What is your favourite colour? Do you like yellow, orange or red? 71 Do you prefer greys and blues? Then you are probably quiet, shy and would rather follow the lead. You tend to be a pessimist. At least, this is what psychologists tell us, and they should know, because they have been seriously studying the meaning of colour preference, as well as the effect that colours have on human beings. 72 If you happen to love brown, you did so, as soon as you opened you eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly.
73 A yellow room makes most people feel more cheerful and more relaxed than a dark green one. And a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day. 74 A black bridge over the Thames River, near London, used to be the scene of more suicides than any other bridge in the area——until it was repainted green. The number of suicide attempts immediately fell sharply. Perhaps it would have fallen even more if the bridge had been done in pink or baby blue.
75 It is an established fact that factory workers work better, harder, and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black or grey.
A. On the other hand, black is depressing.
B. They tell us, among other facts, that we do not choose our favourite colour as we growup——we are born with our preference.
C. The rooms are painted in different colors as you like.
D. If you do, you must be an optimist, a leader, an active person who enjoys life, people and excitement
E. Light and bright colours make people not only happier but more active.
F. Life is like a picture or a poem, full of different colors.
G. Colours do influence our moods——there is no doubt about it.
D
B
G
A
E
【解析】
試題分析：
D 根據(jù)下一行Then you are probably quiet, shy and would rather follow the lead說明紅色，黃色，橙色是與灰色意義相反的顏色，包含的意義也相反，故D項符合上下文。
B 本段講的是人們對顏色的喜好是天生就有的，并不是后天形成的。故B項符合上下文。
G 根據(jù)下兩句說明顏色對人的情緒的影響是確定無疑的。故G項符合上下文語境。
A 后一句與橫線前一句形成了呼應(yīng)關(guān)系，故A項符合上下文的語境。
E 根據(jù)本段后句說明亮的顏色會有讓人更積極。故E項符合上下文。
考點：考查科普類閱讀
點評：本文講述了顏色對人的情緒的影響，要求考生在上下文語境中根據(jù)串聯(lián)選擇合適的句子進行匹配。
