分析 这篇文章主要向我们介绍了人们上班穿衣风格的不同及变化.与警察和飞行员特殊的职业装不同,以前很多上班族着装有着严格的限制,他们必须穿制服,但随着社会的发展,越来越多的公司开始逐渐接受并允许员工穿休闲装上班,这种变化源于20世纪90年代的美国.研究表明员工穿随意衣服工作效率更高,对公司来讲也能节省开支.但这也会带来一些负面影响,所以限制员工穿着太随意就成了一些公司的规定之一.
解答 36.D 细节理解题 题干问飞行员和警察穿什么上班,从文中Pilots and police officers,for example,don't have to make decisions about their work clothes.They wear uniforms to work every day.可知,飞行员和警察每天穿制服上班,所以选D,
37.B 词义猜测题 划线部分的单词需要联系上下文作答,上句话说一些单位要求穿制服上班,下一句说一些企业的员工们可以穿的比较随意点,所以这段就是在讨论员工们该穿什么或者不应该穿什么,所以dress codes的意思就是选项B即员工被要求穿什么,即衣着规范.
38.C 细节理解题 从文中many companies in the United States allowed employees to wear casual clothes on one day of the week-Friday,Friday became"Casual Friday"or"Dress-down Friday".意思是员工们在周五可以穿随意点的衣服,所以把周五称为"休闲星期五"或"便装星期五",所以说便装星期五的时候,员工可以穿随意点的衣服,所以选C.
39.A 细节理解题 由文中的Some companies also like the casual dress code because they don't need to buy special clothes for work.They can save money this way.可以了解到一些公司喜欢让员工随意穿衣服是因为他们不需要再为他们买特殊的工作服了,用这种方式可以省钱.所以选A.
40.D 细节理解题 由文中的examples of clothes that are usually too casual for the office.列举的一些穿着很随意的例子,说这些是公司禁止的穿着,由此可推出员工随意穿着的弊端就是有些员工穿着太过随意,所以选D.
点评 对于本文,整篇文章的理解可能较容易,但在个别句子理解上可能较难;阅读时,应该根据作者的思路,体会作者的意图,熟练阅读,了解文章大意.做题时,应该尽量在文中找出相近句型,并加以推测.
