What is your favourite colour? 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(悲觀者). At least, this is what psychologists tell us, and they should know, because they have been seriously studying the meaning of colour preference, as well as the effect that colours 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．On the other hand, black is depressing（使人憂傷）.

B．They tell us, among other facts, that we do not choose our favourite colour as grow up --- we are born with our preference.

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

D．If you do, you must be an optimist, a leader, an active person who enjoys life, people and excitement.

E. Light and bright colours make people not only happier but more active.

F. Life is like a picture or a poem, full of different colours.

G. Colours do influence our moods---there is no doubt about it

 

【答案】

1.D

2.B

3.G

4.A

5.E

【解析】

試題分析：本文主要講述了顏色對人的情緒的影響，文章中例句了不同的顏色對人的清晰地不同的影響。

1.D 根據(jù)前句Do you like yellow, orange, red?說明本句是對此會出回答，D項內(nèi)容與上下文是相符的。

2.B 根據(jù)下句If you happen to love brown, you did so可知人們對顏色的喜好是天生的，與生俱來的。

3.G 根據(jù)本段內(nèi)容可知顏色對我們的情緒的影響是確定存在的，毫無疑問的。在這一段里列舉了多個例子。故G正確。

4.A 根據(jù)下一句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.可知黑色對人的影響和紅色對人的影響是不一樣的。

5.E 根據(jù)下面兩句.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.可知淺的顏色對人的影響，讓人更開心。
