二、阅读理解 （8分）（2016舟山模拟）
Do you know? The word “emoji” comes from Japanese. It means “picture
character”. And it was just added to Oxford Dictionary in 2013.
When you feel happy, you use a smiling face. When you agree, you send a
thumbs-up. We have never used emojis while messaging our friends as much as we do
today. That might be why Oxford Dictionary chose the “face with tears of joy” emoji
as their“Word of the Year 2015”.
“Emojis are no longer just for texting teenagers. Instead, they have been made
into a form of expression which can cross language barriers（障碍）,” The speaker of
Oxford Dictionary said,“Emoji culture has become so popular that characters have
their own trends and stories.”
The“face with tears of joy”was the world’s most used emoji in 2015, according
to a research from Oxford University Press.
Japan made emoji in the 1990s. They have become increasingly popular through
the years. Every day, about 6 billion emoji pictures are flying around the world
through mobile messaging apps. Young people especially love it. 72 percent of 18 to
25-year-olds find it easier to express their feelings with an emoji rather than through
the written word, according to a survey by TalkTalk, a London based mobile phone
company.
Not everyone thinks emojis are good things. Writer Jonathan, for example, says
emojis will reduce people’s language skills. He thinks people will get lazier by using
more emojis. But Professor Evans disagrees. He thinks that emojis are great for
communication.“It is not lazy to naturally look for more efficient（有效的）ways to
communicate with others,” he said.

1. The word “emoji” comes from___________.
A. Japanese
