In many offices, people use green plants to make the environment more comfortable. Green is also good for our eyes. When we are tired from looking at the computer screen, looking at something green can help our eyes relax. Yellow is a bright and cheerful color. It is often used to attract attention.

Different colors have different effects on us”，后文分别围绕红、蓝、绿、黄四种颜色，具体阐述每种颜色对情绪的不同影响，始终围绕“不同颜色对情绪有不同影响”展开。故选A。 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 that different colours have different weight in a man’s mind. So he did many tests and at last he got the result. That is to say, every colour has its own weight in our mind and their 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. 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. For example, if you stay in a room with red windows, wallpapers and furniture for two hours, you’ll feel you have been there for four hours. But if the room is blue, you’ll feel you have been there for only an hour. Another example, if a person walks out of a red room and into a blue room, his temperature will fall. That means our body temperature will change with different colours. 1．In people’s mind, different colours have different weight. Orange is heavier than ________. A．blue. B．red. C．green. D．yellow. 2．The purpose of the second paragraph is to tell us _________. A．red box is heavier than a white one. B．White paper is lighter than red paper. C．A colour has weight in one’s mind. D．You can know the weight of a colour by holding it. 3．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. 4．If a person walks from a blue room to a red room, his body temperature will ________. A．rise. B．fall. C．stay the same. D．change now and then. 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．A 4．A 【导语】本文叙述了科学家发现不同的颜色在一个人的心中有不同的重量，颜色也有气味，这是因为每种颜色代表一种具有特定波长的光，它通过感觉器官到达我们的大脑。我们的体温会随着不同的颜色而变化。 1．细节理解题。根据“The heaviest colour is red, then blue, green, orange, yellow and white.”可知，橙色比黄色重，故选D。 2．推理判断题。根据“So he did many tests and at last he got the result. That is to say, every colour has its own weight in our mind and their order is the same.”可知，第二段的目的是告诉我们颜色在人的思想中有重量，故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据“That is because every colour stands for a kind of light with a certain wavelength. It reaches our brain through sense organs (感觉器官).”可知，科学家说颜色有气味是因为人可以感知到颜色发出的光，故选A。 4．推理判断题。根据“Another example, if a person walks out of a red room and into a blue room, his temperature will fall.”可知，如果从蓝色房间走到红色房间，体温会上升，故选A。 根据短文内容，从选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Different colors have different effects on us We are surrounded (环绕) by colors and we use them every day. We use colors which make us feel safe and comfortable to decorate our homes. We dress ourselves and show ourselves to the world in our favorite colors.

It is found that deadly accidents are 12 percent more likely to happen among cars of that color.”可知，白色是安全的颜色，相反，黑色应是最不安全的颜色。选项G“汽车最不安全的颜色是什么？”符合语境。故选G。 5．根据上文“Yellow and red together make you hungry.”可知，黄色和红色放在一起会让人感到饥饿，此处应是跟饮食有关。选项F“研究发现，当人们看到红色和黄色时，会多吃 24% 的食物。”符合语境。故选F。 四、任务型阅读 阅读下面的短文，然后根据短文内容回答问题，每小题答案不超过6个单词。 Dopamine Dressing Have you seen “dopamine (多巴胺) dressing” on your social media? It’s one of the most popular fashion trends for 2023. First created by US fashion psychologist Dawnn Karen in her book Dress Your Best Life in 2020, dopamine dressing—to put it simply—is dressing for joy. Through brightness and purity of colors, the dressing is aimed to create joyful emotions for 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 bring a sense of sadness instead. Learning how colors work, fashion brands have also used colors in different ways. For example, Versace, an Italian brand, added the idea of dopamine dressing to their clothes in 2021.

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 that different colours have different weight in a man’s mind. So he did many tests and at last he got the result. That is to say, every colour has its own weight in our mind and their 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. 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. For example, if you stay in a room with red windows, wallpapers and furniture for two hours, you’ll feel you have been there for four hours. But if the room is blue, you’ll feel you have been there for only an hour. Another example, if a person walks out of a red room and into a blue room, his temperature will fall. That means our body temperature will change with different colours. 1．In people’s mind, different colours have different weight. Orange is heavier than ________. A．blue. B．red. C．green. D．yellow. 2．The purpose of the second paragraph is to tell us _________. A．red box is heavier than a white one. B．White paper is lighter than red paper. C．A colour has weight in one’s mind. D．You can know the weight of a colour by holding it. 3．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. 4．If a person walks from a blue room to a red room, his body temperature will ________. A．rise. B．fall. C．stay the same. D．change now and then. 根据短文内容，从选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Different colors have different effects on us We are surrounded (环绕) by colors and we use them every day.

It’s one of the most popular fashion trends for 2023. First created by US fashion psychologist Dawnn Karen in her book Dress Your Best Life in 2020, dopamine dressing—to put it simply—is dressing for joy. Through brightness and purity of colors, the dressing is aimed to create joyful emotions for 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 bring a sense of sadness instead. Learning how colors work, fashion brands 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 can spread fun and positive energy to the world through fashion.” In the last few years, the pandemic has put everything into question. “Usually, we’re dressing for external factors—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 changes when they wear clothes that show who they really are.” 1．When did the phrase “dopamine dressing” first appear? 2．How does dopamine dressing make people happy? 3．What colors should you avoid if you are sad? 4．Why did Versace add dopamine dressing to their clothes in 2021? 5．What do you think of the dopamine dressing style? 阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题，每个题目的答案不超过5个单词。 Chinese people like the red colour a lot.
