题目解答

答案

题目考察对文章主旨的理解。根据第一段，科学表明合适的着装（the right dress）可以“give ourselves the extra edge in our professional and personal lives”，即在职业和私人生活中获得额外优势。 - A项“Add to our advantage in work and life”与“extra edge”对应，符合主旨。 - B项“Enable us to look a lot more attractive”未提及科学核心观点，排除。 - C项“Help us to enjoy a fuller personal life”范围过大，未直接体现。 - D项“Provide extra energy”与“hormones”无关，排除。 答案：A. Add to our advantage in work and life.

解析

本题考查对文章细节信息的理解。解题的关键在于准确理解文章中关于合适着装所带来影响的描述，并将各选项与之进行细致对比。

  • 文章明确指出“Science now suggests the right dress may give ourselves the extra edge in our professional and personal lives”，意思是科学表明合适的着装能让我们在职业和个人生活中获得额外优势。
  • A选项：“Add to our advantage in work and life”，“add to”表示增加，“advantage”对应文中的“edge”，“work and life”对应“professional and personal lives”，该选项与原文表述一致，符合题意。
  • B选项：“Enable us to look a lot more attractive”，文章重点强调的是合适着装在职业和个人生活方面带来的优势，而非仅仅是让我们看起来更有吸引力，所以该选项不符合文章主旨，予以排除。
  • C选项：“Help us to enjoy a fuller personal life”，虽然提到了个人生活，但“a fuller personal life”范围过大，没有准确体现出原文中“extra edge”所表达的额外优势的意思，因此该选项不准确，排除。
  • D选项：“Provide extra energy for what we do”，原文中并没有提及合适的着装能为我们所做的事情提供额外能量，所以该选项与原文内容不符，排除。
