问题     Americans are proud 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 a 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.
The chief function of a uniform is to________.
选项 A、provide practical benefits to the wearer
B、make the wearer catch the public eye
C、inspire the wearer’s confidence in himself
D、provide the wearer with a professional identity
答案D
解析 本题问题是“工装的主要功能是什么?”，“chief function”是重点定位词，但是没有直接的定位词出现在原文中，分析选项然后代入原文：A. 给着装者提供现实的好处；B. 让着装者抓住公众的眼球；C. 激励着装者对于自我自信感；D. 给着装者提供专业的身份；B这种措辞就是负能量的，所以排除B；C在原文中没有出现；D在第二段的末尾，A在第三段开头，但是在原文畸"uniform also have many practical benefits”里有also“也”，说明不是主要的，本题问题是chief‘主要的’，排除A；D定位在第二段结尾"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?"意思是“对于一名护士，警察，理发师，或服务员而言，有比脱去制服更容易失去专业身份的方法吗?”本句使用否定比较级来突出这一点的最高级含义，因此本题选D。
