第二部分 阅读理解（满分20分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
"Big tobacco" is what the bosses of several large technology firms have started calling Facebook． Being compared to the tobacco giants is far from praise， but it is not the only wide﹣spread analogy（比拟）． A lower blow is the suggestion that Facebook may become like Yahoo， the once high﹣flying internet firm that fell．
Even a year ago the idea would have been unthinkable． But since January Facebook has become trapped in a series of misjudgments and missteps． It became clear that it had done too little to stop Russian interference（干涉） in America's election in 2016． It had to admit that it had shared the personal data of 90m users with outside firms without permission．
The comparison to Yahoo is imperfect． Even at its peak Yahoo's business was never as large and profitable as Facebook's． One of the main reasons Yahoo declined is because it lost out to a powerful competitor， Google， in online search； Marissa Mayer， its boss from 2012 until its sale to Verizon last year， was unable to restore advertisers' or employees' confidence as users left．
But people who watched Yahoo's falling see similarities． Executive（主管） turnover was a leading indicator of its decline； before Ms． Mayer was hired Yahoo went through four chief executives in three years． Mr． Zuckerberg， who controls the majority of Facebook's voting shares， is not leaving， but many top executives are． This year several have announced their departures， including Facebook's chief security officer．
When advertisers' faith in Facebook has been shaken， politicians in Washington are running out of patience with the company． Lawmakers' inspection of the firm is causing it to be more cautious about how it uses data for targeting advertisements and about what information it makes available to outsiders．
Mr． Zuckerberg and Ms． Sandberg are under pressure to prove to employees and advertisers that Facebook is not only trustworthy but worthy of their time and money． If they cannot do so， and the company's share price continues its slide， it is possible that Ms． Sandberg will be replaced in the next year． Mr． Zuckerberg will doubtless have thoughts about Yahoo's sorry tale．
1、For Facebook being compared to "big tobacco" is　 　．
A．positive
B．ambitious
C．creative
D．negative
2、According to the author， what does Facebook currently have in common with the failed Yahoo？
A．Letting out users' data．
B．Being deep in financial crisis．
C．Leaders are leaving the company．
D．Laying off a large number of employees．
3、The author tries to support his judgment about Facebook by　 　．
A．questioning its management
B．using evidence related to it
C．analyzing its financial data
D．listing its advantages and disadvantages
4、What is the main idea of the passage？
A．Facebook gets trapped in trouble．
B．Two companies are deep in crisis．
C．How to save Facebook．
D．Faith is more valuable than gold．

B
People who have red hair and people who are losing their hair could finally get their own emoji(表情符号). The Emojipedia website has shown new emojis following demands that they should be more diverse. If its ideas are approved, the new emojis could be added in 2018, alongside new characters that have grey, curly or Afro hair.
“New styles focus on appearances that aren’t currently supported in the informal skin tone and hair color pairings(组合) used on many cellphones,” showed one page on the website. The page gave Jessica Chastain and Ed Sheeran as examples of people with red hair. Sinead O’Connor and Samuel L Kackson were given as examples of people with no hair or a shaven head.
The emojis could be released in 2018 if chosen by the Unicode Consortium which met in January 2017 following a number of complaints about lack of diversity. “Non-naturally occurring features, such as blue hair and tattoos, are not included in this project,” the website added.
At the end of 2016, Apple published its iOS 10.2 software update which included 72 new emojis such as firefighters astronauts, rockstars and so on. But people who have red hair were notably absent, causing a global protest.
A website in Scotland demanding ginger emojis got 20,000 signatures. The main issue is that there is one organization, known as Unicode Consortium, who controls emojis on iPhone.
In March a new list of emojis was published by Emojipedia which might be released later this year. However, the emojis need to be approved by the Unicode Technical Committee before people can use them.
In 2015, ginger emojis were published on the Google Play Store for Android. But up until now, the Unicode Consortium has not been willing to give in to ginger campaigners.
1、Which of the following emojis could be included in 2018?
A．Characters with black hair. B．Characters with white skin.
C．Characters with shaven heads. D．Characters with smiling faces.
2、Tattoos are rejected by the Unicode Consortium because ________.
A．there is no demand for them B．people dislike such emojis
C．they are out of fashion D．they are not natural identity
3、What is the Unicode Consortium’s attitude to ginger emojis?
A．Favorable. B．Ambiguous.
C．Disapproving. D．Uncaring.
4、What is the best title for the text?
A．New Emojis to BE Added in 2018
B．Complaints about the Present Emojis
C．Demands for New and Informal Emojis
D．Global Protests against the Lack of Diversity

When I intended to tell my four-year-old niece Lisa the story Snow White write by the Grimm Brothers, my elder sister stopped me immediate and gave me another storybook. When I asked if she has told Lisa the story, she shook her head and said, “I don’t think girl today should listen to this story.” I was confusing. Later, my sister explained how. In this story, Snow White does nothing to rescue herself. Instead of, she depends on others’ help. My sister doesn’t want her daughter to learn just to turn to others help. She wants her to learn to be brave and independence. That’s why my sister doesn’t want to tell herself such stories as Snow White.
