Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center.（分数：10.00）_Americans are proud of their variety and individuality, yet they love and respect few things more than a
8、 uniform, whether it is the uniform of an elevator operator or the uniform of a five-star general. Why are uniforms so popular in the United States? Among the arguments for uniforms, one of the first is that in the eyes of most people they look more professional than civilian(百姓的) clothes. People ha
9、ve become conditioned to expect superior quality from a man who wears a uniform. The television repairman who wears a uniform tends to inspire more trust than one who appears in civilian clothes. Faith in the skill of a garage mechanic is increased by a uniform. What easier way is there for a nurse,
10、 a policeman, a barber, or a waiter to lose professional identity(身份) than to step out of uniform? Uniforms also have many practical benefits. They save on other clothes. They save on laundry bills. They are tax-deductible(可减税的). They are often more comfortable and more durable than civilian clothes
11、. Primary among the arguments against uniforms is their lack of variety and the consequent loss of individuality experienced by people who must wear them. Though there are many types of uniforms, the wearer of any particular type is generally stuck with it, without change, until retirement. When peo
12、ple look alike, they tend to think, speak, and act similarly, on the job at least. Uniforms also give rise to some practical problems. Though they are long-lasting, often their initial expense is greater than the cost of civilian clothes. Some uniforms are also expensive to maintain, requiring profe
13、ssional dry cleaning rather than the home laundering possible with many types of civilian clothes.（分数：10.00）(1).It is surprising that Americans who worship variety and individuality_.（分数：2.00）A.still judge a man by his clothesB.hold the uniform in such high regardC.enjoy having a professional identi
14、tyD.will respect an elevator operator as much as a general in uniform(2).People are accustomed to think that a man in uniform_.（分数：2.00）A.suggests quality workB.discards his social identityC.appears to be more practicalD.looks superior to a person in civilian clothes(3).The chief function of a unifo
15、rm is to_.（分数：2.00）A.provide practical benefits to the wearerB.make the wearer catch the public eyeC.inspire the wearer“s confidence in himselfD.provide the wearer with a professional identity(4).According to the passage, people wearing uniforms_.（分数：2.00）A.are usually helpfulB.have little or no ind
16、ividual freedomC.tend to lose their individualityD.enjoy greater popularity(5).The best title for this passage would be_.（分数：2.00）A.Uniforms and SocietyB.The Importance of Wearing a UniformC.Practical Benefits of Wearing a UniformD.Advantages and Disadvantages of UniformsFoxes and farmers have never
17、 got on well. These small dog-like animals have long been accused of killing farm animals. They are officially classified as harmful and farmers try to keep their numbers down by shooting or poisoning them. Farmers can also call on the services of their local hunt to control the fox population. Hunt
18、ing consists of pursuing a fox acmes the countryside, with a group of specially trained dogs, followed by men and women riding horses. When the dogs eventually catch the fox they kill it or a hunter shoots it. People who take part in hunting think of it as a sport; they wear a special uniform of red
19、 coats and white trousers, and follow strict codes of behavior. But owning a horse and hunting regularly is expensive, so most hunters are wealthy. It is estimated that up to 100,000 people watch or take part in fox hunting. But over the last couple of decades the number of people opposed to fox hun
20、ting, because they think it is brutal(残酷的),has risen sharply. Nowadays it is rare for a hunt to pass off without some kind of confrontation(冲突) between hunters and hunt saboteurs(阻拦者). Sometimes these incidents lead to violence, but mostly saboteurs interfere with the hunt by misleading riders and d
21、isturbing the trail of the fox“s smell, which the dogs follow. Noisy confrontations between hunters and saboteurs have become so common that they fire almost as mach a part of hunting as the pursuit of foxes itself. But this year supporters of fox hunting face a much bigger threat to their sport. A
22、Labour Party Member of the Parliament, Mike Foster, is trying to get Parliament to approve a new law which will make the hunting of wild animals with dogs illegal.

The games got their name from Olympia, the Greek city where they took place. Like the summer Olympics of today, the ancient Olympics wer
27、e held every four years. Thousands of people from all over the Greek world came to watch. The main stadium held about 45,000 people. “We have accounts of visitors and pilgrims setting up tents all around the site“, Lisa Cerrato of Tufts University said. During the first Olympics, there was only one
28、competitiona 200-meter race. But over time the games grew to include wrestling, chariot racing, boxing, and other sports.
