Spring 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 (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 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, 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 can’t 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.
8. Which of the following is the newspaper editor’s opinion according to Paragraph 2?
A. People’s apperances cany messages about themselves.
B. Customers’ choices 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.
9. What can be inferred from the text?
A. Candidates have to wear what companies prefer for an interview.
B. Hiring managers make the best impression on their candidates.
C. Companies sometimes have to change to respect their candidates.
D. What to wear is not a matter of personal choice for companies.
10. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?
A. Personal Choices Matter
B. Appearances Matter
C. Employees Matter
D. Hiring Managers Matter
11. The author's attitude towards strange dress styles in the workplace may best be described
A. negative
B. positive
C. enthusiastic
D. sympathetic
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. B 11. A
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。

文章主要讲了公司职员的着装是否得体不只代表个人还代表公司，而求职者的着装也会影响招聘经理对其的印象。

【8题详解】
细节理解题。

由第二段第一句“A high school newspaper editor said it is unfair for companies to discourage visible tattoos(纹身) nose rings, or certain dress styles.”可知报纸编辑认为有纹身或者鼻环的人也应该被公平对待，故正确答案为C。

【9题详解】
推理判断题。

由第二段最后一句“Dress standard s exist in the business world for a number of reasons,
but the main concern is often about what customers accept.” 可知在职场着装不只代表个人形象更代表公司形象，所以D项符合文意。

【10题详解】
主旨大意题。

文章主要讲了公司职员的着装是否得体不只代表个人还代表公司，而求职者的着装也会影响招聘经理对其的印象，由此可知文章的主要内容为着装，四个选项中只有B项提到了着装，所以“Appearances Matter” 最合适，故正确答案为B。

【11题详解】
细节理解题。

由最后一段“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.”可知，作者认为求职者因为奇装异服而被公司拒绝是很正常的，因为很少会有公司会为求职者改变标准，求职者应该改变自己来符合公司的要求。

由此可知作者对奇装异服的态度是负面的，故正确答案为A。

D
A company in San Francisco, California, has found a to turn used plastic bottles into women’s shoes.
Every day, millions of Americans drink water and other liquids from plastic bottles. More than 60 million of them arc thrown away each day. Many of the plastic bottles end up in landfills or are burned with other waste products.

He explains how ihey turn plastic into soft material for women’s feet. They take the plastic, clean it, and break it down into small pieces. Then they press them through a device that makes soft fibers. Those fibers arc then combined together. This is done by a 3D machine. It is designed to reduce waste while making the shoes. The knitted stuff and the inner part of the shoe arc then attached to the shoe’s outer part, called the sole (鞋底).This outer sole is also made from environmentally friendly material: responsibly responsibly sourced no-carbon rubber.
Rolhy’s shoes are sold online. They are flat shoes, with either a rounded or poi nted toe. They come in different colors and designs. They cost either $ 125 or $ 145 per pair, depending on the design. After American actress Gwyneth Paltrow discovered them last year, the demand for the shoes grew. Martin says there is no shortage of mat erial to fill that demand. “We’re not
going to run out of water bottles any time soon. So we have a limitless supply of material, and I think that is a good sign for our future." When the environmentally friendly shoes wear out, customers can return them at no cost to a company that uses the recycled material to make other products.
For now, the shoes are only available to be shipped in the United States. However, the company says it will add international shipping in the near future.
12. How are used plastic bottles usually dealt with?
A. They are used to make shoes.
B. They are buried or burned.
C. They are changed into soft materials.
D. They are returned to factories for reuse.
13. What does the underlined word “knitted” in the third paragraph mean?

B. Fixed.
C. Spotted.
D. Repaired.
14. Which of the following directly helped to increase the sales of Rothy’s shoes?

B. The reasonable price.
C. The star power of Gwyneth Paltrow.
D. The company's advertisement.
15. What is the purpose of the text?
