26、   Over the last few years, cartoon pictograms have become an important part of how many people communicate. In recent years, there has been a push to include more diversity in emoticons, like adding new options for a variety of skin tones in smiley faces.

But when people from the Te Puia Maori cultural center in Rotorua, New Zealand, looked at existing emojis, they realized there was an opportunity to create some that reflected their country’s native cultures. They designed more than 150 emoticons that have named “Emotikis.” The pictograms include traditional objects from Maori culture. The set even includes a number of animated emoji gifs.

But while the Maori emojis may be designed with fun in mind, Kiri Atkinson-Crean, Te Puia spokesperson, says they give Maori youth a way to communicate with each other online using signifiers from their own culture.

“All they could use were expressions and symbols from other countries—we wanted to give them an opportunity to express themselves through another form of this language with Maori culture Emotikis,” said Atkinson-Crean.

Even so, there is more to texting than emoticons. Many languages are inexpressible with the limited symbols available for most smartphone keyboards, and many of those languages are at risk of disappearing.

In Canada, there are more than 60 different native languages spoken by First Nations people, but many of these languages are at risk of disappearing. During the late 19th century, government policies tore First Nations children from their parents in order to forcibly absorb them into Euro-Canadian and Christian culture. Raised in state-run schools, they were forbidden to speak their native languages.

Native groups have advocated for years to have their languages officially recognized by Canada. To protect their languages, they’re also turning to technology for solutions. For example, the FirstVoices Keyboard is a free app for iPhone and Android smartphones that allows anyone to write in more than 100 native languages from around the world.

Many native languages require characters that weren’t available on smartphone, tablets and the like. So Alex Wadsworth, who developed the FirstVoice Keyboard, programmed in these characters and then applied his keyboards to use for text messaging and writing emails. “You can text an elder now,” says Wadsworth.

【1】Why did the Te Puia Maori cultural center designed Emotikis?

A.To preserve their culture. B.To keep up with the world.

C.To enrich the life of Maori youth. D.To help Maori youth communicate easily.

【2】What can be learned about Emotikis?

A.They are popular in Canada. B.They will endanger native language.

C.They are too limited to express fully. D.They include many symbols from different countries.

【3】What happened to native languages in Canada?

A.They were once forbidden in many schools.

B.Many of them disappeared from literary usage.

C.They were once officially recognized by Canada.

D.Many of them served as a bridge to learn English.

【4】Which of the following is TRUE of the FirstVoices Keyboard?

A.It is designed for elders. B.It offers many languages.

C.It has been advocated officially. D.It can be bought on smartphone.

27、A medical emergency can happen anywhere at any time. Taking a brief moment to seek help is often the best first response.

28、   It is a dangerous time to be a child in Yemen. Besides facing war, hunger and poverty, more than 25 percent of children are not in school.

But eight-year-old singer Amr Muqbel, known as “The Water Seller,” is different. He attends school in the morning. In the afternoons, he used to sell water to help support his family. Now, he makes extra money singing for weddings, fans and several major Arabic news channels.

“I'm proud he has become a singer,” said Ahmed Muqbel, Amr's 70-year-old father, with tears in his eyes. One of their relatives is a soldier, he added, and Amr used to sing war songs. Now, he sings about love and peace in a country where other children can be forced to join military groups.

Amr first became well-known this year when a local hiker recorded him singing to a group of people. The hiker posted the recording on Facebook, where it received 20,000 likes, loves and sad faces. Since then, the boy appears on Arab media regularly.

Amr's family remains poor, however. He, his mother and his four siblings (兄弟姐妹) still struggle to survive in a small house. But as Amr gains the attention of music professionals, the family hopes his voice will help lift them further out of poverty.

His father wants to go to Lebanon so Amr can try to get into the professional music business. His mother wants Amr to continue to be mentored (指导) locally, so he can sing more often at weddings to increase the family's income. “His songs come out from his heart,” said Mohammed al-Adaimi, a 23-year-old who listens to Amr's songs on YouTube. “He should stay and sing for us and we will support him.” Other local people said they are proud that a young Yemeni is getting international attention. “He is a talented boy” said Mabrouk al-Baqash, who has been listening to Amr sing for eight months. “It's fine to travel to Lebanon.”

【1】Why is Amr different from many other children?

A.He has been selling water locally. B.He can go to school all the time.

C.He can sing to support his family. D.He doesn’t suffer from poverty.

【2】What can we know about Amr?

A.He can’t go to school and is in danger in Yemen.

B.He can’t help his family out of poverty at present.

C.He makes his father disappointed as a local singer.

D.He has to serve in army because of singing war songs.

【3】Who supported Amr to go to Lebanon?

A.His parents. B.Ahmed and Mohammed.

C.Ahmed and Mabrouk. D.His mother and Mabrouk.

【4】Which of the following can best describe Amr?

A.Gifted. B.Proud.

C.Far-sighted. D.Well-educated.

29、   Late blight (晚疫病) is a common disease of plants such as tomatoes and potatoes, capable of wiping out entire crops on commercial-sized fields. If conditions are favorable, it can quickly spread to other plants through wet soil and wind.

In history, late blight caused over 1 million deaths in Ireland. Today it still causes more than 6.7 billion dollars in annual losses worldwide. Small farms and growers are  often  the  hardest  hit, many stating losing almost two-thirds of their yearly production, because usually they don’t have money to identify and treat the disease.

But farmers may  have  a  new  weapon  now.  The technology,  designed  by  researchers  at  North Carolina State University can recognize sick plants early by employing a piece of test paper that plugs into (接入) a reader on a smartphone.

Plants produce signaling chemicals from their leaves. “If a plant is diseased, the type and concentration of these chemicals changes,” said Wei Qingshan, an engineer at North Carolina State University. If the farmer suspects a late blight infection is underway, he can remove a leaf from a living plant and place it in a small, covered glass jar. After the leaf’s volatile (挥发性的) chemicals have accumulated for 15 minutes or so, the cap is removed and the air is pumped from the jar into a reader attached to the back of a smartphone. Inside the smartphone reader is a piece of paper specially treated with dyes ( 染料 )  by  the  researchers.  Upon interacting  with  the  plant’s volatile chemicals, the paper changes color to indicate the presence or absence of the late blight.

The researchers hope to tailor the technology for other crop diseases, which continue to appear   as climate change and global trade increase the stress on agricultural systems. “This is an important step in the improvement of global food security,” Wei Qingshan said.

【1】What are the statistics in Paragraph 2 mainly about?

A.The damage caused by late blight.

B.The money put into late blight treatment.

C.The number of crops in a commercial-sized field.

D.The yearly production of small farms and growers.

【2】According to Wei Qingshan, how would a farmer find out if a plant was infected?

A.By treating the plant with special dyes.

B.By putting volatile chemicals on the plant.

C.By testing the air in the jar with a leaf inside.

D.By examining the land with a smartphone reader.

【3】What do the researchers expect of their new technology?

A.It’ll reach farmers soon.

B.It’ll get rid of late blight.

C.It’ll be beneficial to the climate.

D.It’ll be able to detect more crop diseases.

【4】Where is the text most likely from?

A.A news report. B.A guidebook.

C.A lesson plan. D.An advertisement.

30、Hunter Shamatt lost his wallet while he was on a flight from Omaha to Denver earlier this month.

34、

Rapidly advancing technology and its impact on education has been a subject of debate. How can schools equip students with the skills they need to succeed in a challenging job market?

Since technology is driving these changes, there is a theory that governments should keep focusing on STEM subjects. These are often referred to as “hard skills,” which are 【1】 in primary school and right through to university level. In the meantime, ‘soft skills’ are being 【2】.

This is a mistake. Much evidence suggests that soft skills are far more 【3】 to graduates in the long term. Research from Harvard University on the global job market has shown that STEM- related careers grew strongly between 1989 and 2000 but have slowed down since. In contrast, jobs in the creative industries----the sector probably most 【4】 with the need for soft skills---are growing rapidly. Soft skills are, in fact, increasingly in demand in the workplace: Google cites creativity, leadership 【5】 and communication skills as top requirements for both potential and current employees.

So why are soft skills so highly 【6】 for?

With the rapid evolution of technology, a focus on hard skills leaves students 【7】 to change, as these often have a short shelf life. According to research by World Economic Forum, more than one in four adults reports a mismatch between their skills and those needed for their job role. If soft skills are taught well, these skills should enable students to adapt to change more easily and progress further in their 【8】 career.

Of course, technical skills are important. But without the curriculum placing equal--- if not greater --- 【9】 on soft skills, our education systems are missing a huge trick. Hard skills may help a student get a job in a particular industry, but soft skills will help them disrupt it, achieving a wider 【10】 in their chosen field.

35、阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

Everyone has their own unique fingerprint; 【1】 makes fingerprints an ideal way to unlock smartphones. However, this may be 【2】 (safe) than we think.

Scientists at New York University and Michigan State University in the US have developed a set of fake fingerprints. They say that the prints 【3】 unlock any fingerprint-enabled smartphone up to 65 percent of the time.

The artificial fingerprints 【4】 (create) by using many common features found in human prints. They work 【5】 taking advantage of the way smartphone scanners check a fingerprint.

The fingerprint scanners   【6】 (use) in smartphones are so small that they only read parts of fingerprints. So they have to take many scans of your finger or thumb (拇指) 【7】 they work properly. Smartphones also let users save several finger and thumbprints. Since a print only has to match one of the saved images 【8】 (unlock) the phone, the scanner is more likely to make mistakes.

Although the scientists have only tested their findings in computer simulations (模拟), 【9】 (worry) about the safety of using fingerprints are reasonable .They warn that the technology used to create artificial fingerprints is improving   【10】 (extreme) fast.

36、Directions: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

The Internet E-commerce and globalization are making a new economic age possible. In the future, capitalist markets will largely be replaced by a new kind of economic system based on 【1】 relationships, contractual arrangements and access rights.

Has the quality of our lives at work, at home and in our communities increased in direct proportion to all the new Internet and business-to-business Internet services being introduced into our lives? I have asked this question of hundreds of CEOs and corporate executives in Europe and the United States. Surprisingly, virtually everyone has said, “No, quiet 【2】.” They say they are working longer hours, feel more stressed, are more impatient, and are even less civil in their dealings with colleagues and friends-not to mention strangers. And what’s more revealing, they place much of the blame on the very same technologies they are so 【3】 supporting.

The technological leader promised us that access would make life more convenient. Instead, the very technological wonders that were supposed to 【4】 us have begun to enslave us in a web of connections from which there seems to be no easy 【5】.
