Why are uniforms so popular in the United States?Among the arguments for uniforms, one of the first is that in the eyes of most people they look more professional than civilian（百姓的）clothes. People have become conditioned to expect superiorquality from a man who wears a uniform. the television repairman who wears uniform tends to inspire more trust than one who appears in civilian clothes. Faith in the skill of a garage mechanic is increased by a uniform. What easier way is there for a nurse, a policeman, a barber, or a waiter to lose professional identity（身份）than to step out of uniform?Uniforms also have many practical benefits. They save on other clothes. They save on laundry bills. They are tax-deductible（可减税的）. They are often more comfortable and more durable than civilian clothes.Primary among the arguments against uniforms is their lack of variety and the consequent loss of individuality experienced by people who must wear them. Though there are many types of uniforms, the wearer of any particular type is generally stuck with it, without change, until retirement. When people look alike, they tend to think, speak, and act similarly, on the job at least.Uniforms also give rise to some practical problems. Though they are long-lasting, often their initial expense is greater than the cost of civilian clothes. Some uniforms are also expensive to maintain, requiring professional dry cleaning rather than the home laundering possible with many types of civilian clothes.56. It is surprising that Americans who worship variety and individuality _______.A) still judge a man by his clothesB) hold the uniform in such high regardC) enjoy having a professional identityD) will respect an elevator operator as much as a general in uniform57. People are accustomed to think that a man in uniform _______.A) suggests quality workB) discards his social identityC) appears to be more practicalD) looks superior to a person in civilian clothes58. The chief function of a uniform is to _______.A) provide practical benefits to the wearerB) make the wearer catch the pubic eyeC) inspire the wearer’s confidence in himselfD) provide the wearer with a professional identity59. According to the passage, people wearing uniforms _______.A) are usually helpfulB) have little or no individual freedomC) tend to lose their individualityD) enjoy greater popularity60. The best title for this passage would be _______.A) Uniforms and SocietyB) The Importance of Wearing a UniformC) Practical Benefits of Wearing a UniformD) Advantages and Disadvantages of UniformsPassage TwoQuestions61 to 65 are based on the following passage,Electrical engineering plays a great role in navigation aids through electronics and radar loran plays a very important role. Here three fixed transmitters send radio pulses simultaneously. The position of aship or an airplane can be determined by measuring the time difference with which these pulses the ship.Radio range is another example. Five antennas are arranged at the corners and centre of a square and send radio waves in such a way that the pilot at the receiver hears a constant sound if he is on course or the Mores code A or N, depending on whether he is to the right of left of it. The instrument landing system has proven very valuable in guiding an airplane for landing. Here transmitters similar to those in radio rang control, through special equipment on the plane, give the direction as well as the height of the landing plane. Three additional beacons indicate to the plane its position as well as the landing path. The ground control approach is a simpler technique by which the ground knows the exact position of the plane and just notifies the pilot by radio whether or not he is on course.This technique employs two radars, one with a 30-mile range to search the vicinity of the airport and another of shorter range which is used for the actual landing. Then, of course, there is the radio compass which, with a combination of a transmitter at a known place on the ground and a receiver aboard, gives the airplane or ship its direction. In addition to these, special radars are used by airplane to measure their speed or identify moving targets. The Doppler radar is one example. It is based on the fact that the frequency of a radio wave is increased or decreased depending on whether the transmitter and receiver are moving towards of away from each other. The amount of frequency change can then tell the pilot how fast he is moving with respect to the ground, for example.61. Besides radar, loran plays a very important role. Here “loran” means __.A) electrical aidsB) electronicsC) long range navigationD) navigation radio62.Five antennas and radio waves to the pilot who hears __.A) either a constant sound or the Morse codeB) the Morse code A or NC) a constant soundD) neither a constant sound nor the Morse code63. __ give the direction and the height of the landing plane.A) Radio range controllersB) TransmitterC) Similar transmittersD) Special equipment64. One of the radars employed in the ground control technique is to detect __ of the airport.A) the spaceB) the length of the runwaysC) the insideD) the nearby area65. Special radars are used by airplanes to measure their speed or identify moving targets, because thefrequency of a radio wave __.A) increasesB) decreasesC) changesD) movesPassage ThreeQuestions 66 to 70 are based on the following passage:The aircraft fuel system stores fuel and delivers the proper amount of clean fuel at the right pressure to the meet demands of the engine. A well-designed fuel system ensures positive and reliable fuel flow throughout all phases of flight. Which include changes in altitude, violent maneuvers, and sudden acceleration and deceleration. Furthermore the system must reasonably free from tendency to vapor lock. Which can result from changes in ground and in-flight climatic conditions. Such indicators as fuel pressure gages warning signals and tank quantity gages are provided to give continuous indications of how the system is functioning.The simplest type of fuel system is gravity feed. Which is still in use on many low-powered airplanes. The fuel tanks are mounted above the carburetor(汽化器), with gravity causing the fuel to flow from the tanks to the carburetor. A selector valve is provided to stop the fuel flow or to select a particular tank in the system from which to draw fuel. A strainer filters the fuel before it reaches the carburetor. A drain is provided for removing water and sediment trapped at the strainer. A primer furnishes the additional fuel required for engine starting.Airplanes equipped with a high-output engine require a fuel system that supplies fuel to the carburetor at a positive pressure. The basic source for this pressure is an engine-driven fuel pump but auxiliary fuel pumps or booster pumps are required in every pressure feed system for several purposes:(1) To supply fuel pressure for starting the engine;(2) to supply fuel to the primer system;(3) to serve as an emergency pump in case the engine-driven pump fails.76. Airplanes equipped with a high-output engine require a fuel system that __.A) supplies fuel to the carburetor at a negative pressureB) supplies fuel to the carburetor at a positive pressureC) supplies fuel to the carburetor at neutral pressureD) supplies fuel to the carburetor at any pressure67. To ensure continuous indications of how the fuel system is functioning, we require __ provided.A) the condition of the aircraftB) the density of the fuelC) the parameter of the engineD) fuel pressure gages, warning signals and tank quantity gages.68. Uxiliary fuel pumps are required in each pressure feed system __.A) to supply fuel pressure for starting the engineB) to return fuel to the tankC) to deliver fuel to lubricate the engineD) all of the above69. The aircraft fuel system __.A) stores fuel to meet the demands of the right pressureB) needs any amount of clean fuelC) cleans the fuelD) stores fuel and supplies certain amount of fuel to the engine70. According to the passage, the type of fuel system used in the modern large aircraft is __.A) gravity feedB) pressure feedC) pressure and gravity feedD) jettison feed.PartⅢ TranslationDirections: In this part, there are 10 items that you should translate into Chinese.71.
