7、ing emojis could be included in 2018?ACharacters with black hair.BCharacters with white skin.CCharacters with shaven heads.DCharacters with smiling faces.C细节理解题。根据第一段可知，红发人士和光头人士有可能会获得他们的专属表情符号，因为人们抱怨表情库中的表情符号不够丰富。如果这些表情符号获得批准，在2018年就可以增加到表情库里，此外，表情库里还会拥有灰白发、卷发以及非洲式发型等的新表情符号。所以C项正确。2Tattoos are reje

10、扰项分析】favorable意为“赞成的”，ambiguous意为“模棱两可的”，uncaring意为“不关心他人疾苦的”，都不符合题意。4What is the best title for the text?ANew Emojis to Be Added in 2018BComplaints about the Present Emojis CDemands for New and Informal EmojisDGlobal Protests Against Lack of DiversityA标题归纳题。通读上下文可知，本文介绍了表情库里将有可能增加红头发人士和光头人士等专属的表情符号

17、losest relationship with us?AAir. BWater.CFood. DHuman beings.C细节理解题。根据第一段中Mariette Dichristina所写的话“The most intimate(亲密的) relationship we will ever have is not with any fellow human being.Instead，it is between our bodies and our food”可知，我们最亲密的关系不是人与人之间的关系，而是我们的身体和食物之间的关系；据此可知，Mariette Dichristina认为
18、和我们关系最亲密的是食物，故C项正确。6What does the underlined word“foodie”in Paragraph 4 probably mean?ADelicious food.BA person fond of food.CA social media app.DA photo of delicious meals.B词义猜测题。根据第四段中的第二句“Its almost impossible nowadays to check our social media apps without at least two or three photos of delicio
19、us meals appearing on our screen”可知，这些人最喜欢在社交媒体软件上晒美食照片；结合画线词所在句子中的“thinks of themselves as a foodie”可以判断，该处画线词指人，故foodie意为“美食爱好者”，故B项正确。7Who can get help from food banks?APoor people in the UK.BPoor people in Africa.CStarving children in Kenya.DPeople in the droughtstricken.A细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的最后一句“But
20、 even in the UK，families on low incomes are forced to use food banksEuropean organizations that hand out donated food to those who cant afford to pay for it themselves”可知，即使是在英国，低收入家庭也被迫要使用食物银行；该组织是一个向那些无钱购买食物的人捐赠食物的欧洲组织。据此可知，贫穷的英国人可以获得食物银行的帮助，故A项正确。8Whats the best title for the text?ATreat Food as
21、a HobbyBTime to Appreciate FoodCFood Shortage in Some CountriesDHow to Spend World Food DayB标题归纳题。通读全文可知，许多人将美食当作嗜好，他们在社交媒体软件上晒美食照片，享受着美味食品，但是他们并没有想到在世界的许多地方人们还忍饥挨饿，这就是世界粮食日成立的原因。据此可知，“感激食物的时候”最能概括文章主旨，故B项正确。.完形填空(2019太原模拟)Leslie Morissettes son，Graham，was 6 years old when he was diagnosed with leuk
