13．（8分）Americans are prud f their variety and individuality，yet they lve and respect few things mre than a unifrm，whether it is the unifrm f a lift peratr r the unifrm f a five﹣star general.Why are unifrms s ppular in the United States？
Amng the arguments fr unifrms，ne f the first is that in the eyes f mst peple they lk mre prfessinal than civilian（平民的） clthes.Peple have becme cnditined t expect higher quality frm a man wh wears a unifrm.The televisin repairman wh wears a unifrm is likely t inspire mre trust than ne wh appears in civilian clthes.Faith in the skill f a garage mechanic（技术工人） is increased by a unifrm.What easier way is there fr a nurse，a pliceman，a hairdresser，r a waiter t lse prfessinal identity（身份；特性） than t step ut f unifrm？
Unifrms als have many practical gd pints.They are ften mre cmfrtable and mre lasting than civilian clthes.
Primary amng the argument against unifrms is their lack f variety and the lss f individuality experienced by peple wh must wear them.Thugh there are many types f unifrms，the wearer f any particular type is generally stuck with it，withut change，until retirement.When peple lk alike，they are likely t think，speak，and act similarly n the jb at least.
Unifrms als give rise t sme practical prblems.Thugh they are lng﹣lasting，ften their initial expense is greater than the cst f civilian clthes.Sme unifrms are als expensive t maintain，requiring prfessinal dry cleaning rather than the hme laundering（洗涤） pssible with many types f civilian clthes.
（1）What surprises us is that Americans .
A.still judge a man by his clthes
B.think highly f unifrms
C.less prefer wearing civilian clthes
D.respect a lift peratr in unifrm
（2）Peple are likely t think that a man in unifrm .

（3）Thse wh are against unifrms believe that peple wearing unifrms .
A.are usually helpful
B.have little freedm
C.lse persnal character
D.enjy greater ppularity
（4）It can be cncluded frm the passage that .
A.peple generally trust a persn in unifrm
B.peple enjy wearing cmfrtable unifrm
C.the cst f the unifrm is acceptable t peple
D.peple wear unifrms t shw their prfessins
14．（8分）Animal﹣rights activists ften cmplain that cute beasts get mre sympathy than equally deserving ugly nes.If s，ne wuld think a lvely creature like the mink （貂）wuld be easy t prtect.Yet in the Netherlands，mink is the nly animal that can still legally be farmed fr their fur.That is abut t change.On August 28th the gvernment brught frward t this year a ban n mink﹣farming that had been scheduled t take effect in 2024.The timetable was sped up nt because mink had becme mre adrable，but because they can cntract COVID﹣19 and spread it t humans.
Dutch farmers nrmally raised abut 2.5 millin minks a year，making the Netherlands the wrld's furth﹣largest prducer after Denmark，China and Pland.In April，a cuple f minks and the farm hands wh tended them were diagnsed with COVID﹣ 19.Genetic tracing shwed that at least tw wrkers had prbably been infected by mink，rather than the ther way arund.The affected animals were destryed and stricter hygiene rules impsed，but by summer the virus had spread t a third f the cuntry's farms.In June，parliament vted t shut dwn the industry as sn as pssible，and the cabinet agreed.
That was a win fr the Netherlands Party fr the Animals，which has fur seats in the 150﹣member parliament.In 2013，it helped pass the law that gave mink farmers until 2024 t get ut f the business.Nw the party and its supprters bject t the generus cmpensatin （补偿）the gvernment has ffered fr bringing frward the deadline： ＄150 millin，r ＄1 millin per farmer.Sme members f parliament claim that the cmpensatin paid fr destrying the infected minks was higher than the market price fr their fur.
Fur farmers say mdern standards allw minks t be raised humanely，and that they are nt a big reasn fr the spread f the virus.But minks tend t live by themselves instead f living in grups：animal﹣rights advcates say they cannt be raised humanely in small cages.As fr COVID﹣I9，the wrry is that mink culd serve as a medium fr it t attack human immunizatin （免疫）prgrams.The industry's value is mdest （farmers put it at ＄150 millin ﹣ ＄200 millin，activists at under ＄100 millin），and plls shw the public verwhelmingly ppses it. "In a demcratic cuntry，that widespread belief has t translate int a plitical decisin t ban fur farming，" says Esther Ouwehand，leader f the Party fr the Animals.The farmers accept they are shutting dwn.The remaining argument is ver mney.
（1）Accrding t the passage，why did animal ﹣ activists have an unexpected win fr prtecting minks？
A.Because mink's cute appearance wn peple's heart.
B.Because the minks culd act as a hst fr an infectius disease.
C.Because the gvernment carried ut an act earlier than planned.
D.Because the farmers stpped raising minks，cnsidering the great reward.
（2）What des the writer mean by saying "the ther way arund" in paragraph 2？
A.The farm﹣raised minks were brn with the virus.
B.The fanners were infected with COVID﹣I9 by minks.
C.The minks cntracted COVID﹣ 19 frm their caregiver.
D.The affected minks had cntact with the virus in nature.
（3）Esther Ouwehand and his party members supprted the fllwing statements EXCEPT
A.Minks can be easily bred by humans withut bringing any harm t them.
B.It is acceptable t shut dwn mink fur industry because it isn't prfitable.
C.Objectin t fur industry is a main reasn behind this gvernmental decisin.
D.The amunt f mney t make up fr the lss f the mink farmers was t high.
（4）Which f the fllwing might be the best title f the passage？
A.Cuteness Wins
B.An Unexpected Win
C.Winter fr Minks
D.Farmers
