三、 阅读理解
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.
8. Which of the following is the newspaper editor’s opinion according to Paragraph 2?
A. People’s apperances cany 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.
9. 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.
10. 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
11. The author's attitude towards strange dress styles in the workplace may best be described
A. negative B. positive
C. enthusiastic D. sympathetic
参考答案：
8. C    9. D    10. B    11. A
这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲了公司职员的着装是否得体不只代表个人还代表公司，而求职者的着装也会影响招聘经理对其的印象。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。由第二段第一句 “A high school newspaper editor said it is unfair for companies to discourage visible tattoos(纹身) nose rings, or certain dress styles.”可知报纸编辑认为有纹身或者鼻环的人也应该被公平对待，故正确答案为C。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。由第二段最后一句 “Dress standards exist in the business world for a number of reasons, but the main concern is often about what customers accept.” 可知在职场着装不只代表个人形象更代表公司形象，所以D项符合文意。
【10题详解】
主旨大意题。文章主要讲了公司职员的着装是否得体不只代表个人还代表公司，而求职者的着装也会影响招聘经理对其的印象，由此可知文章的主要内容为着装，四个选项中只有B项提到了着装，所以 “Appearances Matter” 最合适，故正确答案为B。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。由最后一段“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.”可知，作者认为求职者因为奇装异服而被公司拒绝是很正常的，因为很少会有公司会为求职者改变标准，求职者应该改变自己来符合公司的要求。由此可知作者对奇装异服的态度是负面的，故正确答案为A。
22. Four Wild Animal Species Were Endangered
Maybe you can still see them at the zoo. But that doesn’t mean they’re doing alright in the wild.
Tigers
All six tiger species are endangered, with Sumatran tigers and South Chin tigers at a seriously endangered status. The main reasons for their population decline are illegal hunting and destroyed habitats(栖息地), as humans clear forests to gather timber（木材）and build roadways. Only about 3890 tigers presently live in the wild.
Ground squirrels
That’s right, even squirrels are endangered, specifically the San Joaquin ground squirrel. Native to California, USA, these guys have been disappearing since 1979 on account of the construction and human development going through their habitat. Their total population is unknown, but it could be anywhere between 124000 and 413000.
Giraffes
The International Union for the Conservation of Nature recently put giraffes at a vulnerable(脆弱的) status, the level just before endangered. The giraffe population has declined 40 percent in the last 30 years, primarily due to loss of habitat and illegal hunting. Some giraffes are killed just for their tails, which are considered status symbols in Africa.
Asian elephants
The main threat to Asian elephants, one of the most intelligent animals, is their shrinking habitat. As the human population grows, people invade their land to build roads and railway tracks. Elephants in Myanmar are at an especially high risk for being captured and traded or used illegally in the tourist industry. Fewer than 50000 are left on the entire continent.
21. What is the total population of tigers living in the wild?
   A. Around 3890. B. 50000.
C. 124000. D. 413000.
22．Which of the following is considered one of the most intelligent animals?
   A. Tigers. B. Giraffes.
C. Ground squirrels. D. Asian elephants.
23．What is the common threat to the four wild animals?
   A. Illegal hunting. B. Disturbed habitat.
   C. Developing tourism. D. Unnecessary construction.
