Its spelled . Actually, it isnt spelled at all, because it contains no letters, just a “face with tears of joy” emo

21、ji. “The fact that English alone is proving not enough to meet the needs of 21st-century digital communication is a huge change,” says Caspar Grathwohl, president of Oxford Dictionaries. When one of his dictionary colleagues suggested using an emoji instead of the word “emoji”, “lightbulbs went off”

22、. Until recently, Grathwohl, who is 44, avoided using emojis altogether because he worried that he would look as if he “was trying to get in on teen culture”. “I felt inauthentic. But I think there was a tipping point this year. Its now moved into the mainstream.” Some 76% of the UK adult population

23、 owns a smartphone, and of those, between 80% and 90% use emojis. Worldwide, six billion are sent daily. The “face with tears of joy” is the most used, representing 20% of all UK and 17% of all US emoji use. It has overtaken the standard smiley-face emoji in popularity, which may mean that emoji use

24、rs are moving towards exaggeration or irony or fun, or that all this emoji use has brought everyone to a higher emotional plane. Even if you dont send emojis yourself, you will probably receive them.How far do emojis function as a language? “Theres a lot of prejudice against emojis,” Vyvyan Evans, a

25、 professor in linguistics at Bangor University, says. “A lot of people think they are a backward step, but this misunderstands the nature of human communication.” The picture is more complicated, with emojis offering both greater freedom and limitations than verbal language. “Emoji isnt a language a

26、s such. They dont develop in the way that the natural language does. But they are working according to the same principles of communication as the spoken language. What is the value of an emoji? I think I can prove this with an ordinary sentence.” There is a pause. “I love you,” he says. “Crikey(哎呀)

27、, I love you.” He says it again. The first time I think he means it; the second time we both know he doesnt. “The meaning is coming from extra-language factors,” he says. “Emojis are performing the same function in digital speech.” Like any sort-of language, emoji is evolving. “I do think they are s

28、ubtle(微妙) and rich,” Grathwohl says. “They can mean different things to different people. The fact that we are using emoji in combination to express more complex ideas and experiences is one of the most fun and playful parts of the whole words. Will emoji finally come to look something more like tra

29、ditional language that we understand?” he asks. “That would be interesting.”61. The sentence “lightbulbs went off” (Para 2) means that _.A. the president became embarrassed and annoyedB. the president suddenly realized he was outdated C. the suggestion was immediately adopted D. the suggestion start

30、ed a heated discussion62. The “face with tears of joy” is more popular than smiley-face emoji, which means that _.A. emoji is changing constantly B. smiley-face emoji is too traditionalC. adults have more sorrow than joy in their daily lifeD. people like to express their emotions in a richer way63.

31、Vyvyan Evans uses the sentence “I love you” as an example (Para 4) to prove that _.A. emoji can express the real meaning behind wordsB. emoji is different from the natural languageC. people feel free to use emoji in communicationD. emoji will limit people in expressing their feelings64. Which of the

32、 following statement might Grathwohl agree with?A. emoji is too childish for adults B. people have the same explanation for an emojiC. using emoji can add fun to communication D. emoji wont develop into a languageD“Hypotheses,” said Medawarin 1964, “are imaginative and inspirational in character”; t

33、hey are “adventures of the mind”. He was arguing in favour of the position taken by Karl Popper that the nature of scientific method is hypothetico-deductive and not, as is generally believed, inductive. The myth(误区) of scientific method is that it is inductive: that the formulation of scientific th

34、eory starts with the basic, raw evidence of the senses simple, fair, unprejudiced observation. Out of these sensory data commonly referred to as “facts” generalisations will form. The myth is that from a disorderly collection of factual information an orderly, relevant theory will somehow come out.

35、However, the starting point of induction is an impossible one. There is no such thing as an unprejudiced observation. Every act of observation we make is a function of what we have seen or otherwise experienced in the past. All scientific work of an experimental or exploratory nature starts with som

36、e expectation about the outcome. This expectation is a hypothesis. Hypotheses provide the motivation for the inquiry（探究），and influence the method. It is in the light of an expectation that some observations are held to be relevant and some irrelevant, that one method is chosen and others abandoned,

37、that some experiments are conducted and others are not. Hypotheses arise by guesswork, or by inspiration, but having been started they can and must be tested thoroughly, using the appropriate method. If the predictions you make as a result of deducing certain consequences from your hypothesis are no

38、t shown to be correct then you abandon or adjust your hypothesis. If the predictions turn out to be correct then your hypothesis has been supported and may be kept until such time as some further test shows it not to be correct. Once you have arrived at your hypothesis, which is a product of your im

39、agination, you then move on to a strictly logical and thorough process, based upon deductive argument therefore the term “hypothetico-deductive”. So dont worry if you have some idea of what your results will tell you before you even begin to collect data; there are no scientists in existence who rea

40、lly wait until they have all the evidence in front of them before they try to work out what it might possibly mean. The closest we ever get to this situation is when something happens by accident; but even then the researcher has to make a hypothesis to be tested before being sure that, for example,

41、 a medicine might prove to be a successful solution to bacterial(细菌) infection. The hypothetico-deductive method describes the logical approach to much research work, but it does not describe the psychological behaviour that brings it about. The psychological behaviour is a much more complicated pro

42、cess involving guesses, reworkings, corrections, and above all inspiration, in the deductive as well as the hypothetic component. However, describing the logical approach is like writing the final thesis(毕业论文) or published papers of research work. These theses and papers have been, quite properly, o

43、rganised into a more logical order so that the worth of the output may be evaluated independently of the behavioural processes by which it was obtained. It is the difference, for example between the academic papers with which Crick and Watson demonstrated the structure of the DNA molecule(分子) and th

44、e fascinating book The Double Helix in which Watson (1968) described how they did it. From this point of view, the scientific method may more usefully be thought of as a way of writing up research rather than as a way of carrying it out.65. What is right about the deductive method and the inductive

45、method according to the author?A. They cannot exist in a research at the same time.B. The former one is of greater importance than the latter.C. The latter one is more scientific than the former one.D. The former is closer to the nature of scientific research.66. Which of the following best supports

46、 the authors main opinion shown in paragraph 2?A. Usually facts are more convincing than predictions.B. People always observe based on what they have seen or experienced. C. It is impossible to generalize disorder facts into orderly theories.D. People all begin scientific work with the observation o

47、f evidences.67. Which of the following about a hypothesis is right？A. It functions as a guide in the process of a scientific research.B. It works as a means that can help make unprejudiced observations.C. It is an expectation unrelated to guesswork and inspiration.D. It is a prediction which will be

48、 arrived at sooner or later. 68. According to the author, a good scientific research is a process _.A. starting from details and ending in generalisations B. where observations play more role than expectations doC. where hypothesis are gradually tested before finally approved D. which cannot be star

49、ted before enough evidences are collected69. What does the last sentence of the passage mean?A. The hypothetico-deductive method plays an important role in describing a research. B. The scientific method is more a way of describing research than a way of doing it.C. Describing the logical approach is harder than describing the psychological behaviour. D. Writing up a scientific research p
