解析
本题主要考查对词汇的理解和在具体语境中的运用能力。解题时需要根据句子的语义、语法结构以及上下文的逻辑关系，从所给的词汇库中选择合适的单词填入相应的空格。
- “There will always be people who are slow to adapt to changes in society, but ideally, more people should take the language 1) ____ of emojis seriously”，此句表达人们应该重视表情符号作为语言的某种东西。“language device”表示“语言工具”，符合语境，所以应填“device”。
- “as they are a big part of the 2) ____ of modern communication”，这里需要一个名词，结合语境，表情符号是现代交流的一种现象，“phenomenon”意为“现象”，故填“phenomenon”。
- “Emojis are not just a series of straightforward symbols, such as the “smiling face” emoji, that can help us express a(n) 3) ____ quickly”，根据“express”可知，表情符号能帮助我们快速表达某种东西，“emotion”表示“情感”，符合语义，所以填“emotion”。
- “but we should consciously make an effort to choose emojis that are 4) ____ from other emojis”，“be distinct from”是固定短语，意为“与……不同”，这里说要选择与其他表情符号不同的，故填“distinct”。
- “Of course, words and phrases can be 5) ____ differently by different people”，此句表示单词和短语会被不同的人以不同的方式使用，“be employed”表示“被使用”，符合语法和语义，所以填“employed”。
- “but this problem is greater with emojis, in part because emoji designs are not 6) ____ across platforms”，根据“across platforms”可知，这里说表情符号设计在不同平台上没有统一标准，“standardized”意为“标准化的”，故填“standardized”。
- “Sometimes, messages sent in a friendly way can even be interpreted as being 7) ____ by some”，结合“thus leading to confusion and conflict”可知，友好发送的信息可能会被一些人理解为冒犯的，“offensive”表示“冒犯的”，所以填“offensive”。
