According to psychologist Sharon Draper, our clothing choices can absolutely affect our wellbeing. When we wear ill-fitting clothes, or feel over- or under-dressed for an event, it’s natural to feel self-conscious or even stressed. Conversely, she says, opting for clothes that fit well and【C1】________with your sense of style can improve your confidence. But can you improve your health through your【C2】________clothing, without having to dash out and buy a whole new【C3】________? "Absolutely," says Draper. If your goal is to improve your thinking, she recommends picking clothes that fit well and are unlikely to encourage restlessness, so, avoid bows, ties and unnecessary【C4】________. It also helps to opt for clothes you【C5】________as tying in with your goals, so, if you want to perform better at work, select pieces you view as professional. Draper says this fits in with the concept of behavioral activation, whereby【C6】________in a behavior (in this case, selecting clothes) can set you on the path to then achieving your goals (working harder). Another way to improve your【C7】________of mind is to mix things up. Draper says we often feel stuck in a rut (常规) if we wear the same clothes—even if they’re our favorites—thus opting for an item you don’t wear often, or adding something different to an outfit, such as a hat, can【C8】________shift your mood. On days when you’re really【C9】________to brave the world, Draper suggests selecting sentimental items of clothing, such as ones you wore on a special day, or given to you by a loved one, as clothes with【C10】________associations can help you tap into constructive emotions.
【答案解析】空格前为连词and,空格后为介词短语with your sense of style,由此可知,空格前后是定语从句中并列的谓语部分,空格处应填入一个动词原形与前面的谓语动词fit构成并列关系。文章开门见山地指出,心理学家莎伦.德雷珀认为,我们的着装选择绝对会影响我们的健康。当我们穿着不合身的衣服,或在某个场合穿得太过考究或不够得体时,自然会感到不自在,甚至有压力。由此可知,本句承接上文语义,说的是一种相反的情况,即选择合身、符合自己时尚感的衣服可以提高自信。align意为“使对齐”,与介词with搭配,构成固定短语align with,表示“与……相匹配、一致”,符合此处“符合自己时尚感”的语境。故本题应选B。
问答题
【C2】
【正确答案】D
【答案解析】空格前为形容词性物主代词your,空格后为名词clothing,由此可知,空格处应填入形容词或分词,充当clothing的定语。本句是作者的设问,而下一句是作者引述德雷珀针对这一设问的肯定回答。因此。由句中的否定性介词短语without having to clash out and buy a whole new…可知,此处问的是,你可以通过现有的衣服来改善你的健康状况,而不需要冲出去买一整柜的新……吗?current意为“现在的,当前的”,符合语境,故本题应选D。
【答案解析】分析本句可知,It also helps to opt for clothes为内容完整的句子,而you________as tying in with your goals是定语从句,修饰先行词clothes,故空格处应填入一个动词,充当定语从句的谓语动词。由下文表示结果的句子so,if you want to perform better at work,select pieces you view as prolqessional(所以,如果你想在工作中表现得更好,就选择你认为职业化的衣服)可知,此处是说原因,即选择你认为与你的目标一致的衣服也会有帮助。备选项perceive具有“认为”之意,符合语境,故本题应选I。句中tie in with为固定短语,意为“与……一致;配合”。
问答题
【C6】
【正确答案】E
【答案解析】分析空格所在部分句子结构可知,can set you on the path为谓语,故其前面的内容为句子的主语,故空格处应填入一个名词或动名词,充当句子的主语。上文提及如何选择合适的衣物的问题,此处承接上文,德雷珀表示,这符合行为激活的理念,即做出一种行为(在这里指的是选择衣服)可以让你走上实现目标(更努力地工作)的道路。engage in为固定短语,意为“从事,参与”,符合此处语境,故本题应选E。
问答题
【C7】
【正确答案】G
【答案解析】空格前为形容词性物主代词your,空格后为介词短语of mind,由此可知,空格处应填入一个名词。前两段一直探讨如何穿着才能让自己更健康、有更好的工作状态,此处使用了Another way to improve your…表明本段开始介绍另外一种改善方法。由此判断,此处是指另一个改善你的心态的方法。frame of mind为固定搭配,意为“心境,心情,心绪”,符合语境,故本题应选G。
问答题
【C8】
【正确答案】J
【答案解析】空格前为情态动词call,空格后为动词原形shift,由此可知,空格处应填入一个副词,修饰动词shift。由上文Draper says we often feel stuck in a rut if we wear the same clothes—even if they’re our favorites可知,德雷珀说,如果我们总穿同样的衣服——即使它们是我们最喜欢的——我们往往会有一成不变的感觉,所以此处承接上文,说的是衣着有些变化可以“积极地”改变人的心情。positively意为“积极地”,符合语境,故本题应选J。
问答题
【C9】
【正确答案】M
【答案解析】空格前为when you’re really,空格后为不定式短语to brave the world,由此可知,此处为when引导的时间状语从句,空格处应填入一个形容词,充当系动词are的表语。由主句中的Call help you tap into constructive emotion(可以帮助你激发有益的情绪)可知,从句列举的是一种消极的情境,故可推知,应为不愿意勇敢面对世界。reluctant意为“不情愿的,勉强的”,符合语境,故本题应选M。be reluctant to do sth. 为固定搭配,意为“不情愿做某事”。
问答题
【C10】
【正确答案】F
【答案解析】空格前为介词with,空格后为名词associations,由此可知,空格处应填入一个形容词,充当associations的定语。由句Draper suggests selecting sentimental items of clothing,such as ones you wore on a special day,or given to you by a loved one可知,德雷珀建议选择带有感情色彩的衣服,比如你在一个特殊的日子穿过的,或者是你所爱的人送给你的衣服,下文指出这种做法的原因,即因为带有美好联想的衣服可以帮助你激发有益的情绪。fond常见含义为“喜爱的,喜欢的”,它还可以意为“美好的”,用在此处符合语境,即“美好的联想”,故本题应选F。
