Section Ⅱ Reading Comprehension
Part A
Directions：Read the following four texts. Answer the questions after each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. (40 points)
Text1
France，which prides itself as the global innovator of fashion, has decided its fashion industry has lost an absolute right to define physical beauty for women. Its lawmakers gave preliminary approval last week to a law that would make it a crime to employ ultra-thin models on runways. The parliament also agreed to ban websites that “incite excessive thinness” by promoting extreme dieting.
Such measures have a couple of uplifting motives. They suggest beauty should not be defined by looks that end up impinging on health. That’s a start. And the ban on ultra-thin models seems to go beyond protecting models from starving themselves to death –as some have done. It tells the fashion industry that it must take responsibility for the signal it sends women, especially teenage girls, about the social tape-measure they must use to determine their individual worth.
The bans, if fully enforced, would suggest to women (and many men) that they should not let others be arbiters of their beauty. And perhaps faintly, they hint that people should look to intangible qualities like character and intellect rather than dieting their way to size zero or wasp-waist physiques.
The French measures, however, rely too much on severe punishment to change a culture that still regards beauty as skin-deep-and bone-showing. Under the law, using a fashion model that does not meet a government-defined index of body mass could result in a $85,000 fine and six months in prison.
The fashion industry knows it has an inherent problem in focusing on material adornment and idealized body types. In Denmark, the United States, and a few other countries, it is trying to set voluntary standards for models and fashion images that rely more on peer pressure for enforcement.
In contrast to France’s actions, Denmark’s fashion industry agreed last month on rules and sanctions regarding the age, health, and other characteristics of models. The newly revised Danish Fashion Ethical Charter clearly states:”We are aware of and take responsibility for the impact the fashion industry has on body ideals, especially on young people”. The charter’s main tool of enforcement is to deny access for designers and modeling agencies to Copenhagen Fashion Week (CFW), which is run by the Danish Fashion Institute. But in general it relies on a name-and -shame method of compliance.
Relying on ethical persuasion rather than law to address the misuse of body ideals may be the best step. Even better would be to help elevate notions of beauty beyond the material standards of a particular industry.
21. According to the first paragraph，what would happen in France?
[A]Physical beauty would be redefined.
[B]New runways would be constructed.
[C]Websites about dieting would thrive.
[D]The fashion industry would decline.
22. The phrase “impinging on”(Line 2，Para.2) is closest in meaning to
[A]heightening the value of
[B]indicating the state of
[C]losing faith in
[D]doing harm to
23. Which of the following is true of the fashion industry?
[A]The French measures have already failed.
[B]New standards are being set in Denmark.
[C]Models are no longer under peer pressure.
[D]Its inherent problems are getting worse.
24.A designer is most likely to be rejected by CFW for
[A]pursuing perfect physical conditions
[B]caring too much about model’s character.
[C]showing little concern for health factors
[D]setting a high age threshold for models.
25.Which of the following may be the best title of the text?
[A]A Challenge to the Fashion Industry’s Body Ideals
[B]A Dilemma for the Starving models in France
[C]Just Another Round of Struggle for Beauty
[D]The Great Threats to the Fashion Industry
21.答案 A Physical beauty would be redefined
解析：這是一道細節(jié)題，根據(jù)France定位到第一段第一句，主干成分為France has lost an absolute right to define physical beauty。此外第二段第二句They suggest beauty should not be define by looks…故而A physical beauty would be redefined為同義替換，即為正確答案。
22.答案 D doing harm to
解析：此題為詞義題。定位到第二段第二句They suggest beauty should not be defined by looks that end up impinging on health. 根據(jù)end up 可以看出beauty should not be defined by looks 和that end up impinging on health為順承關(guān)系，所以“改變?nèi)藗儗γ啦粌H僅是外表的定義”可以結(jié)束對健康的危害。故而可以推知doing harm to是正確答案。
23.答案 B New Standards are being set in Denmark
解析：此題是正誤判斷題。根據(jù)第五段第二句話 In Denmark,…it is trying to set voluntary standards for models and fashion…可知B選項 New standards are being set in Denmark是其同義替換。
24.答案 C showing little concern for health factors
解析：細節(jié)題。一個設(shè)計師很可能因為什么原因被CFW拒絕，根據(jù)關(guān)鍵詞可回到文中定位至倒數(shù)第二段，首句說丹麥的時尚界就有關(guān)模特的年齡，健康及其他特性的內(nèi)容達成一致意見，切一項新法案也明確規(guī)定，他們已經(jīng)意識到時尚界對于人們尤其是年輕人的身體健康所帶來的影響，并且該對此負責，接著下一句就說，這一法規(guī)的執(zhí)行方式就是拒絕一些設(shè)計師，因為可以推斷設(shè)計師很可能因為不考慮身體健康因素而被CFW拒絕。
25.答案 D A challenge to the Fashion Industry’s Body Ideals
解析：主旨題。本文從首段就開始闡述法國的觀點，即時尚界已經(jīng)失去了定義女性身體之美的權(quán)利，且議會也禁止網(wǎng)站通過宣傳過度節(jié)食來強調(diào)過度消瘦。二段繼續(xù)說明美麗不能只看外表更不能以犧牲健康為代價。三段說女性不該讓他人來評判自己的美麗。以及后面的段落中也一直在不斷說明一點，即健康很重要，不能只看外表。所以文章最佳標題應該是D，對時尚界完美身材的質(zhì)疑。
Text 2
For the first time in history more people live in towns than in the country. In Britain this has had a curious result. While polls show Britons rate”the countryside”alongside the royal family, Shakespeare and the National Health Serivce (NHS) as what makes them proudest of their country, this has limited political support.
A century ago Octavia Hill Launched the National Trust not to rescue stylish houses but to save“the beauty of natural places for everyone forever”.It was specifically to provide city dwellers with spaces for leisure where they could experience“a refreshing air .”Hill’s pressure later led to creation of national parks and green belts. They don’t make countryside any more，and every year concrete consumes more of it . It needs constant guardianship.
At the next election none of the big parties seem likely to endorse this sentiment. The conservatives’planning reform explicitly gives rural development priority over conservation， even authorising“off-plan”building where local people might object. The concept of sustainable development has been defined as profitable. Labour likewise wants to discontinue local planning where councils oppose development. The Liberal Democrats are silent. Only Ukip, sensing its chance,has sided with those pleading for a more considered approach to using green land. Its Campaign to Protect Rural England struck terror into many local conservative parties.
The sensible place to build new houses，factories and offices is where people are，in cities and towns where infrastructure is in place. The London agents Stirling Ackroyd recently identified enough sites for half a million houses in the London area alone，with no intrusion on green belt. What is true of London is even truer of the provinces.
The idea that”housing crisis”equals“concreted meadows” is pure lobby talk. The issue is not the need for more houses but, as always，where to put them. Under lobby pressure，George Osborne favours rural new-build against urban renovation and renewal. He favours out-of-town shopping sites against high streets . This is not a free market but a biased one. Rural towns and villages have grown and will always grow. They do so best where building sticks to their edges and respects their character. We do not ruin urban Development should be planned, not let rip. After the Netherlands, Britain is Europe’s most crowed country. Half a century of town and country planning has enabled it to retain an enviable rural coherence, while still permitting low-density urban living. There is no doubt of the alternative --- the corrupted landscapes of southern Portugal, Spain or Ireland. Avoiding this rather than promoting it should unite the left and right of the political spectrum.
26.Britain’s public sentiment about the countryside
[A]has brought much benefit to the NHS.
[B]didn’t start till the Shakespearean age.
[C]is fully backed by the royal family.
[D]is not well reflected in politics.
27. According to Paragraph 2，the achievements of the National Trust are now being
[A]gradually destroyed.
[B]effectively reinforced.
[C]properly protected.
[D]largely overshadowed.
28.which of the following can be inferred from Paragraph 3?
[A]Ukip may gain from its support for rural conservation.
[B]the Conservatives may abandon ”off -plan“ building.
[C]the Liberal Democrats are losing political influence.
[D]labour is under attack for opposing development.
29.the author holds that George Osborne’s preference
[A]reveals a strong prejudice against urban areas.
[B]shows his disregard for the character of rural areas.
[C]stresses the necessity of easing the housing crisis.
[D]highlights his firm stand against lobby pressure.
30.In the last paragraph，the author shows his appreciation of
[A]the size of population in Britain.
[Bthe enviable urban lifestyle in Britain.
[C]the town-and-country planning in Britain.
[D]the political life in today is Britain.
26.答案 D is not well reflected in politics
解析：細節(jié)題。精讀題干，劃出關(guān)鍵詞。根據(jù)題干回到原文精確定位到首段最后一句，該句中的polls民意調(diào)查對應題干中的public sentiment，定位答案處為“this has limited political support”，意思為這在政治支持方面是有限的。與D選項“在政治上沒有得到很好的反響”為同義替換。
27.答案 D largely overshadowed
解析：細節(jié)題。根據(jù)題干，題干中出現(xiàn)大寫the National Trust，定位到第二段首句the National Trust該句。二段首句只是對Hill的該項目做介紹，需向后看影響。往下可以讀到Hill’s pressure這句，寫到“Hill的項目創(chuàng)造出國家公園和綠地。他們不再制造鄉(xiāng)村了，而且每年鋼筋混凝土消耗的鄉(xiāng)村越來越多。鄉(xiāng)村需要持久的保護”。對應選項，該項目的成就很大程度上被奪取了光輝。
28.答案 A Ukip may gain from its support for rural conservation
解析：推斷題。題干問的是從第三段能推出什么，考察的是相應段落的段落中心。觀察選項不難發(fā)現(xiàn)，選項中都是大寫的Ukip，The Conservatives，The Liberal Democrats，Labour。可根據(jù)選項中的大寫回段落中尋找，發(fā)現(xiàn)Ukip所在的定位句為Only的倒裝強調(diào)句(倒裝強調(diào)句往往為答案所在處)。該句子意思是：只有Ukip意識到其機會，并支持這些人。和選項A對應一下，Ukip可能能從其對農(nóng)村保護的支持中獲得好處，是同義替換。
29.答案B Shows his disregard for the character of rural areas
解析：細節(jié)題 問的是作者對于奧斯本的偏好(觀點)的具體看法。根據(jù)關(guān)鍵詞奧斯本定位至第五段，因為問的是作者對于奧斯本觀點的看法，所以只需要看在奧斯本的觀點之后作者的表達內(nèi)容，第五段倒數(shù)兩句話就是作者表達自己觀點的地方，即“我們沒有破壞城市中受到保護的地方”，“你們?yōu)槭裁匆茐泥l(xiāng)村的呢?”這就說明奧斯本一方的觀點是要破壞鄉(xiāng)村環(huán)境。所以可得出答案是奧斯本想法表明了他對于鄉(xiāng)村人們的忽視。
30.答案C the-town-and-country planning in Britain
解析：根據(jù)題干定位到最后一段，問的是作者欣賞贊同什么，作者的觀點即是文章末段的段落中心，可定位到末段末句。末句指出，避免this會將左右黨派聯(lián)系起來，this代詞指代指代上句中所提到的內(nèi)容。Should即作者贊同的地方，也就是作者贊同的是城鄉(xiāng)結(jié)合。
TEXT3
“There is on and only one social responsibility of business,” wrote Milton Friedman, a Nobel prize-winning economist, “That is, to use its resources and engage in activities designed to increase its profits.” But even if you accept Friedman’s premise and regard corporate social responsibility (CSR) policies as a waste of shareholders’ money, things may not be absolutely clear-cut. New research suggests that CSR may create monetary value for companies-at least when they are prosecuted for corruption.
The largest firms in America and Britain together spend more than $15 billion a year on CSR, according to an estimate by EPG, a consulting firm. This could add value to their businesses in three ways. First, consumers may take CSR spending as a “signal” that a company’s products are of high quality. Second, customers may be willing to buy a company’s products as an indirect way to donate to the good causes it helps. And third, through a more diffuse “halo effect,” whereby its good deeds earn it greater consideration from consumers and others.
Previous studies on CSR have had trouble differentiating these effects because consumers can be affected by all three. Al recent study attempts to separate them by looking at bribery prosecutions under America’s Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA). It argues that since prosecutors do not consume a company’s products as part of their investigations, they could be influenced only by the halo effect.
The study found that, among prosecuted firms, those with the most comprehensive CSR programmes tended to get more lenient penalties,. Their analysis ruled out the possibility that it was firm’s political influence, rather than their CSR stand, that accounted for the leniency: Companies that contributed more to political campaigns did not receive lower fines.
In all, the study concludes that whereas prosecutors should only evaluate a case based on its merits, they do seem to be influenced by a company’s record in CSR. “We estimate that either eliminating a substantial labour-rights concern , such as child labour, or increasing corporate giving byabout20% results in fines that generally are 40% lower than the typical punishment for bribing foreign officials”, says one researcher.
Researchers admit that their study does not answer the question of how much businesses ought to spend on CSR. Nor does it reveal how much companies are banking on the halo effect, rather than the other possible benefits, when they decide their do-gooding policies. But at least they have demonstrated that when companies get into trouble with the law, evidence of good character can win them less costly punishment.
31.The author views Milton Friedman’s statement about CSR with
[A]tolerance.
[B]skepticism.
[C]uncertainty.
[D]approval.
32.According to Paragraph 2,CSR helps a company by
[A]winning trust from consumers.
[B]guarding it against malpractices.
[C]protecting it from being defamed.
[D]raising the quality of its products.
33. The expression “more lenient ”(line 2,para.4)is closest in meaning to
[A]more effective
[B]less controversial
[C]less severe
[D]more lasting
34. When prosecutors evaluate a case, a company’s CSR regard
[A]has an impact on their decision
[B]comes across as reliable evidence
[C]increases the chance of being penalized
[D]constitutes part of the investigation
35.Which of the following is true of CSR, according to the last paragraph?
[A] Its negative effects on businesses are often overlooked.
[B] The necessary amount of companies’ spending on it is unknown.
[C] Companies’ financial capacity for it has been overestimated.
[D] It has brought much benefit to the banking industry.
31.答案 B Skepticism
解析：作者觀點態(tài)度題。題干問的是作者對有關(guān)CSR方面Milton Friedman的說法是什么態(tài)度。根據(jù)大寫Milton Friedman這個人定位到定位到首段首句。注意題干問的是作者的看法，因此定位到后一句but轉(zhuǎn)折處。轉(zhuǎn)折處的主題句式“things may not absolutely clear-cut”，作者持的是否定態(tài)度，選擇答案B。C選項是作者態(tài)度不明確，不能選擇。
32.答案 A winning trust from consumers
解析：根據(jù)題干找到第二段.根據(jù)第二段內(nèi)容,CSR could add value to their business in three ways. 從而定位下面三點。First后面出現(xiàn)了high quality，但是它是在從句中，從句修飾"signal",而本句謂語動詞是take，與D中 raising 并不是同義詞，故排除。Second,和third 都與消費者購買心態(tài)有關(guān)，和A選項 winning trust from consumers 相對應。而B，C選項的malpractices和defamed在原文中并未出現(xiàn)，且沒有同義詞，故排除。
33.答案 C less severe
解析：根據(jù)題干找到第四段對應處�？梢婎}干的 more lenient 是作為修飾 penalties(懲罰) 的，故推測本句在討論 CSR 和 penalties 有什么聯(lián)系。而本段與懲罰相關(guān)的詞只有最后一個詞 fines(罰金)，修飾它的形容詞是lower, 故可推測 more lenient 與降低懲罰有關(guān)，只有C選項滿足。
34.答案A has an impact on their decision
解析：題干中問的是 CSR record 與 prosecutors evaluate a case 的關(guān)系，根據(jù)題干內(nèi)容到對應點：第五段第一句。本句說，...they do seem to be influenced by a company's recore in CSR.這里的 be influenced 與A選項 has an impact 對應，故選A. 而B選項中的 reliable evidence, C 選項中的 the chance of being penalized 在原文中沒有體現(xiàn)。D選項中的 investigation 與題干中的 When prosecutors evaluate a case 明顯對應不上，故不予考慮。
35.答案B The necessary amount of companies’ spending on it is unknown
解析：該題是一道判斷題，題干問的是有關(guān)CSR哪個是對的。先根據(jù)CSR回到最后一段，定位到末段首句。首句提到“研究人員承認到其研究沒有回答如下問題：公司應該在CSR方面花費多少錢”。選項B的意思是公司在其方面的花費是未知的，屬于原文的同義替換。
Text4
There will eventually come a day when The New York Times ceases to publish stories on newsprint. Exactly when that day will be is a matter of debate. “Sometime in the future”, the paper’s publisher said back in 2010.
Nostalgia for ink on paper and the rustle of pages aside, there’s plenty of incentive to ditch print. The infrastructure required to make a physical newspaper — printing presses, delivery trucks — isn’t just expensive; it’s excessive at a time when online-only competitors don’t have the same set of financial constraints. Readers are migrating away from print away. And though print ad sales still dwarf their online and mobile counterparts, revenue from print is still declining.
Overhead may be high and circulation lower, but rushing to eliminate its print edition would be a mistake, says BuzzFeed CEO Joah Peretti.
Peretti says the Times shouldn’t waste time getting out of the print business, but only if they go about doing it the right way.” Fighting out a way to accelerate that transition would make sense of them,” he said, “but if you discontinue it, you’re going to have your most loyal customers really upset with you.”
Sometimes that’s worth making a change anyway. Peretti gives the example seen as a blunder,” he said. The move turned out to be foresighted. And if Peretti would raise pricesand make it into more of a legacy product.”
The most loyal customers would still get the product they favor, the idea goes, and they’d feel like they were helping sustain the quality of something they believe in. “So if you’re overpaying for print, you could feel like you were helping,”Peretti said. “Then increase it at a higher rate each year and essentially try to generate additional revenue.”In other words, if you’re going to make a print product ,make it for the people who are already obsessed with it. Which way be what the Times is doing already. Getting the print edition seven days a week costs $500 a year — more than twice as much as a digital-only subscription.
“It’s a really hard thing to do and it’s a tremendous luxury that BuzzFeed doesn’t have a legacy business,”Peretti remarked. “But we’re going to have questions like that where we have things we’re doing that don’t make sense when the market changes and the world changes. In those situations, it’s better to be more aggressive than less aggressive. ”
36.The New York Times is considering ending its print edition partly due to
[A]the pressure from its investors.
[B]the complaints from its readers.
[C]the high cost of operation.
[D]the increasing online ad sales.
37. Peretti suggests that, in face of the present situation, the Times should
[A]make strategic adjustments
[B]end the print edition for good.
[C]seek new sources of readership.
[D]aim for efficient management.
38. It can be inferred form Paragraphs 5 and 6 that a “legacy product”
[A]will have the cost of printing reduced.
[B]is meant for the most loyal customers.
[C]helps restore the glory of former times.
[D]expands the popularity of the paper.
39. Peretti believes that, in a changing world,
[A]traditional luxuries can stay unaffected.
[B]aggressiveness better meets challenges.
[C]cautiousness facilitates problem-solving.
[D]legacy businesses are becoming outdated.
40. Which of the following would be the best title of the text?
[A]Make Your Print Newspaper a Luxury Good.
[B]Keep Your Newspapers Forever in Fashion.
[C]Cherish the Newspaper Still in Your Hand.
[D]Shift to Online Newspapers All at Once.
36.答案 C the high cost of operation
解析：因果細節(jié)題，問的是紐約時報考慮停止紙質(zhì)版新聞印刷出版的原因是什么。文章首段首句即是此內(nèi)容的同義表達，二段解釋具體原因，二段二句內(nèi)容 The infrastructure isn't just expensive; it's excessive at a time when online-only competitors don't have the same set of financial constraints.意思是維持紙質(zhì)印刷的基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施建設(shè)不僅僅是貴，是相當貴， 而他們的競爭對手卻沒有這樣的經(jīng)濟上的限制。
37.答案 A make strategic adjustments
解析：細節(jié)題，問的是面對目前的形勢，Peretti建議時代雜志怎么做，根據(jù)關(guān)鍵詞Peretti回文定位至第四段，首句內(nèi)容是Peretti說時代雜志不該浪費時間去想著如何停止紙質(zhì)印刷，而應該找到一種正確的方法去解決這件事。接著二句往后在具體說明該如何正確解決目前的問題。由此推出答案是A 做出策略上的調(diào)整。
38.答案 B is meant for the most loyal customers
解析：推斷題與詞匯題的結(jié)合，要根據(jù)上下文來做出選擇。首先定位在第五段最后一句：I would raise prices and make it into more of a legacy product. 不僅要提高價格還要將它變?yōu)橐环N可以傳承的產(chǎn)物。單單這一句不足以做出選擇。需要繼續(xù)往下看在第六段中有沒有對于這個詞的解釋之類的。第六段開頭提到了他認為most consumer 依舊堅持去相信他們認為好的東西，喜歡的，相信的東西。如果可以每年增加一些比例，那么依舊是可以創(chuàng)收的。長篇大段的敘述可以讓大家明白這個詞一定跟consumer有關(guān)。最為關(guān)鍵的是：緊接著出現(xiàn)了 inother world， 重述上文，不過卻簡潔的總結(jié)了前文。如果我們要做這些print product， 那就選擇那些已經(jīng)癡迷于他們的人吧。(那么對于他們來講就是一件可以傳承的東西了，以前喜歡，會依舊喜歡下去)。所以這句為做題的關(guān)鍵，對應同義替換，選擇B。
A選項中的降低成本沒有在文中相應位置涉及到。 C重建以往的關(guān)榮，與消費者關(guān)系不大 D擴大受歡迎程度，范圍過大。
39.答案B aggressiveness better meets challenges
解析：觀點態(tài)度題。偏細節(jié)題。定位Peretti在文中的觀點，首次出現(xiàn)在第三段 overhead…but rushing to eliminate its print edition would be a mistake.并且一直貫穿于下文。我們首先從選項來看。A 中…can stay unaffected 過于絕對，不選。D 選項中l(wèi)egacy business 不是文中的討論話題，所以可以直接排除。而C選項中謹慎可以促進問題的解決，在perreti的觀點中根本沒有體現(xiàn)，相反他建議要有所改變，并且要找對方式，言下之意就是大膽去面對挑戰(zhàn)。所以最終確定是B。
40.答案A Make Your Print Newspaper a Luxury Good
解析：主旨題。出現(xiàn)在最后一道題目中，全文共有7段，根據(jù)上面的細節(jié)題目，大致可以確定本文的中心詞為“print newspaper”B，C 兩個選項中的newspaper 都屬于范圍過大，是主旨題的典型錯誤選項，而D選項中出現(xiàn)的online newspaper 只是文中print newspaper時提到的一個面臨的 一個挑戰(zhàn)，不足以引領(lǐng)全文，并且all at once, 是“立刻，馬上”之意，與原文的觀點也有出入，最終確定選A。

In the following article, some sentences have been removed. For Questions 41-45, choose the most suitable one from the list A-G to fit into each of the numbered blank. There are two extra choices, which do not fit in any of the gaps. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. (10 points)
[A]Create a new image of yourself
[B]Decide if the time is right
[C]Have confidence in yourself
[D]Understand the context
[E]Work with professionals
[F]Know your goals
[G]Make it efficient
No matter how formal or informa the work environment，the way you present yourself has an impact. This is especially true in first impressions. According to research from Princeton University，people assess your competence，trustworthiness，and likeability in just a tenth of a second，solely based on the way you look.
The difference between today’s workplace and the“dress for success” era is that the range of options is so much broader. Norms have evolved and fragmented. In some settings, red sneakers or dress T-shirts can convey status; in others not so much. Plus, whatever image we present is magnified by social-media services like LinkedIn. Chances are, your headshots are seen much more often now than a decade or two ago. Millennials, it seems, face the paradox of being the least formal generation yet the most conscious of style and personal branding. It can be confusing.
So how do we navigate this? How do we know when to invest in an upgrade? And what’s the best way to pull off one that enhance our goals? Here are some tips;
41.___________________________________________
As an executive coach, I’ve seen image upgrades be particularly helpful during transitions---when looking for a new job, stepping into a new or more public role, or changing work environments. If you’re in a period of change or just feeling stuck and in a rut, now may be a good time. If you’re not sure, ask for honest feedback from trusted friends, colleagues and professionals. Look for cues about how others perceive you.Maybe there’s no need for an upgrade and that’s OK.
42.___________________________________________
Get clear on what impact you’re hoping to have. Are you looking to refresh your image or pivot it? For one person, the goal may be to be taken more seriously and enhance their professional image. For another, it may be to be perceived as more approachable, or more modern and stylish. For someone moving from finance to advertising, maybe they want to look more“SoHo”.(It’s OK to use characterizations like that.)
43.___________________________________________
Look at your work environment like an anthropologist. What are the norms of your environment? What converys status? Who are your most important audiences? How do the people you respect and look up to present themselves? The better you understand the cultural context, the more control you can have over your impact.
44.___________________________________________
Enlist the support of professionals and share with them your goals and context. Hire a personal stylist, or use the free styling service of a store like J.Crew. Try a hair stylist instead of a barber. Work with a professional photographer instead of your spouse or friend. It’s not as expensive as you might think.
45.___________________________________________
The point of a style upgrade isn’t to become more vain or to spend more time passing over what to wear. Instead, use it as an opportunity to reduce decision fatigue. Pick a standard work uniform or a few go-to options. Buy all your clothesonce with a stylist instead of shopping alone, one article of clothing at a time.
41.B Decide if the time is right
解析：此段第一句話主句里面說“在過渡的階段提升自我形象尤其有用”。第二句和第三、四句分別展開說明，第二句表明：如果你處在變動的時期或者感覺需要變動，那么可能這可能是一個好的時機。 相反，第三、四句話表示：如果不確定的話，就需要得到別人的反饋了。也許無需提升。故整段的意思是說要先確定是否現(xiàn)在是提升自我形象的正確時機。故答案為C選項。
42.F Know your goals
解析：此段中心句即第一句話，標明“要清楚你想要的結(jié)果或影響”。其實就是你想要的目標。緊接著開始解釋，提到比如，你是否想要更新你的形象?那么，對于一個人來講，這個目標可能是要被認真對待或者要加強專業(yè)的形象。對于其他人，這個目標可能是要被看作可以觸摸到的，或者是現(xiàn)代的，或者是時尚的。對于那些要從金融轉(zhuǎn)到廣告的，他們可能得看起來更“SOHO”.所以，整段都在講目標。而選項F中的”goal”形成復現(xiàn)。故為答案。
43.D Understand the context
解析：復現(xiàn)原則，文章多次重復environment, understand the context 就是要理解你的工作處境。
44.E Work with professionals
解析：復現(xiàn)原則，文章多次重復professional, work with,就是要與專業(yè)人士一起工作。
45.G Make it efficient
解析：此段第二句句首出現(xiàn)instead, 故為轉(zhuǎn)折句。所以從此句獲得中心內(nèi)容。該句講的是“最好是將形象升級用做減少做決定的機會。”緊接著提到“選取一套標準的工作服或幾個其他的選擇。把衣服一下子都買了，而不是一個人購買，或者一次只買一件”。這些提到的都是要有效率。故選G。

Mental health is our birthright. (46) We don’t have to learn how to be mentally healthy ;it it built into us that our bodies know how to heal a cut or mend a broken bone. Mental health can’t be learned, only reawakened. It is like the immune system of the body, which under stress or through lack of nutrition or exercise can be weakened, but which never leaves us. When we don't understand the value of mental health and we don't know how to gain access to it, mental health will remain hidden from us. (47) Our mental health doesn’t really go anywhere; like the sun behind a cloud, it can be temporarily hidden from view, but it is fully capable of being restored in an instant.
Mental health is the seed that contains self-esteem - confidence in ourselves and an ability to trust in our common sense. It allows us to have perspective on our lives - the ability to not take ourselves too seriously, to laugh at ourselves, to see the bigger picture, and to see that things will work out. It’s a form of innate or unlearned optimism. (48) Mental health allows us to view others with sympathy if they are having troubles ,with kindness if they are in pain,and with unconditional love no matter who they are. Mental health is the source of creativity for soving problems, resolving conflict, making our surroundings more beautiful,managing our home life, or coming up with a creative business idea or invention to make our lives easier. It gives us patience for ourselves and toward others as well as patience while driving,catching a fish,working on our car,or raising a child. It allows us to see the beauty that surrounds us each moment in nature,in culture,in the flow of our daily lives.
(49)Although mental health is the cure-all for living our lives,it is perfectly ordinary as you will see that it has been there to direct you through all your difficult decisions.It has been available even in the most mundane of life situations to show you right from wrong,good from bad,friend from foe.Mental health has commonly been called conscience,instinct,wisdom,common sense,or the inner voice.We think of it simply as a healthy and helpful flow of intelligent thought .(50) As you will come to see ,knowing that mental heath is always available and knowing to trust it allow us to slow down to the moment and live life happily.
46.We don’t have to learn how to be mentally healthy; it is built into us in the same way that our bodies know how to heal a cut or mend a broken bone.
[句子結(jié)構(gòu)]分號連接的兩個并列句，第一個并列句主干是 We don’t have to learn ，how引導賓語從句做learn的賓語，第二個并列句主干是it is built into us in the same way，that引導定語從句修飾先行詞way，that定語從句中主干是our bodies know，how引導賓語從句做know的賓語。
[參考譯文]我們無需刻意去了解學習才能讓心理更健康，它正如我們的身體知道怎樣讓傷口愈合和修復骨折一樣，是根植于我們體內(nèi)的/是我們與生俱來的能力。
47.Our mental health doesn’t really go anywhere; like the sun behind a cloud, it can be temporarily hidden from view, but it is fully capable of being restored in an instant.
[句子結(jié)構(gòu)]分號連接的兩個并列句, 第一個并列句主謂結(jié)構(gòu)，很簡單，第二個并列句中，like the sun behind a cloud是狀語，but 連接兩個并列分句，包括短語be hidden from 和be capable of. 涉及被動語態(tài)的翻譯方法。
[參考譯文]我們的心理健康并不是真的消失不見，就像云朵背后的太陽，它也許暫時被遮擋，但是它也可以在瞬間重煥光芒。
48.Mental health allows us to view others with sympathy if they are having troubles, with kindness if they are in pain, and with unconditional love no matter who they are.
[句子結(jié)構(gòu)]句子主干是 Mental health allows us to view others， 三個并列with 引導的介詞短語做狀語，前兩個with引導的狀語中各包含一個if引導的條件狀從，最后一個with狀語中包含一個no matter 引導的讓步狀語。
[參考譯文] 心理健康使我們在他人遇到麻煩時給予同情，在他人痛苦時心存善意，而且無論對方是誰都會給予無條件的關(guān)愛。
49.[參考譯文]盡管擁有健康的心智是我們生活中的萬能藥，但它并不稀奇，你會發(fā)現(xiàn)在你難以做決定時，它一直在指引著你。
[解析]本題有一個由although引導的讓步狀語從句，as引導的時間狀語從句，以及that引導的賓語從句構(gòu)成。此處“mental health”若是翻譯成心理健康與下文連接，則不符合中文表達習慣，又因mental本身與智力相關(guān)，所以將其翻譯成“健康的心智”;此外“perfectly ordinary”可以正譯，譯為“非常普遍”，本譯文采取正話反說的方式，譯為“并不稀奇”。再次，“difficult decisions”若翻譯為困難的決定，不符合中文的表達方式，所以將decision，名詞譯為動詞“做決定”。
50.As you will come to see, knowing that mental health is always available and knowing to trust it allow us slow down to the moment and live life happily.
[參考譯文]你會慢慢理解到，健康的心智會一直存在，堅信這一點，此刻我們就可以放慢生活節(jié)奏，快樂的生活。
[解析]本題由as 引導的時間狀語從句，that引導的賓語從句組成，并且考察代詞“it”。“see”在此時了解而不是看到的意思，意思和knowing一致，隨意合并翻譯;“available”本意“可得到的”，句中意譯為“一直存在”。
