Ⅱ.【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文。

文章主要讲述了中国有着3000多年历史的甲骨文正在被年轻的微信用户们作为表情包广泛使用。

1.closer　考查形容词比较级。

与语境中比较级符号than呼应可知,此处用形容词比较级形式作宾语补足语。

2.as　考查连词。

as…as…意为“像……一样”,引导比较状语从句,符合语境。

3.creator　考查词性转换。

根据语境中said可知,此处表示人的概念,故用名词creator。

4.The　考查冠词。

which引导非限制性定语从句,在从句中作主语,修饰先行词thecharacterfor“zui”。

6.tolook　考查非谓语动词。

此处不定式作目的状语,和句子谓语create之间没有连词。

7.featuring　考查非谓语动词。

feature和句子谓语view之间没有连词,和句子主语acartoonvideoclip构成逻辑上的主动关系,故用现在分词作定语。

8.wasincluded　考查动词时态和语态。

与语境in2016呼应可知,此处表示过去发生的事情,且include和句子主语theancienttypeface构成逻辑上的被动关系,故用一般过去时的被动语态。

9.but/yet　考查连词。

根据语境可知,上下句表示逻辑上的转折关系,故用连词but/yet。
