　　【山东省实验中学2016届高三上学期第三次诊断】Five years ago, David Smith wore an expensive suit to work every day. "I was a clothes addict," he jokes. "I used to carry a fresh suit to work with me so I could change if my clothes got wrinkled." Today David wears casual clothes-khaki pants and sports shirt-to the office. He hardly ever wears necktie. "I'm working harder than ever," David says, "and I need to feel comfortable."

　　More and more companies are allowing their office workers to wear casual clothes to work in the United States. The change from formal to casual office wear has been gradual. In the early 1990s, many companies allowed their employees to wear casual clothes on Friday (but only on Friday). This became known as "dress-down Friday" or "casual Friday." "What started out as an extra one-day-a-week benefit for employees has really become an everyday thing," said business consultant Maisly Jones.

　　Why have so many companies started allowing their employees to wear casual clothes? One reason is that it's easier for a company to attract new employees if it has a casual dress code. "A lot of young people don't want to dress up for work," says the owner of a software company, "so it's hard to hire people if you have a conservative dress code." Another reason is that people seem happier and more productive when they are wearing comfortable clothes. In a study conducted by Levi Strauss and Company, 85 percent of employers said that they believe that casual dress improves employee morale. Only 4 percent of employers said that casual dress has a negative impact on productive. Supporters of casual office wear also argue that a casual dress code helps them save money. "Suits are expensive, if you have to wear one every day," one person said.

　　"For the same amount of money, you can buy a lot more casual clothes."

　　1. David Smith refers to himself as having been "a clothes addict" because _____.

　　A. he often wore khaki pants and a sports shirt

　　B. he couldn't stand a clean appearance

　　C. he wanted his clothes to look neat all the time

　　D. he didn't want to spend much money on clothes

　　2. David Smith wears casual clothes now, because _____.

　　A. they make him feel at ease when working

　　B. he cannot afford to buy expensive clothes

　　C. he looks handsome in casual clothes

　　D. he no longer works for any company

　　3. In this passage, the following advantages of casual office wear are mentioned EXCEPT _____.

　　A. saving employees' money

　　B. making employees more attractive

　　C. improving employees' motivation

　　D. making employees happier

　　B

　　【广东省惠州市2016届高三上学期第三次调研】 In 1959, when Jean Harper was in the third grade, her teacher gave the class an assignment to write a report on what they wanted to be when they grew up. She poured her heart into her report and expressed her dream of becoming an airline pilot. Her paper came back with an "F" on it. The teacher told her it was a "fairy tale". Jean was heartbroken and ashamed. As the years went by, Jean was beaten down by the discouragement and negativity she encountered whenever she talked about her dream. "Girls can't become airline pilots; never have, never will. You're crazy. That's impossible. "Finally Jean gave up.

　　In her senior year of high school, her English teacher was a Mrs. Dorothy Slaton, a demanding teacher with high standards. One day Mrs. Slaton asked this question: "If you had unlimited finances, unlimited access to the finest schools, unlimited talents and abilities, what would you do?" Jean felt a rush of the old enthusiasm, and with excitement she wrote down the very old dream.

　　The next thing that Mrs. Slaton said changed the course of Jean's life. The teacher leaned forward over her desk and said, "I have a little secret for you. You do have unlimited abilities and talents. When you leave school, if you don't go for your dreams, no one will do it for you. You can have what you want if you want it enough."

　　The hurt and fear of years of discouragement disappeared all of a sudden. Jean felt thrilled and told her about her dream of becoming a pilot. Mrs. Slaton slapped the desk top. "Then do it!" she said.

　　So Jean did. It didn't happen overnight. In her l0 years of hard work, even facing varieties of laugh, frustration and opposition, she never gave up her dream. Instead, she went on doing everything her third-grade teacher said was fairy-tale.

　　Eventually, Jean Harper became a Boeing 737 captain for the United Airline Company.

　　【黑龙江省哈尔滨市第六中学2016届高三上学期期末】根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，有两项为多余选项。

　　●Does failure really exist?

　　If you believe you have failed, then you have.

　　If you believe you don’t have the ability to succeed, then you don’t.

　　The moment you decide to give up or stop working toward your goals, failure is born.

　　●

　　2

　　Most people give themselves an out without even realizing it. They are willing to work hard on reaching their goals, but only until the going gets too rough or their energy dies down.

　　Don’t do that!

　　3

　　Never quit, never admit failure, and never lose heart.

　　●Don’t believe in a clear finish line for goals.

　　It’s a good idea to set a general timeline, but remember that something will be beyond your control.

　　4

　　If you lock yourself into a given timeline, you might make yourself feel like a failure!

　　Instead, get a general idea of when you’d like your goal to be completed. Then take it one day at a time and focus on making progress instead of reaching the finish line in as little time as possible.

　　●Be sure that you don’t see difficulties as failures.

　　Difficulties mean only one thing: it’s not time for your goal to be completed yet.

　　That’s it!

　　It doesn’t mean you failed; it doesn’t mean you’re weak; it doesn’t mean you’ll never achieve your goals.

　　5

　　You’ve got to keep moving forward and find a way over, around, or through the difficulties.

　　A. Never give up on yourself.

　　B. Failure only exists in your own mind!

　　C. That’s exactly how failure makes us feel.

　　D. It simply means you have not done enough yet.

　　E. You can never say exactly when your goal will be reached.

　　F. Instead, make up your mind to make your goal happen, no matter what!

　　G. Work hard towards your goal, and you will be likely to get good results.
