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 (紋身) , nose rings, or certain dress styles. it is true you cant judge a book by its cover, yet people do “cover” themselves in order to convey (傳遞) 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 (雇員) , 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 cant 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 editors opinion according to paragraph 2?a. peoples appearances carry messages about themselves.b. customerschoices 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. what to wear is not a matter of personal choice for companies.c. companies sometimes have to change to respect their candidates.d. hiring managers make the best impression on their candidates.3. which of the following would be the best title for the text?a. employees matterb. personal choices matterc. appearances matterd. hiring managers matter4. the authors attitude towards strange dress styles in the workplace may best be described as.a. enthusiasticb. negativec. positive d. sympathetic【參考答案】45.cbcb 社會(huì)生活類(lèi)-46for those who make journeys across the world, the speed of travel today has turned the countries into a series of villages. distances between them appear no greater to a modern traveler than those which once faced men as they walked from village to village. jet planes fly people from one end of the earth to the other, allowing them a freedom of movement undreamt of a hundred years ago.yet some people wonder if the revolution in travel has gone too far. a price has been paid, they say, for the conquest (征服) of time and distance.travel is something to be enjoyed, not endured(忍受) . the boat offers leisure and time enough to appreciate the ever- changing sights and sounds of a journey. a journey by train also has a special charm about it. lakes and forests and wild, open plains sweeping past your carriage window create a grand view in which time and distance mean nothing. on board a plane, however, there is just the blank blue of the sky filling the narrow windows of the airplane. the soft lighting, in- flight films and gentle music make up the only world you know, and the hours progress slowly.then there is the time spent beingprocessedat a modern airport. people are conveyed like robots along walkways; baggage is weighed, tickets produced, examined and produced yet again before the passengers move to another waiting area. journeys by rail and sea take longer, yes, but the hours devoted to beingprocessedat departure and arrival in airports are luckily absent. no wonder, then, that the modern high- speed trains are winning back passengers from the airlines.man, however, is now a world traveler and cannot turn his back on the airplane. the working lives of too many people depend upon it; whole new industries have been built around its design and operation. the holiday- maker, too, with limited time to spend, patiently endures the busy airports and the limited space of the flight to gain those extra hours and even days, relaxing in the sun. speed controls peoples lives; time saved, in work or play, is the important thingor so we are told. perhaps those first horsemen, riding free across the wild, open plains, were enjoying a better world than the one we know today. they could travel at will, and the clock was not their master.1. what does the writer try to express in paragraph 1?a. travel by plane has speeded up the growth of villages.b. the speed of modern travel has made distances relatively short.c. the freedom of movement has helped people realize their dreams.d. man has been fond of traveling rather than staying in one place.2. how does the writer support the underlined statement in paragraph 2?a. by giving instructions.b. by analyzing cause and effect.c. by following the order of time.d. by giving examples.3. according to paragraph 3, passengers are turning back to modern high- speed trains because.a. they pay less for the ticketsb. they feel safer during the travelc. they can enjoy higher speed of traveld. they dont have to waste time beingprocessed4. what does the last sentence of the passage mean?a. they could enjoy free and relaxing travel.b. they needed the clock to tell the time.c. they preferred traveling on horseback.d. they could travel with their master.5. what is the main idea of the passage?a. air travel benefits people and industries.b. train travel has some advantages over air travel.c. great changes have taken place in modern travel.d. the high speed of air travel is gained at a cost.【參考答案】46.bddad c72013山東卷 -dsparrow is a fastfood chain with 200 restaurants. some years ago, the group to which sparrow belonged was taken over by another company. although sparrow showed no sign of declining, the chain was generally in an unhealthy state. with more and more fastfood concepts reaching the market, the sparrow menu had to struggle for attention. and to make matters worse, its new owner had no plans to give it the funds it required.sparrow failed to grow for another two years, until a new ceo, carl pearson, decided to build up its market share. he did a survey, which showed that consumers who already used sparrow restaurants were extremely positive about the chain, while customers of other fastfood chains were unwilling to turn away from them. sparrow had to develop a new promotional campaign. pearson faced a battle over the future of the sparrow brand. the chains owner now favored rebranding sparrow as marcys restaurants. pearson resisted, arguing for an advertising campaign designed to convince customers that visits to sparrow restaurants were fun. such an attempt to establish a positive relationship between a company and the general public was unusual for that time. pearson strongly believed that numbers were the key to success, rather than customers spending power. finally, the owner accepted his idea. the campaign itself changed the traditional advertising style of the fastfood industry. the tv ads of sparrow focused on entertainment and featured original songs performed by a variety of stars. instead of showing the superiority of a specific product, the intension was to put sparrow in the hearts of potential customers.pearson also made other decisions which he believed would contribute to the new sparrow image. for example, he offered to lower the rent of any restaurants which achieved a certain increase in their turnover (營(yíng)業(yè)額)these efforts paid off, and sparrow soon became one of the most successful fastfood chains in the regions where it operated.71which was one of the problems sparrow faced before pearson became ceo?a. the number of its customers was declining.b. its customers found the food unhealthy.c. it was in need of financial support.d. most of its restaurants were closed.72what does the underlined word “them” in paragraph 2 refer to?acustomers of sparrow restaurants. bsparrow restaurants.ccustomers of other fastfood chains. dother fastfood
