23、ollowing passage.The topic Id like to deal with this morning is what makes a good language learner.This is an eternal（永恒的）problem,and one to which theres no real solution.I would however like you to think about the situation of learners outside the classroom.In many ways it would be true to say that
24、 there are more people in the world who speak a foreign language or a second language but didnt learn it in a classroom than there are who did.And I think this awareness of the success of out-of-classroom learning provides us with a key to know in-classroom learning can be successful.Let us look the
25、n at the characteristic of a good language learner.I think motivation is certainly 宁波大学宁波大学 2015 年攻读硕士学位研究生年攻读硕士学位研究生 入入 学学 考考 试试 试试 题题(B 卷卷)(答案必须写在答题纸上)考试科目考试科目:英语（二外）英语（二外）科目代码：科目代码：244 适用专业适用专业:日语语言文学日语语言文学 第 5 页 共 10 页 going to be very high on our list.Obviously there are different kinds of moti
26、vation.There is what we call instrumental motivation.This is the kind of motivation which in theory persuades a school pupil to learn a language in order to pass an examination-its external motivation,something which is imposed on the learner.The opposite of this is integrative（融为一体的）motivation,the
27、kind of motivation which gets an immigrant in a country or someone whos married to a speaker of another language to master the tongue much more rapidly than someone learning in a classroom.Arguably most people possess mixed motivation although it would appear from research that integrative motivatio
28、n does give much better results,certainly as far as speed of learning goes.Personality is obviously another major factor to be borne in mind.Im not necessarily saying that you need be extroverts（外向的人）to learn a foreign language,but someone who has the confidence to make mistakes is always going to l
29、earn much more quickly than someone who is afraid to experiment.Intelligence isnt a factor,I feel,in language learning.I would prefer to use the term skills.Learning skills are those abilities which make one person progress at a much faster speed than the others;they include having a good ear,effici
30、ent revision,being able to monitor your own speech,suitable organization of learning generally.However,if we go back to our starting points,which was the great,the much greater number of speakers of languages who have learnt outside classrooms I think it gives us the key to what I believe is the mos
31、t important factor,and thats independence.A learner who frees himself or herself from the control of the teacher and the classroom and who makes use of twenty-four hours a day for learning,who,in a word,accepts responsibility for learning,is always going to be not just a good language learner but th
32、e best.Conversely,someone who wont accept this responsibility is always going to remain at what we call plateau（高地）.Theyve failed to make progress and blame their teachers.In reality it is themselves that they should blame.36.What can be said of the first paragraph?A.Learning skills is a crucial fac

37、from the last paragraph?A.An independent person in language learning is the best learner.B.It is the teacher who should be blamed if learners fail to make progress.C.Independence and motivation are the important factors in in-classroom learning.D.Those who take the responsibility in language learnin

39、of applicants with almost identical qualifications and experience all apply for the same position.In their educational background,special skills and work experience,there is little,if anything,to choose between half a dozen candidates.How then does the employer make a choice?Usually on the basis of
40、an interview.There are many arguments for and against the interview as a selection procedure.The main argument against it is that it results in a wholly subjective decision.As often as not,employers do not choose the best candidate,they choose the candidate who makes a good first impression on them.
41、Some employers,of course,reply to this argument by saying that they have become so experienced in interviewing staff that they are able to make a sound assessment of each candidates likely performance.The main argument in favor of the interview-and it is,perhaps,a good argument-is that an employer i
42、s concerned not only with a candidates ability,but with the suitability of his or her personality for the particular work situation.Many employers,for example,will overlook occasional inefficiencies from their secretary provided she has a pleasant personality.It is perhaps true to say,therefore,that
43、 the real purpose of an interview is not to assess the 宁波大学宁波大学 2015 年攻读硕士学位研究生年攻读硕士学位研究生 入入 学学 考考 试试 试试 题题(B 卷卷)(答案必须写在答题纸上)考试科目考试科目:英语（二外）英语（二外）科目代码：科目代码：244 适用专业适用专业:日语语言文学日语语言文学 第 7 页 共 10 页 assessable aspects of each candidate but to make a guess at the more intangible things,such as personalit
44、y,character and social ability.Unfortunately,both for the employers and applicants for jobs,there are many people of great ability who simply do not interview well.There are also,of course,people who interview extremely well,but are later found to be very unsatisfactory employees.Candidates who inte
45、rview well tend to be quietly confident,but never boastful;direct and straightforward in their questions and answers;cheerful and friendly,but never over-familiar;and sincerely enthusiastic and optimistic.Candidates who interview badly tend to be at either end of the spectrum of human behavior.They
46、are either very shy or over-confident.They show either a lack of enthusiasm or an excess of it.They either talk too little or never stop talking.They are either over-polite or rudely abrupt.41.We can infer from the passage that an employer might tolerate his secretarys occasional mistakes,if the lat
