Passage 1
The motor vehicle has killed and disabled more people in its brief history than any bomb or weapon ever invented. Much of the blood on the street flows essentially from uncivil behavior of drivers who refuse to respect the legal and moral lights of others. So the massacre on the road may be regarded as a social problem.
Researchers have estimated that as many as 80 percent of automobile accidents can be attributed to the psychological condition of the driver. Emotional upsets can distort drivers’ reactions, slow their judgment, and blind them to dangers that might otherwise be evident. The expert warned that it is vital for every driver to keep on
e’s emotion under control.
Yet the irresponsibility that accounts for much of the problem is not confined to drivers. Street walkers regularly violate traffic regulations. They are at fault at most vehicle accidents; and many cyclists believe that they are not subject to the basic rules of the road.
Significant legal advances have been made towards safer driving in the past few years. Safety standards for vehicle have been raised both at the point of manufacture and through periodic road-worthiness inspections. In addition, speed limits have been lowered. Due to these measures, the accident rate has decreased. But the accident experts still worry because there has been little or no improvement in the way drivers behave. The only real and lasting solution, say the experts, is to convince people that driving is a skilled task requiring constant care and concentration. Those who fail to do all these things present a threat to those with whom they share the road.

Passage 2
Once upon a time, 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 because they are out of style. Think of the expensive packaging material that i
s 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?

A. for at least five years
B. for ten years
C. for as long as they were taken good care
D. for your whole life
7. To pervade people not to repair a used product, industry says that_______
A. they should change their taste

Ⅵ. Short answer questions (10 points)
Directions: in this part there is a short passage with five questions or incomplete statement. Read the passage carefully. Then answer the question or complete the statement in the fewest possible words (not exceeding 10 words)
If there is any single factor that makes for success in living, it is the ability to profit by defeat. Every success I know has been achieved because the person was able to analyze defeat and actually profit in his next work. Confuse defeat with failure, and you are doomed indeed to failure. For it isn’t defeat that makes you fail; it is your own refusal to see in defeat the guide and encouragement to success.
Defeats are nothing to be ashamed of. They are routine incidents in the life of every man who achieves success. But defeat is a dead loss unless you do face it without humiliation(屈辱), analyze it and learn why you failed. Defeat, in other words, can help to cure its own cause. Not only does defeat prepare us for success, but nothing can arouse within us such an urgent desire to succeed, if you let a baby grasp a rod and try to pull it away, he will hold more and more tightly until his whole weight is suspended. It is the same reaction which should give you new and greater strength every time you are defeated. If you exploit the power which defeat gives, you can accomplish with it far more you are capable of.

defeat likely to do?
