The upper classes __6__ to be less interested in fashion and wear good quality clothes in non-bright colours, made of natural material like wool, leather or cotton. Lower working class people often choose clothes in bright colours, made of man-made material.

　　A*** available

　　B*** background

　　C*** different

　　D*** tall

　　E*** totally

　　F*** taken

　　G*** descriptions

　　H*** degree

　　I*** clues

　　J*** alone

　　K*** appear

　　L*** consider

　　M*** full

　　N*** hobby

　　O*** fetched



 

　　【答案】

　　1.選J***。此處應填副詞。可選項有totally和alone，由前一句中just可推出，外表上的細節僅僅能告訴我們這個人的健康狀況，平時的營養狀況以及他所從事的工作而不能看出他所處的階級，故排除totally而選alone“惟一”。

　　2.選D***。此處應填形容詞。因此此句和前一句是在將以前的工人階級和上層階級的身體狀況進行對比，故此處應填與small“矮的”意思相反的詞，選項中只有tall符合題意。而full“豐滿的”不能用來修飾sporting types,故排除。

　　3.選G***。此處應填名詞。現在的生活和工作條件改善了，情況已經不同了。而such指代的是上文中對一百年以前工人階級和上層階級的身體狀況的身體狀況的描述，故descriptions“描述”符合題意。

　　4.選B***。此處應填名詞。根據句意“衣服可以提供...方面的資訊”，選項中有background和hobby，選background“人的背景，社會階層”，符合文章主題。

　　5.選I***。由as well可知，此處應填名詞且與本段首句中的informaiton的意思相近，選項中只有clues“線索”符合題意。

　　6.選K***。此處應填動詞的原形。選項中有appear和consider,appear可直接接不定式;而consider帶不定式的複合結構，用於主動語態時，consider後面得接賓語，故選appear。

　　7選F***。這句中this指代bright colour，句子主幹是any opportunity is...。可選項有taken和fetched,take“抓住”則可以與opportunity搭配，但fetch“拿來”不能與opportunity構成動賓搭配，故排除fetched而選taken。

　　8.選A***。此處應填形容詞。句子意思是“衣服的價錢......，大多數人都買得起。”選項中只有available“可以接受的”符合題意。

　　9.選H***。此處應填名詞。由a price within most people’s reach可推出，此處新衣服向外界顯示的是穿衣者的富裕程度，故選擇degree“程度”。

　　10.選C***。此處應填形容詞。由new fashions和feel important可推出工人階級想通過穿衣來改變他們，而選項中只有different“與眾不同的”符合此意，故選擇C***。



 

　　Americans are proud of their variety and individualty, yet they love and respect few things more than a uniform. Why are uniforms so __1__ in the United States?

　　Among the arguments for uniforms, one of the first is that in the eyes of most people they look more __2__ than civilian***百姓的*** clothes. People have become conditioned to __3__ superior quality from a man who wears a uniform. The television repairman who wears a uniform tends to __4__ more trust than one who appears in civilian clothes. Faith in the __5__ of a garage mechanic is increased by a uniform. What an easier way is there for a nurse, a policeman, a barber, or a waiter to __6__ professional identity***身份*** than to step out of uniform? Uniforms also have many __7__ benefits. They save on other clothes. They save on laundry bills. 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 __8__ 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 __9__, until retirement. When people look alike, they tend to think, speak, and act __10__, on the job at least.

　　ANSWERS:

　　1.選B***。從文章的第一句they love and respect few thins more than a uniform“他們又無比熱愛和崇尚制服”，說明了制服在美國很受歡迎。因此選項B***popular符合原文意思。選項中的professional“職業的”、practical“實用的”和ordinary“普通的，平常的”都不符合第一段的意思。

　　2.選F***。此處應填形容詞。從more...than civilian clothes可知，此處要填的形容詞意思與civilian相對，說明制服的特點。選項中的形容詞中只有professional“職業的”和civilian相對的，故F***正確。而pratical“實用的”和ordinary“平常的”意思都不能和civilian對應，故排除。

　　3.選K***。由be conditioned to do sth.“習慣於”可知，此處應填動詞原形。從前面的look more“看起來更...”和後面的tend to“傾向於”可知，這段要說明的是人們的主觀印象，應填入表示“期望***得到***”的單詞，只有K***expect符合原文語氣。選項中get“得到”與上下文的語氣不符合。

　　4.選I***。此處應填動詞原形。從原文中“人們習慣...從穿制服的人那兒得到優質服務。”可知，人們更信任穿制服的人，即制服能使人產生信任感。選項中的動詞原形中只有inspire“使產生”符合文章。

　　5.選A***。此處應填名詞。前面兩句表達了人們對穿制服的人更加信任的意思，那麼對於garage mechanic“汽車修理工”來說，人們信任的是它的技術，而不是人品，故選項中只有A***skill符合原文意思。

　　6.選N***。此處應填動詞。...step out of uniform“脫掉制服”是對護士、警察等來說是......職業身份的很簡單的方式。脫下制服就是失去了職業身份，由此可以推知此處應填N***lose。考試大-全國最大教育類網站***

　　7.選L***。此處應填形容詞，說明制服的其他有點。從下文“...節省購買其他衣服的開銷，節省洗衣費用，比便服更舒適也更耐穿”可知，制服除了增加信任感還有實際的優點。選項中的pratical“實用的”和ordinary“平常的”，很明顯L***pratical符合原文意思。

　　8.選H***。此處應填名詞。文章手段就說“美國人為自己的多元化和個性化感到高傲無比，然而他們又無比熱愛和崇尚制服”，其中包含制服使他們失去自己的個性的意思，那麼聯絡第一段，此處指出的制服的缺點即為失去個性，故選項H***individuality正確。individuality強調與他人特點的區別，而character指的是個人特定的內在本質。

　　9.選D***。此處應填名詞。前面說制服讓人失去了個性，雖然有很多種制服，但穿上制服的人直至退休都是那件制服，所有是沒有變化的，故此處應填change，故D***正確。

　　10.選E***。此處應填副詞，修飾動詞act。前面指出...look alike,they tend to...，說明此處填的詞和alike意思相近。選項種副詞有similarly和differently，很明顯，E***similarly與alike意思相近，故選E***。
