You are going to read a list of headings and a text about preparing in the academic community. Choose the most suitable heading from the list A-F for each numbered paragraph (41-45). The first and last paragraphs of the text are not numbered. There is one extra heading which you do not need to use. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. (10 points)

[A] Analyzing your own taste

[B] Being cautious when experimenting

[C] Finding a model to follow

[D] Getting the final look absolutely right

[E] Learning to be realistic

[F] Making regular conscious choices

When we meet people for the first time, we often make decisions about them based entirely on how they look. And, of course its something that works both ways, for we too are being judged on our appearance. When we look good, we feel good, which in turn leads to a more confident and self-assured manner. People then pick up on this confidence and respond positively towards us. Undoubtedly, its whats inside thats important, but sometimes we can send out the wrong signals simply by wearing inappropriate clothing or not spending enough time thinking about how others see us.

41___________

For example, people often make the mistake of trying to look like someone else theyve seen in a magazine, but this is usually a disaster as we all have our own characteristics. Stand in front of a full-length mirror and be honest with yourself about what you see. There is no need to dwell on your faultswe all have good points and bad pointsbut think instead about the best way to emphasize the good ones.

42___________

When selecting your clothes each day, think about who youre likely to meet, where youre going to be spending most of your time and what tasks you are likely to perform. Clearly, some outfits will be more appropriate to different sorts of activity and this will dictate your choice to an extent. However, theres no need to abandon your individual taste completely. After all, if you dress to please somebody elses idea of what looks good, you may end up feeling uncomfortable and not quite yourself.

43___________

But to know your own mind, you have to get to know yourself. What do you truly feel good in? There are probably a few favourite items that you wear a lotmost people wear 20 per cent of their wardrobe 80 per cent of the time. Look at these clothes and ask yourself what they have in common. Are they neat and tidy, loose and flowing? Then look at the things hanging in your wardrobe that you dont wear and ask yourself why. Go through a few magazines and catalogues and mark the things that catch your eye. Is there a common theme?

44___________

Some colors bring your natural colouring to life and others can give us a washed-out appearance. Try out new colours by all means, but remember that dressing in bright colours when you really like subtle neutral tones, or vice versa, will make you feel self-conscious and uncomfortable. You know deep down where your own taste boundaries lie. And although its good to challenge those sometimes with new combinations or shades, take care not to go too far all at once.

45___________

So, youve chosen an outfit that matches your style, your personality, your shape and your colouring. But does it fit? If something is too tight or too loose, you wont achieve the desired effect, and no matter what other qualities it has, it wont improve your appearance or your confidence. Sometimes, we buy things without thinking. Some people who dislike shopping grab the first thing they see, or prefer to use mail-order or the Internet. In all cases, if it doesnt fit perfectly, dont buy it, because the finer details are just as important as the overall style.

Reappraising your image isnt selfish because everyone who comes into contact with you will benefit. Youll look better and youll feel a better person all round. And if in doubt, you only need to read Professor Albert Mehrabians book Silent Messages to remind yourself how important outward appearances are. His research showed that the impact we make on each other depend 55 per cent on how we look and behave, 38 per cent on how we speak and only 7 per cent on what we actually say. So, whatever stage you are at in your life, whatever role you play, isnt it time you made the most of yourself?

答案

41.E 42.F 43.A 44.B 45.D

总体分析

本文是一篇关于个人着装的评论。作者从实际可行性、个人品位、有意识选择等几方面论述了个人怎样才能做到穿着大方得体。

第一段:作者指出外表的重要性,它是初次见面对彼此作出评价的依据,会决定人们的自信心,如果不注意的话可能会传递出错误的信号。

第二段至第五段:作者就如何做到着装得体提出了一些建议,同时也对人们在选择服装时存在的一些问题进行分析论述。

第六段:总结全文,指出重新评价个人形象的重要性。

试题精解

(一)浏览全文,把握文章大意。通过对该文章首尾两段的阅读,可以得知这篇文章主要论述的是:从外表塑造个人形象的问题。

(二)浏览选项,确定选项的主要内容和意思

[A] 分析个人品味

[B] 小心翼翼的尝试

[C] 找一个模仿的榜样

[D] 让最终的形象完美无缺

[E] 学会现实

[F] 做定期的有意识的选择

(三)阅读所考段落

41、在本段中,作者举例说明,我们每个人都有自己的个性特点,所以没有必要去盲目地模仿他人。而且每个人都各有所长,各有所短,人不应该停留在自己的缺点上,而应该充分展示自己的优点。从这番评述中可以看出,作者建议我们对自身保持一个客观的态度,也就是现实的实际的态度,而不要盲从。因此[E]项正确。[C]项正是该段所反驳的观点。

42、在英语文章中,概括段落大意的句子一半多位于句首或句尾。本段的第一句话提到,每天选择衣服时,都要考虑一下自己要和谁见面,出现在何种场合,面对的是什么样的任务。这也就说明:选择衣服不是一件马马虎虎,随意而为之的事情,而需要非常仔细小心,深思熟虑。选项[F]中,作者建议我们,做有规律的有意识的选择,正是说的这个意思。其中regular 和each day相照应。

43、在本段的开始作者提出一种观点,即要想了解你自己的想法,必须先认识你自己。作者大段的论述后,概括起来就是:你最喜欢什么样的衣服,最不喜欢什么样的衣服,即个人喜好问题,而事实上,所谓的个人喜好就是个人品位。因此[A]项正确。

44、上一段作者就个人品位问题作了一番论述,并关于如何发现个人品位给了一些建议。在个人品位已经确定的基础上,接下来的事情就是挑选和尝试了。与上面提到段落不同的是本段的段落主旨句不在句首而在句尾。作者以颜色为例告诉读者,虽然尝试一些新的东西是件不错的事情,但应该注意不要走极端。细心的考生在本段可以发现一个同义词组try out 和challenge,前者是尝试的意思,一般指尝试某种新事物,后者为挑战的意思,也可用于指对未知的事物做出的尝试。而且这两个词与选项[B]中的experiment意思相近,experiment一种解释为试验,另一种解释就是尝试。在本段最后一句话中,还出现了take care 一词,与[B]项中的cautious 相呼应。因此[B]项为最佳答案。

45、本段段首词so起到了承上启下的作用。前面几段中作者提到了如何挑选衣服,如何确定自己的品位,如何谨慎地去尝试。在这一段落的开始,作者指出:现在你已经挑选了从个性、外形、颜色上来说都很适合你的衣服,在此考生需要注意的是之后提出的问题But does it fit?(它适合你吗)。接着作者指出:事实上,如果一件衣服不是完全合适的话,就不应该购买。然后再看文章的最后一段,作者开始泛泛谈个人形象以及再评价它的重要性,已经不再具体谈如何着装,由此可以推知,45段内容应该是关于如何着装,如何购买服装的最后建议,因此可确定[D]项为最佳答案。

全文翻译

当我们第一次和别人相遇时,我们常常完全凭借他们的外表对其做出论断。当然,这是一件双方面的事情,因为别人也通过我们的外表对我们做出评价。我们看起来好的时候,感觉也会良好,并将带来更为自信和自我肯定的行为举止。人们注意到这种自信,并对我们做出同样积极的反应。毫无疑问,真正重要的是一个人的内在品质,但是有时仅仅因为不相称的着装,或者没有花费足够的时间去考虑其他人对我们的看法,我们就可能传递出错误的信号。

41找一个模仿的榜样

例如,人们常常会错误地努力使自己看起来像他们在杂志上见到的某个人,这常常会是一个大失败,因为我们每个人都有自己的特点。站到一个全身镜子面前,坦诚地对待你所见到的自己。没有必要在你的缺点上踌躇,因为每个人都各有所长各有所短,相反,应该考虑的是用最好的方法突出你的优势。

42做定期的有意识的选择

每天挑选衣服的时候,都考虑一下你要和谁见面,你要度过大部分时间的地方以及你所要完成的任务。显然,一些套装更适合某些不同的活动,在某种程度上,这将决定你的选择。然而,没有必要完全放弃你自己的个人品位。毕竟,如果你是为了取悦他人的审美观点的话,你将会以不舒适或者不完全是你自己的这种感觉告终。

43分析个人品味

为了了解你自己的想法,你必须认识你自己。到底穿什么样的衣服真正地感到舒适?可能会有几件最喜欢,因此你经常穿。许多人在80%的时间里只穿衣橱里20%的衣服。看看这些衣服再问你自己它们有什么共同之处。是否干净整洁?是否宽松平整?然后再看看挂在衣橱里你不穿的衣服,问问自己原因何在。浏览一些杂志和目录,在吸引你目光的东西上做出标记。其中有没有一个共同的主题?

44小心翼翼的尝试

一些颜色可以使你的面色更加自然,生动,另外一些则会使我们看起来筋疲力尽。想尽一切办法去试验新的色彩,但是要谨记,当你真正喜欢的是隐约的中性色彩的时候,穿亮丽的衣服会让你感觉不自然和不舒适,反之亦然。你深入了解自己品味的界限所在。尽管有时候挑战一些新色彩组合的东西有好处,但是不应该立刻走极端。

45让最终的形象完美无缺

这样,你已经挑选出了适合自己风格、个性、身材及面色的服装,但是适合你吗?如果衣服过瘦或者过肥,都达不到理想的效果。不管其他方面的质量如何,它都不能为你的外表增色也不能提高你的自信。有时候,我们不加思索地购物,有些不喜欢购物的人匆匆忙忙地抓起自己第一眼看到的物品或者更愿意邮寄订购或者选择网络。不管在什么情况下,如果不合适的话,就不要买,因为微小的细节和整体风格一样重要。

重新评价你的形象不是自私的,因为每个与你接触的人都会从中受益。你自己将看起来更好,对周围的人也会感觉良好。如果仍有疑问的话,你需要去读一下Albert Mehrabian教授的《无声信息》一书以提醒自己一个人的外表何其重要。他的研究显示:我们给他人留下的印象的55%取决于我们的外表和行为,38%取决于我们的谈吐,只有7%取决于我们实际上表达的内容。因此,无论你处在人生的哪个阶段,无论你扮演的是何种角色,都是充分展示你自己的时候了。
