E.Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答下列问题): ( 10分)
Five years ago, David Smith wore an expensive suit to work every day. He said, "I used to carry a fresh suit to work with me, so I could change if my clothes got wrinkled（起皱）." Today David wears Nike pants and a sports shirt to the office. He hardly ever wears a necktie. "I am working harder than ever," David says, "and I need to feel comfortable."
More and more companies are allowing their office workers to wear casual（休闲的）clothes to work. In the United States, office wear has changed gradually from formal to casual. In the early 1990s, many companies allowed their employees（雇员）to wear casual clothes on Friday. This became known as "casual Friday". But now, it has become an everyday thing.
Why have so many companies started allowing their employees to wear casual clothes? One reason is that it's easier for a company to attract new employees. "A lot of young people don't want to dress up for work," says the
owner of a software company. Another reason is that people seem happier and more effective when they are wearing comfortable clothes. In a study by a company, 85 percent of employers（雇主）said that they believe that casual dress helps improve the relationship between the employers and the employees. Supporters of casual office wear also believe that casual office wear 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."
1. What did David Smith carry to work every day five years ago?
__________________________________________________.
2. Why does he wear pants and a sports shirt now?
__________________________________________________.
3. Nowadays, many companies allow their staff to wear casual clothes every day, don't they?
__________________________________________________.
4. What is the percentage of the employers in favor of the casual clothes?
__________________________________________________.
5. What do you think of wearing casual clothes in companies?
__________________________________________________.
Keys:1.He carried a fresh suit to work.
2. Because he needs to feel comfortable.

首字母填空解题技巧1:
（1）从全局把握文章大意
要填的单词肯定是在一定的语言环境中才能确定，只有把握全局才能有主导方向，才能有助于正确理解空缺词所在的句子，从而缩小词意的选择范围。

（2）从语法上加以把握
一般的空缺词都可以通过其所在的句型结构和句法成分来判断其词性，这样可以缩小词的选择范围。

（3）从行文上确定词的形式
当确定一个单词的词性后可通过其上下文来帮助判断其形式，如动词的第三人称单数形式，过去式、过去分词、现在分词、名词的单复数、代词的各种所有格及单复数，形容词的比较级与最高级等。

（4）通读全文，验证答案。

填完所有单词后，不可孤立地逐个词检查，而必须将所有填入的词代入文章中，复读全文，仔细检查所
填词是否符合文章的情景内容，读起来是否流畅，合乎句法，单词拼写是否有误，单词形式是否正确等，发
现问题及时更正。

通过再读全文，很可能利用语感将个别特别难的空处顺口"读"出来。

解题技巧2
总分关系：总分关系就是构段方式中的一种，是指自然段中有一句话是对全段内容的总结说明，其它几
句分别从不同方面展开。

“总”在段首可称为“总起”，“总”在段位可称为“总结”
转折关系：指句子中后面的分句不是顺着前面分句的意思说下去,而是转了一个弯,跟前面分句的意思相反,或是对前句加以修改补充。

顺承关系：指的是作者在描述一个连续的动作或事情时，常遵循一定的时间、空间或事理逻辑顺序，表
现在句子中则是分句之间有前后相承的关系，或描述连续动作的词语之间具有不可颠倒的前
后次序。

解释说明：作者在文章中提到一个概念时，为了避免读者不理解而在其后做的解释说明。

因果关系：原因与结果之间的联系。

并列关系：表示句子或词语之间具有的一种相互关联，或是同时并举，或是同地进行的关系。

递进关系：递进关系是指能够表示在意义上进一层关系的，且有一定逻辑的词语。
