(2019·沈阳质检)People who have red hair and people who have lost 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(搭配) 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 Jackson 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.“Nonnaturally 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.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文，文中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。
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.
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。]
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
D [细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的“Nonnaturally occurring features，such as blue hair and tattoos，are not included in this project”可知，诸如蓝头发和文身之类不是自然产生的特征是不被包括在这个项目中的。因此D项正确。]
3．What is the Unicode Consortium's attitude to ginger emojis?
A．Favorable. B．Ambiguous.
C．Disapproving. D．Uncaring.
C [推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“But up until now，the Unicode Consortium has not been willing to give in to ginger campaigners”可知，直到现在，统一码协会仍然不愿给姜黄发色的抗议者们使用姜黄发色人士专属的表情符号，故统一码协会的态度是“不赞成的(Disapproving)”。故选C项。]
【干扰项分析】 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。
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 Lack of Diversity
A [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，并讲述了增加这些表情符号的原因，故A项最适合作标题。]
