解析

本题主要考查对文章内容的理解和细节信息的把握。解题的关键在于仔细阅读文章，理解每个段落的主旨，并将题目中的问题与文章中的相关内容进行匹配。

46题

文章第一段提到“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可能会让我们在职业和个人生活中获得额外的优势。

  • A选项“Add to our advantage in work and life.”（增加我们在工作和生活中的优势）与原文表述一致，所以A选项正确。
  • B选项“Enable us to look a lot more attractive.”（使我们看起来更有吸引力），文章重点强调的是着装对职业和生活的影响，而非单纯的外表吸引力，所以B选项错误。
  • C选项“Help us to enjoy a fuller personal life.”（帮助我们享受更充实的个人生活），原文未提及着装能让个人生活更充实，所以C选项错误。
  • D选项“Provide extra energy for what we do.”（为我们所做的事情提供额外的能量），文章没有提到着装能提供额外能量，所以D选项错误。

47题

文章第二段指出“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.”，即我们穿的衣服会影响我们的行为、情绪甚至与他人的互动方式，原因是我们赋予不同类型衣服的象征意义。

  • A选项“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），文章未提及衣服与社会和经济地位的关系，所以A选项错误。
  • B选项“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爱程度），文章没有说衣服能决定他人的喜爱程度，所以B选项错误。
  • C选项“Different types of clothing markedly reflect different personalities.”（不同类型的衣服明显反映不同的个性），文章强调的是象征意义，而非个性，所以C选项错误。
  • D选项“Different types of clothing convey different messages symbolically.”（不同类型的衣服象征性地传达不同的信息），与原文中衣服的象征意义影响互动的表述相符，所以D选项正确。

48题

文章第三段提到“We also evaluate ourselves based on what we are wearing because of the way they make us feel.”，意思是我们也会根据自己的穿着来评价自己，因为穿着会影响我们的感受。

  • A选项“By exerting an effect on our power of judgment.”（通过影响我们的判断力），文章未提及对判断力的影响，所以A选项错误。
  • B选项“By impacting how we feel about ourselves.”（通过影响我们对自己的感受），与原文表述一致，所以B选项正确。
  • C选项“By affecting what we take as the basis for assessment.”（通过影响我们评估的依据），文章强调的是感受，而非评估依据，所以C选项错误。
  • D选项“By influencing our interpretation of symbolic messages.”（通过影响我们对象征信息的解读），文章未提及对象征信息解读的影响，所以D选项错误。

49题

文章第四段指出“There's a reason tailored jackets are associated with being 'dressed for success'. It seems that wearing formal office wear puts us in the right frame of mind to conduct business.”，即定制夹克与“为成功而着装”相关是有原因的，穿正式的办公装似乎能让我们进入正确的心态来开展业务。

  • A选项“They are necessary for formal business dealings.”（它们对于正式的商业交易是必要的），文章未强调定制夹克的必要性，所以A选项错误。
  • B选项“They may help people concentrate on their business.”（它们可能帮助人们专注于业务），文章重点是心态，而非专注度，所以B选项错误。
  • C选项“They are vital to keeping a dominant position in business transactions.”（它们对于在商业交易中保持主导地位至关重要），文章未提及保持主导地位，所以C选项错误。
  • D选项“They may enable people to have the right mentality for doing business.”（它们可能使人们拥有正确的商业心态），与原文表述一致，所以D选项正确。

50题

文章最后一段提到“While a good suit works wonders for our performance in the boardroom, wearing formal wear isn't a great idea when we want to socialize. … On the other hand, a casual dress helps us become more friendly and creative.”，意思是虽然一套好西装对我们在会议室的表现有奇效，但当我们想社交时，穿正装不是个好主意，而休闲装能让我们变得更友好和有创造力。

  • A选项“Focus on clothing.”（关注服装），文章强调的是着装类型，而非单纯关注服装，所以A选项错误。
  • B选项“Wear a good suit.”（穿一套好西装），原文明确表示社交时穿正装不合适，所以B选项错误。
  • C选项“Dress casually.”（穿休闲装），与原文建议相符，所以C选项正确。
