1.选B)。从文章的第一句they love and respect few thins more than a uniform他们又无比热爱和崇尚制服,说明了制服在美国很受欢迎。因此选项B)popular符合原文意思。选项中的professional职业的、practical实用的和ordinary普通的,平常的都不符合第一段的意思。
2.选F)。此处应填形容词。从more...than civilian clothes可知,此处要填的形容词意思与civilian相对,说明制服的特点。选项中的形容词中只有professional职业的和civilian相对的,故F)正确。而pratical实用的和ordinary平常的意思都不能和civilian对应,故排除。
3.选K)。由be conditioned to do sth.习惯于可知,此处应填动词原形。从前面的look more看起来更...和后面的tend to倾向于可知,这段要说明的是人们的主观印象,应填入表示期望的单词,只有K)expect符合原文语气。选项中get得到与上下文的语气不符合。
4.选I)。此处应填动词原形。从原文中人们习惯...从穿制服的人那儿得到优质服务。可知,人们更信任穿制服的人,即制服能使人产生信任感。选项中的动词原形中只有inspire使产生符合文章。
5.选A)。此处应填名词。前面两句表达了人们对穿制服的人更加信任的意思,那么对于garage mechanic汽车修理工来说,人们信任的是它的技术,而不是人品,故选项中只有A)skill符合原文意思。
6.选N)。此处应填动词。...step out of uniform脱掉制服是对护士、警察等来说是......职业身份的很简单的方式。脱下制服就是失去了职业身份,由此可以推知此处应填N)lose。
7.选L)。此处应填形容词,说明制服的其他有点。从下文...节省购买其他衣服的开销,节省洗衣费用,比便服更舒适也更耐穿可知,制服除了增加信任感还有实际的优点。选项中的pratical实用的和ordinary平常的,很明显L)pratical符合原文意思。
8.选H)。此处应填名词。文章手段就说美国人为自己的多元化和个性化感到高傲无比,然而他们又无比热爱和崇尚制服,其中包含制服使他们失去自己的个性的意思,那么联系第一段,此处指出的制服的缺点即为失去个性,故选项H)individuality正确。individuality强调与他人特点的区别,而character指的是个人特定的内在本质。
9.选D)。此处应填名词。前面说制服让人失去了个性,虽然有很多种制服,但穿上制服的人直至退休都是那件制服,所有是没有变化的,故此处应填change,故D)正确。
10.选E)。此处应填副词,修饰动词act。前面指出...look alike,they tend to...,说明此处填的词和alike意思相近。选项种副词有similarly和differently,很明显,E)similarly与alike意思相近,故选E)。
