21、Spring is coming, and it is time for those about to graduate to look for jobs. Competition is tough, so job seekers must carefully consider their personal choices. Whatever we are wearing, our family and friends may accept us, but the workplace may not.
A high school newspaper editor said it is unfair for companies to discourage visible tattoos(纹身), nose rings, or certain dress styles. It is true you can’t judge a book by its cover, yet people do “cover” themselves in order to convey certain messages. What we wear, including tattoos and nose rings, is an expression of who we are. Just as people convey messages about themselves with their appearances, so do companies. Dress standards exist in the business world for a number of reasons, but the main concern is often about what customers accept.
Others may say how to dress is a matter of personal freedom, but for businesses it is more about whether to make or lose money. Most employers do care about the personal appearances of their employees, because those people represent the companies to their customers.
As a hiring manager I am paid to choose the people who would make the best impression on our customers. There are plenty of well－qualified candidates, so it is not wrong to reject someone who might disappoint my customers. Even though I am open－minded, I can’t expect all our customers are.
There is nobody to blame but yourself if your set of choices does not match that of your preferred employer. No company should have to change to satisfy a candidate simply because he or she is unwilling to respect its standards, as long as its standards are legal.
【1】Which of the following is the newspaper editor’s opinion according to Paragraph 2?
A．People’s appearances convey messages about themselves.
B．Customers’ choices influence dress standards in companies.
C．Candidates with tattoos or nose rings should be fairly treated.
D．Strange dress styles should not be encouraged in the workplace.
【2】What can be inferred from the text?
A．Candidates have to wear what companies prefer for an interview.
B．Hiring managers make the best impression on their candidates.
C．Companies sometimes have to change to respect their candidates.
D．What to wear is not a matter of personal choice for companies.
【3】Which of the following can replace the underlined world “reject” in Paragraph 4?
A．remind
B．repeat
C．refuse
D．reserve
【4】Which of the following would be the best title for the text?
A．Personal Choices Matter
B．Appearances Matter
C．Employees Matter
D．Hiring Managers Matter
【5】The author’s attitude towards strange dress styles in the workplace may be described to be ________.
A．negative
B．positive
C．enthusiastic
D．sympathetic
22、On a sunny but bitterly cold February day, a line of small children snaked their way from Dale to Dale Fort on the Haverfordwest estuary. They were the last of more than 2,000 volunteers who over the last year have collected, stored and put seagrass seeds into little bags, ready for planting. These seagrass seeds were soon to join others on the seafloor a few hundred metres off-shore from Dale to recover two hectares of seagrass meadow (草甸). This recovery is the latest attempt to change a century of destruction.
In the UK, we can only estimate the loss but in Denmark, seagrass records dating back to the 1880s give a very serious and accurate picture. At the turn of the last century, fishing was vital to the Danish economy. It was known then that seagrass meadows were a vital habitat for young sea fish and so in 1908 botanist Carl Ostenfeld was asked to study the seagrasses, then found in all the estuaries and entrance of Denmark. That study provided a clear standard against which to measure the loss of seagrass in Denmark, a loss that currently stands at 95 percent.
Why does this matter? Seagrass not only provide a nurturing habitat for fish but also stabilises the shore and absorbs energy, reducing the impact of storms. Boat anchors (船锚) are one cause of damage to seagrass; seashore development another. But the main cause is river water pollution, particularly nutrients from fertiliser and dirty water. These excess nutrients cause algal (藻类) growth that blankets the seagrass, cutting out light, and then later, when it dies off and rots, removes all oxygen.
One of the important messages is, if you stop killing sea life and protect it, then it does come back. We can turn the oceans around and we know it makes sense economically, for human health and, of course, for the environment.
【1】What did the kids do in Dale over the last year?
A．Have an interesting trip.
B．Gather seagrass seeds.
C．Protect seagrass from snakes.
D．Make an important study.
【2】What can we know about Carl Ostenfeld’s study?
A．It was carried out in the UK and Denmark.
B．It contributed to Danish economy greatly.
C．It showed the loss of seagrass in Denmark.
D．It made some practical measures for Denmark.
【3】Which of the following affects seagrass most seriously?
A．Algal growth.
B．Seashore development.
C．Air pollution.
D．Boats anchors
【4】What is the purpose of the text?
A．To show recovering seagrass is beneficial.
B．To ask people to plant much seagrass.
C．To present the dangers to seagrass.
D．To persuade people to catch fewer sea fish.
23、Sharks may be able to smell blood from miles away, but they probably don't know how red it is. It is likely that they only see the world in black and white according to a study that is the first to look into sharks’ visual systems.
A team at the University of Western Australia studied the visual systems of many different species of sharks and what they have found is diversity in eye design that mirrors the ecological and behavioral diversity of the shark species. The team looked at the retinal cells of 17 species of sharks caught from Queensland and Western Australia and found out that the cells are responsible for sharks’ color blindness.
According to the study, these animals are color-blind due to the light receptors they have got in their eyes. There are two main types of light-sensitive ceils to allow animals to see: rod cells help measure brightness because they are highly sensitive to light and allow night vision but cannot tell colors apart, while various types of cone cells help distinguish colors. They looked at the structure of sharks' rod and cone cells in the retina. Human eyes come with red, green and blue cone variations, while sharks appear to have just one kind of cone cell.
The study suggests that contrast against the background, rather than color itself, might be more important for object detection by sharks. Costumes that camouflage swimmers’ bodies in sea water are less likely to draw a shark’s attention than ones with bright, solid colors that emphasize their outline. “It’s the high contrast against the water rather than the color itself which is probably attractive to sharks,” said Professor Nathan Hart who led the study.
【1】What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about?
A．Stressing the importance of the study.
B．Showing the features of sharks’ eye design.
C．Giving the process and the result of the study.
D．Telling the functions of sharks’ visual systems.
【2】What leads to sharks’ blindness to color according to Paragraph 3?
A．Their less sensitive rod cells.
B．Their lack of various cone cells.
C．Their inability to tell apart colors.
D．Their strong sensitivity to brightness.
【3】What can be inferred in the last paragraph?
A．The color plays a key part in sharks' detecting objects.
B．You should make your outline stand out in the sea for your safety.
C．You should be dressed in bright color to avoid sharks’ attention in the sea.
D．Sharks are more interested in sharp contrast against the water rather than your body.
【4】What’s the writing purpose of the text?
A．To challenge a traditional belief.
B．To inform us a scientific discovery.
C．To amuse us with interesting information.
D．To raise our awareness of protecting wild animals.
24、We buy because it makes us happy. For some people, if they're feeling blue, shopping will make them happier because it restores some control in their lives.It's making the choice to buy or not to buy that helps people feel more in control.Retail therapy proves to be a useful and practical thing.
Doing something we find rewarding lights up the brain's pleasure center, which when activated leads to the release of dopamine(多巴胺), which makes us feel good. It's why we can even get addicted to the pleasure of buying. Experiments with the brain's dopamine releases in pleasurable situations have found that expectations also kicks them off to leave us in a joyful atmosphere; we experience pleasure, in other words, when we're looking forward to a fun event as well as during and after it. A trip to the mall is also enjoyable in our schedules for the weekend.
Pleasure is not the only reason why we buy things we don't need at all. Ryan Howell, an professor of psychology at San Francisco State University said back in our hunter and gatherer days，when people saw something they wanted, they'd grab it, even if they didn't need it, because it was likely they wouldn't come across that item again. “If you see something that seems to be running in short supply，you're going to get it,” Howell said. These days, such scarcity isn't an issue — we can buy nearly anything we want if we have the means — but we often still approach life like our ancestors did, especially when it comes to a sale. When we see a 50% off clearance price tag, that scarcity impulse kicks into gear, Howell said. The feeling is, if we don't buy that item now, it's going to be gone forever — or at least at that good price.
【1】What can we learn from the first paragraph?
A. People may lose control of life occasionally.
B. People tend to be controlled by purchasing desire.
C. Purchase can comfort people when they are upset.
D. The concept of retail therapy was once a false idea.
【2】What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A. Experiments. B. Expectations.
C. Dopamine releases. D. Pleasurable situations.
【3】What can we infer according to the last paragraph?
A. A good bargain can’t be missed.
B. Our ancestors grabbed things for survival.
C. We should watch out for the trap of the sale.
D. Our ancestors had similar attitude with us to things wanted.
【4】What is the best title for the text?
A. Why We Buy Things
B. To Purchase As You Wish
C. The Approach to Happiness
D. The Relaxation in Modern Life
