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, 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 thesises and papers have been, quite properly, organised 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 the 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.
62. What is right about the deductive method and the inductive 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. 63. 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 arrived at sooner or later. 64. According to the author, a good scientific research is a process ． A. starting from details and ending in generalisations
B. where observations play more important role than expectations do C. where hypotheses are gradually tested before finally approved D. which cannot be started before enough evidences are collected 65. What does the last sentence of the passage mean?
A.The hypothetico-deductive method plays an important role in carrying out 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 difficult as carrying out the research.

When I was a senior in college, I came home for Christmas vacation and anticipated a fun-filled fortnight with my two brothers. We were so excited to be together and we volunteered to watch the store so that my mother and father could take their first day off in years. The day before my parents went to Boston, my father took me quietly aside to the little den behind the store. He took out a cigar box, opened it and showed me a little pile of newspaper articles. “What are they?” I asked.
Father replied seriously, “These are articles I’ve written and some letters to
the
7
8
editor that have been published.”
As I began to read, I saw at the bottom of each neatly clipped article the name Walter Chapman. “Why didn’t you tell me you’d done that?” I asked.
“Because I didn’t want your mother to know. She has always told me that since I didn’t have much education, I shouldn’t try to write. I wanted to run for some political office also, but she told me I shouldn’t try. I guess she was afraid she’d be embarrassed if I lost. I figured I could write without her knowing it, and so I did. When each item would be printed, I’d cut it out and hide it in this box. I knew someday I’d show the box to someone, and it’s you.”
He watched me as I read over a few of the articles and when I looked up, his big blue eyes were moist. “I guess I tried for something too big this last time,” he added.
“Did you write something else?”
“Yes, I sent some suggestions in to our church magazine on how the national nominating committee could be selected more fairly. It’s been three months since I sent it in. I guess I tried for something too big.”
This was such a new side to my fun-loving father that I didn’t quite know what to say, so I tried, “Maybe it’ll still come.”
“Maybe, but don’t hold your breath.” father gave me a little smile and a wink and then closed the cigar box.
The next morning our parents left on the bus to the railway station where they took a train to Boston. When I ran the store with my two brothers, I thought about the box. I’d never known my father liked to write. I didn’t tell my brothers. It was a secret between father and me.
Early that evening I looked out the store window and saw my mother get off the bus—alone.
“Where’s Dad?” We asked together.
“Your father’s dead,” she said without a tear.
She told us they had been walking through the Park Street Subway Station in the midst of crowds of people when father had fallen to the floor. A nurse bent over him, looked up at mother and said simply, “ He’s dead.” Mother had stood by father stunned, not knowing what to do as people tripped over him in their rush through the subway.
Mother told us the shocking tale without shedding a tear. Not showing emotion had always been a matter of discipline and pride for her. We didn’t cry either and we took turns waiting on the customers.
One steady patron asked, “Where’s the old man tonight?” “He’s dead,” I replied. “Oh, too bad,” and he left.
I’d never thought of father as an old man. He’d always been healthy and happy and he’d cared for frail mother without complaining and now he was gone. No more whistling, no more singing hymns while stocking shelves. “The old man” was gone.
On the morning of the funeral, I sat at the table in the store opening sympathy cards and pasting them in a scrapbook when I noticed the church magazine in the pile. Normally I would never have opened it, but maybe that sacred article might be there—and it was.
I took the magazine to the little den, shut the door, and burst into tears. I had
9
been brave, but seeing Dad’s bold recommendations in print was more than I could bear. I read and cried and then I read again. In the magazine I also found a two-page letter to my father from Henry Cabot Lodge, Sr., thanking him for the campaign suggestions. I took out the box and put them in it.
I didn’t tell anyone about the box.
66. Which one shows the order in which the events happened?
a. My father showed me a little pile of newspaper articles. b. Our parents took a train to Boston.
c. My father’s article to the church magazine was published. d. I came home for Christmas vacation. e. My father died in an accident.
f. My father sent some suggestions in to the magazine. A. f-d-a-b-e-c B. d-a-f-b-e-c C. d-f-c-a-b-e D. f-d-b-a-c-e
67. The underlined sentence “Not showing emotion had always been a matter of discipline and pride for her” does NOT show that . A. she is unwilling to share her feelings with others B. she is too proud to express her feelings C. she is used to being serious D. she is an emotional person
68. Why did the author burst into tears at last?
A. Because he thought of father’s whistling and singing hymns.
B. Because his father’s article to the church magazine was published. C. Because the box full of his father’s articles was yet unknown to people. D. Because he was moved by the funeral and the sympathy cards. 69. What’s the father’s attitude towards his writing?
A. He was ashamed of his writing so he hid the box. B. He was proud of his talent in writing.
C. He was interested in writing and found it great fun. D. He took writing as a means to make a living. 70. Which is the best title for this passage?
A. The Death of My Father B. Father and I C. The Mystery of A Hidden Box D. A Sad Christmas Vacation 第 II 卷（非选择题, 共两大题，35分）

When he rolls into a gas station to fill his tank, Barkhad Dahir doesn’t get out of his car. He pushes a few buttons on his cellphone and within seconds he has paid for the fuel. With the same quick pushes on his phone, he pays for virtually everything he needs: groceries at the supermarket, a few oranges from a market stall, or a cup of sweet milky tea from a café. ＂ Everyone here has his own bank with easy
access, ＂ boasts Mr. Dahir.＂Even lying in bed, you can be paying your bills.＂10
Electronic payments offer consumers convenience, provide revenue for banks, credit card companies and payment processors, and offer merchants improved cash flow and convenience. ＂I don’t even carry money any more, ＂ says Adan Abokor, a democracy activist. ＂I haven’t seen cash for a long time. Almost every merchant,
even hawker (小贩) on the street, accepts payment by cellphone. There’s no waiting for it and no counting of cash.＂
The system is impressively simple and secure. Purchases are made by dialing a three-digit number, entering a four-digit PIN, and then entering the retailer’s
payment number and the amount of money. Both customers and merchants receive text messages to confirm the payment.
Clearing up cash payments has several advantages as well. The printing and handling of money is expensive. Cash payments can be anonymous and hard to track criminal activities to be conducted in secret. Many governments favor reducing cash dealings in order to better monitor and understand the activities of their citizens. The Swedish government has been discussing the removing of cash since 2010.
However, some people doubt what members of a cashless society do when the power goes off. Do they choose to barter (物物交换) and rob? Do they sit at home and wait? What happens to people who rely on their cellphones to process money dealings when cell service and the Internet are interrupted? A world affected by terrorism and increasingly violent weather may not yet be ready to abandon currency. ＂ Ironically, the day after the largest bank in Norway, DNB, proposed
ending all cash dealings, I went to my local grocery store and when I tried to pay by phone, I was told that I needed to go to the ATM to get cash because the system was broken, ＂ said an interviewee.
Other people fear that electronic payments may create security and fraud risks and enable dealings to be tracked and reported.
Privacy, security and convenience are all important factors in the adoption of electronic payment technology. New technologies which balance and address these factors may enable people to remove cash.

六、书面表达： One possible version:
Chinese primary and secondary school students spend more time on their daily homework than those of many other countries. Meanwhile, the older they are, the less everyday sleep they have.
These phenomena have been highly valued by the Chinese government, who has decided to solve the problem effectively. On the other hand, many teachers are doing something to change the situation, freeing students from heavy extracurricular burdens.
Faced with fierce competition for admission to high schools or colleges and even for future employment, children have to struggle hard from an early age. As a result, their health is gradually damaged and development easily discouraged. Therefore, it is high time that the situation were changed. In this project the government certainly plays a vital role, but it is also important that the whole society, including parents, should abandon unreasonable traditional beliefs. Only in this way can educational reform be truly successful.
