Bad news for people who frequently use the emoji：It is no longer cool.
In recent weeks，two generations have been debating in videos and comments on social media over the symbols of millennial(千禧一代) culture that are now considered uncool by Generation Z (born after 1996)．The symbols include the popular laughing crying emoji that some millennials (born in the 1980s)，including me，use hundreds of times a day, or more.
“Face with Tears of Joy”， the official name for the laughing crying emoji, is currently the most-used emoji on a website that shows real-time emoji use.
“What's wrong with the laughing crying emoji？” one user asked in a comment.Another responded，“It's so off.” In a different video, a woman says she's cut back on using it after learning kids don't.
“I use everything but the laughing crying emoji，” 21-year-old Walid Mohammed said.“I stopped using it recently because I saw older people using it, like my mom, my older sisters and just older people in general.”
For many Generation Zers，the emoji has become a popular replacement for conveying laughter.It's the visual version of the slang phrase “I'm dead” or “I'm dying”， which means something is very funny.Other acceptable choices — the emoji officially called “Loudly Crying Face”，or just writing “lol” (laughing out loud)．
“Tears of Joy was a victim of its own success，” said Gretchen McCulloch，the author of Because Internet：Understanding the New Rules of Language.“If you express digital laughter for years and years in the same way，it starts to feel insincere ...It gets worn out through continued use，” she said.That's why Generation Zers may be looking to fresh and novel ways to signal they're laughing in different ways.
“Older generations tend to use emojis literally while younger people get more creative，” said Jeremy Burge, the chief emoji officer of an emoji dictionary website.Generation Zers like to assign their own meanings to emoji，which then spreads to others, often through social media.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章谈论了网络上被广泛应用的表情符号不再像以前那么受欢迎了，正在被年轻一代淘汰这一现象并分析了其原因。
1．What is the author's attitude to the use of the laughing crying emoji
A．Curious. B．Favourable.
C．Uncaring. D．Impatient.
解析：观点态度题。根据第二段中提到的“The symbols include the popular laughing crying emoji that some millennials (born in the 1980s)，including me，use hundreds of times a day，or more.”可知，作者对笑哭表情符号的使用是赞许的。
√
2．What message does the author try to deliver by giving some examples of Generation Zers
A．They are fond of using emojis.
B．They use emojis very scientifically.
C．The Loudly Crying Face emoji is very popular.
D．The laughing crying emoji is losing its charm.
√
解析：推理判断题。根据第二段中提到的“两代人在社交媒体上的视频和评论中就千禧一代文化符号展开了辩论，Z一代认为这些符号不酷”和倒数第二段中的“Z一代可能会寻找新的方式表示他们在笑”等内容可知，作者试图传达“笑哭表情符号正在失去魅力”的信息。
3．What can we infer about 21-year-old Walid Mohammed
A．He wants to set himself apart from older people.
B．He is seeking to be perfect.
C．He is unwilling to accept something new.
D．He sticks to his own idea.
√
解析：推理判断题。根据第五段中Walid Mohammed 所说的“I use everything but the laughing crying emoji”和“I stopped using it recently because I saw older people using it ...in general.”可知，21岁的Walid Mohammed想把自己和老年人区分开来。
4．What's the problem with “Tears of Joy” according to Gretchen McCulloch

C．It has been used too much.
D．It hasn't received much attention.
√
解析：推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中Gretchen McCulloch 所说“If you express digital laughter for years and years in the same way, it starts to feel insincere ...It gets worn out through continued use”可知，Tears of Joy使用得太频繁了。
B
Everyone has a phone in their pocket nowadays, but how often do we really use them for their original purpose — to make a call Telephone culture is disappearing.What brought us to this moment, and what are its effects
“No one picks up the phone anymore，” wrote Alex C．Madrigal on The Atlantic.“The reflex (习惯性动作) of answering — 20th-century telephonic culture — is gone.”
The shift is of course due in large part to more communication options：texting with photos, videos, emojis, reaction gifs, links and even voice messages can be a more attractive option.
Texting is light and fun，not nearly as demanding of your attention as a phone call.It can also be done with multiple people at the same time.Social media, email and video calls have also eaten away at traditional phone calls.
In recent years，another reason has caused people to ignore phone calls completely：robocalls.Robocalls are automate (自动化的) messages from organizations verifying (核实) your phone number or telemarketers trying to sell something.Americans received 22.8 billion robocalls halfway through 2020, equaling an annual rate of 45.6 billion，slightly below 2018 numbers, according to a robocall protection service and blocking app.
As telephone culture disappears，what is the loss of a singular family phone doing to the family unit Early landline phones unified family members，whereas mobile phones isolate (隔离) them.
“The shared family phone served as an anchor(精神支柱) for home，” said Luke Fernandez，a Weber State University computer-science professor. “With smartphones，we have gained mobility and privacy.But the value of the home has been diminished, as has its ability to guide and monitor family behavior and perhaps connect families more closely，” Fernandez said.
Of course，as technology progresses，lives always change for better or for worse.With the loss of telephone culture, families will need to find other ways to unite.

A．People's wide range of communication choices.

解析：细节理解题。根据第三段提到的“The shift is ...a more attractive option.”可知，传统电话失去吸引力的原因是沟通选择更多了。
√
6．What can we infer from Fernandez's remark
A．Smartphones make families closer.
B．Smartphones help people monitor family behavior.
C．The use of mobile phone has affected family bonds.

Ⅱ.阅读七选五
Many people in America love Chinese food, but perhaps nobody can match David R Chan. Mr Chan is a 72-year-old former lawyer in Los Angeles. 9 If you visit one Chinese restaurant per day, it would take more than 20 years to reach his current count —7,812 restaurants.
Chinese food was cooked in the US for the first time by Chinese immigrants during the California Gold Rush in the mid-19th century. However, as a descendant (后裔) of Chinese grandparents who immigrated to California, Mr Chan did not eat Chinese food as a child. 10
11 As a new law removed restrictions on immigration from Asia, the US began to receive an increasing number of immigrants from China, bringing a variety of regional cuisines from across China.
In the 1970s, Mr Chan's interest in the history of American-Chinese began to grow. 12 “At the beginning, it was just a search for identity，” Mr Chan said. He saw what it was like to be Chinese in different parts of the country.
Mr Chan previously had no idea how varied it was, and in the following years, he tasted various Chinese food throughout the US. 13 Now, Mr Chan has been a really keen fan of Chinese cuisines, and has witnessed the development of the Chinese food in the US.
A．But things started to change in the late 1960s.
B．American-Chinese food tends to be localized.
C．He learned about the diversity of the Chinese food.
D．He started to dine at Chinese restaurants across the US.
E．Immigrants from China began to introduce Chinese food.
F．He dined at nearly 8,000 Chinese restaurants across the US.
G．When he first tried Chinese food, he was not impressed at all.
语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。陈先生的祖父母移居加州，作为后裔，陈先生在美国各地近8 000家中餐馆吃过饭，见证了中国菜在美国的发展。
9．选F 根据上下文可知，陈先生很喜欢吃中国菜，去过7 812家餐厅，无人能比。由此可推断，F选项“他在美国各地近8 000家中餐馆吃过饭。”符合上下文。选项中“近8 000家中餐馆”与前文提到的“没有人能与David R Chan相匹敌”呼应，又能和下一句中的“7 812家餐厅”相吻合。
10．选G 根据上文可知，下一句应该叙述陈先生首次吃到中国食物的情况，G选项“当他第一次尝试中国食品时，他根本没有深刻印象。”符合题意。
11．选A 根据下文并结合前一段提到的陈先生小时候没有吃过中国食物可知，这里描述的是发生的变化。A选项“但是在20世纪60年代后期，事情开始发生变化。”可引出空后发生的变化，符合题意。
12．选D 根据上下文可知，D选项“他开始在美国各地的中餐馆吃饭。”既承接上文“对华裔美国人的历史的兴趣开始增长”，也可以引出下文。其中后一句中的“it”指代选项中的“在美国各地的中餐馆吃饭”这件事，吃中国菜也代表寻找身份之旅。
13．选C 根据上文并结合“previously”可知，陈先生对中国菜的认识后来发生了变化。C选项“他了解了中国食品的多样性。”中的“diversity”可以呼应前句中的“how varied”和“various Chinese food”。4 / 4

8．选C 主旨大意题。根据第一段中“Telephone culture is disappearing.What brought us to this moment, and what are its effects？”可知，本文主要介绍了传统电话文化的衰落。
Ⅱ.阅读七选五
语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。陈先生的祖父母移居加州，作为后裔，陈先生在美国各地近8 000家中餐馆吃过饭，见证了中国菜在美国的发展。
9．选F 根据上下文可知，陈先生很喜欢吃中国菜，去过7 812家餐厅，无人能比。由此可推断，F选项“他在美国各地近8 000家中餐馆吃过饭。”符合上下文。选项中“近8 000家中餐馆”与前文提到的“没有人能与David R Chan相匹敌”呼应，又能和下一句中的“7 812家餐厅”相吻合。
10．选G 根据上文可知，下一句应该叙述陈先生首次吃到中国食物的情况，G选项“当他第一次尝试中国食品时，他根本没有深刻印象。”符合题意。
11．选A 根据下文并结合前一段提到的陈先生小时候没有吃过中国食物可知，这里描述的是发生的变化。A选项“但是在20世纪60年代后期，事情开始发生变化。”可引出空后发生的变化，符合题意。
12．选D 根据上下文可知，D选项“他开始在美国各地的中餐馆吃饭。”既承接上文“对华裔美国人的历史的兴趣开始增长”，也可以引出下文。其中后一句中的“it”指代选项中的“在美国各地的中餐馆吃饭”这件事，吃中国菜也代表寻找身份之旅。
13．选C 根据上文并结合“previously”可知，陈先生对中国菜的认识后来发生了变化。C选项“他了解了中国食品的多样性。”中的“diversity”可以呼应前句中的“how varied”和“various Chinese food”。
