Cool colors such as blue, purple, and green are relaxing colors. They make people feel calm. Many public places are decorated (装饰) with certain colors in order to create certain moods. Orange makes people feel hungry, so many restaurants are painted this colour. People use colors in their homes to create moods as well. Blue is a peaceful colour. It helps you rest, so it is a very good colour for a bedroom. Colors can create bad moods too. Some types of blue make people feel sad. Red can make people feel angry. What is your mood right now?

How many times have your parents told you that you must eat your green vegetables? We all know that green vegetables are healthy, but what about other foods of different colors? You don’t need to like all food, but it is good to have different colors in your diet, for example, red food such as strawberries and tomatoes, yellow food such as bananas and pears, and orange food such as carrots and oranges. But what about the blue food? A few years ago, a food company added the color blue to its bags of sweets. Children like the color blue, so were the blue sweets popular? The food company was surprised to find that they were very unpopular. Children still liked the sweets that have the usual colors of red, green, brown, yellow and orange better. How many blue meats or vegetables do you know? None? There are few natural blue foods—it isn’t a common natural food color. Some scientists say that as a result, our brain doesn’t treat blue food as something healthy. This is why we don’t usually use blue food coloring for drinks, cakes and other food. Some people say we eat with our eyes. The idea is that we need to like the looks of the food before we try it. I wanted to test this idea and so I asked some friends to have a very unusual lunch. My husband and I made some eggs on toast and put blue coloring in them. The result is that nobody ate them. My guests refused to put the blue eggs in their mouths! So will we ever see blue food on our plates? The answer seems to be “no”, at least in countries like the UK and the USA． 根据短文内容回答问题 (每小题答案不超过10个单词)。 1．Do people need to like all food?     2．What colors of sweets did the children like better? 3．Why don’t people usually use blue food coloring for drinks, cakes and other food? 4．How did the writer test the idea that people eat with their eyes? 5．What do you think of blue food? 【答案】1．No./No, they don’t. 2．Red, green, brown, yellow and orange. 3．Because their brain doesn’t treat blue food as something healthy. 4．She asked some friends to have a very unusual lunch./By asking some friends to have a very unusual lunch. 5．I think it’s delicious.

Here are three colors and their meanings in Chinese culture. Red Red is considered as one of the luckiest colors in Chinese culture. In ancient China, the royal (皇室的) family wore bright red. In modern China, red is often seen at celebrations like weddings and festivals. Red also describes someone who is very popular, like a star. You will say “He is red.” Yellow In ancient China, yellow represented power. Only the emperor (皇帝) could wear this color. Yellow was also a natural color. The Yellow River, the second longest river in China, got its name from the yellowish soil in it. Now, when yellow is used in a sentence, it means someone fails and that something doesn’t go as planned. For example, when you ask people how their relationship is going, they might say “huáng le”. It means they’ve broken up. White In ancient China, white was considered as common people’s color. Back then, only the rich could afford to make colorful clothes. Common people couldn’t afford that, so most of their clothes were white. Now people still enjoy white clothes, but they sometimes connect white with bad things. It is connected with scary things like death. 1．Which colour best describes a popular person? 2．What does yellow mean when it is used in a sentence? 3．What colour do you like best? Why? 【答案】1．Red. 2．It means someone fails and that something doesn’t go as planned. 3．I like yellow best because it is the color of wisdom. 【导语】本文主要介绍了在中国文化中的三种颜色及其含义。 1．根据“Red also describes someone who is very popular, like a star.”可知，红色用来形容一个受欢迎的人。故填Red. 2．根据“Now, when yellow is used in a sentence, it means someone fails and that something doesn’t go as planned.”可知，现在，当句子中使用黄色时，这意味着某人失败了并且事情没有按计划进行，因此黄色在句子中表示失败或事情不如意。故填It means someone fails and that something doesn’t go as planned. 3．开放性作答，言之有理即可。参考答案为I like yellow best because it is the color of wisdom.

First created by US fashion psychologist Dawnn Karen in her book Dress Your Best Life in 2020, dopamine dressing is dressing for joy. Through brightness and purity (纯度) of colors, the dressing creates happy feelings in people. Science showed long ago that different colors can affect people. They could make us feel warmer or cooler and also affect our feelings. For example, bright colors can make people feel lively. Colors like black, white and grey may make people upset. Learning how colors work, fashion brands (品牌) have also used colors in different ways. For example, Versace, an Italian brand, added the idea of dopamine dressing to their clothes in 2021. It said this could spread fun and positive energy (正能量) to the world through fashion. In the last few years, the pandemic (疫情) has put everything into question. “Usually, we’re dressing for external factors (外部因素)-the weather, other people and special events. During the pandemic, there was a change. Since no one was around to tell you what to wear, you let yourself find styles that make yourself happy,” Karen told TODAY. Now, many people take this style to fight back bad feelings and show themselves. “I’ve seen people who are very shy put on colorful clothes and become... free,” Karen said. “Their whole mood (心情) changes when they wear clothes that show who they really are.” 回答下面5个问题，每题答案不超过6个词。 1．When did the phrase “dopamine dressing” first come out? 2．How does dopamine dressing make people happy? 3．According to Para.3, what colors should you avoid if you are upset? 4．Why did Versace add dopamine dressing to their clothes in 2021? 5．What do you think of the dopamine dressing style? 【答案】1．In 2020. 2．Through brightness and purity of colors. 3．Black, white and grey. 4．To spread fun and positive energy. 5．wonderful/creative(形容词，言之有理即可). 【导语】本文主要介绍了“多巴胺着装”的时尚趋势。 1．根据“First created by US fashion psychologist Dawnn Karen in her book Dress Your Best Life in 2020, dopamine dressing is dressing for joy.”可知，美国时尚心理学家道恩·卡伦在2020年她的书《打扮你最好的生活》中首次提出多巴胺着装。故填In 2020. 2．根据“Through brightness and purity (纯度) of colors, the dressing creates happy feelings in people.”可知，通过色彩的明亮和纯净，多巴胺服装给人以愉快的感觉。故填Through brightness and purity of colors. 3．根据“Colors like black, white and grey may make people upset.”可知，像黑色、白色和灰色这样的颜色可能会让人心烦。故填Black, white and grey. 4．根据“For example, Versace, an Italian brand, added the idea of dopamine dressing to their clothes in 2021. It said this could spread fun and positive energy (正能量) to the world through fashion”可知，这个品牌表示，这可以通过时尚向世界传播乐趣和正能量。故填To spread fun and positive energy. 5．开放性试题，言之有理即可。根据最后一段内容可知，这里介绍了多巴胺服装能让人有更好的情绪，能让人变得更加自由，因此多巴胺服装是精彩或者有创意的。故填wonderful/creative. 阅读下面的材料，然后根据材料内容回答问题。 Today, if we talk about a color, we only need to use a simple name. For example, “blue” in Chinese is lan. But in ancient China, there were many beautiful names for blue, such as yuebai, qielan and shiqing. Similar to the color wheel developed by Isaac Newton, ancient Chinese people created colors using the idea of pure (纯) colors and mixed colors. There were five pure colors, including qing (blue), chi (red), yellow, white and black. These basic colors can be put together to produce mixed colors. For example, mixing yellow and blue could make green. Lots of colors came into being thanks to this. As for naming, ancient Chinese people paid much attention to the imagination that colors bring. For example, dongfang jibai is a light blue color. The blue color describes what the sky looks like early in the morning. Similarly, the pink color taoyao is used to describe blossoming (开花的) peach trees. The purple color mushanzi describes a sunset covering the mountain. Meanwhile, a color was not just a color, but a symbol of social status (地位) in ancient China. For example, yellow was long seen as the symbol of power. Only the leader of the country and his family could use it. During the Tang Dynasty, officials needed to wear clothes with certain colors. Only officials of the top three grades were allowed to wear purple clothes, while those of the fourth and fifth wore red clothes, the sixth and seventh officials wore green clothes. Blue was for those in the two lowest grades. The colors that the ancients left us can be seen in society today. Nowadays, some TV programs present traditional Chinese colors in clothes and buildings, which excite (引起) people’s interest in ancient colors. 1．What other names did blue have in ancient China besides lan? 2．How did people create the color green by using the pure colors? 3．What does the color mushanzi describe? 4．Who could wear the color purple in ancient China? 5．Why do some TV programs present traditional Chinese colors in clothes and buildings? 【答案】1．Yuebai, qielan and shiqing. 2．By mixing yellow and blue./Mixing yellow and blue could make green. 3．The sunset covering the mountain. 4．Only officials of the top three grades. 5．To excite people’s interest in ancient colors. 【导语】本文主要介绍了中国传统文化中对颜色的认知，重点介绍了对颜色的命名、颜色在社会地位方面的象征意义及如今人们对颜色文化的传承。 1．根据“But in ancient China, there were many beautiful names for blue, such as yuebai, qielan and shiqing.”可知中国古代蓝色的其他名字有月白、伽蓝和石青。故填Yuebai, qielan and shiqing. 2．根据“For example, mixing yellow and blue could make green.”可知把黄色和蓝色混起来能得到绿色。故填By mixing yellow and blue./Mixing yellow and blue could make green. 3．根据“The purple color mushanzi describes a sunset covering the mountain.”可知暮山紫描述夕阳笼罩着整座山。故填The sunset covering the mountain. 4．根据“Only officials of the top three grades were allowed to wear purple clothes”可知只有三品以上的官员被允许穿紫色衣服。故填Only officials of the top three grades. 5．根据“Nowadays, some TV programs present traditional Chinese colors in clothes and buildings, which excite people’s interest in ancient colors.”可知一些电视节目在服装和建筑上呈现中国传统色彩是为了激发人们对古代色彩的兴趣。故填To excite people’s interest in ancient colors. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ Unit 2 Colours 单元话题阅读回答问题练习 Unit 2 Colours 单元话题：颜色 本资料共10篇专题训练，从上到下依次按照难度分为基础语篇巩固练和重难语篇提升练 基础语篇巩固练 阅读下面短文，简略回答问题。 People would like to wear clothes and shoes with popular colors.

You don’t need to like all food, but it is good to have different colors in your diet, for example, red food such as strawberries and tomatoes, yellow food such as bananas and pears, and orange food such as carrots and oranges. But what about the blue food? A few years ago, a food company added the color blue to its bags of sweets. Children like the color blue, so were the blue sweets popular? The food company was surprised to find that they were very unpopular. Children still liked the sweets that have the usual colors of red, green, brown, yellow and orange better. How many blue meats or vegetables do you know? None? There are few natural blue foods—it isn’t a common natural food color. Some scientists say that as a result, our brain doesn’t treat blue food as something healthy. This is why we don’t usually use blue food coloring for drinks, cakes and other food. Some people say we eat with our eyes. The idea is that we need to like the looks of the food before we try it. I wanted to test this idea and so I asked some friends to have a very unusual lunch.

Here are three colors and their meanings in Chinese culture. Red Red is considered as one of the luckiest colors in Chinese culture. In ancient China, the royal (皇室的) family wore bright red. In modern China, red is often seen at celebrations like weddings and festivals. Red also describes someone who is very popular, like a star. You will say “He is red.” Yellow In ancient China, yellow represented power. Only the emperor (皇帝) could wear this color. Yellow was also a natural color. The Yellow River, the second longest river in China, got its name from the yellowish soil in it. Now, when yellow is used in a sentence, it means someone fails and that something doesn’t go as planned. For example, when you ask people how their relationship is going, they might say “huáng le”. It means they’ve broken up. White In ancient China, white was considered as common people’s color. Back then, only the rich could afford to make colorful clothes. Common people couldn’t afford that, so most of their clothes were white. Now people still enjoy white clothes, but they sometimes connect white with bad things. It is connected with scary things like death. 1．Which colour best describes a popular person? 2．What does yellow mean when it is used in a sentence? 3．What colour do you like best? Why?

First created by US fashion psychologist Dawnn Karen in her book Dress Your Best Life in 2020, dopamine dressing is dressing for joy. Through brightness and purity (纯度) of colors, the dressing creates happy feelings in people. Science showed long ago that different colors can affect people. They could make us feel warmer or cooler and also affect our feelings. For example, bright colors can make people feel lively. Colors like black, white and grey may make people upset. Learning how colors work, fashion brands (品牌) have also used colors in different ways. For example, Versace, an Italian brand, added the idea of dopamine dressing to their clothes in 2021. It said this could spread fun and positive energy (正能量) to the world through fashion. In the last few years, the pandemic (疫情) has put everything into question. “Usually, we’re dressing for external factors (外部因素)-the weather, other people and special events. During the pandemic, there was a change. Since no one was around to tell you what to wear, you let yourself find styles that make yourself happy,” Karen told TODAY. Now, many people take this style to fight back bad feelings and show themselves. “I’ve seen people who are very shy put on colorful clothes and become... free,” Karen said. “Their whole mood (心情) changes when they wear clothes that show who they really are.” 回答下面5个问题，每题答案不超过6个词。 1．When did the phrase “dopamine dressing” first come out? 2．How does dopamine dressing make people happy? 3．According to Para.3, what colors should you avoid if you are upset? 4．Why did Versace add dopamine dressing to their clothes in 2021? 5．What do you think of the dopamine dressing style? 阅读下面的材料，然后根据材料内容回答问题。 Today, if we talk about a color, we only need to use a simple name. For example, “blue” in Chinese is lan. But in ancient China, there were many beautiful names for blue, such as yuebai, qielan and shiqing. Similar to the color wheel developed by Isaac Newton, ancient Chinese people created colors using the idea of pure (纯) colors and mixed colors. There were five pure colors, including qing (blue), chi (red), yellow, white and black. These basic colors can be put together to produce mixed colors. For example, mixing yellow and blue could make green. Lots of colors came into being thanks to this. As for naming, ancient Chinese people paid much attention to the imagination that colors bring. For example, dongfang jibai is a light blue color. The blue color describes what the sky looks like early in the morning. Similarly, the pink color taoyao is used to describe blossoming (开花的) peach trees. The purple color mushanzi describes a sunset covering the mountain. Meanwhile, a color was not just a color, but a symbol of social status (地位) in ancient China. For example, yellow was long seen as the symbol of power. Only the leader of the country and his family could use it. During the Tang Dynasty, officials needed to wear clothes with certain colors. Only officials of the top three grades were allowed to wear purple clothes, while those of the fourth and fifth wore red clothes, the sixth and seventh officials wore green clothes. Blue was for those in the two lowest grades. The colors that the ancients left us can be seen in society today. Nowadays, some TV programs present traditional Chinese colors in clothes and buildings, which excite (引起) people’s interest in ancient colors. 1．What other names did blue have in ancient China besides lan? 2．How did people create the color green by using the pure colors? 3．What does the color mushanzi describe? 4．Who could wear the color purple in ancient China? 5．Why do some TV programs present traditional Chinese colors in clothes and buildings? 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
