13、解析(总分：30.00，做题时间：90 分钟)一、练习五(总题数：0，分数：0.00)二、Part A(总题数：1，分数：10.00)（分数：10.00）(1).All languages have two general levels of usage: a correct level and an incorrect level.（分数：1.00）A.正确B.错误 解析：解析 1-10Today I want to talk about levels of language usage.You probably have noticed that people express simila
14、r ideas in different ways, depending on the situation they are in.This is very natural. All languages have two general, broad categories, or levels of usage: a formal level and an informal level. English is no exception. Im not talking about correct and incorrect English.What Im talking about are tw
15、o levels of correct English. The difference in these two levels is the situation in which you use a particular level. Formal language is the kind of language you find in textbooks, reference books such as encyclopedias, and in business letters. For example, a letter to a university would be in forma
16、l style. You would also use formal English in compositions and essays that write in school. People usually use formal English when they give classroom lectures or speeches and at ceremonies such as graduations. We also tend to use formal language in conversations with persons we dont know well or wi
17、th people we have a formal relationship with, such as professors, bosses, doctors, friends of our parents, strangers, etc. Informal language is used in conversation with colleagues, family and friends, and when we write personal notes or letters to close friends, as well as in diaries, etc.Formal la
18、nguage is different from informal language in several ways. However, today Im going to talk only about a couple of ways. First of all, formal language tends to be more polite. Interestingly, it usually takes more words to be polite. For example, I might say to a friend or family member, “Close the d
19、oor, please,“ but to a stranger or someone in authority I probably would say “Would you mind closing the door?“ or “Excuse me, could you please close the door?“ Using words like “could“ and “would“ makes my request sound more polite, but also more formal. I want to be polite but not too formal with
20、my friends and family.Another difference between formal and informal language is some of the vocabulary. There are some words and phrases that belong in formal language and others that are informal. Let me give you a couple of examples of what I mean. Lets say “Im just crazy about soccer!“ But if I
21、were talking to my“ supervisor or a friend of my parents, I would probably say “I really enjoy soccer“ or“l like soccer very much.“ Lets say rm telling someone some news I heard about the police arresting a criminal.To my friend I might say,“the cops bagged the crook.“To my parents friend I might sa
22、y “The police arrested the thief.“Although the line between formal and informal language is not always clear and although people are probably less formal today than in the past, it is useful to be aware that these two levels, or categories, do exist.The best way for a nonnative speaker of English to
23、 learn the difference is to observe the different ways English speakers speak or write in different situations.Television newscasters, your college professors in class, your doctors in their offices, etc., will usually speak rather formally. However, your classmates, teammates, family members, frien
24、ds, etc. will generally speak in an informal fashion.The difference can be learned over time by observing and interacting with native speakers.(2).People usually use formal language when they first meet someone.（分数：1.00）A.正确 B.错误解析：(3).We tend to speak formally with colleagues.（分数：1.00）A.正确B.错误 解析：(

Th
28、ey go to the mountains or to the seashore to escape the city noise and heat. Over 2,000 years ago, many rich Romans did the same thing.They left the city of Rome in the summer. Many of these wealthy Romans spent their summers in the city of Pompeii. Pompeii was a beautiful city; it was located on th
29、e ocean, on the Bay of Naples.In the year 79 A.D., a young Roman boy. named Pliny the Younger, was visiting his uncle in Pompeii. One day Pliny was looking up at the sky. He saw a frightening sight. It was a very large dark cloud.This black cloud rose high into the sky. What Pliny saw was the erupti
30、on -the explosion -of the volcano, Vesuvius.The city of Pompeii was at the foot of Mt.Vesuvius.When the volcano first erupted, many people were able to flee the city and to escape death. In fact, 18,000 people escaped the terrible disaster: Unfortunately, there was not enough time for everyone to es
31、cape. More than 2,000 people died.These unlucky people were buried alive under the volcanic ash. The eruption lasted for about three days. When the eruption was over, Pompeii was buried under 20 feet of volcanic rock and ash.The city of Pompeii was buried and forgotten for i,700 years.In the year 17
32、48 an Italian farmer was digging on his farm. As he was digging, he uncovered a part of a wall of the ancient city of Pompeii. Soon archaeologists began to dig in the area. As time went by, much of the ancient city of Pompeii was uncovered.Today tourists come from all over the world to see the ruins

As we all know, there are.great problems inherent in specialist conferences concentration on specific areas of scientific research.This
35、 was the chief reason for us to plan a truly interdisciplinary conference on the complex subject of decision sciences. Equally, however, there are dangers in bringing together so many experts from so many different disciplines. It takes a genuine effort for a person in one discipline to listen to so
36、mething else which may be totally unfamiliar to him. Not only to listen, but to absorb.The benefits from it are, however, substantial. The work of others may.help us define our own work more clearly and may give us ideas for future work which we would not otherwise be able to obtain.Well, now, in th
37、e final session, we are going to consider societal decision making, and this theme will be introduced by our first speaker, Dr. Martin from Cambridge University.
