IV. 阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）

A

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 used to expecting excellent quality from a man who wears a uniform. The repairman who wears a uniform tends to increase more trust than one who appears in civilian clothes. Trust in the skill of a garage repairman is increased by a uniform. What easier way is there for a nurse, a policeman, or a waiter to lose professional identity than to step out of uniform?

Uniforms also have many practical benefits. They save on other clothes. They save on washing 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 continuous 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 cost is greater than that of civilian clothes. Some uniforms are also expensive to keep, requiring professional dry cleaning rather than the home washing possible with many types of civilian clothes.

56. People are used to thinking that a man in a uniform  ________.

A. suggests quality work

B. looks higher in position than a person in civilian clothes

C. appears to be more practical

D. gives up his social identity

57. The main function of a uniform is to ________.

A. provide practical benefits to the wearer

B. provide the wearer with a professional identity

C. increase the wearer’s confidence in himself

D. make the wearer catch the public eye

 

58. According to the passage, people wearing uniforms ________.

A. are always helpful                         B. have little or no individual freedom

C. tend to lose their individuality              D. enjoy less great popularity

59. The underlined word “they” (in the 4^th paragraph) refers to ________.

A. lift operators                            B. TV repairmen     

C. people in uniforms                       D. persons without uniforms

60. The best title for this passage would be ________.

A. Uniform and Society                     B. The Importance of Wearing a Uniform

C. Practical Benefits of Wearing a Uniform      D. Strong and Weak Points of Uniforms

 

                                  B 

How could we possibly think that keeping animals in cages in unnatural environments－mostly for entertainment purposes－is fair and respectful?

Zoo officials say they are concerned about animals. However, most zoos remain “collections” of interesting “things” rather than protective habitats. Zoos teach people that it is acceptable to keep animals bored, lonely, and far from their natural zones. Zoos claim to educate people and save endangered species, but visitors leave zoos without having learned anything meaningful about the animals’ natural behavior, intelligence, or beauty. Zoos keep animals in small spaces or cages, and most signs only mention the species’ name, diet, and natural range. The animals’ normal behavior is seldom noticed because zoos don’t usually take care of the animals’ natural needs.

The animals are kept together in small spaces, with no privacy and little opportunity for mental and physical exercise. This results in unusual and self-destructive behavior called zoochosis. A worldwide study of zoos found that zoochosis is common among animals kept in small spaces or cages. Another study showed that elephants spend 22 percent of their time making repeated head movements or biting cage bars, and bears spend 30 percent of their time walking back and forth, a sign of unhappiness and pain.

Furthermore, most animals in zoos are not endangered. Captive breeding(圈养繁殖)of endangered big cats, Asian elephants, and other species has not resulted in their being sent back to the wild. Zoos talk a lot about their captive breeding programs because they do not want people to worry about a species dying out. In fact, baby animals also attract a lot of paying customers. Haven’t we seen enough competitions to name baby animals? Actually, we will save endangered species only if we save their habitats and put an end to the reasons people kill them. Instead of supporting zoos, we should support groups that work to protect animals’ natural habitats.

61. How would the author describe the animals’ life in zoos?

A. Dangerous.         B. Unhappy.         C. Natural.      D. Easy.

62. In the state of zoochosis, animals _________.

A. remain in cages                       B. behave strangely  

C. attack other animals                   D. enjoy moving around
