一、阅读理解
(2023·江苏连云港·一模)①The natural world is colorful with humans, plants and animals showing different colors. Human skin can be many different colors and it changes with the sun, our feelings, or our health. This is because of pigments(色素), which reflect light and make what the eye sees as colors. So, when we feel excited or angry, our heart sends more blood to the face and the pigments in the skin become red.
② Plants also have pigments. Colors plays an important role in their life. The bright colors of flowers catch the attention of insects, which then carry their pollen(花粉)from one flower to another. Bees can see colors we cannot, and they follow these to the inside of the flower. Without bees visiting flowers in this way, many plants would die out.
③ Animals also use colors for their own need. They protect themselves with different colors in order not to be seen by predators(捕食者).The snowshoe hare, for example, a type of wild rabbit, changes colors with seasons for this reason. During summer it is a brown color, and in winter it is white so that it can hide in the snow. However, some animals use the color as a warning to frighten predators away. Bright colors such as yellow and red are often used in this way.
④ So, we can see that there may be many different reasons and uses for colors in the natural world. Some uses of colors in nature remain unknown, but one thing is for sure, colors not only make our planet beautiful, but they are also necessary for our planet to live on.

(23-24九年级上·江苏泰州·期中)Why is pink or purple a color for girls and blue or brown for boys?
The answer depends largely on cultural values as well as personal experiences. To the Egyptians, green is a color that represents the hope and joy of spring, while for Muslims, it means heaven. Red is a symbol of happiness and good luck in many cultures. In China, children are given money in a red envelope to bring good luck in the New Year. For many nations, blue is a symbol of protection and religious beliefs (宗教信仰). Greek people often wear a blue necklace hoping to protect themselves against something bad.
People’s choice of colors is also influenced by their bodies’ reactions (反应) toward them. Green is said to be the most restful color. It has the ability to reduce pain and relax people both mentally and physically (身心). People who work in green environment have been found to have fewer stomachs.
Red can cause a person’s blood pressure to rise and increase people’s appetites (食欲). Many decorators will include different shades of red in the restaurant. Similarly, many commercial (商业的) websites will have a red “Buy Now” button because red is a color that easily catches a person’s eye and encourages them to buy things.
Blue is another calm color. Unlike red, blue can cause people to lose appetite. So if you want to eat less, some people suggest that eating from blue plates can help.
The next time you are deciding on what to wear or what color to decorate your room, think about the color carefully.

(22-23九年级下·江苏苏州·阶段练习)As usual, Amber was hurrying to catch the yellow school bus. Luckily the traffic lights turned green as she was to cross the road, so she made it. When the bus passed a golden arch(拱形门), it reminded her of a hamburger. She hadn’t had breakfast that morning because the fruit salad on the blue dish didn’t look delicious at all. However, Amber remembered that she was still on a diet. So now she was really in a black mood.
You may have noticed that several colours were used in the above story so as to help describe Amber’s morning. In fact, colours influence your life more than you can ever imagine. Take language for example: You may describe a sick person as being “a bit green”. To describe a depressed(沮丧的) person, you say that the person is “feeling blue”. In short, colours do add interest to daily conversations.
Besides, colours can be used in many parts of your daily life. Have you ever thought about why many school buses and taxis are painted yellow, and stop signs red? Since yellow is the most eye-catching colour, it can catch people’s attention, especially in heavy traffic. As for red, it is the colour which usually shows warning. As a result, some traffic signs use this colour. For the same reason, hot- water taps are usually marked red.
The colours of a dining environment possibly decide how much you eat. Most fast-food restaurants are often decorated in bright colours such as red, yellow, orange, and white for the purpose of increasing people’s appetites(胃口). This is because bright colours are natural colours found in many foods, and, therefore, able to raise people’s spirits. Blue, in comparison(对比)with bright colours, is said to lower people’s appetites because few foods are blue in nature. For those who are on a diet, blue dishes and bowls might help!
“Morning, Amber! What happened? You look a bit green,” said Violet, Amber’s best friend.
“Nothing… just feeling … blue,” said Amber.
“Hey! Come to my place tonight. Do you know what I just bought? A phone! It’s red-hot.”
Amber was tickled pink to have the chance to play with the phone and said, “Sounds great!”
9.According to the passage, if you are on a diet, ________ might help.
A.putting your food in a blue dish or bowl B.turning on a yellow light during the meal
C.painting the walls of the dining room white D.covering the dining table with an orange cloth
10.Most school buses are painted yellow because ________.
A.it tells other drivers to prepare to stop B.it helps bus drivers stay in a good mood
C.it can easily catch other people’s attention D.it is the colour that most school children like
11.Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?
A.Colours influence people’s daily lives. B.Most fast-food restaurants are painted grey.
C.Different colours are used for different purposes. D.Colours make daily conversations more interesting.
12.What can we infer(推断)from the passage?
A.Amber was not fat at all. B.Amber cheered up at Violet’s invitation at last.
C.Violet didn’t know how colours influenced our lives. D.The arch is painted gold only to make it beautiful.
(22-23九年级下·江苏无锡·阶段练习)There are many colours in nature. But do you know if a colour has weight? I think you’ll say “no”. But I am afraid you are wrong. If you don’t believe, you may do a small experiment.
First, put two objects with the same weight into two boxes. Then cover the box. Third, wrap one box with a red piece of paper, the other with a white piece of paper. OK. Now hold the boxes with your hand one by one. It is certain that you will think the red one is a little heavier.
Why do you think so? A scientist found different colours have different weight in a man’s mind. So he did many tests and at last he got the result. That’s to say, every colour has its own weight in our mind and the order is the same. The heaviest colour is red, then blue, green, orange, yellow and white.
The scientist told us that colours also have smell. Can you smell the colour? Of course not. Then why did the scientist say so? That is because every colour stands for a kind of light with a certain wavelength (波长). It reaches our brain through sense organs (感觉器官).
According to this discovery, scientists say that people accept the colours they like, and refuse the colours they hate. So your body and mind will be healthy by using the colours you like. Or you’ll be nervous or even get ill.
13.In people’s mind, different colours have different weight. Orange is heavier than ________.
A.blue B.red C.yellow D.green
14.The purpose of the second paragraph is to tell us ________.
A.a red box is heavier than a white one
B.a colour has weight in one’s mind
C.white paper is lighter than red paper
D.you can know the weight of a colour by holding it
15.Why did the scientist say colours have smell?
A.Because people can sense the light from colours.
B.Because we can smell colours with our nose.
C.Because every colour has its own sweet smell.
D.Because every colour can give off light of the same length.
(22-23九年级上·江苏南京·期中)Colours may be generally related to(有关联的)certain emotions(情绪), a study has found.
The researchers in Dr Daniel Oberfeld’s team wrote: “Red is related to both good and bad emotions while black is clearly related to bad emotions. In the recent study, red was often related to love and anger, while black to sadness, hate and fear among other bad emotions.” Other colours which had strong relations across countries were pink with love, grey with sadness and orange with joy or pleasure.
Some other colours, however, had smaller but more interesting relations. For example, people in Greece were far more likely to connect purple with sadness than those in other countries. While people in the UK and Germany strongly connect yellow with joy, but Greek and Chinese people did not feel the same link.
Almost all the colours, even if they didn’t have a close link to one emotion, were either good or bad—except for red, which was related to both anger and love, and purple and brown. which were neither. Good colours were yellow, white, turquoise, pink, orange and green. Bad were grey and black.
Dr Oberfeld’s team added: “Red, black, and pink have strong colour-emotion relations, and brown and purple have weak relations. Across the 240 colour-emotion pairs, the strongest relations were found between the emotion love and the colour term red.”
16.Which part of a newspaper may this passage be taken from?
A.Science Study. B.Sports World. C.Art & Fashion. D.Animal Life.
17.Which of the following do Dr Oberfeld’s team agree with?
A.Black is clearly connected with good emotions.
B.The Chinese connect the colour purple with sadness.
C.Pink and orange are mainly related to good emotions.
D.The Germans connect purple and brown with anger and love.
18.What is the best title for the text?
A.Colours and People B.Love and Studies
C.Emotions and Countries D.Colours and Emotions
(22-23九年级上·江苏扬州·期中)What’s your favorite color? In 2019, you might choose orange.
The Pantone Color Institute, a US professional color standards company, has chosen Living Coral(珊瑚橘) as its 2019 color of the year. Living Coral is a shade of orange with a golden undertone. Bright and warm, it is the color of coral reefs under the sea.
Pantone said Living Coral is a color that makes people feel good. It provides comfort and cheerfulness in fast-paced modern times.
Modern technology and social media have become increasingly hard to separate from daily life, according to Pantone. The company tried to choose a color that suggests connection and intimacy(亲密感).
It is true that online life is everywhere. Social media, photo sharing and online games , people are connected with each other online more than ever. But it seems that we are losing our ability to communicate in person. How many friends can enjoy a meal together without looking at their smartphones? Cyber bullying(网络霸凌) and online rum or shave also created a general feeling of discontent.
“We’re looking toward those colors that bring comfort and familiarity that make us feel good. It’s not too heavy. We want to play. We want to be uplifted,” said Pressman, Pantone’s vice president.
“It’s the emotional nourishment. It’s a big hug,” she said of Living Coral.

21.What does the underlined word “nourishment” mean in Chinese?

(22-23九年级上·江苏·期末)From red apples and yellow lemons to blueberries and green melons, fruit comes in many different colors. Why do different kinds of fruit have so many colors?
According to Lu Wei from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the fruit’s colors actually come from their different pigments (色素). These pigments appear differently, depending on the fruit’s environment. This causes the fruit to turn a certain color.
To find out how environment influences fruit colors, Chinese scientists studied more than 280 different fruit colors. They found that red fruit usually grows in cooler places, and instead of just growing in one place, you can find red fruit growing in many places around the world. Blue and purple fruit mostly grows in warm places. The scientists also found that the closer the fruit is to the equator (赤道), the darker its color will be.
Animals have also had an influence on fruit colors. Animals eat fruit and drop the seeds (种子) in other places later. This helps the fruit spread and grow in different places. Therefore, in order to attract animals, some fruit develop colors that are easy for animals to see.
① Fruit needs to develop colors that are suitable for animals’ visual (视觉的) abilities. For example, birds can see red more easily than humans do. Therefore, there is more red fruit in areas where birds live. The lemurs (狐猴) of Madagascar are red-green color-blind. Different yellow fruit can be found there, as the animals can easily see this color.
23.You are more likely (可能的) to find blue and purple fruit in ________ places.
A.cooler B.warmer C.higher D.lower
24.Which of the following sentences is suitable for “ ① ”?
A.Fruit and animals help each other.
B.That is why fruit in the wild is more colorful.
C.However, not all animals are interested in colors.
D.However, animals see colors in a different way.
25.What’s the best title for this passage?
A.Why fruit often changes colors. B.Why fruit has different colors.
C.How environment influences fruit colors. D.How animals influence fruit colors.
(2024·湖北黄石·二模)The natural world is colorful with humans, plants and animals showing different colors.
There can be many different colors in human skin and it changes with the sun, our feelings or our health for example. This is because of pigments (色素), which reflect light and make what the eye sees as colors. When we feel excited or angry, the heart can send more blood to the face and the pigments in the skin become red. This is why we have the expression that someone “sees red” when they are angry.
Plants also have pigments. Color is important for them to live on. The bright colors of flowers catch the attention of insects, which then carry their pollen (花粉) from one flower to another. Bees can see colors we cannot, and they follow them to the inside of flowers. Without bees visiting flowers in this way, many plants would die out.
Animals also use color for their own needs. They protect themselves with different colors so as not to be seen by predators. The snowshoe hare for example, a kind of wild rabbit, changes color with seasons for this reason. During summer it is a brown color, and in winter it is white so that it can hide in the snow. However, some animals use color as a warning to make predators stay away. Bright colors such as yellow and red are often used in this way. Nature, however, is very clever, and predators also use colors to attract the animals they feed on.
So, we can see that there may be many different reasons and uses for colors in the natural world. Some uses of color in nature remain unknown, but one thing is for sure, color not only makes our planet beautiful but it is also necessary for our planet to live on.
26.Why does our skin become red when we are excited?
A.Because we are in very good health.
B.Because our hearts send more blood to our skin.
C.Because the pigments reflect more bright light.
D.Because the strong sun shines directly on our skin.

A.By visiting plants every day. B.By climbing plants one after another.
C.By carrying flowers from place to place. D.By carrying pollen from flower to flower.
28.What does the underlined word “predators” most probably mean in Chinese?
A.敏捷的动物 B.捕食性动物 C.大型的动物 D.凶猛的动物
29.What’s the structure of the passage? (P—Paragraph)
A. B. C. D.
30.What does the passage mainly tell us?
A.There are many uses for colors in nature. B.Plants use colors to attract bees.

(23-24九年级上·江苏泰州·期末)
①A new study has shown how the colour of a bowl can influence the taste of the food it holds.
②Although it is hard to say what a picky eater (挑食的人) is like, the type may include people who have a limited diet, who have strong likes or dislikes for certain food, who require food to be prepared in a special way, who aren’t willing to accept new food, or who show signs of all these features.
③According to this new study, food was put into two groups in red, blue, or white bowls. While the colour made no difference in taste for non-picky eaters, the picky eaters reported changes in their taste senses based on the colour of the bowl being used. Snacks in red and blue bowls were thought to have more salt than those in white bowls, while snacks in red bowls were less pleasant than those in the other bowls.
④ “This knowledge can be useful for those who want to try more kinds of foods,” says Lorenzo Stafford, a psychologist from the University of Portsmouth in the UK. “For example, if you want to encourage a picky eater to try some bitter (苦的) vegetables, you can try to put them on a pink plate or in a yellow bowl, because this can give him or her a sweet feeling.”
⑤At first it may seem strange that a bowl colour can influence the taste of food, but the research before has shown how light and music can influence eating habits. All of our senses are connected, including taste.
⑥ “This new study can help in treating food neophobia—the unwillingness to try new food,” the team of the study says, and further studies will be required to find out more relationships between colours and foods.
⑦ “Through further studies, maybe we can decide ways to help actively influence a person’s diet, and as a result, their health in mind and body,” says Stafford.
34.According to the passage, who is a picky eater?
• Tom especially likes hamburgers.
• Lucy is able to accept new food happily.
• Sigmund usually has three meals a day.
• Mary doesn’t care how vegetables are cooked.
A.Tom. B.Lucy. C.Mary. D.Sigmund.
35.According to the new study, which of the following is true?
A.All the colours made no difference in taste to picky eaters.
B.Snacks in red bowls seem to be saltier than those in blue bowls.
C.Snacks in red bowls seem less pleasant than those in white bowls.
D.Putting sweet vegetables on a pink plate may give a bitter feeling.
36.According to the passage, why can a bowl colour influence the taste of food?
A.It doesn’t tell us.
B.Because people like colourful bowls.
C.Because light and music can influence eating habits.
D.Because all of our senses are connected, including taste.
37.What does the underlined word neophobia mean?
A.美食综合症 B.消化不良 C.新奇恐惧症 D.暴饮暴食
38.Which paragraphs talk about the meaning of this new study?
A.④⑤⑥⑦ B.⑤⑥⑦ C.⑥⑦ D.⑦

39.例文
There are many different kinds of colours in the world, such as white, blue, orange, red, and so on. But my favourite colour is white. I went on a trip to the ice city Harbin in winter last year. The city was wrapped in a thick carpet of snow. Ice and snow sculptures, in all their shapes and forms, adorned every corner of the streets. People went skiing, skating, and visiting lantern shows. A chorus of cheerful sounds lighted up the coldness with passion. White symbolizes purity and eternity. Like a pure white castle, Harbin in winter is imbued with romantic aura. Since then, white has been my favorite colour. It can make me feel relaxed. This character in shape symbolizes the sun rising amid the clouds and mountains while giving out incredible white light. The condensed fat originally refers to smooth and white skin with a little yellowish hue which is the typical color of Chinese people’s skin.

41.例文
Dear Sir or Madam,
I’m writing to recommend Sandy as “The Sunshine Teenager” in our school.
Sandy is full of confidence and is never afraid of giving a speech in public and singing in class. Sandy is also so hard-working that she often does some extra exercises after class and asks teachers for some difficult questions to improve herself. Moreover, she is so helpful a girl that she is always willing to help the students who are absent from school with their lessons and help the teachers with their things. Sandy is good at using colors to express herself. She likes red best as red can help cheer herself up quickly when she is feeling blue. Green is also Sandy’s favorite color because she thinks wearing green can make herself look wiser.
I think Sandy is the most suitable person to be the sunshine teenager. I hope you will agree with me.
Yours sincerely,
Li Lei

As seniors in middle school, you may feel stressed at times. But you know what? Colors may help a lot.
As we all know, different colors have different functions. When feeling tired, you can look at trees far away, because green can help relax your eyes. Happiness is the most important. When you are sad, you can look at some orange objects to cheer up. If you feel it hard to fall asleep at night, you had better paint your bedroom blue, for it can calm you down and make you relaxed.
I believe you will feel less stressed as long as you follow my advice.
