Bloomy spring days come again, another year of job hunting as well. So fierce is the competition that job hunters must make careful decisions in every aspect. Whatever we are wearing, our family and friends may accept us, but the workplace may not.

A newspaper 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 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 making or lose money. Most employers 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 applicants, so it is not wrong to reject someone who might disappoint my customers, Ever 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 your preferred employer’s. No company should have to change to satisfy an applicant simply because he or she is unwilling to respect its standards, as long as its standards are legal.

1.Which is the newspaper editor’s opinion according to Paragraph 2?

A.People’s appearances carry messages about themselves.

B.Customers’ choices influence dress standards in companies.

C.Applicants 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.Hiring managers leave the best impression on their applicants.

B.What to wear is not a matter of personal choice for companies.

C.Companies sometimes have to change to respect their applicants.

D.Applicants can wear what they themselves prefer for an interview.

3.Which of the following would be the best title for the text?

A.Hiring Managers Matter B.Appearances Matter

C.Personal Choices Matter D.Employees Matter

4.The author’s attitude towards strange dress styles in the workplace may be 　　　 .

A.negative B.positive

C.appreciative D.indifferent

高一英语听力填空中等难度题查看答案及解析

阅读下面短文并根据题目要求回答问题。答语要意思清楚，结构正确，书写工整。

You don’t have to spend money or even leave your desk to protect the environment. Here’s how to do your bit.

● Buy nothing

“Stop shopping—start living’’ is the slogan (口号) of the Buy Nothing Day ( BND) movement. Every 24th or 25th November, activists take a 24-hour retail (零售) break and… stop shopping!

BND was founded in 1992 by Canadian artist Ted Dave and it has been a great success ever since. People stop shopping on the day, expressing their concern about the environmental problem. So if you are used to shopping every day, BND gives you a chance to have a break! You might change your habit not just for one day, but for life!

● Stop eating prawns

You’ve probably got prawns ready for a quick and easy meal. But how are they produced? Well, most prawns come from Asia and Latin America, where they are fished or farmed.

Unfortunately, prawn fishing causes harm to marine (海洋的) life because huge nets are pulled along the sea bottom. 10 kilos of dead fish are thrown away for every kilo of prawns caught. Prawn farming is no better—a lot of forests are destroyed to make room for the farms. So think again about the prawns on your plate!

● Save the rainforest

Now only 2 million square miles of rainforests are left, and another 1% is being destroyed every year. The trees are being cut down for their wood, and the remaining rainforests could have been used by 2050. Over half of the world’s plant and animal species are found in rainforests. It is believed that extinctions (灭绝) take place every day due to cutting down trees.

Why not go to www. worldlandtrust. org? Donate the price of a cinema ticket for a piece of rainforest. It will be saved with your simple click of the mouse. If we don’t act，in 30 years from now the rainforests will have been destroyed.

1.What do people do on BND?　　 (不多于四个单词)

2.Why is prawn farming bad for the environment?　　 (不多于十个单词)

3.How long will the remaining rainforests be used?　　 (不多于三个单词)

4.What does the passage mainly talk about?　　 (不多于八个单词)

Churchill, Manitoba is a small town. The northern winds roll through it from Canada's Hudson Bay. It might be just another point on the map if not for its seasonal settlers.

It happens like clockwork every fall that hundreds of polar bears make their way through the town to the freezing bay where they hunt for seals after the ice packs enough to support their weight. The animals have been connected with Churchill since at least 1619. That's when Norwegian explorer Jens Munk and his sailors recorded making a meal of one bear while they wintered in the area. “It was of good taste and did not disagree with us. ”That's what Munk wrote in his journal.

Over the years, the animals' coming has earned the town the name of“Polar Bear Capital of the World. ”Today, Churchill's bear population goes beyond its human population. There used to be about 7, 000 residents but now only 813 living there. There was no such thing as an organized tour group to see the bears until 1980. The town might have been in terrible financial hardships. But the growing bear tourism industry helped.

Today, some 10, 000 tourists come to the town to see polar bears for six weeks in autumn every year. But the reasons why they come are different from before. Everyone was happier and they had such a good time seeing polar bears. Now things have changed because the word is out that this Western Hudson Bay population of bears, Churchill Bears, are going to be the first population of polar bears to die out. So when the tourists come up, they all have a little bit of a lump in their throats（如鲠在喉）because they're looking at a beautiful bear, but they're also looking at a dying-out bear, which makes the whole attitude toward the bears different. Unfortunately, that's becoming the major part of the whole attraction of the tours as well. Come and see the bears before it's too late.

1.What can we learn about Churchill polar bears from the text？

A.They have eaten up the seals in the Hudson Bay.

B.They come to Churchill at the same time every year.

C.They move to Churchill to escape the northern winds.

D.They are so dangerous that most natives left their home.

2.What did Munk report in his journal？

A.They fed many polar bears. B.Polar bears were dangerous.

C.They hunted a bear for food. D.They found some seals in the bay.

3.How do polar bears benefit Churchill？

A.They make many people settle down. B.They attract many hunters to come here.

C.They bring much tourist income. D.They supply food to locals.

4.What is the main reason why tourists go to Churchill now？

A.To say good-bye to Churchill Bears. B.To help polar bears become happier.

C.To take photos with Churchill Bears. D.To stop polar bears going to the town.
