24、ore an expensive suit to work every day. “I was a clothes addict,” he jokes. “I used to carry a fresh suit to work with me so I could change if my clothes got wrinkled.” Today David wears casual clothes-khaki pants and sports shirt to the office. He hardly ever wears a necktie. “Im working harder th

25、an ever,” David says, “and I need to feel comfortable.” More and more companies are allowing their office workers to wear casual clothes to work in the United States. The change from formal to casual office wear has been gradual. In the early 1990s, many companies allowed their employees to wear cas

26、ual clothes on Friday (but only on Friday). This became known as “dress-down Friday” or “Casual Friday”. “What started out as an extra one-day-a-week benefit for employees has really become an everyday thing.” said business consultant(顾问) Maisly Jones.Why have so many companies started allowing thei

27、r employees to wear casual clothes? One reason is that its easier for a company to attract new employees if it has a casual dress code. “A lot of young people dont want to dress up for work,” says the owner of a software company, “so its hard to hire people if you have a conservative（保守的） dress code

28、.” Another reason is that people seem happier and more productive when they are wearing comfortable clothes. In a study conducted by Levi Strauss and Company, 85 percent of employers said that they believe that casual dress improves employee morale (士气). Only 4 percent of employers said that casual

29、dress has a negative impact on productivity. Supporters of casual office wear also argue that a casual dress code helps them save money. “Suits are expensive, if you have to wear one every day,” one person said. “For the same amount of money, you can buy a lot more casual clothes.” 56. David Smith r

30、efers to himself as having been “a clothes addict,” because _.A. he often wore khaki pants and a sports shirtB. he couldnt stand a clean appearanceC. he wanted his clothes to look neat all the timeD. he didnt want to spend much money on clothes57. David Smith wears casual clothes now, because _.A. t

31、hey make him feel at ease（轻松的）when workingB. he cannot afford to buy expensive clothesC. he looks handsome in casual clothesD. he no longer works for any company58. According to this passage, which of the following statements is false?A. Many employees dont like a conservative dress code.B. Comforta

32、ble clothes make employees more productive.C. A casual clothes code is welcomed by young employees.D. All the employers in the U. S. are for casual office wear.59. According to this passage, which of the following statements is true?A. Company workers started to dress down about twenty years ago.B.

33、Dress-down has become an everyday phenomenon since the early 1990s.C. “Dress-down Friday” was first given as a favor from employers.D. Many workers want to wear casual clothes to impress people.60. In this passage, the following advantages of casual office wear are mentioned in the passage except _.

34、A. saving employees money B. making employees more attractiveC. improving employees motivation D. making employees happier BA senior United Nations Childrens Fund (UNICEF) official on May 29 praised China for its remarkable achievements in childrens welfare (福利). A. H. M. Farook, UNICEFs operations

35、area officer for China and Mongolia said that China “can be very satisfied to tell the whole world what can be done with limited resources to help its children to grow healthily and happily.” Chinas child population makes up one-fifth of the worlds total. “The reason behind the tremendous (巨大的) achi

36、evement is Chinas long tradition of caring for children both at home and in society,” he said. “Whats more，Chinese people have always given special attention to children who are in special need.” The UN official made the remarks when addressing a group of 50 children and staff from the Beijing Child

37、rens Welfare Home at the Shangri-la Hotel, Beijing. The hotel invited the orphans to share snacks (小吃), sing, dance and play games at a park inside the hotel for a “Share the Sunshine” party, as a prelude (前奏) to celebrations to mark the Childrens Day. The Beijing childrens Welfare Home, set up soon

38、 after New China was founded in 1949, has at present more than 400 children. A leading official of the welfare institution said that the children live a happy life and that the agency (机构) spends 400500 yuan a month for an average orphan. An average Chinese worker earned 440 yuan a month during the

39、first quarter this year. Gu Xiaojin, deputy secretary-general of the China Youth Development Foundation (CYDF), said people from all walks of life have contributed to the welfare of the Chinese children. She said that CYDF set up the Project Hope in 1989, which calls on people across the country to

40、donate money to help poor children to continue their schooling. By the end of last year, she said, CYDF had collected nearly 700 million yuan in donations, which has helped the establishment (建立) of 2, 074 Hope primary schools and enabled more than 1. 25 million dropouts（辍学）to return to school class

41、rooms. Three “Hope Stars” also attended the party.

46、t is possible that this passage was written in _. A. 1988 B. 1996 C. 1998 D. 2008 CHow can you find out what is going on inside a persons body without opening the patients body up? Regular X rays can show a lot. CAT scans can show even more. They can give a complete view of body organs.What is a CAT

47、 scan? CAT stands for a kind of machine. It is a special X-ray machine that gets a 360-degree picture of a small area of a patients body.Doctors use X rays to study and determine diseases and injuries within the body; X rays can find a foreign object inside the body or take pictures of some inside o

48、rgans to be X-rayed.A CAT scanner, however, uses a group of X rays to give a cross-sectional view(横切面试图 ) of a specific part of the body. A fine group of X rays in scanned across the body and around the patient from many different directions. A computer studies the information from each direction an

49、d produces a clear cross-sectional picture on a screen. This picture is then photographed for later use. Several cross sections, taken one after another, can give clear “photos” of the entire body or of any body organs. The newest CAT scanners can even give clear pictures of active, moving organs, j

50、ust as a fast-action camera can “stop the action”, giving clear pictures of what appears unclear to the eye. And because of the 360-degree pictures, CAT scans show clear and complete views of organs in a manner that was once only shown during operation or examination of a dead patient.Frequent appea

51、rance before X rays can cause skin burns, cancer or other damage to the body. Yet CAT scans actually dont cause the patient to more radiation than regular X rays do. CAT scans can also be done without getting something harmful into the patient, so they are less risky than regular X rays.CAT scans pr

52、ovide exact, detailed information. They can quickly find such a thing as bleeding inside the brain. They are helping to save lives.66What is NOT true of a CAT scan?AIt is safer than regular X rays.BIt makes use of computer techniques.CIt can stop the action of an organ for a short time.DIt gives cle

53、ar pictures of active, moving body parts.67The underlined words “a foreign object”（Para 3）most probably refer to .Aa badly injured part inside the bodyBa new thing that is unknown to the doctorCa strange organ that has grown in the bodyDan object that gets inside the body by chance68What is the spec

54、ial use of the latest CAT scanners?AIt provides clear photos of moving organs.BIt can take pictures of inside organs.CIt wont cause serious skin burns, cancer or other damage to the body.DIt helps to find out what is going on inside a persons body without opening it up.69We can infer from this passa

55、ge that .Apatients in front of CAT may suffer from a bit of radiationBdoctors need no opening-up of the body with CAT scannersCCAT scanners are more expensive than regular X-ray machinesDCAT scanners can take photos of either the whole body or a part of it70The best title of this passage might be .A

60、 self-esteem (自尊心), one of the most important things a person can have.When I was seven, I got work at a golf course near our house.

69、to be true, but its part of an increasingly popular scheme for commuters(上班族) across Europe. Employers in Belgium, the Netherlands and other Europe countries are rewarding their staff if they come to work on a bicycle, paying them for every kilometer they cycle, all in an effort to promote environme

Its not so easy, especially in urban areas, to expand parking space,” he said. 5Colruyts belief that employees who cycle to work are healthier than their colleagues who dont is backed up by research from a Dutch organization TNO. The re
