二、阅读理解
(2017·山东东营中考)Nowadays, with the development of the Internet, emoji(表情符号) are more and more popular among netizens(网民). Some people even feel difficult to talk online without using emoji. Emoji help netizens to communicate with each other easily and vividly(生动地). Yet, not all emoji are properly used on social media. So we are going to introduce some common but confusing(令人困惑的) emoji to help you have a better understanding of these small signs.
1．A recent survey shows, over 53% people use the emoji when they are chatting online. Some people think it means “I'm shy.”， but others only use it when they are surprised or shocked. But what does it really mean? It is still an unsolved(未解决的) question.
2．What do you think of this sign? Believe it or not, 80% of netizens use it under the meaning of “It is not funny at all, but I have to smile.” Is it right? Of course not! It actually means that “I saw what you did (usually bad things) and I want to give you a sinister(奸诈的) smile.”
3．People have very different opinions on this emoji. The Apple company has told that this emoji means “high five(嗨，击掌)”. But most people still use the incorrect meaning—“pray”. Some netizens even thought, “If you see this emoji as two people give each other a high five, you must be a bad guy.”
4．According to the official guidelines(官方指南), it is used as “smile through
6
tears(破涕为笑)”. However, most young netizens consider this emoji as “laugh to tears” or simply “LOL”， which means “laugh out loud”．
You see, emoji are also a kind of language. And different people have different understanding of them.
1．After reading the passage, we still can't understand the emoji well.
2．You are playing with your mobile phone while you are doing your homework, your brother sends you this sign ， what does he mean?
A．Stop doing your homework.
B．Send this emoji back to your father.
C．Go on playing with your mobile phone.
D．Put away your mobile phone and do your homework.
3．When your friend tells you online that he won the first prize in the writing competition, which emoji will you send him?
4．The fourth sign means “ ”．
A．cry out loud B．laugh to tears
C．smile through tears D．laugh out loud
5．Why does the writer introduce these four emoji?
A．Because they are more important.
B．Because they are not so common.
C．To help netizens use them easily.
D．To help the netizens use them properly.
三、动词填空
阅读下面短文，用括号内所给动词的适当形式填空(必要时可加情态动词或助动词)。
Drawing might help you think
When you're sitting in class, have you ever drawn pictures in the margins of your notebooks?
If so, your teacher might have told you 1. (stop). Many people think of doodling(涂鸦)
6
as a distraction(精神涣散) from more important things. But it might be just the opposite.
One study shows that doodling may help you 2. ( remember) things you hear. In 2009 researchers asked two groups of people to listen to a phone message. One group 3. (encourage) to doodle, but the other was not. Neither group knew that it would be asked to remember information from the message. But the group that doodled remembered 29 percent more.
Other people 4. (suggest) other uses for drawing. Jesse Prinz, a professor who studies doodling, says it can help you think creatively. 5. (walk) away from a problem to draw might actually help you solve it. When you come back, you 6. (have) a fresh perspective and figure out an answer more quickly.
Two years ago, an author named Sunni Brown 7. (write) a book on doodling. She argues that doodling is a tool that can help people think. She admits that people see doodling as doing nothing, but she wants to change that. In fact, she runs a business that helps companies improve organization and planning through doodling. Brown 8. (believe) doodling is helpful because it incorporates(整合) many ways of learning. You learn in four ways: seeing, hearing, reading or writing, and through movement. The more ways you use, the better you learn. And when you doodle while you 9. (listen) to a lecture, you use all four.
You might think that being good at 10. (draw) is important for doodling. But if the point of doodling is to help you think, then it doesn't matter what the picture looks like. Even if you're not an artist, doodling can help you. So next time you need help focusing, pick up a pen and doodle away!
四、阅读表达
阅读短文，根据要求完成下面各小题。
(2019·预测)In Australia, primary school students have much free time. Every day, they begin their lessons at about 9：00 in the morning and finish them at 3：00 in the afternoon. And Australian pupils have less homework than Chinese students. Usually they only get their homework on a piece of paper from the teacher once a week.
Having finished their homework at home, some children watch TV, some play games and some children practice playing some instruments(乐器) for a while. Sometimes children help set the table or do other housework; sometimes they just feed and play with their pets. If an Australian child loves reading, he can spend some time reading what he likes.
When weekends come, what do Australian children do? They are not busy doing their homework.

What they do is helping clean the house, renting(租) a video to watch，or going out for a picnic with their friends or families.
