（2020山东青岛黄岛区高二期中）

Recently I read Nineteen Eighty-Four, a novel by George Orwell set in a state where even the language they use is controlled. Adjectives are forbidden and instead they use phrases such as “ungood”, “plus good” and “double plus good” to express emotions. As I first read this I thought how impossible it would be in our society to have such vocabulary. However, the more I thought about it, the more I realized that in its own way it was already happening. I type messages to my friends and alongside each is the emoji. I often use it to emphasize something, or to not seem too serious, or because this specific GIF conveys my emotions much better than I ever could using just words. And I wonder, with our excessive use of emojis, are we losing the beauty and diversity of our vocabulary?

English has the largest vocabulary in the world, with over one million words, but who’s to say what it’ll be like in the future? Perhaps we will have a shorter language, full of saying “cry face” if something sad happens or using abbreviations （缩写） like LOL （laugh out loud） or BRB （be right back） instead of saying the full phrase. So does this mean our vocabulary will shrink? Is it the start of an exciting new era? Will they look back on us in the future and say this is where it all began-the new language? Or is this a classic case of the older generations saying, “Things weren’t like that when I was younger. We didn’t use emoticons to show our emotions”?

Yet when you look back over time, the power of image has always been there. Even in the prehistoric era they used imagery to communicate, and what’s even more incredible is that we are able to analyze those drawings and understand the meaning of them thousands of years later. Pictures have the ability to transcend time and language. Images, be it cave paintings or emojis, allow us to convey a message that’s not restrictive but rather universal.

1.Why does the author mention Nineteen Eight-Four?

A.To introduce the topic.

B.To show an example.

C.To give the reason.

D.To describe a phenomenon.

2.Why does the author like using emojis?

A.To reduce the use of words.

B.To save time of typing.

C.To express naturally and casually.

D.To make fun of friends.

3.Which of the following can best replace the underlined word “shrink” in Para. 2?

A.Disappear.B.Reduce.

C.Lower.D.Change.

4.What will the author agree with?

A.Emojis will destroy the variety of our vocabulary.

B.Emojis will replace English as the most popular language.

C.Emojis are useless and meaningless in modern life.

D.Emojis will not restrict our communication.

（2020江西南昌第二中学高二上期末）A qualified doctor who rarely practised but instead devoted his life to writing once said, “Medicine is my lawful wife and literature is my lover.” Russian writer Anton Pavlovich Chekhov was a great playwright (剧作家) and one of the masters of the modern short story.

When Chekhov entered the Medical School of Moscow University in 1879, he started to publish hundreds of comic short stories to support his family. After he graduated, he wrote regularly for a local daily newspaper.

As a writer he was extremely fast-often produced a short story in an hour or less. Chekhov’s medical and science experience can be seen from the indifference many of his characters show to tragic (悲惨的) events. In 1892, he became a full-time writer and published some of his most memorable stories.

Chekhov often wrote about the sufferings of civilians in small towns of Russia. Tragic events controlled his characters who were filled with feelings of hopelessness and despair.

It is often said that nothing happens in Chekhov’s stories and plays. He made up for this with his exciting techniques for developing drama within his characters. Chekhov’s works combined the calm attitude of a scientist and doctor with the sensitivity of an artist.

Some of Chekhov’s works were translated into Chinese as early as the 1940s. One of his famous stories, “The Man in a Case”, about a school teacher’s extraordinarily orderly life, was selected as a text for Chinese senior students.

We are here to share these essay writing suggestions in case you wish to write an essay for your own benefit. Writing your own statement of personal belief can be a powerful tool for self-reflection. It can also be a wonderful thing to share with family, friends and colleagues.     1     .

Be distinctive.

Take your belief out of the events that have shaped your core values. Consider moments when belief was formed or tested or changed.     2     . Your story need not be heart-warming or anxious-it can even be funny-but it should be specific to you. Make sure your story is tied to the essence of your daily life philosophy and the shaping of your belief.

Be brief.

    3     . That’s about three minutes when you read it aloud at your natural pace. So consider focusing on the core belief. In addition, write about what you do believe, and not what you don’t believe. Remember to avoid statements about religious beliefs.

    4     .

Make your essay about yourself; speak in the first person. Avoid speaking in “we”. Tell your personal belief; this is not an opinion about social ideals.     5     . We recommend you read your essay aloud to yourself several times, and each time edit it and improve it until you find the words, tone, and story that truly arouse your feelings, which can attract others then.  Keeping the above in heart and putting them into action, you will realize writing an essay just seems like an easy task.

A.Be appealing

B.Be personal

C.To guide you through this process, we offer some simple suggestions for you to follow

D.It’s important to know how to tell a story about yourself

E.Write in words and phrases that are comfortable for you to speak

F.Think of your own life, and tell the things you know that no one else does

答案：4.B
