[G] Make it efficient
No matter how formal or informal the work environment, the way you present yourself has an impact. This is especially true in fast 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 enhances 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.
【答案】[B]
【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(dòng)的時(shí)期或者感覺需要變動(dòng)，那么可能這可能是一個(gè)好的時(shí)機(jī)。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(shí)機(jī)。故答案為[B]項(xiàng)。
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.)
【答案】[F]
【解析】此段中心句即第一句話，表明“要清楚你想要的結(jié)果或影響”。其實(shí)就是你想要的目標(biāo)。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(duì)于一個(gè)人來講，這個(gè)目標(biāo)可能是要變得嚴(yán)肅些或者要加強(qiáng)專業(yè)的形象醫(yī)學(xué)全.在.線.提供. gydjdsj.org.cn。對(duì)于其他人，這個(gè)目標(biāo)可能是要變得更平易近人，或者是更現(xiàn)代化、更時(shí)尚。對(duì)于那些要從金融轉(zhuǎn)到廣告的，他們可能得看起來更“SOHO”。可見整段都在講目標(biāo)，[F]項(xiàng)中的“goal”與之對(duì)應(yīng)，故為答案。
43.____________________
Look at your work environment like an anthropologist. What are the norms of your environment? What conveys status? Who are your most important audiences? How do the people you respect and look up to present themselves? The better you understand te cultural context, the more control you can have over your impact.
【答案】[D]
【解析】本段主要闡述的內(nèi)容是要觀察你的工作環(huán)境，認(rèn)清環(huán)境中的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)，并且最后一句說你對(duì)周圍的文化環(huán)境理解得越清晰，你越能控制你的影響�？芍径沃饕褪钦f要理解周圍的環(huán)境，故選[D]項(xiàng)。
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. 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.
【答案】[E]
【解析】本段第一句提到：要獲得專家的支持，和他們分享你的目標(biāo)和周圍環(huán)境，后面又提到可以雇傭造型師、攝影師等等，可見本段主要講的就是征詢專家的意見、和專家合作，故選[E]項(xiàng)。
45_____________________
The point of a style upgrade isn’t to become more vain or to spend more time excessing 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 clothes …. once with a stylist instead of shopping alone, one article of clothing at a time.
【答案】[G]
【解析】此段第二句句首出現(xiàn)instead，這種轉(zhuǎn)折連詞后面往往是作者要表述的重要內(nèi)容。該句講的是“最好是將形象升級(jí)當(dāng)作是減少?zèng)Q定疲勞的機(jī)會(huì)”，即減少做決定，緊接著提到“選取一套標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的工作服或幾個(gè)其他的選擇。和造型師一起把衣服一下子都買了，而不是一個(gè)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]項(xiàng)。
Part C
Directions:
Read the following text carefully and then translate the underlined segments into Chinese .You translation should be written neatly on the ANSWER SHEKT. (10 points)
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)】此句中分號(hào)連接了兩個(gè)并列句。第一個(gè)句子中how to be mentally healthy作learn的賓語。第二個(gè)句子主干是it is built into us，in the same way引導(dǎo)狀語從句說明built into us的方式，that引導(dǎo)定語從句修飾way，其中定語從句中how to heal a cut or mend a broken bone作know的賓語。
【參考譯文】我們無需刻意去學(xué)習(xí)怎樣才能讓心理健康；它正如我們的身體知道怎樣愈合傷口和修復(fù)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)】此句中分號(hào)連接了兩個(gè)并列句。第一個(gè)句子是簡(jiǎn)單句，第二個(gè)句子中，like the sun behind a cloud是狀語，but連接兩個(gè)轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系的并列分句，在翻譯時(shí)要注意be hidden from和be capable of的被動(dòng)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(shí)被遮擋，但是它也可以在瞬間重?zé)ü饷ⅰ?BR> 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)】該句主干是Mental health allows us to view others，三個(gè)并列with引導(dǎo)的介詞短語做狀語，前兩個(gè)with引導(dǎo)的狀語中各包含一個(gè)if引導(dǎo)的條件狀語從句，最后一個(gè)with狀語中包含一個(gè)no matter引導(dǎo)的讓步狀語從句。
【參考譯文】心理健康使我們?cè)谒擞龅铰闊⿻r(shí)給予同情，在他人痛苦時(shí)心存善意，而且無論對(duì)方是誰都會(huì)給予無條件的關(guān)愛。
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.
【句子結(jié)構(gòu)】本題有一個(gè)由although引導(dǎo)的讓步狀語從句，as引導(dǎo)的原因狀語從句，以及that引導(dǎo)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(dá)習(xí)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”�！癲ifficult decisions”若翻譯為“困難的決定”，不符合中文的表達(dá)方式，所以將decision，名詞譯為動(dòng)詞“做決定”。
【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(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)在你難以做決定時(shí)，它一直在指引著你。
50. As you will come to see, knowing that mental health is always available and knowing to trust it allow us to slow down to the moment and live life happily.
【句子結(jié)構(gòu)】該句由as引導(dǎo)的定語從句，that引導(dǎo)的賓語從句組成，并且考察代詞“it”�！皊ee”在該句中是“了解”而不是“看到”的意思，前后的knowing可合并翻譯；“available”本意“可得到的”，該句中意譯為“一直存在的”。
【參考譯文】你會(huì)慢慢理解到，明白健康的心智會(huì)一直存在，并且堅(jiān)信這一點(diǎn)，那么此刻我們就可以放慢生活節(jié)奏，快樂地生活。
