ANSWERS:
1.選B)。從文章的第一句they love and respect few thins more than a uniform他們又無比熱愛和崇尚制服，說明了制服在美國很受歡迎。因此選項B)popular符合原文意思。選項中的professional職業的、practical實用的和ordinary普通的，平常的都不符合第一段的意思。
2.選F)。此處應填形容詞。從more...than civilian clothes可知，此處要填的形容詞意思與civilian相對，說明制服的特點。選項中的形容詞中只有professional職業的和civilian相對的，故F)正確。而pratical實用的和ordinary平常的意思都不能和civilian對應，故排除。
3.選K)。由be conditioned to do sth.習慣于可知，此處應填動詞原形。從前面的look more看起來更...和后面的tend to傾向于可知，這段要說明的是人們的主觀印象，應填入表示期望的單詞，只有K)expect符合原文語氣。選項中get得到與上下文的語氣不符合。
4.選I)。此處應填動詞原形。從原文中人們習慣...從穿制服的人那兒得到優質服務。可知，人們更信任穿制服的人，即制服能使人產生信任感。選項中的動詞原形中只有inspire使產生符合文章。
5.選A)。此處應填名詞。前面兩句表達了人們對穿制服的人更加信任的意思，那么對于garage mechanic汽車修理工來說，人們信任的是它的技術，而不是人品，故選項中只有A)skill符合原文意思。
6.選N)。此處應填動詞。...step out of uniform脫掉制服是對護士、警察等來說是......職業身份的很簡單的方式。脫下制服就是失去了職業身份，由此可以推知此處應填N)lose。
7.選L)。此處應填形容詞，說明制服的其他有點。從下文...節省購買其他衣服的開銷，節省洗衣費用，比便服更舒適也更耐穿可知，制服除了增加信任感還有實際的優點。選項中的pratical實用的和ordinary平常的，很明顯L)pratical符合原文意思。
8.選H)。此處應填名詞。文章手段就說美國人為自己的多元化和個性化感到高傲無比，然而他們又無比熱愛和崇尚制服，其中包含制服使他們失去自己的個性的意思，那么聯系第一段，此處指出的制服的缺點即為失去個性，故選項H)individuality正確。individuality強調與他人特點的區別，而character指的是個人特定的內在本質。
9.選D)。此處應填名詞。前面說制服讓人失去了個性，雖然有很多種制服，但穿上制服的人直至退休都是那件制服，所有是沒有變化的，故此處應填change，故D)正確。
10.選E)。此處應填副詞，修飾動詞act。前面指出...look alike,they tend to...，說明此處填的詞和alike意思相近。選項種副詞有similarly和differently，很明顯，E)similarly與alike意思相近，故選E)。
