researchers from Adobe(ADBE)who surveyed 7,000 users across the United States,the United Kingdom,Germany,France,Japan,Australia,and South Korea.The“thumbs up”emoji came in second,followed by the“red heart”emoji.The flirtatious“wink and kiss”and“sad face with a tear”emojis respectively rounded out the top five.The software maker on Thursday released the findings from its 2021 Global Emoji Trend Report ahead of World Emoji Day on Saturday.Adobes latest Emoji Trend report also examined the three most misunderstood emojis in the world.The“eggplant”symbol edged out the“peach”and the“clown”emojis respectively as the most confusing for users.The vast majority of emoji users(90%)believe the modern day hieroglyphs make it easier for them to express themselves.Eighty nine percent of respondents said emojis simplify communicating across language barriers.And 67%said they think people who use emojis are friendlier,funnier and cooler than those who dont.A slight majority of respondents said they are more comfortable expressing emotions through emojis than talking on the phone or in person.More than half of global emoji users(55%)said using emojis in communications has positively impacted their mental health.Seventy six percent of those surveyed said emojis are an important communication tool for creating unity,respect and understanding.And 88%said they feel more empathetic toward people who use emojis.1.What are the three most popular emojis according to the passage?A.clown thumbs up laugh out loud B.laugh out loud thumbs up wink and kiss C.laugh out loud thumbs up red heart D.thumbs up red heart sad face with a tear 2.Which emoji is the most confusing one for users?A.Peach.B.Eggplant.C.Clown.D.Wink and kiss.3.Which of the following best describes the attitude of most people surveyed to emojis?A.Favorable.B.Passive.C.Indifferent.D.Doubtful.B“We are running out of space and the only places to go to are other worlds.Spreading out may be the only thing that saves us from ourselves.I am convinced that humans need to leave Earth.”These are the words of the famous scientist Stephen Hawking,spoken at a science festival inNorwayin 2017,a year before his death.Hawking was not alone in this view.Many experts feel that the only way for humanity to last far into the future is to colonize other planets.That way,if an asteroid,a terrible disease,nuclear war,or some other disaster strikes Earth,civilization as we know it would still have a chance.Mars is one of the most tempting destinations.NASA,theUnited Arab Emirates,the private company SpaceX,and the organization Mars One all have plans to send humans there.“Either we spread Earth to other planets,or we risk going extinct,SpaceX founder Elon Musk said at a conference in 2013.But not everyone agrees that colonizing Mars or any other planet is such a great plan.The most common argument against going is that its just too expensive or dangerous.It will take huge amounts of money and other resources just to get people there,let alone set up a place for them to live.Its not even clear if humans could survive on Mars.One of the biggest dangers there is deadly radiation that bombards the planet.Maybe all the time and money people would pour into a Mars mission would be better spent on more urgent projects here on Earth,like dealing with poverty or climate change.Some experts argue that handling a problem like an asteroid strike or disease outbreak while staying here on Earth would be much easier and less expensive than surviving on a new planet.In addition,moving to a new planet could harm or destroy anything that already lives there.Mars seems uninhabited,but it could possibly host microbial life.Human visitors may destroy this life or permanently change or damage the Martian environment.Some feel thats too much of a risk to take.What do you think?Should humans colonize outer space or stay home?4.What can be inferred from the passage?A.Many experts insist that humans should take the risk.B.Mars is the most attractive destinations for human beings.C.Hawking firmly believes the only way to save humans is moving to Mars.D.All the other experts dont agree with Hawkings idea.5.Why do some experts disagree with the plan to colonize Mars?A.It will cost much more money to settle on Mars than on Earth.B.It is too long a distance from the Earth to the Mars.C.Human visitors will bring diseases to Martian environment.D.The deadly radiation that bombards the planet is the biggest danger.6.Whats the writing purpose of the passage?A.To raise peoples awareness of protecting the environment.B.To present different opinions on whether to move to the Mars.C.To arouse readers reflection on whether to colonize outer space.D.To inspire people to deal with the environmental problems.7.In which section of a magazine is the passage most likely from?A.Fiction.B.Current affairs.C.Social Studies.D.Science.C“My P.E.teacher taught me maths.”It has been a common joke for years but when a P.E.teacher applied for the head-teacher job,many parents worried that“the joke could come true”.Some parents asked,“Does the P.E.teacher know maths and English?If not,how is he supposed to tutor the students?”But there were still parents who believed P.E.teachers had more time to discipline the students since they didnt have many classes.This concern is actually a“subject bias”,that is,choosing a P.E.teacher as the head-teacher is not good for the students grades since he doesnt know Chinese,maths,or English.It is acceptable for Chinese teachers,maths teachers and English teachers to be head-teachers because these subjects are important to entrance exams and scores.Such a concern reflects parents anxiety in the current educational environment,which tends to link the head-teachers responsible subject with the facts whether the school cares about the class and the childrens performances in the subject.Many people care about their kids academic performances only.They dont care about their kids P.E.performance at all.Even if kids have P.E.classes,parents care little.P.E.teachers are in humble position and their classes are often occupied by other teachers.Of course,if students,P.E.performance is related to grades and entrance exams,parents wont mind“a P.E.teacher being the head-teacher”.At the moment,P.E.is gradually included in entrance exams.In terms of high school entrance examination,Guangzhouwill launch a new high school entrance exam which includes P.E.performance and Health examination in 2021,raising the score to 70 points.In terms of the college entrance examination,universities having the right of independent enrollments added P.E.tests to their entrance exams in 2019.This practice is seen as an important signal that the assessment of physical fitness and athletic ability,which are important aspects of a students overall quality,may be included in the college entrance examination in the future.We hope that its a trend for P.E.teachers,music teachers and art teachers to become head-teachers.8.By saying“My P.E.teacher taught me maths”,what does the author intend to show us?A.It is just a joke that seldom happened in reality.B.P.E.teachers hardly assist students in maths.C.P.E.teachers are good at teaching maths.D.Parents doubt the ability of P.E.teacher.9.We can infer from paragraph 2 that a P.E.teacher .A.is of little benefit for students academic performance B.is humbler than Chinese,math or English teachers C.reflects whether the school cares about the class D.gets unfairly judged due to the current educational system 10.Why doesGuangzhouraise proportion of P.E.performance in high school entrance examination?A.To raise students awareness of physical health.B.To call on parents to pay attention to P.E.teachers.C.To test the overall ability of high school students.D.To make P.E.teachers equal with other teachers.11.What opinion does the author hold towards P.E.teachers working as head-teachers?A.Neutral.B.Unexpected.C.Supportive.D.Critical.D At first glance,there is nothing unusual about BingoBoxs convenience storeshelves packed with snacks line the walls,attracting passers-by through the glass windows.But upon closer look,BingoBox is no ordinary store.The door unlocks only after customers scan(扫描)aQR code to enter,and there is no cashier just a lone checkout counter(柜台)in a corner.The Shanghai-based company is one of many unmanned store operators(运营者)opening outlets all over China,hoping to improve slim profit by reducing staff costs.“Ifstaff costs rise quickly,that puts greater pressure on low-profit businesses like convenience stores and supermarkets,”said Andrew Song,an analyst at Guotai Junan Securities.“InChina,manpower costs have been rising ly quickly.”However,the future vision of shopping without a check-out person is still a work in progress.A Post reporter who visited a BingoBox store inShanghaiwas briefly locked in when trying to exit without buying anything.Although a sign near the exit stated that empty-handed customers can leave by scanning a QR code,no QR code was to be found.Repeated calls to the customer service hotline went unanswered.The idea of unmanned stores first caught the worlds attention in December last year.Equipped with technology such as RFID tags,mobile payment systems and facial and movement recognition,such stores collect large amounts of data that give operators a better idea of consumer preferences and buying habits,which can then be used to optimize(使最优化)operations and make more efficient inventory decisions.For companies like BingoBox,lower operating costs also mean it can afford to expand its reach to areas with less foot traffic or fewer people,according to its founder and chief executive ChenZilin.12.What makes BingoBox store look like an ordinary convenience store?A.No cashier to check out.B.A lone checkout counter.C.Shelves packed with goods.D.Entering by scanning a QR code.13.Why are unmanned stores popular with operators?A.The customers prefer mobile payment systems.B.The unmanned stores help improve profit with lower labor costs.C.The employees focus on consumer preferences and buying habits.D.The operators care more about operations and inventory decisions.14.Why is the reporters case mentioned in the passage?A.To show his anger and dissatisfaction.B.To warn people not to go to a BingoBox store.C.To explain unmanned stores still have a long way to go.D.To complain that QR code service is not convenient at all.15.What can we infer from the chief executive Chen Zilin?A.Nowadays all stores should be equipped with advanced technology.B.The operators collect data about consumer preferences and buying habits.C.BingoBox made wiser decisions based on the data collected in those unmanned stores.D.The operators can open unmanned supermarkets in more distant places with low cost.第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10
