Most languages have several levels of vocabulary that may be used by the same speakers. In

English, at least three have been identified and described.

Standard usage includes those words and expressions understood, used, and accepted by a

majority of the speakers of a language in any situation regardless of the level of formality. As such,

these words and expressions are well defined and listed in standard dictionaries. Colloquialisms, on

the other hand, are familiar words and idioms that are understood by almost all speakers of a

language and used in informal speech or writing, but not considered acceptable for more formal

situations. Almost all idiomatic expressions are colloquial language. Slang, however, refers to

words and expressions understood by a large number of speakers but not accepted as appropriate

formal usage by the majority. Colloquial expressions and even slang may be found in standard

dictionaries but will be so identified. Both colloquial usage and slang are more common in speech

than in writing.

Colloquial speech often passes into standard speech. Some slang also passes into standard

speech, but other slang expressions enjoy momentary popularity followed by obscurity. In some

cases, the majority never accepts certain slang phrases but nevertheless retains them in their

collective memories. Every generation seems to require its own set of words to describe familiar

objects and events.

It has been pointed out by a number of linguists that three cultural conditions are necessary for

the creation of a large body of slang expressions. First, the introduction and acceptance of new

objects and situations in the society; second, a diverse population with a large number of subgroups;

third, association among the subgroups and the majority population.

Finally, it is worth noting that the terms ''standard", "colloquial”, and "slang” exist only as

abstract levels for scholars who study language. Only a tiny number of the speakers of any language



will be aware that they are using colloquial or slang expressions. Most speakers of English will,

during appropriate situations, select and use all three types of expressions.

Question 36. Which of the following is the main topic of the passage?

A. Standard speech. B. Idiomatic phrases.

C. Dictionary usage. D. Different types of vocabulary.


the correct answer to each of the questions from 43 to 50.

At 7 pm on a dark, cold November evening, thousands of people are making their way across a

vast car park. They're not here to see a film, or the ballet, or even the circus. They are all here for

what is, bizarrely, a global phenomenon: they are here to see Holiday on Ice. Given that most

people don't seem to be acquainted with anyone who's ever been, the show's statistics are

extraordinary: nearly 300 million people have seen Holiday on Ice since it began in 1943; it is the

most popular live entertainment in the world.

But what does the production involve? And why are so many people prepared to spend their

lives travelling round Europe in caravans in order to appear in it? It can’t be glamorous, and it's

undoubtedly hard work. The backstage atmosphere is an odd mix of gym class and workplace. A

curtained-off section at the back of the arena is laughably referred to as the girls' dressing room, but

is more accurately described as a corridor, with beige, cracked walls and cheap temporary tables set

up along the length of it. Each girl has a small area littered with pots of orange make-up, tubes of

mascara and long false eyelashes.

As a place to work, it must rank pretty low down the scale: the area round the ice-rink is grey

and mucky with rows of dirty blue and brown plastic seating and red carpet tiles. It's an

unimpressive picture, but the show itself is an unquestionably vast, polished global enterprise: the

lights come from a firm in Texas, the people who make the audio system are in California, but

Montreal supplies the smoke effects; former British Olympic skater Robin Cousins is now creative

director for the company and conducts a vast master class to make sure they’re ready for the show's

next performance.

The next day, as the music blares out from the sound system, the case start to go through their

routines under Cousins' direction. Cousins says, ‘The aim is to make sure they're all still getting to

exactly the right place on the ice at the right time - largely because the banks of lights in the ceiling

are set to those places, and if the skaters are all half a metre out they’ll be illuminating empty ice.

Our challenge,’ he continues, ‘is to produce something they can sell in a number of countries at the

same time. My theory is that you take those things that people want to see and you give it to them,

but not in the way they expect to see it. You try to twist it. And you have to find music that is

challenging to the skaters, because they have to do it every night.’



‘The only place you'll see certain skating moves is an ice show,’ he says, ‘because you’re not

allowed to do them in competition. It’s not in the rules. So the ice show world has things to offer

which the competitive world just doesn't. Cousins knows what he's talking about because he skated

for the show himself when he stopped competing - he was financially unable to retire. He learnt the

hard way that you can’t put on an Olympic performance every night. I'd be thinking, these people

have paid their money, now do your stuff, and I suddenly thought, "I really can't cope. I'm not

enjoying it”.' The solution, he realized, was to give 75 per cent every night, rather than striving for

the sort of twice-a-year excellence which won him medals.

To be honest, for those of us whose only experience of ice-skating is watching top-class

Olympic skaters, some of the movements can look a bit amateurish, but then, who are we to judge?

Equally, it’s impossible not to be swept up in the whole thing; well, you'd have to try pretty hard not

to enjoy it.
