Question

【題目】 What colors do you like, red, green or blue? In fact, colors not only affect (影響) our lives but are widely used in our language.

For example, if a man has “a green thumb( 拇 指 ）,” he must be very good at gardening（栽培花木）. He surely has a beautiful garden（花園）. If a person is “feeling blue”, that means he is unhappy and sad. We need to cheer him up. And did you ever tell a “white lie（謊言）”? If you want to tell your friend bad news but don’t want to hurt his feelings, you can tell him a white lie.

See? Colors are often used in our language. Don’t you think they are interesting?

However, people who are color-blind can’t see the difference between one color and another. For example, red, green and yellow may look like gray (灰色的) to them. Some of them may see red as green, and others may see blue as yellow. It is quite inconvenient because they can’t see the right colors of the traffic lights, so they can’t drive cars. They also have problems using computers.

Parents may notice their child is color-blind when the child is learning the colors. They can use color-blindness tests, along with other eye tests, to check their child’s eyes.

【解析】

這篇短文中給我們介紹的是生活中的顏色。每個(gè)人都有自己喜歡的顏色，顏色也常用在英語(yǔ)的語(yǔ)言中。但有一些人不能分辨顏色，他們患有色盲。

【1】推理判斷題。題干意為“我喜歡植物和照看我的花園”。A“我很傷心”；B“我是色盲”；C“我說(shuō)了一個(gè)善意的謊言”；D“我擅長(zhǎng)栽培樹(shù)木”。因此D選項(xiàng)符合語(yǔ)境，故選D。

【2】推理判斷題。根據(jù)短文第二段“And did you ever tell a “white lie（謊言）”? If you want to tell your friend bad news but don’t want to hurt his feelings, you can tell him a white lie.”可知，a white lie指的是為了不傷害別人，而說(shuō)的善意的謊言。根據(jù)題意C選項(xiàng)“我不想她為我擔(dān)心”，這符合文意。故選C。

【3】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段“It is quite inconvenient because they can’t see the right colors of the traffic lights, so they can’t drive cars.”可知，色盲的人不能開(kāi)車(chē)，C選項(xiàng)不符合文意，故選C。根據(jù)短文第四段“However, people who are color-blind can’t see the difference between one color and another. For example, red, green and yellow may look like gray (灰色的) to them. They also have problems using computers.”可知A、B和D三個(gè)選項(xiàng)都符合文意。

【4】詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)語(yǔ)境“It is quite inconvenient because they can’t see the right colors of the traffic lights, so they can’t drive cars. They also have problems using computers.”“那是……的，因?yàn)樗麄兛床坏浇煌�燈的顏色，所以他們不能開(kāi)車(chē)”。結(jié)合常識(shí)可知，如果看不到交通燈的顏色，那么開(kāi)車(chē)是不方便的。故選A。

【5】主旨大意題。根據(jù)文意“In fact, colors not only affect (影響) our lives but are widely used in our language…. However, people who are color-blind can’t see the difference between one color and another.”可知，文章中介紹了與顏色有關(guān)的知識(shí)。故選A。

這是一篇說(shuō)明文，短文介紹了與顏色有關(guān)的知識(shí)。文章內(nèi)容貼近日常生活，比較容易理解。短文中講述的知識(shí)也非常有趣，學(xué)生們?nèi)菀桌斫�。題型是閱讀理解，考查學(xué)生們閱讀短文獲取文章大意、理解具體細(xì)節(jié)信息、猜測(cè)生詞含義以及進(jìn)行合理的推測(cè)和判斷的能力。這個(gè)題目中設(shè)置了推理判斷、詞義猜測(cè)和主旨大意，做題時(shí)，先通讀短文，了解文章大意；然后根據(jù)題目所問(wèn)，利用關(guān)鍵詞信息，鎖定文章相關(guān)段落或語(yǔ)句，比對(duì)選項(xiàng)進(jìn)行選擇。如第4小題，這是一個(gè)猜測(cè)單詞意思的題目，做題時(shí)應(yīng)將單詞放在具體語(yǔ)境中，結(jié)合生活常識(shí)，如果是色盲，不能分辨交通燈的顏色，那么開(kāi)車(chē)是很不方便的。
