8．Five years ago，David Smith wore an expensive suit to work every day．"I was a clothes addict （迷），"he jokes．"I used to carry a fresh suit to work with me so I could change if my clothes got wrinkled （皺的）．"Today David wears casual clothes-khaki pants and a sports shirt-to the office．He hardly ever wears a 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 changes from formal to casual office wear have been slow．In the early 1990s，many companies allowed their workers 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 workers has really become an everyday thing，"said business adviser Maisly Jones．
Why have so many companies started allowing their workers to wear casual clothes？One reason is that it's easier for a company to attract new workers 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．（保守的著裝要求）"Another reason is that people seem happier and more productive when they are wearing comfortable clothes．In a study made by Levi Strauss and Company，85percent of employers said that casual dress has a side effect on work．Supporters of casual office wear also say 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．"

24．David Smith refers to himself as having been"a clothes addict"becauseC．
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 tidy and clean all the time
D．he didn't want to spend much money on clothes
25．David Smith wears casual clothes now，becauseA．
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
26．According to this passage，which of the following is FALSE？D
A．Many workers don't like a conservative dress code．
B．Comfortable clothes make workers more productive．
C．A casual clothes code is welcomed by young workers．
D．All the employers in the U．S．a(chǎn)re for casual office wear．

分析 本文講述的是在西方國(guó)家的公司里越來越多的工作人員都傳休閑服工作，文章解釋了具體的原因和這樣做的好處．

解答 CAD
24．C 理解推斷題．根據(jù)文章第一段"I used to carry a fresh suit to work with me so I could change if my clothes got wrinkled．"可知他帶了另外一套衣服，防止這一套有皺紋，就換上另外一套，說明他希望自己的穿著很整潔．故選C．
25．A 細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)第一段3，4行He hardly ever wears a necktie．"I'm working harder than ever，"David says，"and I need to feel comfortable．"可知穿休閑服裝讓他更舒服，很隨意．故選A．
26．D 理解推斷題．根據(jù)文章第二段第一句Why have so many companies started allowing their employees to wear casual clothes？可知很多公司都允許工人穿休閑服．但是并沒有說所有的公司都是支持這樣做的．故D項(xiàng)內(nèi)容不準(zhǔn)確．

點(diǎn)評(píng) 閱讀理解題測(cè)試考生在閱讀基礎(chǔ)上的邏輯推理能力，要求考生根據(jù)文章所述事件的邏輯關(guān)系，對(duì)未說明的趨勢(shì)或結(jié)局作出合理的推斷；或根據(jù)作者所闡述的觀點(diǎn)理論，對(duì)文章未涉及的現(xiàn)象、事例給以解釋．考生首先要仔細(xì)閱讀短文，完整了解信息，準(zhǔn)確把握作者觀點(diǎn)．

20．The Channel is the name given to the stretch of water（一片汪洋） which separates England and France．Ferries（擺渡） operate all year round to carry people across the Channel，and they are busy most of the year．January is the only quiet month nowadays．As well as summer holiday-makers，there are day trippers and coach traffic，not to mention lorries and other commercial vehicles．Some ferries carry cars and their passengers，while others also connect train passengers with the Continental rail network．
The biggest hazard for the ferry is the wind．The crew listens to BBC weather reports four times a day．Or they sometimes get gale（大風(fēng)） warnings from local radio station．
Crossing the Channel by ferry is a bit like trying to cross Oxford Street on a busy afternoon，according to one ferryboat captain．The ferries from Folkstone and Dover to Calais and Boulogne have to cross the main flow of traffic．This consists of ships traveling through the Channel to and from Northern Europe．There may be four hundred ships making the journey at any one time，and they all pass through a"choke point"which is only fifteen miles （twenty-five kilometers） wide．The cross-channel ferries have to sail right through the middle of all this traffic．

25．The passage is mainly concerned withC．
A．the English Channel          
B．the weather on the Channel
C．cross-channel ferries         
D．what crossing the Channel by ferry is like
26．The word hazard  is closest in meaning toB．
A．trouble       B．danger      
C．enemy         D．problem
27．We can infer from the passage thatA．
A．if there is a gale warning from the BBC，the ferries will stop operating．
B．the traffic on the Channel is very busy only in winter
C．ferries are busiest in the afternoon
D．the crew of the ferry listens to the weather reports four times a day
28．Where does this passage most probably appear？C
A．In a dictionary．
B．In a novel．
C．In a transportation magazine．
D．In a geography textbook．

17．I look in the mirror，and I'm not happy with what I see．I don't have a"perfect"face．I look in the magazines and all I see are girls with fair hair，blue eyes，and，of course，a pretty little nose．They're on the outside of the buses that I take home，the television programs I watch，and the billboards（廣告牌）I walk under．Almost every advertisement I see shows this human physical"perfection"．These billboards not only tell me what to drink，but also how to look．
    Our society places more importance on a person's physical beauty，rather than their ability，honesty and character．We have influenced women to go through painful surgeries（手術(shù)）and starve themselves to become this society-built physical model．To be a beautiful woman in the 21st century doesn't mean that you are a brilliant doctor or caring mother．It means you have the perfect jaw，eyes and lips．It means that you can be six feet tall and weigh one hundred and ten pounds．
But what about the women who are starting to leave their youth？Instead of looking at aging as a sign of wisdom，we try to prevent the aging process （過程）．It's a kind of funny thing to want to look eighteen when fifty．Fifty is a relaxed age，when you can step back and look at all you've achieved（successfully complete something）．It is when your hard work pays off．Unfortunately，our society just sees you as"old"．To stop the aging process，women buy wrinkle（皺紋）creams，do eye lifts and face lifts．They spend thousands of dollars to win the hopeless battle against age．
    I remember when I was about thirteen years old and going through teens，I had oily hair，and a half develo ped body．I hated the way I looked．I used to cry to my mother all the time，but she would just laugh and tell me that"you don't want anyone to like your appearance．It's your heart that is important，because beauty fades（消逝）．"I knew that she was right．If you work on your heart enough，people will start to see the beauty in you，which lasts and remains on even after you die．
25．The main idea of the first paragraph is thatC．
A．the author doesn't have a perfect face
B．women have to look beautiful
C．photos of beautiful girls can be seen everywhere
D．there are too many beauties in daily life
26．What's the author's attitude towards being"old"？B
A．It's a pity that people have to get old．
B．It's a fruitful and wise time．
C．It's stupid to try to stay young．
D．It's a pity that society looks down upon the old．
27．It isDthat regard（s） the physical beauty as more important．
A．women themselves                    
B．the author's parents
C．newspapers and magazines                
D．society
28．What's the author's opinion about beauty？C
A．The author doesn't like the beauties our society values．
B．It is not important whether a person looks beautiful or not．
C．It is a person's heart and inner qualities that are important rather than the physical beauty．
D．The author feels appearance is important to a person．
