Some people already know what they want to do, while others need more time. The key is to find work that m 1 your interests and skills—you’ll be happier doing what you love. Think about what excites you most. Do you like s 2 problems and working with numbers? You might want to work in technology or engineering. If you are w 3 to help people, try fields like healthcare or teaching. However, it’s not only about what you like—your skills m 4 too. Are you great at talking to people and understanding their needs? Or are you better at solving puzzles and using technology? Some people are amazing at maths and science, while others are b 5 with creativity and communication. You don’t just want a job you’re good at. You a 6 want one that you enjoy. When you join love and skills together, your work becomes l 7 of a “job” and more of something you really enjoy. Moreover, when you love w 8 you do, it’s easier to feel happier at the end of the day. But it’s also important to think about the job market and chances. If you live in a place full of technology companies, jobs in programming or engineering may be more s 9 . One more thing: your career path isn’t set in stone. People c 10 careers all the time! It’s okay if you start one job and then decide you want to try something new. What’s important is to keep learning and growing along the way. 根据短文内容和首字母提示，在下文空格处填入适当的词使对话完整。(每空一词) Throughout history, many cultures value the importance of hard work. It’s true that hard workers are always fighting a 1 the attraction (吸引力) of sleep. The allusion (典故) xuan liang ci gu, which means tying one’s hair to the house beam (房梁) and stabbing one’s thigh (大腿) with a sharp tool, tells two stories about the hard experiences of staying a 2 . In the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was a famous politician named Sun Jing, who really enjoyed studying, even in the evening. To stop h 3 falling asleep when reading at night, Sun came up with a special way. He tied his hair to the beam while reading. And that method w 4 . If he felt sleepy, his hair would be pulled upward by the rope and the p 5 would wake him up. Before you are amazed by w 6 Sun Jing did, the story of Su Qin, another famous man who lived in the Warring States Period, was even more shocking. According to Strategies (策略) of the Warring States, when Su was young, he f 7 so many times to get a governmental position that he even let his family down. So he decided to work harder. When he felt sleepy at night, he used a sharp tool to stab at his thigh in order to focus on reading again. No d 8 Su’s hard work paid off. Finally, he realized his dream s 9 . Later, people joined Su’s story with Sun’s and c 10 the allusion xuan liang ci gu. At present, although we are not supposed to follow their actions, their amazing spirits are still meaningful and encouraging. Labubu has become one of the most popular toys among Chinese teenagers. This summer, Labubu, a “monster” looking doll from China w 1 a soft face with large eyes, nine sharp teeth, a furry body and rabbit-like ears has won the hearts of many people around the world. People line up very early, even before sunrise, in front of Pop Mart stores, which are the only places to buy Labubu. On resale markets, the p 2 of Labubu dolls have gone up a lot. One doll can cost hundreds of dollars. They are in s 3 high demand (需求) that they made about $1.8 billion last year. Pop Mart was founded in 2010 by Wang Ning from Henan. Now it has over 400 stores and 2,000 toy m 4 called roboshops. Because of the popularity of toys like Labubu, Wang Ning became the 10th richest person in China, with $20 billion. Labubu was created by Kasing Lung, a designer from Hong Kong. It first appeared in a picture book in 2015. Labubu’s look is different from that of t 5 cute toys. It has a “bad-boy” look, which many people, especially young people, really like. It’s like Labubu is not trying to be p 6 , and that makes it cool. Another r 7 for Labubu’s success is the “blind box” way of selling. When you buy a blind box, you don’t know which Labubu doll you will get i 8 . This makes it exciting, just like a little game. People want to open more boxes to find their favorite or a rare one. Some rare Labubu dolls are so hard to get that they can be s 9 for much more money. Labubu also works with famous brands and stars. Many stars like Lisa and Rihanna enjoy sharing their photos with Labubu online. These bring more a 10 to Labubu and make it even more popular. Amanda Lee, a 26-year-old from Singapore, likes to open Pop Mart’s blind boxes with her coworkers (同事). “It’s just a fun little thing that we get to do together during our lunch breaks to relax,” Lee told Time magazine. 根据短文内容及首字母提示，填写所缺单词。 Art can communicate feelings and exchange thoughts in every era and for every generation. In July, some young people at home and a 1 shared their ideas about art in China Daily’s programme Youth Power (《少年会客厅》). For Giacomo Bruni from Italy, art is something p 2 to turn what’s in their minds into reality. But they’re never created for making money only. One of his favorite artworks is Marcel Duchamp’s Fountain (《泉》). It shows an upside-down urinal (小便器). As many artists tried to “please people’s eyes” in the 20th century, Duchamp wanted to use o 3 from real life to make art. “It is the extension (延伸) of artists t 4 and a medium of self-expression,” said Bruni. But Sun Yuxin from China said that art can have different types. For example, popular art is w 5 the market likes. But we also have art that is not popular enough or that everyone agrees on. “It d 6 on how we define (定义) them,” said Sun. While young people share different ideas about what is art, most will have a c 7 opinion on the idea that “art is not bad or good”. “I think the b 8 of art is that there is no right or wrong, and there are no limits,” said Jiratchaya Phinyoworakul, a Thai student at Fudan University in Shanghai. “I found that China is very large and has a lot of ethnic (民族的) groups and each group also has their own kinds of art that they enjoy.” To Lian Liia from Russia art not only helps people bring out the best in themselves but also creates equal d 9 among different cultures and countries. “Though the s 10 of art is changing in art history, one thing has never changed—people’s search for truth, goodness and beauty,” she said. 根据短文内容及首字母提示，填写所缺单词。 Christmas in Poland (波兰) is the biggest holiday of the year. Like many other countries in Central Europe, people celebrate it with special traditions, not just Christmas trees and the g 1 under them. In Poland, Christmas celebrations begin on Christmas Eve. Families look up at the sky and w 2 for the first star. This was the same when I was a child. When the first star finally a 3 , we would begin our dinner. The star is a symbol of the Star of Bethlehem, which guided the Wise Men to baby Jesus. I clearly remember the table. It was covered with a white cloth, clean knives and forks, and colorful napkins. Under the cloth, there was a small piece of hay (干草). It r 4 us of the simple place where baby Jesus slept. There was also an extra seat at the table for an unexpected g 5 . Before we ate, we shared a thin, flat bread made of flour and water. We walked around the room and broke a piece from each other’s bread. At the same time, we said kind words and good w 6 to one another. There was always plenty of f 7 . My grandmother made beet soup with dumplings. Some dumplings were sweet, and others were salty. We also ate a sweet roll with poppy seeds. The smell of mushrooms and dried fruit made the meal feel warm and happy. Traditionally, Polish people a 8 meat and strong alcohol (烈酒) on Christmas Eve. Instead, they eat fish. Fried carp (鲤鱼) is one of the most important dishes. In the past, some people kept live carp in their bathtubs before cooking them, a 9 many believed this made the fish taste better. Animals are also part of the celebration. One old story says that on Christmas Eve, animals are given the gift of speech. I have never heard one s 10 yet, but I still hope I will one day. 根据短文内容及首字母提示，填写所缺单词。 Automated (自动化的) kitchens aren’t sci-fi scenes from shows like Star Trek. Right now, robots are used to fry chicken, create pizzas, prepare salads and much more. AI can i 1 recipes (食谱) based on what a kitchen has. More advanced concepts (概念) are in development to automate kitchens for fine dining. Since technology tends to be expensive at first, restaurants and other b 2 are the first ones to use AI kitchen technologies. Over time, prices are likely to fall enough for the home market, changing how homes and society work. The benefits (好处) of AI kitchens include enabling cooks to avoid boring tasks such as peeling potatoes or standing at a workstation for hours. It can f 3 up time, allowing people to focus on more important tasks. For personalized eating, AI can fit countless special diets and tastes on demand. However, there are r 4 to human well-being. Cooking is a good activity that helps with communication and self-expression, but these benefits could be diminished (减少) if the human element becomes unnecessary. Family relationships might suffer w 5 the collaborative (协作的) kitchen environment. Furthermore, the kitchen serves as the household’s science laboratory, playing an important r 6 in science education. The art of cooking helps kids learn about materials, chemistry and problem-solving. Cultural risks must also be considered. For example, AI could mess up t 7 recipes and methods, as it often stereotypes or oversimplifies cultural details. This may result in AI and robot cooks producing less diverse dishes. Relying too heavily on technology in meal creation may result in a l 8 of variety, leading to a sameness in taste. That’s akin (类似的) to the strangely similar feel of AI art images across different apps. C 9 can come at a great cost, so it’s important to consider the possible social disruptions (扰乱) that new technologies might bring, e 10 in areas like food that are closely tied to our everyday lives. 根据短文内容及首字母提示，填写所缺单词。（每空一词） Everyone is born with the ability to learn.

My weight had a huge influence on my health. But I found it d 1 to stick to healthy-eating plans and I couldn’t understand why I stopped my weight loss plan halfway. One day, I had what I can only d 2 as a light-bulb moment (灵光一现), and realized I’d never found out why I k 3 going off the track (偏离轨道), why I ate a biscuit even though I wanted to lose weight. I needed to understand what was going on in my head before I started w 4 about what I was eating or not eating. I started working to help me better understand what motivates (激励) me. I became a 5 of every time I ate something I shouldn’t, and what made it happen, and also being mindful on days when I was being healthy, asking m 6 , “What’s happened today to help me feel like I’m strong and in control?” I realized I’m motivated by p 7 , so I decided to post my progress on social media so I could get encouragement from friends and family. I’ve completely changed my mindset and have lost 20 kilograms. I’m planning to l 8 10 more kilograms and, for the first time, I believe I’m going to get there. In the past, when I started diets and was asked w 9 weight I want to be, it felt like I picked a number that had nothing to do with what I thought I could do. Now I feel anything is possible. I’ve used my e 10 to help others, supporting them to change their mindsets, as well as their diets. And this can also be applied to our careers. 根据短文内容及首字母提示，填写所缺单词，并将答案填写在答题卡标号为1-10的相应位置上。 Dear Jack, I hope you’re doing well. Last month, while exploring traditional arts and crafts, I d 1 an attractive traditional toy from Zhenjiang, Jiangsu, called taiping nijiaojiao. It looks like a simple toy, but it’s a whistle (哨子)! This toy has had a h 2 of over a thousand years. It came from Huashan village and it is an important p 3 of the local culture and traditions. Taiping nijiaojiao is made from local mountain mud. The process of making it i 4 more than ten steps. These toys come in many shapes like animals and plants, often showing traditional cultural designs. In 2016, the art of making taiping nijiaojiao was a 5 to Jiangsu’s intangible cultural heritage (非遗) list. Once I heard about the s 6 of Zhou Baokang, an artist who loves this craft. About 20 years ago, Zhou saw taiping nijiaojiao at a market in Huashan village and thought it was a 7 . He loved art, so he learned the skills from local artists. Now, he is very good at making these toys. He uses his imagination to shape the mud w 8 following any pre-made designs. Zhou enjoys making animal-shaped whistles, especially those inspired by Chinese zodiac (生肖). In the year of the tiger, he c 9 tiger whistles, with big mouths and sharp teeth. His designs are influenced by traditional Chinese xieyi paintings, which are simple but very impressive. I thought you might find taiping nijiaojiao as i 10 as I do, especially since you love traditional arts and crafts. Maybe one day, we can visit Zhenjiang together and try making these lovely whistles. Take care and hope to see you soon. Best regards, Rose 首字母填空 In the past summer holiday, a group of students in Wuhan were asked to record their parents’ and their own emotions (情绪). Organizers started this challenge to help the students and their parents not lose temper (发火). News about the c 1 soon spread online, and many people began trying it. At the same time, however, the news led to lots of d 2 , people not only talk on anger itself, but on how we should control our emotions. Let’s take a look at what people say. Some people think feeling angry is just like feeling hungry, lonely or t 3 . What we should do is to find out the thing that makes us angry and try to deal with it instead of a 4 it. But anger specialist Isabel Clarke said on the Internet, “You can control your anger, and you should force yourself to do so.” So which side is r 5 and how should we teenagers deal with our anger? Being a teenager is hard, e 6 with all the schoolwork and responsibilities. As a result, it is much easier for us to get angry. But if we take a few small steps, learning to think of happy things and forget sad o 7 can make it easier to put out the fire inside us. According to the BBC’s advice website, putting our anger into something is an easy way. So, the next time you feel anger building up, you shouldn’t l 8 your temper, and you should try expressing your bad emotions in an a 9 way: paint something, write a poem, sing a song or just go for a walk. After all, having emotions is what makes us humans. And w 10 them, even anger, the world wouldn’t be as beautiful as it is now. But we shouldn’t let them hurt ourselves or others. 根据短文内容及首字母提示，填写所缺单词。 Chinese writer Hai Ya’s The Space-Time Painter (《时空画师》) won the Hugo Award (雨果奖) for Best Novelette on Oct 21, 2023. He became the t 1 Chinese writer to win a Hugo award after Liu Cixin in 2015 and Hao Jingfang in 2016. When creating The Space-Time Painter, Hai Ya got his i 2 from a famous painting, A Panorama of Rivers and Mountains (《千里江山图》). It is by Wang Ximeng from the Song Dynasty (960-1279). Based on Wang, Hai created a c 3 named Zhao Ximeng who painted for an emperor (皇帝) more than 1,000 years ago. After many hard times, Zhao’s mind leaves his body and e 4 a space where a modern policeman is trying to solve a case about an ancient painting. Hai Ya’s story with science fiction began in his childhood. “When I was a child, the bookstore in my hometown helped create a beautiful g 5 in my mind. In it, science fiction offered the most beautiful ‘flowers’,” Hai Ya told Beijing Youth Daily. He a 6 that science fiction opened a new world for him. Hai Ya’s works are a mix of history and science fiction. These two styles seem o 7 : One takes a look at the past, and the other faces the future. However, in Hai Ya’s works, they find a perfect balance. “If we can only i 8 the future and things in space like rockets, it will only limit our abilities,” Hai Ya told Shenzhen Special Zone Daily. “I don’t think history is something totally in the past. It is flowing, and we can predict about the future by looking b 9 at history,” he said. More Chinese writers today are trying to mix t 10 culture with modern stories. “Our history and culture have lasting values that can touch everyone,” he said to Xinhua. 请根据短文内容及首字母提示，填写所缺单词。 Umbrellas are useful, rain or shine. They have been used for both kinds of w 1 for more than 3, 000 years. You might say that umbrellas are dripping with history. Early Egyptian leaders used them in ceremonies. R 2 of old Japan walked under red umbrellas. They were a sign of power. The kings of Burma r 3 on white elephants under white umbrellas. People in Greece and Rome also used umbrellas long ago. The umbrellas of early times were used in warm lands as protection against the Sun. By the 1600s umbrellas had appeared in northern Europe. In these countries they were used on rainy days, too. Umbrellas were thought to be big and clumsy. They were used by people who didn’t have carriages. By the 1700s umbrellas had become more popular in countries such as England. During this time many umbrellas had jewels and fancy handles made of rare wood. Some umbrellas had hollow (空心的) handles. Perfume, knives, and even pens and papers were k 4 in these handles. Umbrellas were i 5 in the 1880s. Before that time most were made with whalebone spokes. They weighed 10 pounds! By 1826, their weight was d 6 to 1. 5 pounds. Steel frames were first used in 1852. C 7 for these umbrellas were made of waxed silk or oiled paper. It wasn’t until the twentieth century that women’s umbrellas began to be made. Today’s umbrellas are very light. Some people think they turn i 8 out too easily, but modern umbrellas do have some good points. For example, they fold up into smaller packages. Some have plastic windows in them so people can see where they’re walking. Now umbrellas are a necessary part of everyday life and are used all over the world. From simple d 9 to more fashionable ones, umbrellas come in a wide range of styles and materials to suit any need. Throughout the history of the umbrella, these useful tools have changed a great deal. The umbrella is both a practical o 10 and a symbol of high fashion and status, depending on the type. Umbrellas are just going to get more and more modern as time goes by. As a fossil (化石) scientist, Mary Anning (1700—1847) made great c 1 to her field in the 19th century. Her name is now widely known in Britain and even Europe. But that was not always the case. Anning was a talented woman. She was born in a poor family in Lyme Regis, Britain. She did not receive any p 2 education and had to teach herself geology (地质学) and paleontology (古生物学). Anning grew up by the sea. At a young age, she showed great i 3 in studying the fossils along the coastline. Anning worked very hard. She went out in all weathers to search for fossils. At the age of 12, she uncovered a skeleton that looked like a crocodile. Then, after ten years of tireless e 4 , she m 5 an amazing discovery. It was a huge fossil of something that the world had never seen before. However, many of Anning’s findings differed with the w 6 accepted theories (理论) at that time. So most of the scientists didn’t believe or r 7 the value of her findings. What’s more, in that period, people seldom respected women. Anning’s findings were eveh published without her name. During her lifetime, the woman was never seriously considered to be a scientist. But such t 8 didn’t stop Anning from making more discoveries. The woman was still keen on studying different sizes and types of fossils alongside the sea. Some of them were as large as a huge rock while others were smaller than an egg. Until 1829, she carefully uncovered a skeleton of a fossil fish which made her k 9 among first-class scientists. Her discoveries helped to study some extinct (已灭绝的) animals. They formed the basis for Charles Darwin’s On the Origin of Species (《物种起源》) . In recent years, more and more people have come to realize the importance of Anning’s work. She is now listed among the top ten British women who have greatly a 10 the history of science. Anning was an ambitious and hard-working woman in history. She deserves to be remembered. 请根据短文内容及首字母提示，填写所缺单词。 In 2013, Diana Nyad became the first person to swim from Cuba (古巴) to Florida without the help of a shark cage, at age 64. Diana was born in New York City but moved to Florida after her NYAD graduation from college. She began swimming at the age of 10 and showed t 1 and love for the sport from an early stage. Under the coach of Jack Nelson, the former (昔日的) Olympic swimmer, she won a lot of long-distance swimming c 2 during the 1960s and 1970s. Diana became well-known for setting a new r 3 for swimming around the island of Manhatan (曼哈顿岛) in 1975 in a time of 7 hours and 57 minutes.

In 2011, she failed the Cuba-to-Florida swim trip, first making it 29 hours and t 7 41 hours. The swim was too difficult and full of danger. During the long and tiring journey, Diana had met with terrible storm and deadly sea animals such as sharks and box jellyfish (箱形水母). But every time Diana failed, she was ready to fight back. In August 2012, after she had spent 60 hours in the water, a lightning storm and other problems stopped her for the fourth time. In 2013, 35 years after her first try, the 64-year-old Diana planned to swim from Cuba to Florida for a f 8 time. After 52 hours 54 minutes and 18 seconds, Diana completed the historic swim with the help of a crew of doctors, scientists and navigators on September 2. She finally became the first person to a 9 the close-to-impossible goal. In her book Find a Way, Diana sent us three m 10 : 1. We should never ever give up; 2. It’s never too old to chase your dreams; 3. The swim looks like an individual sport but actually it needs a team effort. 请根据短文内容及首字母提示，填写所缺单词。 Have you ever seen or drawn the “smiley face”? It’s become a popular way to show that a person is pleased or happy. Where did it come from? Back in 1963, a company in the US was suffering from low employee morale(员工的士气). Everyone was worried they might lose their job, b 1 the company faced difficulty. It meant there were suddenly more employees than n 2 . To encourage employees to smile at work, the company hired an artist named Harvey Ball and expected him to come up with a good d 3 . Ball chose to make a happy face. It took him less than 10 minutes to draw a smiley face on a bright yellow background, which was then made into buttons(纽扣) that employees could wear on their jackets a 4 a reminder to smile at each other. The face soon became p 5 of the company’s culture and was introduced to the world. “It has r 6 everybody. Its message is as good as you can get,” Ball once said. By 1971, millions of smiley face buttons had been sold! He was p 7 of making something that made so many people feel good. He often said, “I made the world smile.” However, as much effort as Ball made, that “message” soon grew to become unusual. Just think about it: How many of us s 8 use the simple smiley face emoji just to say, “I’m smiling”? Chances are when we use it, we often mean, “I’m just going to ignore(忽视) you” or “That’s just perfect”—in a sarcastic(讽刺的) way. And our favourite emojis perhaps also i 9 the upside-down face or the face with tears of joy—both developed gradually from Ball’s original smiley face—and yet, both are often used sarcastically. Indeed, in today’s world, we are likely to act to many things with sarcasm instead of with a smile, perhaps because we’re finding it harder and harder to be happy. But we keep f 10 about the fact that happiness and smiling go both ways. That was probably what was in Ball’s mind when he first came up with the smiley face: a smile brings joy, and joy brings people closer together. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 期末复习之短文首字母填空15篇 （南京专用） 题号 难度 知识点 1 适中 工作与职业,说明文 2 较难 中华文化,记叙文 3 适中 商品,说明文 4 较难 说明文,艺术赏析 5 适中 外国文化,说明文,礼仪与习俗 6 较难 说明文,科学技术 7 适中 说明文,学习策略 8 适中 个人经历,叙事忆旧 9 适中 中华文化,传统工艺 10 适中 方法/策略 11 较难 文学家,科幻故事 12 困难 科普知识 13 适中 科学家 14 较难 励志故事 15 适中 科普知识 Choosing a career is a big choice, but it doesn’t have to be scary (可怕的). Some people already know what they want to do, while others need more time. The key is to find work that m 1 your interests and skills—you’ll be happier doing what you love. Think about what excites you most. Do you like s 2 problems and working with numbers? You might want to work in technology or engineering.

R 2 of old Japan walked under red umbrellas. They were a sign of power. The kings of Burma r 3 on white elephants under white umbrellas. People in Greece and Rome also used umbrellas long ago. The umbrellas of early times were used in warm lands as protection against the Sun. By the 1600s umbrellas had appeared in northern Europe. In these countries they were used on rainy days, too. Umbrellas were thought to be big and clumsy. They were used by people who didn’t have carriages. By the 1700s umbrellas had become more popular in countries such as England. During this time many umbrellas had jewels and fancy handles made of rare wood. Some umbrellas had hollow (空心的) handles. Perfume, knives, and even pens and papers were k 4 in these handles. Umbrellas were i 5 in the 1880s. Before that time most were made with whalebone spokes. They weighed 10 pounds! By 1826, their weight was d 6 to 1. 5 pounds. Steel frames were first used in 1852. C 7 for these umbrellas were made of waxed silk or oiled paper. It wasn’t until the twentieth century that women’s umbrellas began to be made. Today’s umbrellas are very light. Some people think they turn i 8 out too easily, but modern umbrellas do have some good points. For example, they fold up into smaller packages. Some have plastic windows in them so people can see where they’re walking. Now umbrellas are a necessary part of everyday life and are used all over the world.

Her name is now widely known in Britain and even Europe. But that was not always the case. Anning was a talented woman. She was born in a poor family in Lyme Regis, Britain. She did not receive any p 2 education and had to teach herself geology (地质学) and paleontology (古生物学). Anning grew up by the sea. At a young age, she showed great i 3 in studying the fossils along the coastline. Anning worked very hard. She went out in all weathers to search for fossils. At the age of 12, she uncovered a skeleton that looked like a crocodile. Then, after ten years of tireless e 4 , she m 5 an amazing discovery. It was a huge fossil of something that the world had never seen before. However, many of Anning’s findings differed with the w 6 accepted theories (理论) at that time. So most of the scientists didn’t believe or r 7 the value of her findings. What’s more, in that period, people seldom respected women. Anning’s findings were eveh published without her name. During her lifetime, the woman was never seriously considered to be a scientist. But such t 8 didn’t stop Anning from making more discoveries. The woman was still keen on studying different sizes and types of fossils alongside the sea. Some of them were as large as a huge rock while others were smaller than an egg. Until 1829, she carefully uncovered a skeleton of a fossil fish which made her k 9 among first-class scientists. Her discoveries helped to study some extinct (已灭绝的) animals.

It’s become a popular way to show that a person is pleased or happy. Where did it come from? Back in 1963, a company in the US was suffering from low employee morale(员工的士气). Everyone was worried they might lose their job, b 1 the company faced difficulty. It meant there were suddenly more employees than n 2 . To encourage employees to smile at work, the company hired an artist named Harvey Ball and expected him to come up with a good d 3 . Ball chose to make a happy face. It took him less than 10 minutes to draw a smiley face on a bright yellow background, which was then made into buttons(纽扣) that employees could wear on their jackets a 4 a reminder to smile at each other. The face soon became p 5 of the company’s culture and was introduced to the world. “It has r 6 everybody. Its message is as good as you can get,” Ball once said. By 1971, millions of smiley face buttons had been sold! He was p 7 of making something that made so many people feel good. He often said, “I made the world smile.” However, as much effort as Ball made, that “message” soon grew to become unusual. Just think about it: How many of us s 8 use the simple smiley face emoji just to say, “I’m smiling”? Chances are when we use it, we often mean, “I’m just going to ignore(忽视) you” or “That’s just perfect”—in a sarcastic(讽刺的) way. And our favourite emojis perhaps also i 9 the upside-down face or the face with tears of joy—both developed gradually from Ball’s original smiley face—and yet, both are often used sarcastically. Indeed, in today’s world, we are likely to act to many things with sarcasm instead of with a smile, perhaps because we’re finding it harder and harder to be happy. But we keep f 10 about the fact that happiness and smiling go both ways. That was probably what was in Ball’s mind when he first came up with the smiley face: a smile brings joy, and joy brings people closer together. 【答案】 1．(b)ecause 2．(n)eeded 3．(d)esign 4．(a)s 5．(p)art 6．(r)eached 7．(p)roud 8．(s)till 9．(i)nclude 10．(f)orgetting 【导语】本文主要介绍了表情符号中“微笑”符号的由来和发展。 1．句意：每个人都担心他们可能会失业，因为公司面临困难。根据“the company faced difficulty”可知因为公司有困难，所以每个人才担心失业，because“因为”。故填(b)ecause。 2．句意：这意味着突然出现了超出需求的员工。根据“Everyone was worried they might lose their job, because the company faced difficulty.”可知公司面临困难，员工害怕失业，意味着出现超出需求员工的情况，need意为“需要”，员工与need之间是被动关系。故填(n)eeded。 3．句意：为了鼓励员工在工作中微笑，公司聘请了一位名叫哈维·鲍尔的艺术家，并希望他能想出一个好的设计。根据后文“Ball chose to make a happy face. It took him less than 10 minutes to draw a smiley face on a bright yellow background, which was then made into buttons(纽扣) that employees could wear on their jackets …”可知这个笑脸是一位名叫哈维·鲍尔的艺术家设计的，由空前的“good”可知，空处要填名词design“设计”。故填(d)esign。 4．句意：鲍尔选择做一个开心的表情。他花了不到10分钟的时间在亮黄色的背景上画了一个笑脸，然后把它做成纽扣，员工可以戴在夹克上，提醒他们互相微笑。根据“a reminder to smile at each other”可知当他们戴在夹克上，才能提醒大家互相微笑，as意为“当……时”。故填(a)s。 5．句意：这张脸很快成为公司文化的一部分，并被介绍给了世界。根据“of the company’s culture”及首字母提示，可知此处指的是成为公司文化的一部分，part“部分”。故填(p)art。 6．句意：每个人都收到了。根据“…was introduced to the world”可知介绍给了世界，所以每个人都收到了，由空前的“has”可知空处要填过去分词，reach“到达”。故填(r)eached。 7．句意：他为自己做出的东西让这么多人感觉良好而感到自豪。根据“making something that made so many people feel good”可知自己做出的东西让这么多人感觉良好，他应该是自豪的，be proud of“以……为傲”。故填(p)roud。 8．句意：想想看：我们中有多少人仍然使用简单的笑脸表情符号来表达“我在笑”？根据后文“Chances are when we use it, we often mean, ‘I’m just going to ignore(忽视) you’ or ‘That’s just perfect’—in a sarcastic(讽刺的) way.”可知现在很少人使用简单的笑脸表情符号来表达“我在笑”，结合首字母提示，空处填still“仍然”符合语境。故填(s)till。 9．句意：我们最喜欢的表情符号可能还包括倒置的脸或喜极而泣的脸，这两个表情符号都是从鲍尔最初的笑脸逐渐发展而来的，但都经常被用来讽刺。根据“upside-down face or the face with tears of joy”可知倒置的脸或喜极而泣的脸都属于表情符号的一种，此处应填include“包括”符合语境。故填(i)nclude。 10．句意：但我们一直忘记这样一个事实，幸福和微笑是双向的。keep doing sth“一直做某事”，空处应填动名词；根据“the fact that happiness and smiling go both ways”及首字母提示可知，幸福和微笑是双向的这个事实一直被人们忘记，forget“忘记”。故填(f)orgetting。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
