动词。avoid doing sth是固定用法，因此用动词-ing形式。
59.to be taken　考查非谓语动词。encourage sb to do sth是固定用法，另外这里表示“被考虑”，因此用动词不定式的被动式。
60.as　考查介词。这里表示春节作为一个传统节日，因此用介词as。
61.wishes　考查名词复数。wish一词通常用复数形式来表达“祝愿； 祝福”之意。
62.carries　考查动词的时态。这里在陈述一个现存的客观事实，因此用一般现在时。
63.a　考查冠词。这里表示“一个”全国性的假日，因此用不定冠词a。
64.and　考查连词。这里serves as ...和aims to ...是两个并列谓语，因此用并列连词and来连接它们。
65.promoted　考查非谓语动词。这里表示“被联合国倡导和推广的多样性和包容性价值观”，因此用表达被动概念的过去分词来作后置定语。

Dear Peter，
Glad to hear that you will have an interview in the hosting contest of your school.Yes， you are right.Body language really matters when it comes to communicating with others.The following are my suggestions.
First of all， it’s a good idea to keep smiling.A smile on your face is not only the best facial expression but also the most beautiful language.Secondly， you need to sit straight.This will make you appear confident and energetic.Finally， don’t forget to maintain eye contact.It’s bad manners not to look someone in the eye when you are speaking to them.
Wish you all the success in the coming interview！ Good luck！
Yours，
Li Hua

tickets for the first-class cabin.
W：Let me check. Yes， there are.
（Text 2）
M：I’ll leave for London next Monday， and then I’ll fly to Boston from
there. Do you have any vacation plans， Michelle？
W：Mike and I will travel to Beijing to see my parents for the Spring
Festival.
（Text 3）
W：Have you seen the news on TV that there’s been serious flooding in
the South？

W：What a pity！ I know you’ve been looking forward to it for months.
（Text 4）
W：Are you ready to place your order？
M：I haven’t decided yet. Can you give me some advice？
W：Sure！ Our special today is the fried fish with rice.
M：The fish sounds nice. Can I get that with a side salad？
（Text 5）
W：Is the River Thames still polluted？
M：It certainly used to be. I remember it used to smell awful， and if you
fell in， you had to be taken to hospital.
W：That sounds terrible！
M：But in the 1960s， they cleaned it up， and in fact it’s now one of the
cleanest city rivers in the UK.
（Text 6）
W：Hello， Jack！ It’s Emily.
M：Hi， Emily！ How has your dress designing been going in London？

W：Not really. I’m telling the truth. I think most of my friends got home
late tonight.
M：Haven’t I asked you to call if you’re going to be home late？

alcohol， as well as friends from buying it for them.
M：Ah， yes. It’s the same in our country. What about smoking？
W：It is against the law to buy cigarettes or tobacco if you’re under 16.
M：That’s a good law. Most countries have many teens that smoke.
W：Yes， it has actually become a serious social problem for us here.
Okay， the biggest thing you’ll need to watch out for is our traffic， as it’s
quite different from that in other countries. You should be careful when
crossing the road， as the traffic moves on the left side of the road here.
Always use the crossing for walking.
M：Yes， it’s really unique！
W：And don’t take any chances when crossing the road. I think the last
thing you should be aware of is littering. It is against the law to throw away
rubbish on the streets or in other public places. Whenever you have
something to throw away， just put it in one of the litter bins along the
road， or just put it in your pocket and throw it away at home.
M：Thanks so much for telling me all this.

Hello， everyone. Today， I’m going to share with you a little about
the kinds of foods that English people eat.
A traditional English breakfast consists of eggs， fried bread，
mushrooms， bacon， tomatoes and baked beans， but most English
people today prefer a breakfast of hot or cold grain， juice， and a warm
drink of either tea or coffee.
The English lunch is normally eaten between 12：00 noon and 1：30
pm， and most often consists of a sandwich. Along with the sandwich，
an English person might have a bag of potato chips， fruit or biscuits. A
glass of beer might also be added to lunch if the person eats in one of the
many pubs； otherwise， a tea or coffee. Fish and chips， often wrapped
in a piece of paper， are still a favourite among English diners.
The afternoon tea is simply a time to snack on a bag of potato chips or
a few biscuits， and drink a quick cup of tea or coffee. Tiny cakes and
sweets are often eaten as well. Tea is also an old-fashioned term for
dinner； some English people still say “tea” when they mean the last
main meal of the day.

　　You’re never too young to start being charitable.It doesn’t have to be a
grand gesture， just something as simple as a lemonade stand.
But sometimes even the smallest gestures can end up becoming a
rather big deal.And one perfect example of this is a neighbourhood
lemonade stand in Peoria， Illinois， which really took off.
It started out when a group of neighbourhood kids in the Knolls
neighbourhood got together in order to participate in a fund-raiser to help
raise money for the St.Jude Children’s Research Hospital.The children got
busy selling lemonade and other treats all throughout the weekend， and
their hard work paid off.In total， they were able to make more than $3，
500 for the good cause.
But this charitable lemonade stand isn’t in its first year.In fact， it has
been several years in the making， all because of one mom’s
actions.Suzanne Miller has been participating in charity races for the
hospital for years， and because of her actions， her kids wanted to join in
her fund-raising.Hence the lemonade stand was started.
As Miller shared with WMBD，“The first year we did it we raised
$220， and we thought that was amazing.Each year， it got bigger and
bigger.”
But it’s not just the profits that have increased over the years， so
have the volunteers.This year， Miller’s kids were joined by her neighbour
Leslie Rothan’s three kids in running the lemonade stand.
Miller posted to Facebook，“The Lemonade Stand for St.Jude that
our neighbours hosted this weekend raised $3，515 and donated it to my
run goal.I CANNOT find the words to tell you how I feel.It’s absolutely
incredible to celebrate this way.”
According to WMBD， Leslie Rothan added，“As a parent， it
really makes you filled with joy.It was their idea， obviously we wanted to
support and encourage them to be as successful as possible， but it really
helped them to realise what they were doing and how that money could
really help save children.”

　　Communication is more than just words：it involves verbal and
nonverbal signals that convey meaning and emotions.Some public-
speaking coaches seek to downplay the importance of language.They may
cite research published in 1967 by Professor Albert Mehrabian and claim
that only 7 percent of the effectiveness of communication is down to
language， while 38 percent depends on tone of voice and 55 percent
comes from body language.This has led coaches to focus excessively on
developing a speaking style of confidence， charisma， etc.， and not
worry so much about the words.
Unfortunately， this is a complete misinterpretation of what
Mehrabian found.His experiments were devoted primarily to discovering
how emotion was communicated.So for example， he would test what
would happen if someone said “That’s nice，” but said so in an angry
tone of voice， or with threatening body language.Sure enough， in those
circumstances， the words don’t count for much.But it is absurd to apply
this to speaking overall （and Mehrabian is so sick of being misapplied
that his website contains a bolded paragraph begging people not to do
this）.
Yes， communicating emotion is important， and for that aspect of a
talk， one’s tone of voice and body language do indeed matter a great
deal.But the whole substance of a talk depends crucially on words.It’s the
words that tell a story， build an idea， explain the complex， make a
reasoned case， or provide a compelling call to action.So， if you hear
someone tell you that body language matters more than verbal language in
public speaking， please know that they are misinterpreting the science.
（Or for fun， you could just ask them to repeat their point purely with
gestures！）
The fact that we can transfer ideas with language is why human-to-
human speaking matters.It is how our worldviews are built and shaped.Our
ideas make us who we are.And speakers who have figured out how to
spread their ideas into others’ minds are able to create ripple effects of
untold consequence.

study？

　　Bad news for people who frequently use the emoji： It is no longer
cool.
In recent weeks， two generations have been debating in videos and
comments on TikTok over the symbols of millennial （千禧一代） culture
that are now considered uncool by Generation Z（Gen Z）.The list
includes the popular laughing crying emoji that some millennials， myself
included， use hundreds of times a day， or more.
“Face with Tears of Joy，” the official name for the laughing
crying emoji， is currently the most-used emoji on Emojitracker， a
website that shows real-time emoji use on Twitter.
“What’s wrong with the laughing emoji？” one user asked in a
TikTok comment.Another responded：“It’s so off.” On a different video
of a woman saying she’s cut back on using it after learning kids don’t.
“I use everything but the laughing emoji，” 21-year-old Walid
Mohammed told CNN Business.“I stopped using it a while back because I
saw older people using it， like my mom， my older sisters and just older
people in general.”
For many Gen Zers — born after 1996， the emoji has become a
popular replacement for conveying laughter.It’s the visual version of the
slang phrase “I’m dead” or “I’m dying”， which means something is
very funny.Other acceptable choices： the emoji （officially called
“Loudly Crying Face”）， or just writing “lol （laughing out
loud）” or “lmao”.
“Tears of Joy was a victim of its own success，” said Gretchen
McCulloch， the author of Because Internet： Understanding the New
Rules of Language. “If you indicate digital laughter for years and years in
the same way， it starts to feel insincere. ...It gets worn out through
continued use，” she said.That’s why Gen Zers may be looking to fresh
and novel ways to signal they’re laughing through different ways.
Older generations tend to use emojis literally （字面地） while
younger people get more creative， said Jeremy Burge， the chief emoji
officer of Emojipedia， an emoji dictionary website.Gen Zers told CNN
Business they like to assign their own meanings to emoji， which then
spreads to others， often through social media.

第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选
项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Every time you make an introduction， presentation or proposal to try
to influence anyone to do anything， your audience’s first impression will
be fully formed in less than three minutes. 　36　 It’s not your fault.That’s
just how people are.
For the last two decades the human attention span has been steadily
decreasing.Now， a recent Microsoft study puts the average human
attention span at 8.2 seconds.A goldfish is at 9 seconds.
It’s not that we’re all absent-minded. 　37　 In fact， people today
focus more intensely and efficiently.They have zero tolerance for long and
boring explanations.They will tune you out in an 8.2-second instant.
Audiences today simply want valuable information. 　38　 It doesn’t
matter if you’re presenting to the board of directors of a major research
hospital or the PTA at the local high school.
To succeed， you must be able to capture and hold your audience’s
attention with only the quality and flow of your information. 　39　
Actually， you have only about three minutes.And I call this the 3-Minute
Rule.
A typical introduction to a business book can be more than fourteen
pages long.Yet most readers decide if they are going to read a new book in
the first six pages or less， which， no surprise， takes about three
minutes to read.
　40　 Everything of value about your company， idea， product，
or service can and must be conveyed clearly， briefly， and accurately in
three minutes or less.In the first three minutes， you need to vividly
illustrate the most valuable elements of your proposal， capture and
maintain your audience’s attention， and — most important — create
engagement.
A. It’s actually just the opposite.
B. They want it quick， clear， and brief.
C. That yes or no is already in their heads.
D. What matters is how you get your ideas across.
E. Then how should we define the 3-Minute Rule？
F. What should we do to win friends and influence people？
G. The length of your time should be neither too long nor too short.

Dear Peter，
Glad to hear that you will have an interview in the hosting contest of
your school.Yes， you are right.Body language really matters when it
comes to communicating with others.The following are my suggestions.
First of all， it’s a good idea to keep smiling.A smile on your face is
not only the best facial expression but also the most beautiful
language.Secondly， you need to sit straight.This will make you appear
confident and energetic.Finally， don’t forget to maintain eye contact.It’s
bad manners not to look someone in the eye when you are speaking to
them.
Wish you all the success in the coming interview！ Good luck！
Yours，
Li Hua
第二节（满分25分）
阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构
成一篇完整的短文。
Sally had longed to become a dancer since three.However， a terrible
car accident made that ambition nearly come to an end overnight in
2011.Sally， then a 15-year-old high school student in California was
injured severely in the accident that left her paralyzed（瘫痪的） from the
waist down.For most people， that would have dashed any hope of a
dancing career.But for Sally， it was just the beginning of new life.Instead
of being a barrier， her wheelchair made her more courageous.“I wanted
to prove to my community and myself that I was still ‘normal’，”she
said with a determined look，“Whatever normal meant.”
In her eyes， normal meant dancing， so Sally did it in her
wheelchair right alongside her nondisabled high school dance team.“Half
of my body was taken away from me， and I have to move it with my
hands，” Sally said.“It definitely took a lot of learning and patience.”
After graduation， Sally expanded her dance network to include
women who had the same situation as her.She met people online who had
suffered various spinal cord injuries （脊髓损伤）， and invited them to
dance with her by sharing her determination.It was such an amazing
experience. Hoping to reach more people in a larger city， Sally moved to
Los Angeles in 2016 and formed a team of dancers with disabilities called
DREAM. “I want to show that dance is dance， whether you’re walking
or you’re rolling.”
In Sally’s dancing team， there was a girl Ella aged 12， who had
been feeling depressed since the terrible accident.Having known about the
girl’s situation， Sally made efforts to seek every chance to help the little
girl find back the confidence to live.Thanks to Sally’s continuous efforts，
the little girl recovered physically and mentally day by day.The other
day， an invitation to a national dancing competition arrived.After a
heated discussion， they reached an agreement that they would
recommend Ella to the competition on behalf of the team.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式作答。
　　On hearing the decision， Ella felt more than worried. 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
　
　　The audience stood up and clapped for Ella’s excellent
performance. 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
　
参考范文：
On hearing the decision， Ella felt more than worried.She knew that
it was their trust on her that made her get the chance to dance on that large
stage.So she began to practice hard every day.Whenever she met with
problems， she would turn to Sally for help.The competition day came
finally， and it was Ella’s turn to show herself.Ella controlled her worry
and excitement， and danced with gentle elegance and strength.
The audience stood up and clapped for Ella’s excellent
performance.Ella looked around and noticed that Sally and all her
teammates were sitting under the stage， with their eyes filled with tears
and smiles on their faces.At that moment， Ella knew that she was
successful.She was very grateful to Sally and all her teammates.Thanks to
their support and belief， she could gain confidence and succeed in
dancing at last.She had made up her mind to go on this way forever.
谢谢观看！
