202506-2 Part III Reading Comprehension Section C Passage OneDirections: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.Passage OneWe all take a little extra effort to look nice for special occasions. But most of us have conflicting feelings about dressing up and feel guilty about taking the time to focus on clothes. Science now suggests the right dress may give ourselves the extra edge in our professional and personal lives.We hear sayings like "dress for the job you want, not the job you have". Most people don't really believe in them, but research into the impact of clothes on behavior now suggests that there may actually be a grain of truth in these sayings. Science says that the clothes we wear affect our behavior, our mood and even the way we interact with others because of the symbolic meaning that we assign to different types of clothing.We consider some clothes to be powerful, some to be fun, and so on. We even evaluate people whom we have just met based on their clothes. We also evaluate ourselves based on what we are wearing because of the way they make us feel. This means that the experience of wearing something affects our attitudes and our choice of behavior.2. Why does science say the clothes one wears may affect their interaction with others?A. Clothes usually represent one's social and economic status.B. Clothes largely determine one's likability by people around.C. Different types of clothing markedly reflect different personalities.D. Different types of clothing convey different messages symbolically.

我们来一步一步分析这道阅读理解题目。

题目：

2. Why does science say the clothes one wears may affect their interaction with others?
   （为什么科学认为一个人穿的衣服可能会影响他们与他人的互动？）

选项：
A. Clothes usually represent one's social and economic status.
（衣服通常代表一个人的社会和经济地位。）
B. Clothes largely determine one's likability by people around.
（衣服在很大程度上决定了周围人对一个人的喜欢程度。）
C. Different types of clothing markedly reflect different personalities.
（不同类型的服装明显反映出不同的个性。）
D. Different types of clothing convey different messages symbolically.
（不同类型的服装象征性地传达不同的信息。）

解题步骤：

第一步：明确问题问的是“科学为什么说衣服会影响人与人之间的互动”。

关键词是：“science says” 和 “affect their interaction with others”。

所以我们需要回到文章中，找出科学依据，即文章中提到的“科学观点”是如何解释衣服影响人际互动的。

第二步：回到原文寻找相关句子。

原文第三段写道：

> Science says that the clothes we wear affect our behavior, our mood and even the way we interact with others because of the symbolic meaning that we assign to different types of clothing.

翻译：科学指出，我们穿的衣服会影响我们的行为、情绪，甚至我们与他人互动的方式，因为我们赋予不同类型服装的象征意义。

这句话直接回答了问题。关键原因是：“because of the symbolic meaning” —— 因为服装具有象征意义。

接着，下一段也补充说：

> We consider some clothes to be powerful, some to be fun, and so on. We even evaluate people whom we have just met based on their clothes. We also evaluate ourselves based on what we are wearing because of the way they make us feel.

我们觉得某些衣服显得有力量，某些显得有趣等等。我们会根据衣服来评价刚认识的人，也会根据所穿的衣服来评价自己。

这说明：衣服通过其象征意义（symbolic meaning）影响我们自己和他人对我们的看法，从而影响互动。

第三步：分析选项。

A. 衣服通常代表社会和经济地位。
→ 虽然这可能是事实，但原文没有提到“社会地位”或“经济地位”是科学解释互动变化的原因。偏离了原文重点。

B. 衣服在很大程度上决定了周围人对一个人的喜欢程度。
→ 原文没有说“likability”（被喜欢程度），也没有使用“determine”这样绝对的词。这个选项属于过度推断。

C. 不同类型的服装明显反映出不同的个性。
→ 虽然人们可能这样认为，但原文强调的是我们赋予衣服的象征意义，而不是衣服反映真实个性。这个选项混淆了“反映个性”和“象征意义”。

D. 不同类型的服装象征性地传达不同的信息。
→ 这正是原文中“because of the symbolic meaning that we assign to different types of clothing”的同义转述。“convey different messages symbolically” 完全对应原文的“symbolic meaning”。

结论：

正确答案是 D，因为它准确反映了文章中科学观点的核心：衣服通过象征意义影响我们的行为和人际互动。

答案：
\boxed{D}
