训练5 【语篇解读】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要论述了表情包能否提高语言能力。
1. especially 句意:表情包是在互联网上,尤其是社交媒体上传播的幽默的图片、视频、文字或GIF。修饰空后短语on social media,应用副词。故填especially。
2. of 句意:最近的一份报告显示,不同年龄段的人对这个流行的微笑狗表情包的含义有不同的理解方式。“the meaning of”表示“……的含义”。故填of。
3. feeling(s) 句意:当你给别人留言时,很难表达你的感受,因为他们看不见你,听不到你的语气。根据空前“your”可知此处应用名词。故填feeling(s)。
4. making 句意:这些图片很容易被任何人理解,使它们成为一种共同的语言。分析句子结构可知,句中已有谓语动词are,此处应用动名词形式作结果状语。故填making。
5. more exciting 句意:它们也使语言更加令人兴奋。“make sb/sth+形容词”表示“某人/某物怎么样”;根据下文“A meme can enrich our language”可知表情包可以丰富我们的语言,由此可知表情包能使语言更加令人兴奋,暗含比较含义。故填more exciting。
6. to 句意:表情包可以通过为表达增添乐趣并赋予单词额外的效果来丰富我们的语言。“add ... to”表示“添加……到”。故填to。
7. pick 句意:如果人们在书写时找不到合适的单词来表达自己的情绪,他们应该查字典,仔细挑选。情态动词“should”后接动词原形。故填pick。
8. to mean 句意:人们可以用同样的表情包来表达不同的意思。“use sth to do sth”表示“用某物做某事”。故填to mean。
9. readers 句意:如果读者以不同的方式理解表情包,这可能会让他们感到困惑。根据空后“they”可知此处应用名词的复数形式。故填readers。
10. Though/Although 句意:虽然有时一个表情包可能会单独起作用,但很多表情包一起使用时,表达的意思不如一个精心撰写的句子清晰。上下文是转折关系。故填Though/Although。
