3.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 means the hope and joy of spring,while for Muslims,it means heaven.Red stands for 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 stands for protection.Greek people often wear a blue necklace hoping to protect themselves from bad people or bad things happening.
People's choice of colors is also influenced by their bodies'reactions (反應) toward them.Green is said to be the most restful color.It has the ability to cut down pain and relax people both mentally and physically.People who work in green environment have been found to have fewer stomachaches.
Red can cause a person's blood pressure (血壓) to rise and increase people's appetites (食欲).Many designers will include different shades of red in restaurants.Similarly,some websites will have a red"Buy Now"button because red is a color that easily catches a person's eyes.
Blue is another color which can make you feel peacefully.Unlike red,blue can cause people to lose appetite.So if you want to eat less,some 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.

44.To the Egyptians,green meansB.
A.good luck                            
B.joy of spring
C.heaven                              
D.protection
45.We can learn from Paragraph 3that green canC.
A.cause more stomachaches
B.easily catch a person's eyes
C.cut down pain and relax people
D.make people's blood pressure rise
46.Why will some websites have a red"Buy Now"button?D
A.To help people relaxed.
B.To bring people good luck.
C.To make people feel peaceful.
D.To encourage people to buy the things.
47.What color might help lose weight according to the text?C
A.Red.

分析 文章介紹了為什么粉色或紫色代表女孩而藍色或棕色代表男孩的由來.顏色的象征意思和文化以及個人經(jīng)驗有關,不同的文化對顏色的解讀不一樣.顏色的選擇還和人們身體對它的反應有關,綠色最讓人放松,有減輕疼痛的能力;紅色可以讓人血壓升高增進食欲;藍色可以讓人平靜,但會降低食欲.如果你想少吃點,不妨用藍色的盤子裝食物.

解答 44.B.細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)To the Egyptians,green is a color that means the hope and joy of spring,可知,對于埃及人,綠色代表了希望和春天的喜悅,因此答案為B.joy of spring
45.C.細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第三段的內容,主要講的就是綠色,根據(jù)Green is said to be the most restful color.It has the ability to cut down pain and relax people both mentally and physically.People who work in green environment have been found to have fewer stomachaches.可知,綠色能夠減輕痛苦,使人在精神上和肉體上放松,在綠色環(huán)境中工作的人會少會胃疼,因此可知,綠色的主要作用就是減輕疼痛并使人放松,即C.cut down pain and relax people
46.D.細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)buy now將定位于文章中的第四段,主要講的是紅色,根據(jù)Similarly,some websites will have a red"Buy Now"button because red is a color that easily catches a person's eyes.可知,一些網(wǎng)站立即購買按鈕是紅色的,原因是紅色更吸引人的眼球,因此答案為D.To encourage people to buy the things.
47.C.細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段So if you want to eat less,some suggest that eating from blue plates can help.可知,如果你希望吃的少一點,你可以選用藍色的盤子,因此答案為C.Blue.

點評 本文是一篇科普類文章.做題時要在理解好文意的基礎上,與題目有機的結合,從文章中找到相關細節(jié)性的句子與選項細細比對,進行選擇或推理判斷,選出符合文章內容的正確選項.做題注意靈活,有時可采用排除法或直選法確定出最終答案.

The school isn't completely paperless,however.It has a library,and students can read books in it.
"We're not trying to get rid of books,"Baker said."We love books."

13.I was twenty years old,and my parents were looking forward to the day when I would be earning my own living.Unfortunately,I had absolutely no idea what I wanted my future occupation to be.The only thing I did know was that I did not want to spend the next 45 years teaching,being a nurse or sitting in an office.
But that was before the postman delivered a catalogue (目錄) of courses that were being offered at the local college.As I looked through it,I was attracted by a page that talked about the difficulties faced by deaf people in their everyday lives and how students could help by learning sign language.It went on to say that graduates of the course usually find work in different organizations,such as law companies,the Stock Exchange,insurance companies and banks.Then I saw something that really caught my eye:"Singer"are also needed for sporting events,concerts,theatrical performances and,believe it or not,circuses!By the time I got to the bottom of the page,I knew I had found the perfect occupation.
I enrolled (注冊) on the course,which to my parents'great delight was free of charge.The course was brilliant.My favourite part was the final lesson,when our teacher asked us to sign our favourite song.It was really difficult because not only did we have to sign the words,but we also had to find a way of showing whether the song was happy or sad and whether the beat was slow or fast.It was the hardest thing I have ever done-but also the most rewarding.
