1.Americans are pound of their variety and individuality, yet they love and respect few things more than a 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 have become conditioned to expect superior quality from a man who wears a uniform. The television repairman who wears 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, 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.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 people 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 professional dry cleaning rather than the home laundering possible with many types of civilian clothes.1).It is surprising that Americans who worship variety and individuality _______.A. still judge a man by his clothesB. hold the uniform. in such high regardC. enjoy having a professional identityD. will respect an elevator operator as much as a general in uniform2).People are accustomed to think that a man in uniform. _______.A. suggests quality workB. discards his social identityC. appears to be more practicalD. looks superior to a person in civilian clothes3).The chief function of a uniform. is to _______.A. provide practical benefits to the wearerB. make the wearer catch the pubic eyeC. inspire the wearer’s confidence in himselfD. provide the wearer with a professional identity4).According to the passage, people wearing uniforms _______.A. are usually helpfulB. have little or no individual freedomC. tend to lose their individualityD. enjoy greater popularity5).The best title for this passage would be _______.A.

    第一篇



    The Beginning of American Literature



    America has always been a land of beginnings.After Europeans"discovered"America in the fifteenth

    century,the mysterious New World became for many people a genuine hope of a new life,an escape from

    poverty and persecution,a chance to start again.We can say that,as a nation,America begins with that

    hope.When,however,does American literature begin?

    American literature begins with Amnerican experiences.Long before the first colonists arrived,before

    Christopher Columbus,before the Northmen who"found"America about the year 1000,Native Americans

    lived here. Each trilbe's literature was tightly woven into the fabric of daiiy life and reflected the unmistakably

    American experience of lining with the land。Anoiher kind of experience,one filled with fear and excite-

    ment,found its expression in the reports that Columbus and other explorers sent home in Spain,French and

    English.In addition,the journals of the people who lived and died in the New England wilderness tell

    unforgettable tales of hard and sometimes heartbreaking experiences of those early years.

    Experience,then,is the key to early American literature.The New World provided a great variety of

    experiences,and these experiences deniauded a wide variety of expressions by an even wider variety of early

    American writers.These wnters included John Smith,who spent only two-and-a-half year on the American

    continent.They included Jonathlan Edwards and William Byrd,who thought of themselves as British sub-

    jects,never suspecting a revolution that would create a United States of America with a literature of its own.

    American Indians,explorers,Puritan ministers,frontier wives,plantation owners一they are all the creators

    of the first American literature.

    What can we learn from the literature of the tribes of the native Americans?
    A:About the everyday life of the native Americans.
    B:About the arrival of Columbus.
    C:About the experience of the first European settlers.
    D:About the experience of those who died in the New England wilderness.

    答案:A
    解析:
    首先找到“that hope”在文章中的位置:就是指第一段第二句中“…a genuine hope of a new life,”意思是:开始新生活的真诚希望。故选B。

    从第二段第二句可知:很早以前,本上美国人就居住在这里。既然前一句说“美国文学 产生于美国人的生活经历”,由此可知美国文学产生于很早以前就居住这里的本土美国人的 生活经历。故选D。

    由文章第一二段第三句话“Each tribe' s literature was tightly woven into the fabric of daily life and reflected the unmistakably American experience of lining with the land.”可知,从美洲土著 部落的文学中,我们可以找到他们日常生活的写照。

    文章最后一段的第一句“Experience, then, is the key to early American literature.”是本 段的主题句,说的是:经历是早期美国文学的关键因素。

    文章最后一段中“These writers included Johon Smith , who spent only two-and-a-half year on the American continent.They included Jonathan Edwards and William Byrd,who thought of them- selves as British subjects,never suspecting a revolution that would create a United States of America with a literature of its own.”意思是:这些文学家包括仅在美洲居住两年半的约翰·史密斯,还 有约翰逊·爱德华和维廉姆·白伊德。这两位自认为是大英帝国臣民的英国作家对一场将会 创造出一个拥有自己文学的美利坚合众国的革命从来没有任何怀疑。可见,一些英国作家对 美国文学的将来充满信心。故选D。

    For decades, community health centers have done a very good job of providing low-cost primary health care to those with and without insurance. Since most of the nation’s uninsured actually are employed—but often in low-wage jobs—these centers provide an invaluable cost-effective service and, thanks to government subsidies, some care is free or on a sliding fee scale. This is one government program worthy of expansion. Yet, while touted by the Bush Administration, adequate funding has not been forthcoming.

    Practice 1  Americans are proud of their variety and individuality, yet they love and respect few things more than a uniform, whether it is the uniform of an elevator operator or the uniform of a five-star general. 1______  2______People have become conditioned to expect superior quality from a man who wears a uniform. The television repairman who wears 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, a policeman, a barber, or a waiter to lose professional identity(身份) than to step out of uniform?  3______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.  4______Though there are many types of uniforms, the wearer of any particular type is generally stuck with it, without change, until retirement. When people look alike, they tend to think, speak, and act similarly, on the job at least.  5______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 professional dry cleaning rather than the home laundering possible with many types of civilian clothes.[A] For this reason, more and more factories begin to give out uniforms to workers.[B] Why are uniforms so popular in the United States?[C] Uniform also have many practical benefits.[D] Uniform is also an indication of people’s position.[E] Among the arguments for uniforms, one of the first is that in the eyes of most people they look more professional than civilian clothes.[F] Primary among the arguments against uniforms are their lack of variety and the consequent loss of individuality experienced by people who must wear them.[G] Uniform also give rise to some practical problems.
