Americans are proud of their variety and individuality (个性), yet they love and respect few things more than a uniform, whether it is the uniform of a lift 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 higher quality from a man who wears a uniform. The television repairman who wears a uniform is likely 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 hairdresser, or a waiter to lose professional identity (职业身份) than to step out of uniform?
Uniforms also have many practical good points. They are often more comfortable and more lasting than civilian clothes. Primary among the argument against uniforms is their lack of variety and the 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 are likely to think, speak, and act similarly on the job at least. Uniforms also give rise to some practical problems. Though they are long-las6ng, 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.
Those who are against uniforms believe that people wearing uniforms ______.
选项
A、are usually helpful
B、bare little freedom
C、lose personal character
D、enjoy greater popularity
答案
C
解析
这道题问的是对穿制服持反对意见的人认为穿制服的人会是什么样。A选项 are usually helpful的意思是“通常是爱帮助人的”,B选项have little freedom的意思是“几乎没有自由”,C选项lose personal character的意思是“失去个性”,D选项enjoy greater popularity的意思是“更加受欢迎”。本题答案可以从第二段第三句话得出:Primary among the argument against uniforms is their lack of variety and the loss of individuality experienced by people who must wear them.“不赞成穿制服的人最主要的理由是它缺少变化,不得不穿制服的人会感觉失去个性”。关键词语是the loss of individuality,它和C选项lose personal character意思相同。另外,第二段第五句话说:When people look alike,they are likely to think,speak,and act similarly on the job at least.“当人们看上去相像时,他们有可能在工作时思维、言语和行为方式也很相似。”这句话说明了同行的人失去个性时的表现。因此C为正确答案。
