Angela Guzman was born in Bogotd, Colombia. At the age of 8 she moved to a tiny island in South Florida. The contrast was pretty vast. She didn’t speak any English, so she met with lots of challenges. At school, she would get stuck because she couldn’t understand or be understood. She thought “Well, everyone understands a picture! Why don’t I start drawing to communicate?” That was what she did. She tried hard to create pictures to show her meanings exactly, and then she became known as the artist in the classroom, from third grade through her whole years of secondary schooling. Later she chose to study design in college.

When Angela began her work in a big company, she was tasked with designing emojis — the company’s very first. At first, she intended to refuse the task because she had no idea what the word meant and what emojis would be used for. Her mentor (导师) said that the emoji was an icon (图标), an image, or a type of illustration, sharing joy, surprise, anger, fear, sorrow, love and so on.

Angela then began to study micro-expressions of humans and simplify or exaggerate (夸大) them in an illustrative manner. For example, the eyebrows make a V in anger and an upside down V in surprise. When she designed object emojis, she often turned to real-life items. She went to the party supply store,buying party poppers (派对烟花) to watch how the colorful paper pieces came out, and how light reflected off them. They were hard to capture, but Angela tried to make it.

Later, the tiny icons Angela and her mentor created were born and soon used by millions of people. When people praised Angela for her emoji design, she replied, “Actually, it’s an experience that teaches me a lot. One major thing is empathy (同理心) for communities worldwide. I pay close attention to the symbolism of color and the cultural symbolism overall. I think the cultural questions are important. For example, how do we make sure that every culture, every accent, or every person that speaks to these devices feels included? That was something I struggled with early on. This kind of thinking allowed my mind to be inclusive and mindful of everyone who would use the product.”

24．What can we learn about Angela’s childhood?

A．She had a hidden talent for language.

B．She was good at communicating through drawing.

C．She often held views different from her classmates,

D．She was always on the move with her family.

25．How did Angela get inspiration for her emoji design?

A．By diving into real life.

B．By referring to some popular emojis.

C．By gaining related knowledge of emojis.

D．By seeking help from experienced people.

26．What mainly led to Angela’s success according to Paragraph 4?

A．Her mentor guided her in every detail.

B．Her design was inclusive of varied cultures.

C．She introduced color elements to her works.

D．She had a thoughtful attitude towards the poor.

27．Which is the most suitable title for the text?

A．What Influence a Mentor Has on a Girl

B．How a Humorous Girl Achieves Success

C．How a Girl Develops into an Emoji Designer

D．What Contributes to the Invention of Emojis

C

There is a famous story about how Walt Disney was inspired to build Disneyland. The story goes that during an afternoon visit to Griffith Park located near the Burbank Studios, Walt took a seat while his two young daughters rode the merry-go-round. Walt thought there should be a place where both children and their parents could enjoy spending some time together in an environment that would be both entertaining and pleasing to the eye, so with this thought came the idea for Disneyland.

Walt’s original plan was to build an eight-acre park located near the Burbank Studios that would be a place for his employees and their families. Those plans were put on hold because of the start of World War II. By 1952, Walt had created a special department to build the park.

Finally in 1953, the first steps in building the park happened when Walt hired the Stanford Research Institute to make a survey to determine the best possible location for the future park. Considering population growth and the future freeway construction, they finally found a location in Anaheim and 160 acres of land were bought for the site of the new park.

The building of the park was very expensive and to create funding for the project Walt developed the idea of the “Walt Disney’s Disneyland” television show. It turned out to be a marvelous idea — not only gaining the money to build the park but also presenting the park to the American public.

Construction officially began on July 21, 1954, and it was an ambitious (野心勃勃的) building schedule of less than one year to complete the new park for the projected opening day. Walt watched over the park’s construction and progress continued with just a few minor hold-ups. Finally, the park was ready for the Opening Day on July 17, 1955.

28．What inspired Walt Disney to build Disneyland?

A．The special design of Griffith Park.

B．A trip to a park with his daughters.

C．Requests from his family and employees.

D．The idea to build a park for his daughters.

29．What is mainly considered in choosing the location of Disneyland?

A．Walt Disney’s personal preference.

B．The natural environment.

C．The advice of the public.

D．Local traffic.

30．What does the underlined word “marvelous” in Paragraph 4 mean?

A．Funny. B．Wild.

C．Wonderful. D．Imaginative.

31．What can we learn about the construction process?

A．It was smooth generally.

B．It was affected by World War II.

C．It was completed later than expected.

D．It was influenced by a shortage of money.

A few weeks ago，when my mom and I were shopping，we ran into my teacher，who mentioned that the school didn’t have a music teacher to help our class put together a performance for Winter Fair.And，right then and there，my mom said，“I know the perfect song and dance.I’ll teach it to the kids!”

Before I could say “Please don’t，”my mom had agreed to come to my class every morning at 9：30 for a week.Oh，and just to be clear，it’s not as if she’s a professional entertainer (演员).My parents run a small grocery store，and the only singing my mom does is in the shower.

“Um，”I said on our way home，“are you sure this is such a good idea?”

“Of course!” she said.“If we want your school’s Winter Fair to happen，people need to step up and volunteer.”

“I know volunteering is important，” I said.“But couldn’t you help out in another way instead?”

She laughed.“Don’t be silly.We’ll have great fun!”

“OK，everyone，”my teacher said at 9：28 on Monday.“We’re going to stop silent reading a little early because a special guest is here to help us with a performance for Winter Fair.”

“Let’s all welcome Arizona’s mother.”

I looked up to discover my mom standing at the front of the room wearing the world’s silliest hat.

“I’m super excited to be here with you!”my mom said.“I’m going to teach you a fun little song­and­dance number I learned a few years back，when I did some theater in college.Here goes!”

Oh，please，oh，please，I said over and over in my head，let there be a fire drill (演习) or a power outage (停电)，or anything to stop my mom for completely embarrassing herself—and me!

But obviously，my mom was not at all concerned about looking silly.She turned on some background music and started singing and dancing away.

注意：1.续写词数应为150左右。

2.请按如下格式作答。

I closed my eyes，covered my ears，and shrank as low as I possibly could in my chair. ________________

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Not only did my mom turn out to be more than a little OK at performing，but she was also good at teaching us the song and the dance steps._________________________________________________________________
