Self-assessment Test

1、单选题:
‍Section B​‍Directions: In this part there is a passage followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice.​Americans are pound of their variety and individuality, yet they love and respect few things more than a uniform, whether it is the uniform of an elevator operator or the uniform of a five-star general. Why are uniforms so popular in the United States?​Among the arguments for uniforms, one of the first is that in the eyes of most people they look more professional than civilian(百姓的)clothes. People have become conditioned to expect superior quality from a man who wears a uniform. The television repairman who wears uniform tends to inspire more trust than one who appears in civilian clothes. Faith in the skill of a garage mechanic is increased by a uniform. What easier way is there for a nurse, a policeman, a barber, or a waiter to lose professional identity(身份)than to step out of uniform?​Uniforms also have many practical benefits. They save on other clothes. They save on laundry bills. They are tax-deductible(可减税的). They are often more comfortable and more durable than civilian clothes.​Primary among the arguments against uniforms is their lack of variety and the consequent loss of individuality experienced by people who must wear them. Though there are many types of uniforms, the wearer of any particular type is generally stuck with it, without change, until retirement. When people look alike, they tend to think, speak, and act similarly, on the job at least.​Uniforms also give rise to some practical problems. Though they are long-lasting, often their initial expense is greater than the cost of civilian clothes. Some uniforms are also expensive to maintain, requiring professional dry cleaning rather than the home laundering possible with many types of civilian clothes.​21. It is surprising that Americans who worship variety and individuality _______.​
选项:
A: still judge a man by his clothes
B: hold the uniform in such high regard
C: enjoy having a professional identity
D: will respect an elevator operator as much as a general in uniform
答案: 【 hold the uniform in such high regard

2、单选题:
‏ People are accustomed to think that a man in uniform _______.‌
选项:

‏The chief function of a uniform is to _______.‏

C: inspire the wearer’s confidence in himself

答案: 【 provide the wearer with a professional identity

4、单选题:

选项:
A: are usually helpful

1、单选题:
​Section B‏​Directions: In this part there is a passage followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice.‏A research report says that virtual worlds can be important places where children practice what they will do in real life. They are also a powerful and attractive alternative to more passive adventures like watching TV. The research was done with children using the BBC's Adventure Rock virtual world, aimed at those aged 6-12.It surveyed and interviewed children who were the first to test the game. ‏‏The online world is a theme island built for the BBC's children channel by Belgian game maker Larian. In this virtual world, the players can gain points by finishing tasks, such as collecting coins etc. They can create their own works in different 'studios' like an art studio, a music studio and an animation studio. Although children travel around the world alone, they use message boards to share what they find and what they do in the different creative studios they find around the virtual space. ‏‏At times children were explorers and at others they were social climbers eager to connect with other players. Some were power users looking for more information about how the virtual space really worked. The children could try all kinds of things without having to be afraid of the consequences that would follow if they tried them in the real world. They learned many useful social skills and played around with their identity in ways that would be much more difficult in real life. According to the study what children liked about virtual worlds was the chance to create content such as music, cartoons and videos. ‏‏The publishers of the report say that virtual worlds can be a powerful, engaging and real interactive substitute for more passive media. They urged creators of virtual spaces for children to get young people involved very early on because they really do have good ideas to add and they are very good critical friends. ‏21.
