A When it comes to writing work emails，there are many rules to follow. In the past，people always wanted to come across as someone who's calm and professional，which workplace manners experts say means they wanted to hold back their love for emoticons(表情符号)while on the job.‎ But language is always changing，and a recent national survey in the US found that 76 percent of Americans said that they had used emoticons in digital communication at work. The most popular emoticon is the happy face.‎ Lindsey Pollak，a US career coach who works with Millennials(千禧一代)，has also noticed that emoticons have gone from being inappropriate for the workplace to being accepted. The reason behind this，according to her，is largely due to the changing of people in a particular age group of the workforce .Millennials are now the biggest generation in the American workforce.“A few years ago，emoticons were absolutely seen as very young and very personal，”Pollak said，“Over the past few years...I've seen emoticons become more acceptable. I see them more frequently not just from Millennials but from all generations at the workplace.”‎ ‎“People tend to use emoticons to just add that little bit of extra change in the tone when there's something awkward or potentially offensive，or when they might take in things in the wrong way，”explains Lauren Collister, a sociolinguist. In life and work，many of us have used emoticons to send positive atmosphere or soften statements.‎ Pollak，however，warns against being too casual at work. Her advice is to be aware of who the audience is. “Frankly，I wouldn't use a happy face with any CEO in the US.I wouldn't use a happy face with the people of a certain level no matter how commonplace and acceptable it has become，”she said，“You can make or break a relationship with one email these days.”‎ ‎【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文。向我们介绍了表情符号在工作邮件中的使用越来越流行的原因以及人们对此要注意的方面。‎ ‎1．What does the author say about past working people?‎ A．They were calm and professional.‎ B．They used more serious emoticons.‎ C．They were not fond of emoticons.‎ D．They avoided using emoticons at the workplace.‎ ‎【答案】D ‎【解析】考查细节理解。根据第一段中的“they wanted to hold back their love for emoticons(表情符号)while on the job”可知，以前的职员在工作中抑制自己对表情符号的喜爱，即避免使用表情符号。故选D。根据第一段中的“people always wanted to come across as someone who's calm and professional”可排除A项。 的冲击。作者表达了自己对未来报业的担忧 。 ‎ ‎ ‎ C I told my friend Graham that I often cycle two miles from my house to the town centre but unfortunately there is a big hill on the route. He replied，“You mean fortunately.”He explained that I should be glad of the extra exercise that the hill provided.‎ My attitude to the hill has now changed. I used to complain as I approached it but now I tell myself the following. This hill will exercise my heart and lungs. It will help me to lose weight and get fit. It will mean that I live longer. This hill is my friend .Finally I comfort myself with the thought of all those silly people who pay money to go to a gym and sit on stationary exercise bicycles when I can get the same value for free. I have a smile of satisfaction as I reach the top of the hill.‎ Problems are there to be faced and overcome. We cannot achieve anything with an easy life. Helen Keller was the first deaf and blind person to gain a university degree. Her activism and writing proved inspirational. She wrote，“The character cannot be developed with ease. Only through experiences of suffering can the soul be strengthened, vision cleared, ambition inspired and success achieved.”‎ One of the main determinants of success in life is our attitude towards adversity. From time to time we all face hardships，problems，accidents and difficulties. Some are of our making but many are no fault of our own. While we cannot choose adversity，we can choose our attitude towards it.‎ Douglas Bader was 21 when in 1931 he had both legs cut off following a flying accident. He was determined to fly again and went on to become one of the leading flying aviators in the Battle of Britain with 22 aerial victories over the Germans. He was an inspiration to others during the war. He said，“Don't listen to anyone who tells you that you can't do this or that. That's nonsense. Make up your mind，and you'll never use crutches or a stick，and then have a go at everything. Go to school，and join in all the games you can. Go anywhere you want to. But never，never let them persuade you that things are too difficult or impossible.”‎ The biographies of great people are full of examples of how they took steps to overcome the difficulties they faced. The common thread is that they did not become depressed. They chose their attitude. They chose to be positive. They took on the challenge. They won. Nevertheless，there is still the problem of how you change your attitude towards adversity.‎ ‎【语篇解读】　本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。“我”骑自行车去镇中心时要经过山地，“我”经历了从开始的抱怨到将山地当作锻炼契机的过程。人生之旅也是如此，我们要有战胜生活中的艰难的勇气。‎ ‎9．Which of the following is TRUE according to the author of the passage?‎ A．Those who want to achieve success can't expect to live an easy life.‎ B．Climbing hills on bicycles is the best way to take exercise.‎ C．Going to a gym is greatly beneficial to people's health.‎ D．People's attitude to hardships is the only factor of their success.‎ ‎【答案】A　‎ ‎【解析】考查推理判断。根据第三段的第二句“We cannot achieve anything with an easy life.”可知，简单容易的生活不会使我们取得成功；据此可以推断，想要成功就不要期望过容易的生活。 ‎ ‎10．By quoting what Douglas Bader said，the author intends to tell us “ ”．‎ A．Failure is the mother of success B．A bad workman quarrels with his tools C．Nothing is difficult to the man who will try D．If you risk nothing，you will have nothing ‎【答案】C　 ‎ ‎11．Following this passage，the author will further talk about ．‎ A．how his friend helped him to change his attitude towards the challenge he faced B．why it is important to keep optimistic in the face of trouble C．what steps to take to change your attitude towards the difficulties you face D．what great people have in common ‎【答案】C　 ‎ ‎【解析】考查推理判断。根据文章最后一句“Nevertheless，there is still the problem of how you change your attitude towards adversity.”可知，如何改变面对困难的态度仍然是一个问题；据此可以判断，下文将就此问题作进一步的阐述 。 ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎12．Which of the following can best function as the title of the passage?‎ A．Different attitudes towards misfortune B．Face difficulties with a smile C．Nothing is impossible D．Life is full of adversity ‎【答案】B　 ‎
