仔细阅读
When Erik Robertson, an account executive at a San Francisco public relations agency, meets with conservative clients, he\’ s always sure to wear a suit and tie. But with his video game client, short sleeves and an open-collar shirt are perfectly fine. His wardrobe choices aren\’ t just based on what the clients will be wearing. Sometimes, he also wants to conceal the tattoos covering his arms and chest because he realizes they could alienate customers. \\
1.What do we know about Erik Robertson’ s wardrobe choices?(D)
A. He tends to dress in suit and tie.
B. He likes to dress casually.
C. Just based on what the clients will be wearing.
D. He also wants to conceal his tattoos.
解析：细节题。根据题干中的Erik Robertson’s wardrobe choices可以定位到第一段中的His wardrobe choices aren’t just based on what the clients will be wearing．Sometimes，he also wants to conceal the tattoos covering his arms and chest because he realizes they could alienate customers． “You have to be smart and not risk offendingcurrent clients or new business prospects，”said Robertson．从这里可以看出他的穿衣选择不仅仅是考虑到客户，还要盖住身上的纹身。所以D项讲他想盖住纹身符合原文意思。A、B项的内容文章没有直接提及，C讲他仅仅依据客户的穿着不够准确。因此。正确答案是D。
2.According to the passage which personal appearance attributes prevent people from being promoted most?(B)
A. Tattoos on the arms.
B. Piercings.
C. Casual dresses in formal occasions.
D. Male employee with long hair.
解析：细节题。根据题干中的personal appearance attributes可以定位到文中的When the online jobs site CareerBuilder asked employers which personal appearance attributes would make them less likely to promote someone，piercings were named mostoften(37％ of respondents)，while visible tattoos ranked third(31％)，从这里可以看出在身上打洞的人相比其它身体艺术最可能成为老板不想提拔的员工。因此，B项符合文意。纹身排在第三，所以A项不对，衣着和留长发没有提到。因此，正确答案是B。
3.What does Barrie Gross’ s words mean?(A)
A. Companies should not refuse talents just because of their body art.
B. Body art does not affect a company’ s reputation.
C. Body art does not matter at all if he is a talent.
D. Employees should get rid of body art.
解析：推断题。根据题干中的Barrie Gross可以定位到文中的“To attract and retain talent，businesses will have to overcome negmive stereotypical views about body art，”said Barrie Gross，a human-resources consultant based in San Francisco．“Theyneed to ask whether it really matters to job performance and the company’s reputation ifsomeone has a nose ring or tattoo．”从这里可以看出他认为为了吸引和保住人才，公司不能对有身体艺术的人有偏见，要考虑身体艺术是否会影响工作表现和破坏公司名声。所以推断出他认为不能仅仅因为身体艺术就拒绝人才。所以A项是可以推断出的。B、C项太绝对了，他不是说身体艺术对工作一点没有影响。D项讲要去掉纹身在他的话中没有体现出来。因此，正确答案是A。
4.Which is not true about Andrew Timming’ s finding?(A)
A. Most managers have prejudice against candidates with body art.
B. Most managers prefer candidates without body art.
C. Most managers think customers would dislike body art.
D. Most managers think body art will affect business.
解析：细节题。根据题干中的Andrew Timming可以定位到文中的In interviewing hiring managers in Scotland，Andrew Timming，a reader in management at the University of St Andrews，found that they harbour mostly negative attitudes toward job candidates with visible tattoos．Even recruiters who were tattooed themselves held such views．But the hiring managers told Timming they wouldn’t reject applicants because oftheir own bias，but rather because they believed customers would disapprove of bodya
