21、act that English alone is proving not enough to meet the needs of 21st-century digital communication is a huge change, of Oxford Dictionaries. When one of his dictionary colleagues suggested using an emoji instead ofthe word “emoji "lig htbulbs went off" Until recently, Grathwohl, who is 4

22、4, avoided usingemojis altogether because he worried that he would look as if he “ watsying to get in on teenculture " ."I felt inauthentic. But I think there was a tipping point this year. It' s no】mainstream.”Some 76% of the UK adult population owns a smartphone, and of those, betwee

23、n 80% and90% use emojis. Worldwide, six billion are sent daily. The “facewith tears of joy “is the mostused, representing 20% of all UK and 17% of all US emoji use. It has overtaken the standardsmiley-face emoji in popularity, which may mean that emoji users are moving towards exaggeration or irony

24、or fun, or that all this emoji use has brought everyone to a higher emotional plane. Even if you don t send emojis yourself, you will probably receive them.How far do emojis function as a language? “ There a lsot of prejudice against emojis, ”Vyvyan Evans, a professor in linguistics at Bangor Univer

25、sity, says.le think the“y aArelot of peopa backward step, but this misunderstands the nature of human communication. T”he picture is more complicated, with emojis offering both greater freedom and limitations than verbal language.“ Emoji isn t a language as such. They don lop in the wtaydethvaet the

26、 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“ I love you, ” he says. 哎呀 “ )C, rIikloevye( you. ” He says it again. The first time I thin

27、k he means it; the second time we both know he doesn “t. Themeaning 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. " do think they are subtle(微妙)and rich, “Grathwohl says. “ They can me

28、an 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 traditional language that we understand? ” he asks.

29、“ That would be interesting.”61. The sentence “ lightbulbs went off ” (Para 2) means_t_h_a_t.A. the president became embarrassed and annoyedB. the president suddenly realized he was outdatedC. the suggestion was immediately adoptedD. the suggestion started a heated discussion62. The “ facewith tears

30、 of joy ” is more popular than smiley-face emoji, which means thatA. emoji is changing constantlyB. 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. Vyvyan Evans uses the sentence “ I love you ” as

31、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 following statement might Grathwohl agree with?A

32、. emoji is too childish for adultsB. people have the same explanation for an emojiC. using emoji can add fun to communicationD. emoji won t develop intloanaguageD“ Hypotheses, ” said Medawarin 1964,“ are imaginative and inspirational in characterare “ adventures of the mind ” . He was arguing in fav

33、our 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 theory starts with the basic, raw evidence of the senses

34、 simple, fair, unprejudiced observation. Out of these sensory data commonly referred to as “ facgtesne” ralis ations will form. The myth is that from a disorderly collection of factual information an orderly, relevant theory will somehow come out. However, the starting point of induction is an impos

35、sible one.There is no such thing as an unprejudiced observation. Every act of observation we make is afunction of what we have seen or otherwise experienced in the past. All scientific work of an experimental or exploratory nature starts with some expectation about the outcome. This expectation is a

36、 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, that some experiments are conducted and others are

37、not.Hypotheses arise by guesswork, or by inspiration, but having been started they can and mustbe tested thoroughly, using the appropriate method. If the predictions you make as a result of deducing certain consequences from your hypothesis are not shown to be correct then you abandon or adjust your

38、 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 imagination, you then move on to a strictly logical and

39、thorough process, based upon deductive argument therefore the term “ hypothetico-deductive ” .So don t 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 really wait until they have all the evidence in front

40、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, a medicine might prove to be a successful solution

41、 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 process involving guesses, reworkings, corrections, a

42、nd 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. Thesetheses and papers have been, quite properly, organised into a more logical order so that the wor

43、th 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 the fascinating book The Double Helix in which Watson

44、 （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 method according to the author?A. They cannot exist

45、 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 the author s main opinion shown in paragraph 2?A.

46、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 of evidences.67. Which of the following about a hypo

47、thesis 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 arrived at sooner or later.68. According to the a

48、uthor, a good scientific research is a process .A. starting from details and ending in generalisationsB. where observations play more role than expectations doC. where hypothesis are gradually tested before finally approvedD. which cannot be started before enough evidences are collected69. What does

49、 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 paper is as diff
