But today, emojis are everywhere in communication, and many people think they are a new form of language The first emojis were made in 19oo by a Japanese artist. He was working for a mobile network company. The company asked him to create a set of emojis to use when they launched (发布) theit mobile Internet svstem. Messages on the svstem were limited to 25o eharacters, so he though emojis would be an expeditious way for people to communicate, which made online talks easy an quick. At that time, people were already using "emoticons" in their conversations. These are simple faces made using characters on a keyboard. For example, a colon and a right parenthesis -:)- make a basic smiley face. The artist took this idea and made it better by creating 176 black-and-white pixel images to show things like emotions, weather, and food. This set of emojis is now part of the permanent (水久的) collection at New York City's Museum of Modern Art 高一英语第5页(共12页) The artist said he was inspired by symbols used in weather forecasts and Chinese characters The word emoji is a combination of two Japanese words: e which means picture, and mojf which means character. The artist said he never thought emojis would become so popular around the world. But they did- and it happened quickly. Other companies in Japan started using emojis too, an by the mid-2ooos, international companies began including them in their systems. In2o10, emojis were officially recognized by the Unicode Consortium, an organization that keeps text standards in software. This meant emojis could be used on any operating svstem Today, the Unicode Consortium has approved (认可) over 3.7oo emojis, showing different moods, animals, food, flags, and more. And just like any other language, emojis keep growing, with new ones added every year 28. Why were the first emojis created? A. To replace emoticoins. B. To ereate a new fom of art C.

Popular movies and television shows D. Weather symbols and Chinese characters 31. What does the text mainly talk about ? A. The Story Of Emojis B. The Way To Use Emojis C. The History Of Emoticons D. The Story About A lapanese Artist D Have you ever imagined an insect-inspired robot, which weighs less than a gram, could one day help out in surgery(外科手术)? Scientists have designed this small, "insect-bot" called mCLARI that can control and even change its body shape as it travels in different environments to fit through gaps. It's 2 centimeter long, weighs less than 0.97 grams and can travel at a speed of 6 centimeters per second.It's the 高一英语第6页(共12页) smaller, faster replacement to CLARI, which was designed by the same team. “Because of the robot's small size and ability to change shape, we expect usage of this technology in four important areas," the lead author Kaushik Jayaram said. These include disaster response, check on high-value objects, environmental monitoring and medical treatment. “In the long term, we hope such robots will be used more widely in moving through human bodies and performing surgeries that can't be easily done at present," Jayaram said. With mCLARI Jayaram's team is moving closer to creating robots that can fit in different environments-just like the insects they're inspired by. The mCLARI robot has four legs and can move in narrow spaces by changing between running forward and side-to-side and can use different speeds in human bodies. Its legs are joined to its body through ioints(关 节). which enables mCLARI to change its body shape based on th environment it is in. For example, its legs can be lengthened up to 5o% in certain spaces As follow-up work, the scientists want to give mCLARI more power and sensing ability while helping the surgeries. "We are also excited about understanding the effect of shape change on improving functions of robots." Jayaram said."And this is sure a great one-step forward of the technology. The robot will have entered the market by 2o25 and will bring greater benefits to mankind. especially in medical treatment." 32. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A.
