What principles are supposed to be taken into account when writing a scientific and technical paper？ You can choose more than one answer.

Engineering students are supposed to be examples of practicality and rationality, but when it comes to my college education I am an idealist and a fool. In high school ! wanted to be an electrical engineer and, of course, any sensible student with my aims would have chosen a college with a large engineering department, famous reputation and lots of good labs and research equipment. But that's not what I did.

I chose to study engineering at a small liberal-arts(文科) university that doesn't even offer a major in e lectrical engineering. Obviously, this was not a practical choice; I came here for more noble reasons. I wanted a broad education that would provide me with flexibility and a value system to guide me in my career. I wanted to open my eyes and expand my vision by interacting with people who weren't studying science or engineering. My parents, teachers and other adults praised me for such a sensible choice. They told me I was wise and mature beyond my 18 years, and I believed them.

I headed off to college sure I was going to have an advantage over those students who went to big engineering "factories" where they didn't care if you had values or were flexible. I was going to be a complete engineer: technical genius and sensitive humanist(人文学者)all in one.

Now I'm not so sure. Somewhere along the way my noble ideals crashed into reality, as all noble ideals eventually do. After three years of struggling to balance math, physics and engineering courses with liberal-arts courses, I have learned there are reasons why few engineering students try to reconcile (协调) engineering with liberal-arts courses in college.

The reality that has blocked my path to becoming the typical successful student is that engineering and the liberal arts simply don't mix as easily as I assumed in high school. Individually they shape a person in very different ways; together they threaten to confuse. The struggle to reconcile the two fields of study is difficult

The author chose to study engineering at a small liberal-arts university because he ______ .

A．wanted to be an example of practicality and rationality

B．intended to be a combination of engineer and humanist

C．wanted to coordinate engineering with liberal-arts courses in college

D．intended to be a sensible student with noble ideals

Directions: In this section you are supposed to analyze the following cases from the perspective of intercultural communication. Then write down the answers on the Answer Sheet. 　 Lin had traveled 20 hours from Beijing to New York. He needed a good meal. His American friend, mike, met him. But Mike only offered him a plate of roasted chicken and a glass of orange juice. Lin was used to having a main course, and asked Mike if he had any rice. Mike said he only had fried noodles, and Lin had to make do with it. Thought Lin knew American didn’t care very much about what food they ate, he still felt surprised because he had taken Mike to the most famous duck restaurant in Beijing-Quanjude-when he arrived in Beijing. Questions to think about when you write your analysis: 1. Why did Lin feel surprised? 2. Offer some advice to him about adjusting to his new environment in American.

根据短文，回答1~5题Revolutionary innovation is now occurring in all scientific and technological fields．This wave of unprecedented change is driven primarily by advances in information technology。but it is much larger in scope．We are not dealing simply with an Information Revolution but with a Technology Revolution． To anticipate developments in this field，the George Washington University Forecast of Emerging Technologies was launched at the start of the l990s．We have now completed four rounds of our Delphi survey—in l990，1992，1994，and l996一giving us a wealth of data and experience．We now can offer a reasonably clear picture of what can be expected to happen in technology over the next three decades． Time horizons play a crucial role in forecasting technology．Forecasts of the next five to ten years are often so predictable that they fall into the realm of market research。while those more than 30 0r 40 years away are mostly speculation．This leaves a l0一to 20一year window in which to make useful forecasts．It is this time frame that our Forecast addresses． The Forecast uses diverse methods，including environmental scanning，trend analysis，Delphi surveys， and model building．Environmental scanning is used to identify emerging technologies．Trend analysis guides the selection of the most important technologies for further study，and a modified Delphi survey is used to obtain forecasts．Instead of using the traditional Delphi method of providing respondents with immediate feed— back and requesting additional estimates in order to arrive at a consensus．we conduct another survey after an additional time period of about two years． Fimlly，the resuIts are portrayed in time periods to build models of unfolding technological change．By using multiple methods instead of relying on a single approach，the Forecast can produce more reliable，useful estimates． For our latest survey conducted in l996，we selected 85 emerging technologies representing the most crucial advances that can be foreseen We then submitted the list of technologies to our panel of futurists for their judgments as to when(or if) each technological development would enter the mainstream， the probability that it would happen，and the estimated size of the economic market for it．In short，we sought a forecast as to when each emerging technology will have actually“emerged”． What we are faced with at present can be best described as a revolution in__________． [A]information[B]advanced method[C]science[D]technology

The insufficiency of this kind of explanation becomes apparent, (16)_____, when the importance of novelty, surprise, complexity, incongruity, ambiguity, and (17)_____ is considered. Inconsistency between beliefs, between items of incoming sensory information, or between one's belief and an item of sensory information (18)_____ can be a source of discomfort impelling a (19)_____ for resolution through reorganization of belief (20)_____ or through selective acquisition of new information.
