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 workB. looks higher in position than a person in civilian clothesC. appears to be more practicalD. gives up his social identity57. The main function of a uniform is to _.A. provide practical benefits to the wearerB. provide the wearer with a professional identityC. increase the wearers confidence in himselfD. make the wearer catch the public eye58. According to the passage, people wearing uniforms _.A. are always helpful B. have little or no individual freedomC. tend to lose their individuality D. enjoy less great popularity59. The underlined word “they” (in the 4th paragraph) refers to _.A. lift operators B. TV repairmenC. people in uniforms D. persons without uniforms60. The best title for this passage would be _.A. Uniform and Society B. The Importance of Wearing a UniformC. Practical Benefits of Wearing a Uniform D. Strong and Weak Points of UniformsBHow could we possibly think that keeping animals in cages in unnatural environmentsmostly for entertainment purposesis 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 dont 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. Havent 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 strangelyC. attack other animals D. enjoy moving around63. What does the author try to argue in the passage?A. Zoos are not worth the public support.B. Zoos fail in their attempt to save animals.C. Zoos should treat animals as human beings.D. Zoos use animals as a means of entertainment.64. The author tries to persuade readers to accept his argument mainly by _.A. pointing out the faults in what zoos doB. using evidence he has collected at zoosC. questioning the way animals are protectedD. discussing the advantages of natural habitats65. Although he argues against zoos, the author would still agree that _.A. zoos have to keep animals in small cagesB. most animals in zoos are endangered speciesC. some endangered animals are reproduced in zoosD. its acceptable to keep animals away from their habitatsCIn cities with rent control, the city government sets the maximum rent that a landlord can charge for an apartment. Supporters of rent control argue that it protects people who are living in apartments. Their rent cannot increase; therefore, they are not in danger of losing their homes. However, the critics say that after a long time, rent control may have negative effects. Landlords know that they cannot increase their profits. Therefore, they invest in other businesses where they can increase their profits. They do not invest in new buildings which would also be rent controlled. As a result, new apartments are not built. Many people who need apartments cannot find any. According to the critics, the end result of rent control is a shortage of apartments in the city.Some theorists argue that the minimum wage law can cause problems in the same way. The federal government sets the minimum that an employer must pay workers. The minimum helps people who generally look for unskilled, low paying jobs. However, if the minimum is high, employers may hire fewer workers. They will replace workers with machinery. Therefore, other things being equal, the number of workers that employers want decreases. Thus, critics hold the opinion that an increase in the minimum wage may cause unemployment. Some poor people may find themselves without jobs instead of with jobs at the minimum wage.Supporters of the minimum wage say that it helps people keep their dignity. Because of the law, workers cannot sell their services for less than the minimum. Furthermore, employers cannot force workers to accept jobs at unfair wages.Economic theory predicts the results of economic decisions such as decisions about farm production, rent control, and the minimum wage. The predictions may be correct only if “other things are equal”. Economists do not agree on some of the predictions. They also do not agree on the value of different decisions. Some economists support a particular decision while others criticize it. Economists do agree, however, that there are no simple answers to economic questions.66There is the possibility that setting maximum rent may .Acause a shortage of apartmentsBworry those who rent apartments as homesCincrease the profits of landlordsDencourage landlords to invest in building apartment67We can safely say that rent control .Awill always benefit those who rent apartmentsBis unnecessaryCwill bring negative effects in the long runDis necessary under all circumstances68The problem of unemployment will arise if .Athe minimum wage is set too highBthe minimum wage is set too lowCthe workers are unskilledDthe maximum wage is set69The passage tells us about .Athe relationship between supply and demandBthe possible results of government controlsCthe necessity of government controlDthe urgency of getting rid of government controls70Which of the following statements is NOT true?AThe results of economic decisions can not always be predicted.BMinimum wage can not always protect employees.CEconomic theory can predict the results of economic decisions if other factors are notchanging.DEconomists usually have the same prediction about an economic decision.DIn ancient Greece athletic festivals were very important and had strong religious associations.The Olympian athletic festival, held every four years in honor of Zeus, eventually lost its local character, became first a national event, and then, after the rules against foreign competitors had been waived, international. No one knows
