So purple is one of the most 1 colors today. But in the past, purple was a very expensive and unusual color. Let’s take a look at the rich 2 of the color purple. Some scientists believe that the first plants to appear on Earth over 500 million years ago 3 looked purple, not green. Plants today are green 4 they use green chlorophyll (叶绿素) to produce energy. But these 5 plants probably used something called retinal, which is a dark purple color. During the time of the Roman Empire (37 BC-476 AD), it was very 6 to make purple dye (染料). The dye came from sea snails (海螺). But 10,000 dead sea snails 7 you just one gram (克) of purple dye... as well as a very bad smell! This 8 purple dye was called Tyrian purple, and it was the preferred 9 of emperors. In 16th century England, purple was 10 for the kings’ family members. Queen Elizabeth I’s clothes were purple, but ordinary people were not allowed 11 the color. In 1856, William Perkin, an 18-year-old 12 student, noticed something strange while doing an experiment (实验). The chemicals (化学药品) he used to clean his instruments 13 with the chemicals he used in his experiment and produced a bright purple color. This 14 led Perkin to start a company using this chemical mixture to make purple dye. The dye was much 15 than sea snail dye. Thanks to Perkin, now anyone can afford to wear purple clothes. 1．A．peaceful B．popular C．exciting D．serious 2．A．history B．style C．research D．product 3．A．gradually B．especially C．exactly D．probably 4．A．when B．because C．until D．if 5．A．ugly B．huge C．early D．tall 6．A．dangerous B．common C．difficult D．strange 7．A．got B．passed C．wasted D．cost 8．A．basic B．harmful C．special D．perfect 9．A．color B．smell C．plant D．animal 10．A．even B．never C．seldom D．only 11．A．to wear B．wear C．wearing D．wears 12．A．geography B．science C．art D．math 13．A．compared B．mixed C．collected D．kept 14．A．survey B．suggestion C．discovery D．exam 15．A．healthier B．thicker C．cheaper D．darker 【答案】 1．B 2．A 3．D 4．B 5．C 6．C 7．A 8．C 9．A 10．D 11．A 12．B 13．B 14．C 15．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了紫色是现在最流行的颜色之一，但是在过去，紫色是非常昂贵和不同寻常的颜色，文中详细介绍了紫色的历史。 1．句意：紫色是当今最流行的颜色之一。 peaceful和平的；popular流行的；exciting令人兴奋的；serious严肃的。根据“There are purple clothes, purple handbags, purple bicycles, purple furniture, even purple computers!”可知，紫色在当今非常流行。故选B。 2．句意：让我们来看看紫色的丰富历史。 history历史；style风格；research研究；product产品。根据后文可知，是对紫色历史的描述，此处应填入history“历史”。故选A。 3．句意：一些科学家认为，5亿多年前地球上最早出现的植物可能看起来是紫色的，而不是绿色的。 gradually逐渐地；especially尤其；exactly确切地；probably可能。根据“Some scientists believe”可知，这是一种推测，因此填入“可能”。故选D。 4．句意：今天的植物是绿色的，因为它们使用绿色叶绿素来产生能量。 when当……时；because因为；until直到；if如果。此处表示因果关系，解释植物是绿色的原因。故选B。 5．句意：但这些早期植物可能使用了一种叫做视黄醛的物质，它是深紫色的。 ugly丑陋的；huge巨大的；early早期的；tall高的。根据上文“the first plants”可知，这些植物是早期的。故选C。 6．句意：在罗马帝国时期，制造紫色染料非常困难。 dangerous危险的；common常见的；difficult困难的；strange奇怪的。根据后文“10,000 dead sea snails…”可知，制造紫色染料非常困难。故选C。 7．句意：10,000只死海螺只给你带来一克紫色染料。 got得到；passed通过；wasted浪费；cost花费。根据“you just one gram (克) of purple dye”可知，此处表示“得到”一克染料。故选A。 8．句意：这种特殊的紫色染料被称为泰尔紫，它是皇帝们偏爱的颜色。 basic基本的；harmful有害的；special特殊的；perfect完美的。根据上文染料的获取过程可知，这种染料是特殊的。故选C。 9．句意：这种特殊的紫色染料被称为泰尔紫，它是皇帝们偏爱的颜色。 color颜色；smell气味；plant植物；animal动物。根据“purple dye”可知，此处应填入“颜色”。故选A。 10．句意：在16世纪的英格兰，紫色只供国王的家庭成员使用。 even甚至；never从不；seldom很少；only只。根据“ordinary people were not allowed”可知，紫色仅供国王家庭成员使用。故选D。 11．句意：伊丽莎白一世女王的衣服是紫色的，但是普通人不被允许穿紫色。 to wear穿；wear穿；wearing穿；wears穿。be allowed to do“被允许做某事”，此处应填入“to wear”。故选A。 12．句意：1856年，18岁的科学学生威廉·珀金在做实验时注意到一些奇怪的现象。 geography地理；science科学；art艺术；math数学。根据“experiment”和“chemicals”可知，珀金是科学学生。故选B。 13．句意：他用来清洗仪器的化学物质与实验中使用的化学物质混合，产生了明亮的紫色。 compared比较；mixed混合；collected收集；kept保持。 根据“with the chemicals”可知，化学物质混合在一起。故选B。 14．句意：这一发现促使珀金成立了一家公司，用这种化学混合物制造紫色染料。      survey调查；suggestion建议；discovery发现；exam考试。根据“noticed something strange”可知，这是一个发现。故选C。 15．句意：这种染料比海螺染料便宜得多。 healthier更健康的；thicker更厚的；cheaper更便宜的；darker更深的。根据“now anyone can afford to wear purple clothes”可知，这种染料更便宜。故选C。 Colours Around the World Most people have a favorite colour, but how people feel about colours 1 their culture.
