Passage 1
Once upon a time (not very long ago, either!) industrial goods were made to last forever. If you bought a car or stove, it was an once-in-a-lifetime investment. You paid good money for it, and you took good care of it. Nowadays industry has persuaded us that products shouldn’t last a long time. It is cheaper to throw them than to repair them. This has led directly to the‘throw away society’which is a tremendous waste of the earth’s resources.
Just think of the cars that are traded in daily, just becau they are out of style. Think of the expensive packaging material that is thrown away every time a new object is bought. And we consumers have to pay for that material! Our industrial society has turned us into spoiled children. This wastefulness has got us into the mess(困境)we are in now. When we have no resources left, then we will start to take care of what we have. But why can’t we act before this happens? Why can’t we go back to being a society in which the previous waste is a virtue?

When they guess wrong, they start all over. They try to learn from their mistakes.
Successful language learning is active learning. Therefore, successful learners do no
t wait for the chance to u the language; they look for such a chance. They find people who speak the language and they ask them to correct them when they make a mistake. They will try anything to communicate. They are not afraid to repeat what they hear or to say strange things. They are willing to make mistakes and try again. When communication is different, they can accept information that is inexact or in complete. It is more important for them to learn to think in the language than to know the meaning of every word.
Finally, successful language learners are learners with a purpo. They want to learn the language becau they are interested in the language the people who speak it.

VI. Short answer questions. (10 points)
Directions: In this there is a short passage with five questions or incomplete statements. Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statement in the fewest possible words. ( not exceeding 10 words)
According to some scientists, migratory（移栖）birds should be able to withstand the winter. A bird’s feathery coat is good insulation against the cold. Becau a bird is warm-blood, its body temperature always remains constant, even if the temperature of its surrounding changes.
The factors that t off migratory behavior in birds are difficult to explain. This behavior ems to be instinctive, not learned. For example, many northern species leave their summer homes while the weather is still warm and the food plentiful. Young arctic（北极的）birds born at the arctic breeding ground will take off with the flock for distant lands they have never been.
悉尼人口 Bird migrations are probably regulated by the glandular system. Scientists suspect the changing length of the day is the factor that ts off migratory behavior. In an experiment, migratory birds are kept in artificially lighted rooms. It was founded that if peri
ods of darkness were lengthened proportionately, the glands of the birds became active. The glands crete hormones, which are chemicals that control numerous body functions. Shorter periods of daylight em to change the hormone balance of birds, so that they remain more fat. This restored fat id the fuel that provides energy for a long flight. The same experiment revealed that the birds became more excited as the artificial night was lengthened. It is probably no coincidence that most flocks begin their migratory flights during the night.
