Ⅲ.任务型阅读
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.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 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 lose 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(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.(仪征中学10月月考)

Ⅰ.
1．解析：考查冠词。名词space表示 “太空”，前面不加冠词；earth表示 “地球” 时，前面需要加定冠词the。
答案：C
2．解析：考查动词辨析。inspect是 “视察，检阅” 之意，符合句意。examine “检查” ；observe “观察” ；check “核查”。
答案：D
3．解析：考查名词辨析。语意为：为了球队的团结，教练让队员们抛开彼此的分歧。 difference表示 “分歧，争执”。
答案：D
4．解析：考查非谓语动词。系动词feel和逻辑主语the little girl是主谓关系，而且feel没有被动形式，所以要用现在分词形式作状语。
答案：C
5．解析：考查状语从句。由两句之间的关系可知，此处应用so that引导状语从句，表示目的。
答案：D
6．解析：考查主语从句。本题用what引导主语从句并在从句中作want的宾语。
答案：B
7．解析：表示倍数可用 “倍数＋as...as”，意为 “……是……几倍”，故选A项。
答案：A
8．解析：hang on “紧紧抓住，坚持下去”。约翰险些从悬崖上掉下来，幸好他抓住岩石等到救援的到来。

答案：B
15．解析：考查what在宾语从句中的用法。what在宾语从句中作主语，意思是 “……的地方”。

误区警示：此处不是定语从句不能选which或where。
