Questions 1-5 are bases on the following passageSearching for Guinevere： Stories of kings and queens have captivated readers for centuries, and arguably, the tales of King Arthur and Guinevere are among the most enchanting. Arthur ruled the kingdom of Camelot, and Guinevere was his queen. But were they real people or fictional characters? The debate has continued for centuries. Though many scholars have found evidence that the legendary Arthur was, at the very least, based on a real person who lived in Britain roughly between 450 and <1>500 CE. They continue to search for the historical identity of Guinevere. Guinevere first appeared as King Arthur’s queen in one of the most widelystudied works of Arthurian literature, <2> The History of the Kings of Britain. This book was written by Geoffrey of Monmouth around 1135 CE. Geoffrey’s historical treatment of the legend is often <3 >sited as evidence that the queen of Camelot existed, as the book chronicles the lives of a number of historical rulers. *God help those who help themselves. We help those who trust us. Contact Wechat:satxbs123, help is waiting.Guinevere is identified by Geoffrey as a noblewoman of Roman descent who met King Arthur in the court of Duke Cador of Cornwall, where she lived as a ward. <4 >In Malory’s portrayal, Guinevere had no real power as a monarch but served as a kind of .spiritual leader, providing guidance and moral support to the knights in their roles as defenders of the kingdom. Le Morte d’Arthur was also one of the first works to reference Guinevere’s romance with the knight, Sir Lancelot. As many Arthurian scholars know, the distinction between history and literature was blurred in the Middle Ages. Consequently, the true identity of Guinevere may never be known with certainty. Yet regardless of whether Guinevere was real or fictional, her story <5> had endured centuries—and through each retelling, she continues to live on in the imaginations of people around the world.

Good morning everyone and welcome to the 2nd. Annual Wullaballoo Conference on Mastering Computer Languages. I hope you all had a good trip. Before we get underway with today’s programme, let me fill you in as to what’s on tap for tomorrow, Sunday, February 19th. At 9:00 a.m. right here in the Main Hall we’ll be hearing a lecture from Dr. John Smith about “ Computer as Teacher.” Professor Smith, from the University of Melbourne, is a world-class expert in the field of computerassisted education, and his talk promises to be both stimulating and informative. Immediately afterwards, at 10:30, there will be a presentation of papers by various delegates. That, however, will take place in the Garden Room on the ground floor. If you don’t yet know, the Garden Room is also called the Ballroom, and we’ll be gathering at the west end, the slightly raised area called Level 2. Just look for the crowd. If you get lost, there are signs in the foyer. After all that thinking, talking, and listening, I expect everyone will be a bit weary. So at 11:15, there will be a break for coffee, cookies, and other light refreshments. These will be available at the aptly named Refreshment Stand, placed by the door back here in the Main Hall. Also, if you choose to skip the formal lunch, you can buy a packed lunch at the stand for a reasonable price. I strongly urge you, however, to join us at the formal lunch. That won’t be till one o’clock sharp, so you have time to stroll about town a bit. We’ll be eating at the Sea View Restaurant. The restaurant is located right here in the hotel, on the top floor. It’s a good dozen flights of stairs, so I suggest you ake the lift on the ground floor, eh? If you’re not fond of fish, there is an allyou-can-eat barbecue available as well. They even offer wallaby meat! After lunch, we’ll troop back downstairs to Level 2 in the Ballroom for the presentation of further papers, which will begin at 2:00 p.m.. Please try to be on time. I know you’ll be a bit tired after lunch, but the Ballroom echoes so with people coming in late. Thank you in advance. Once we’ve heard the papers, we’ll break for afternoon tea at 3:10 p.m.. No need to walk. The manager of the refreshment stand has graciously agreed to have tea served in the Ballroom. He’s even promised us some special scones, baked from a recipe of his dear old Scottish grandmother. Then, tea being drunk and scones munched, we’ll retire here to the Main Hall for some closing remarks and questions. So, by 5:00 we should have the conference wrapped up. But the fun isn’t over! This is Australia mates! We’ll be flocking to the hotel’s own Palm Lounge on the east side of the foyer for an informal reception. You can relax, mingle with the other delegates, and let your hair down a bit. This will run from 5:10 to 6:10, though you’re free to stay as long as you like. The lounge manager has informed me that, for the duration of the actual reception, you can have allyou-can-drink beer for $20.00 with purchase of an advance ticket. And, yes, tickets can be purchased from any conference organizer or at the front desk anytime between now and the start of the reception. I suggest you come by tomorrow evening to pick up the tickets since the conference hall only holds 800 people. That way you can also get your journey planned ahead of time and be sure not to miss this truly memorable conference. If you want cocktails, however, I’m sorry. You’ll have to pay for those at the regular price. Oh my goodness! Speaking of paying, I see I forgot to tell you a couple of things. The first is about lunch. The charge for the lunch will be $15.00 for all you delegates. If you have guests with you, the cost is $25 for the general public, and $6.50 for children under the age of 10. That’s fifteen dollars each, not total for everyone! Another item is about the lunch menu. I very much urge you to try the fish. I mean, look at the restaurant’s name: Sea View. As the name suggests, it is a famous seafood restaurant. The chef is a Basque from Spain and he really gets quite put out when people ignore his fish specialties for burgers or barbecue. If fish isn’t your thing though, try the steak – he makes an exquisite Filet mignon topped with bleu cheese and mushrooms. Finally, if you’d like to buy a ticket, you can have both lunch and the unlimited beer for $35.00. I should have mentioned that earlier, but I am a bit forgetful. Maybe I should avoid the beer after the conference, eh? Well, I’ve said my bit. Are there any questions?

SECTION 3 STUDENT: Hello…are you Professor Van Diezen? PROFESSOR: Yes, I am. And who might you be? STUDENT: Oh! Sorry, my name is Tina. I’m a freshman here. They told me I should ask you for advice in choosing courses. PROFESSOR: Well, that’s part of what I’m here for. Please come in and sit down. Now, what are your questions? STUDENT: I, I almost don’t know! Everything is so confusing! Like what is a ‘specialized course’? PROFESSOR: Oh, easy. A specialized course is one that is compulsory, meaning it’s a requirement for your major and regular so you can’t place out by taking a proficiency exam. STUDENT: That sounds pretty strict. Then what are all these general courses? I seem to have to take so many. PROFESSOR: Nothing to be alarmed over. These are courses open to all students and not directly related to your major. The university offers these general courses to choose so that you can become more well-rounded individuals. For example, I see you’re a Microbiology major. So it might be a good idea to take some literature or history courses so that you can know something besides all science. STUDENT: You mean these courses are, like, for fun? PROFESSOR: That might be one way to look at it, but don’t tell the literature professor such a thing. Think of a general course as the opposite of a specified course. A specified course is one that pertains directly to your major. STUDENT: So can I take any Microbiology course I want? PROFESSOR: Let’s see. Oh, those courses used to be open to Microbiology students only. The good thing is, now it’s open to students on a flexible schedule, so it’s not only for full-time students. So the answer is yes, if you have the instructor’s permission. May I ask you why you chose Microbiology? STUDENT: Well, I also like plain old Biology too. You know, full-sized animals. I might even become a veterinarian. Could I take some Biology classes? PROFESSOR: Well, they are open to full-time students only, which I believe is what you are. I don’t know how a freshman would get along with Microbiology, though. I mean, most of the students presently looking into it are from off-campus. STUDENT: Off campus? PROFESSOR: Yes, you know, people who use it in their work at hospitals, laboratories, even a police detective. Why did you choose Microbiology, if I may ask? I don’t think you quite answered that. STUDENT: Well eventually I want to be a doctor. At least my dad tells me so. PROFESSOR: If I may say so, young lady, you seem a little uncertain. Still, I think that might be a good idea for a career. Of course, if you’re thinking about being either a doctor or a vet, you should take some Medical Science classes before you even think of applying to med school. STUDENT: Great! What should I take? PROFESSOR: There is one small problem. The new Medical Sciences building is under construction, so there are no experimental facilities available until next year. I’m afraid you’ll have to wait. But don’t forget to take those courses at the first opportunity! STUDENT: Oh, bummer. Is there any other course you’d recommend for someone like me? PROFESSOR: Well, since you seem to like animals, have you ever thought about looking into Environmental Science? STUDENT: No, I never really thought about it before. Is it worthwhile? PROFESSOR: Quite! In fact it’s the fastest growing subject on this campus.
