Question

【題目】What is your favorite color? Do you like yellow, orange, red? __【1】___ Do you prefer greys and blues? Then you are probably quiet, shy, and you would rather follow than lead. You tend to be pessimist. At least, this is what psychologists tell us, and they should know, because they have been seriously studying the meaning of color preference, as well as the effect that colors have on human beings. _【2】___ If you happen to love brown, you did so, as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly.___ 【3】_. A yellow room makes most people feel more cheerful and more relaxed than a dark green one; and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day. __【4】__ A black bridge over the Thames River, near London, used to be the scene of more suicides(自殺) than any other bridge in the area—until it was repainted green. The number of suicide attempts immediately fell sharply. Perhaps it would have fallen even more if the bridge had been done in pink or baby blue.

__【5】___. It is an established fact that factory workers work better, harder, and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black or grey.

A. They tell us, among other facts, that we do not choose our favorite color as grow up — we are born with our preference.

B. On the other hand, black is depressing.

C. The rooms are painted in different colors as you like.

D. Light and bright colors make people not only happier but more active.

E. Life is like a picture or a poem, full of different colors.

試題分析：本文講述了對顏色的喜好是與生俱來的，顏色會影響心情及怎樣通過顏色改變心情。

【1】F 考查對上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。上句講你是否喜歡黃色、桔色和紅色？F項“如果你喜歡這幾種顏色，你一定是享受生活、朋友和樂趣的樂觀者、領(lǐng)袖和積極的人。”承接上文，對這幾種顏色進行近一步說明，故選F。

【2】A 考查對上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。下句講人天生就喜歡某種顏色的事實，A項講“我們對顏色的喜好不是隨年齡選擇的而是天生就有的”與下句意思一致，故選A。

【3】G 考查對上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。下文的例子講的是顏色對心情的影響，G項“毫無疑問顏色影響心情”是對下文的總述，統(tǒng)領(lǐng)下文，故選G。

【4】B 考查對上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。下面事例講黑色影響心情、使人抑郁導(dǎo)致自殺，B項“相反黑色是令人沮喪的顏色”概括下面例子，故選B。

【5】D 考查對上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。下面例子講工廠把機器涂成桔色，生產(chǎn)效率高事故少，D項“淺色和亮色使人快樂和積極”是對下面例子的總說，故選D。
