the World Games are not part of the Olympics or ones were part of the Olympic Games.Many events at the World Games _55_ as Olympic events, like weightlifting and badminton.They got their start as events at the World Games _56_ being moved into the Olympics.Just like the Olympics, the World Games also have _57_ competitions.These competitions get the sport the chance to be seen and the chance to become medal events.The World Games are _58_ tied to the Olympic Games because the International Olympic Committee is the sponsor of the International World Games Association.The International OlympicCommittee has decided that the number of Olympic participants is _59_ 10,500.The new policy means that no World Games competitions will be _60_ the Olympics any time soon.This year, the World Games were held in Taiwan.Some events, like softball, _61_ be Olympic sports but were dropped and now are _62_ for the World Games.The World Games look like a perfect supplement and _63_ ground for

marked A, B, C and D.Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)The temperature of the sun is over 5000 degrees Fahrenheit at the surface, but it rises to perhaps more than 16 million degrees at the center.The sun is so much hotter than die earth that matter can exist only as a gas, except at the core.In the core of the sun, the pressures are so great against the gases that, despite the high temperature, there may be a small solid core.However, no one really knows, since the center of the sun can never be directly observed.Solar astronomers do know that the sun is divided into five layers or zones.Starting at the outside and going down into the sun, the zones are the corona, chromosphere, photosphere, convection zone and finally the core.The first three zones are regarded as the sun's atmosphere.But since the sun has no solid surface, it is hard to tell where the atmosphere ends and the main body of the sun begins.The sun's outermost layer begins about 10000 miles above the visible surface and goes outward for mllions of miles.This is the only part of the sun that can be seen during an eclipse(日食)such as the one in February 1979.At any other time, the corona can be seen only when special instruments are used on cameras and telescopes to shut out the glare of the sun's rays.The corona is a brilliant, pearly white, filmy light, about as bright as the full moon.Its beautiful rays are a sensational sight during an eclipse.The corona's rays flash out in a brilliant fan that has wispy spikelike(一束束穗状)rays near the sun's north and south poles.The corona is thickest atthe sun's equator.The corona rays are made up of gases streaming outward at tremendous speeds sad reaching a temperature of more than 2 million degrees Fahrenheit.The rays of gas thin out as they reach the space around the planets.By the time the sun's corona rays reach the Earth, they are weak and invisible.65.Matter on the aim can exist only in fee form of gas because of the sun's ___.A.size B..age C.location D.temperature66.All of the following are parts of the sun's atmosphere EXCEPT the ___.A.corona B.chromosphere C.photosphere D.core67.According to the passage, as the corona ra5,'s reach -die plaasts, they become ___.A.hotter B.clearer C.thinner D.stronger68.Which of 'die following do the paragraphs following the passage most likely discuss?A.The remaining layers of the sun.B.The evolution of the sun to its present form.C.The eclipse of February 1979.D.All the above.(B)The Best Rice Cookers☆☆☆☆Tefal Automatic 2W3 Classic Rice CookerOne of the largest rice cookers on the market, with a 2-litre capacity (容量)(up to 12 servings).It looks "rather utilitarian", but gives "the

A paper to be developed at the international congress of cognitive psychotherapy(认知心理疗法) in Gothenburg suggests a link between the attitudes of women abused by their parents and early exposure to the wrong sort of fairy tales. It says girls who identified with Cinderella, Rapunzel and Beauty in Beauty and the Beast were more likely to say in destructive relationships as adults.The theory was developed by Susan Darker Smith, a psychotherapist at the University of Derby. She interviewed 67 female abuse survivors and found that 61 put up with severe abuse because they believed they could change their partners with patience, composition and love. The same view was taken by male survivors who had been abused as children. Hardly any of the women in a control group, who had not experienced abuse, thought they could change their partners in this way.The same view was taken by male survivors who had been abused as children. These women and men said they would leave a relationship rather than put up with abuse from a partner. Ms Darker Smith found the abused women were much more likely to identify with Cinderella and other submissive female characters in fairytales, who were later rescued by a stranger prince or hero.Although most girls heard the stories, damage appeared to be done to those who adopted the characters as role models. “They believe if their love is strong enough they can change their parents’ behaviors,” she said.”Overexposure in children to stories that emphasize the transformational qualities of love may make women believe they can change their partners.” For example, they might never have understood the obvious flaw in the story of Rapunzel, who remained locked in a high tower until rescued by a knight on a white horse, who broke the door down. “The question,”said Ms Darker Smith, “is why she did not break the door down herself.”72.The passage is especially intended for _________.A.parents with young daughtersB.girls who like reading fairy storiesC.girls who think they can change their partnersD.parents with grown-up daughters73.Cinderella, Rapunzel and Beauty in Beauty and the Beast are similar in that _________.A.They all married some princesB.They all changed their partners with loveC.They were all abused by their partnersD.They all put up with abuse74.Which of the following statements is true of the women in a control group?A.They don’t believe in fairy tales.B.They don’t believe in the transformational qualities of love.C.They have also experienced abuse.D.They survived abuse.75.What does the underlined word “submissive”in the 3rd paragraph probably mean?A.kind-hearted B.passive C.gentle D.easy-goingSection C (5%)Directions: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from the list A-F foreach paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.A. Impoliteness in using electronic communication devicesB. The objection to the use of some devicesC. The annoying noise from the classroomD. A fact of modern lifeE. Disturbance by someone’s scream in public placesF. The website’s quotation76.It's something that most of us find annoying. We're on our way home after a hard day at school and trying to have a quiet chat with a classmate or get in a little reading, when our peace is disturbed by someone screaming into their cell phone: "I'M ON THE BUS !"77.A survey published last week suggests Americans do not like the impolite use of today's electronic communication gadgets. Besides noisy phone users, sending and receiving e-mails while in company are also as very poor manners, reports .78.One of the practices that participants in the survey most objected to was the use of phones, iPods and other devices during religious festivals. Some 90 per cent of those surveyed thought this was insensitive and disrespectful.79.The website quotes Dr Genevieve Bell, conductor of the survey and director of Intel's User Experience Group as saying: "Theses are issues about common sense." But she believes that the rights and wrongs of the public use of technology are still in the process of formation.80.The survey does suggest, according to MSNBC, that most Amencans accepted that the technologies are a fact of modern life. They had nothing against the use of laptops and cell phones in bathrooms. And an electronic thank-you note was just as acceptable as a handwritten one. Section D (8%)Directions: Read the passage carefully and answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.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 a lift 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 clothes. People have 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, a policeman, a barber, or a waiter to lost professional identity 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. 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.81.What surprises us is that .82.What are people likely to think of a man in uniform?83.Why are some people against uniforms?84.The underlined sentence tells us that .第Ⅱ卷(共45分)I.

Hundreds of people came to watch the end of his starvation experiment, which has become one of London‘s main t ourist attractions.Looking thinner and darker, 30 year-old Blaine was taken out of his box over the River Thames and immediately went to hospital. He was then slowly reintroduced to food, a process (过程)doctors say could be life threatening. He had been drinking only water since Sept.the 5th.A native of Brooklyn, New York, Blaine first became known as a street magician in the early 1990s. He soon found himself doing magic tricks in bars for the likes of American actor Leonardo DiCaprio and his super model friends.Over the last decade Blaine has become famous with a combination of breathtaking magic and clever tricks aimed at getting a lot of attention.In 1999, he was buried in a coffin (棺材) for one week and, in 2000, he spent 62 hours in a giant block of ice. Last year he stood on top of a 25-meter pillar(柱子) in the center of New York for 35 hours before jumping into a pile of boxes.―I think a lot of people are unable to accept that they‘re able to do what they can do,‖ he said. ―They don‘t realize we can survive. The human being is an amazing creation.‖But he seems to have suffered from spending so long in the glass box. He said that at times he was unable to see, had serious back pains and lost his sense of taste.1. It is ________ for David Blaine to eat food after such a long starvation.A. pleasantB. deliciousC. dangerousD. important2. Having spent such a long time in the glass box, he suffered the following EXCEPT that________.A. he had become blindB. he had serious back painsC. he lost his sense of tasteD. he was in weak health3.

Blaine immediately went to hospital after he was taken out of his box.B. Blaine was born and brought up in England.C. In Blaine‘s opinion, people can create a wonder.D. Blaine didn‘t have any food for 44 days.BThe name ―cowboy‖ conjures up many different images from movies, songs and TV. These imagined cowboys range from white-hat-wearing heroes to gun-shooting hooligans(流氓).But, cowboys are actually real people from US history.When the US Civil War ended, many soldiers had no place to call home. So, they began to drift to the country‘s rural West. Ranchers(农场主) hired these men to take care of the cattle and work around the ranch. When the ranch owner wanted to sell the cattle, the cowboys would round up the herd from the open prairie(牧场) and drive the cattle miles to the market.With the invention of barbed wire(铁丝网),the cowboy era(1865-1890) began to come to an end. But people in the East had always been curious about their lifestyle. Many western songs during this time tried to capture the true cowboy spirit. Newspapers published cowboy tales in serial form and adventure novels followed. The bigger the fiction was, the better the sales would be. These novels often portrayed cowboys as cruel and violent men. Cowboys carried the bad reputation for many years afterwards.When movies began to be popular in the 1920s, the cowboy image changed again. Now, a cowboy became the great white knight(骑士) that loved his horse more than the beautiful ladies he rescued. As the cowboy of the ―Old West‖ spent more time with his horse than the ladies, this era‘s image was not entirely false.Then, in the 1950s, Hollywood began producing so-called ―spaghetti westerns(意大利西部片)‖.They earned the nickname because Italian companies financed the films and TV shows. This started the decade‘s ―Cowboy Craze‖. While this didn‘t last long, it made modern country / western music, fashion and dance extremely popular.In recent years, with the help of musicians, radio stations and bars, cowboy nostalgia(怀旧情绪) has returned. Even though his image is still changing —somewhere between ballad singing country boy and bar room fighter —there‘s one thing for sure: you can‘t keep th e cowboy down.5. The purpose of this story is to _____________.A. introduce cowboy movies and novelsB. introduce various productions associated with cowboysC. show the cowboy‘s everlasting charmD. inform us about the cowboy‘s spirit6. Before they became cowboys, they ______________.A. served in the armyB. worked as bar-room fightersC. owned ranchesD. were adventurous explorers7. During ―the cowboy era‖ mentioned in the story, ______________.A. the cowboy often came to the rescue of ladies in newspaper talesB. the distant Wild West appealed to people in the EastC. cowboys were shown as cruel and violent men on the silver screenD. country music started the cowboy craze which swept the whole country8. By saying ―you can‘t keep the cowboy down‖, the writer means that ______________.A. cowboys are real people in historyB. cowboys are still fascinate peopleC. you can‘t make cowboys unhappyD. you can‘t grasp the cowboy spiritCPrinceton UniversityLocationThe University is in Princeton, New Jersey.

This means that adults might want to think twice before they speak in a loud and harsh voice or let a baby see television programs meant for information about the world. A mother urging her baby to eat some ―yummy‖ soup on a brother crying in fear when a dog approaches can influence a baby‘s reaction. Mumme‘s team tested babies to determine. If television has the same influence, showing actors reacting on a videotape to objects such as red spiral letter holder, a blue humpy ball, and a yellow garden hose attachment. Babies aged 10 months or 12 months were later given the same objects to play with. Ten-month-olds did not seem to be influenced but the video buy the 1-year-olds were. When the actors acted neutrally or positively to an object, the babies happily played with them. But if the actor had seemed afraid or disgusted, the babies would avoid the object.13. Psychology is the study of ________. .A.human‘s society and its growthB.human‘s hopes had dreamsC.human‘s mind and behaviorsD.human‘s languages and cultures14. Which of the following is Mumme‘s conclusion?A.Small babies should not be allowed to watch television programs.B.Adults need to think twice before they act in front of small babies. programs provide small babies with all the information they need.D.One-year-olds can be emotionally influenced by TV programs.15. Mumme reached his conclusion by __________. .A.measuring the time babies spent in front of TV.B.making TV programs and advertisements for kids.C.showing actors how to react to blue bumpy ballsD.observing small babies‘ reactions to TV programs16. Which of the following may the study lead to according to the researchers?A.Parents may want to limit what their babies see on television.B.Actors may try to behave themselves well in front of babies.C.Babies may be allowed to choose what they see on TV.D.Scientists may stop ignoring babies‘ emotional world.EIn Europe, people hold the fork in the left hand and the knife in the right throughout the meal, a system that is generally agreed to be more efficient than the American zigzag(曲折的)method. Americans hold both the fork and the knife in their right hands throughout the meal, so they continually change their forks to the left hand when they have to cut their meat. It seems to be funny for the Europeans to see Americans busy changing their dinner sets, making a lot of noises.A few explanations for this American style are as follows:(1) Americans are practical and efficient. Since most of us are right-handed, it is reasonable to keep our working tools at all times in the right hand that can use them most efficiently.(2) Americans, the master of the New World are rebels(叛逆者).They use the zigzag method to break the rules in the Old World and in this way they are thumbing their nose at Mother England. Americans are a restless kind. They do not like to sit in one spot for very long when dining. (3) Forced to do so, they respond by ―playing‖ with the silver.Whatever the reason for the practice, it is now certainly as American as apple pie. Europeansrecognize this and are quick to attack it as evidence of American innocence(无知)of form. Arguments against the zigzag method rest not only on grounds of efficiency but also on those of tradition. In Old World dining, the knife is held in the right hand continually because it can serve as an instant defense against the uninvited intruders(入侵者).However, such alertness(警觉)is out of place in the New World, as every American believes that this is the home of the brave. Americans juggle their silverware, perhaps, to show that they are not afraid and that one of them holding a fork is worth any number of them holding blades(刀).17. Americans use _______ to hold their fork to pick up the salad.A. the right handB. the left handC. both handsD. either of the two hands18. As the masters of the New World, Americans use a different cutting method from that in the Old World to _________________.A. show their independence of Mother EnglandB. show their disrespect to Mother EnglandC. add a new tradition to those in Mother EnglandD. show off their creativeness to Mother England19.The underlined word ―juggle‖in last paragraph probably means ____________.A. holdB. play withC. pick upD. lay down20. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. European people hold the fork in the left hand and the knife in the right hand.B. The zigzag eating method is related to American characteristics.C. The zigzag eating method has become an American feature.D. European people will use the American method because of its efficiency.四、任务型阅读(共10小题,每小题1分;共计10分)What is a lifestyle and how is that different from a life? A lifestyle is about pursuing brand names and buying identity and social influence. A lifestyle gives a false sense of acceptability that comes form others‘ recognizing what you‘ve bought. If your car, clothes, and house are expensive, you‘re considered stylish. If you have the right kind of job or go to the right social gatherings, you receive the approval of others. In the end, your self-respect is always ruled by others with no appreciation of you as an individual.A life, on the other hand, is very different. First, a life is what you lead when you know what matters most to you. It‘s very simple and is connected to what you know is important and being willing to put that first. Second, when you choose a life, your self-respect comes from what‘s inside you, not what others think about you.A lifestyle is expensive monetarily (从金钱角度) and personally, because it costs a great deal to keep up appearances and do what you think is socially acceptable. A life is not expensive. Rather than using up personal or financial resources, a life produces energy. If you find out what your true beliefs and values are and choose to live by these, the opinions of others don‘t drive your li fe. This is not an issue of avoiding luxury(奢侈); it‘s about freeing yourself from the mindless consumption. It‘s about making the choices that are in agreement with your values, instead of consuming your bank account or energy for no heart-driven reason.How can you make the change? Understand the difference between a life and a lifestyle. Analyze your current lifesyle to see what costs you money, time, and energy to maintain it. Let go and give space to what is really important to you, what supports you and brings you joy. Remember that who you are comes from within, not what you own!A lifestyle vs a lifeWith a lifestyle You would feel accepted by those (1)________ what you‘ve bought.Your self-respect would be controlled and you would not be (2)________ as an individul.With a life You would lead a life where you are (3)________ to put in the first place what‘s important to you.Your self-respect comes form not others‘ (4)________ but your heart.The difference between a lifestyle and a life A lifestyle is (5)________ because it costs much to pretend your life and do things socially acceptable.(6)________ to a lifestyle, a life produces energy.Our life would not be driven by others if we live by our true beliefs and values.A life would (7)________ you from the mindless consumption.When you choose a life, you are making the choices that (8)________ with your values.What you can do Understand the difference between a life and a lifestyle.Analyze your current lifestyle to see what drives you to maintain it.Give space to things of real (9)________ and what supports you and brings you joy.(10)________ in mind that who you are comes form within, not what you possess.书面表达:25分作为一名中学生,请你以―双休日(The two-day weekend)‖为话题,按下列表格内的要求写一篇文章。

(B)Section BFor the first time in our marriage, I had decided to spend my holiday alone, without my wife. We had not quarrelled. My common sense told me that all habits – even good ones – should be broken from time to time. Doing everything together with my wife had become very much like a habit with me. So I had gone off to Italy on my own to spend three weeks at a hotel at the seaside.I had hoped it would be nice and warm. But actually it was 35 degrees centigrade in the shade, hot enough to roast an ox. Why had I, with my sensitive English skin, gone to Italy of all places? At night, I was kept awake by two bands playing like mad in th bar downstairs. Later on, I missed my chances of getting some sleep when there were some drunks singing cheerfully outside the hotel. After a week of this, I gave it up ad returned home. It was the first holiday that I had ever planned alone, and that was also the last.Questions:11.

His family described things to him. Although he couldn’t see people’s faces, he learned to recognize their voices. After his seventh birthday, Louis went to the little school in the village. But there weren’t any books for him.In 1819, the village priest told Louis Braille’s story to th e director of a famous school for blind boys. At this school, boys learned math, grammar, geography, history, and music. Also they learned to read.Louis went to the school in Pairs in February 1819. He loved his classes and received high grade.

but it rises to perhaps more than 16 million degrees at the center.The sun is so much hotter than die earth that matter can exist only as a gas, except at the core.In the core of the sun, the pressures are so great against the gases that, despite the high temperature, there may be a small solid core.However, no one really knows, since the center of the sun can never be directly observed.Solar astronomers do know that the sun is divided into five layers or zones.Starting at the outside and going down into the sun, the zones are the corona, chromosphere, photosphere, convection zone and finally the core.The first three zones are regarded as the sun's atmosphere.But since the sun has no solid surface, it is hard to tell where the atmosphere ends and the main body of the sun begins.The sun's outermost layer begins about 10000 miles above the visible surface and goes outward for mllions of miles.This is the only part of the sun that can be seen during an eclipse(日食)such as the one in February 1979.At any other time, the corona can be seen only when special instruments are used on cameras and telescopes to shut out the glare of the sun's rays.The corona is a brilliant, pearly white, filmy light, about as bright as the full moon.Its beautiful rays are a sensational sight during an eclipse.The corona's rays flash out in a brilliant fan that has wispy spikelike(一束束穗状)rays near the sun's north and south poles.The corona is thickest atthe sun's equator.The corona rays are made up of gases streaming outward at tremendous speeds sad reaching a temperature of more than 2 million degrees Fahrenheit.The rays of gas thin out as they reach the space around the planets.By the time the sun's corona rays reach the Earth, they are weak and invisible.65.Matter on the aim can exist only in fee form of gas because of the sun's ___.A.size B..age C.location D.temperature66.All of the following are parts of the sun's atmosphere EXCEPT the ___.A.corona B.chromosphere C.photosphere D.core67.According to the passage, as the corona ra5,'s reach -die plaasts, they become ___.A.hotter B.clearer C.thinner D.stronger68.Which of 'die following do the paragraphs following the passage most likely discuss?A.The remaining layers of the sun.B.The evolution of the sun to its present form.C.The eclipse of February 1979.D.All the above.(B)The Best

A paper to be developed at the international congress of cognitive psychotherapy(认知心理疗法) in Gothenburg suggests a link between the attitudes of women abused by their parents and early exposure to the wrong sort of fairy tales. It says girls who identified with Cinderella, Rapunzel and Beauty in Beauty and the Beast were more likely to say in destructive relationships as adults.The theory was developed by Susan Darker Smith, a psychotherapist at the University of Derby. She interviewed 67 female abuse survivors and found that 61 put up with severe abuse because they believed they could change their partners with patience, composition and love. The same view was taken by male survivors who had been abused as children. Hardly any of the women in a control group, who had not experienced abuse, thought they could change their partners in this way.The same view was taken by male survivors who had been abused as children. These women and men said they would leave a relationship rather than put up with abuse from a partner. Ms Darker Smith found the abused women were much more likely to identify with Cinderella and other submissive female characters in fairytales, who were later rescued by a stranger prince or hero.Although most girls heard the stories, damage appeared to be done to those who adopted the characters as role models. “They believe if their love is strong enough they can change their parents’ behaviors,” she said.”Overexposure in children to stories that emphasize the transformational qualities of love may make women believe they can change their partners.” For example, they might never have understood the obvious flaw in the story of Rapunzel, who remained locked in a high tower until rescued by a knight on a white horse, who broke the door down. “The question,”said Ms Darker Smith, “is why she did not break the door down herself.”72.The passage is especially intended for _________.A.parents with young daughtersB.girls who like reading fairy storiesC.girls who think they can change their partnersD.parents with grown-up daughters73.Cinderella, Rapunzel and Beauty in Beauty and the Beast are similar in that _________.A.They all married some princesB.They all changed their partners with loveC.They were all abused by their partnersD.They all put up with abuse74.Which of the following statements is true of the women in a control group?A.They don’t believe in fairy tales.B.They don’t believe in the transformational qualities of love.C.They have also experienced abuse.D.They survived abuse.75.What does the underlined word “submissive”in the 3rd paragraph probably mean?A.kind-hearted B.passive C.gentle D.easy-goingSection C (5%)Directions: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from the list A-F foreach paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.76.It's something that most of us find annoying. We're on our way home after a hard day at school and trying to have a quiet chat with a classmate or get in a little reading, when our peace is disturbed by someone screaming into their cell phone: "I'M ON THE BUS !"77.A survey published last week suggests Americans do not like the impolite use of today's electronic communication gadgets. Besides noisy phone users, sending and receiving e-mails while in company are also as very poor manners, reports .78.One of the practices that participants in the survey most objected to was the use of phones, iPods and other devices during religious festivals. Some 90 per cent of those surveyed thought this was insensitive and disrespectful.79.The website quotes Dr Genevieve Bell, conductor of the survey and director of Intel's User Experience Group as saying: "Theses are issues about common sense." But she believes that the rights and wrongs of the public use of technology are still in the process of formation.80.The survey does suggest, according to MSNBC, that most Amencans accepted that the technologies are a fact of modern life. They had nothing against the use of laptops and cell phones in bathrooms. And an electronic thank-you note was just as acceptable as a handwritten one. Section D (8%)Directions: Read the passage carefully and answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.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 a lift 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 clothes. People have 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, a policeman, a barber, or a waiter to lost professional identity 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. 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.81.What surprises us is that .82.What are people likely to think of a man in uniform?83.Why are some people against uniforms?84.The underlined sentence tells us that .第Ⅱ卷(共45分)I.
