With?out me all animals would 1      " Blue interrupted, "You only think about the 2       ，but consider the sky and the sea. 3       the water that is the basis of life and drawn up by the clouds from the deep sea. Without my peace you would all be 4      .”

Yellow chuckled (笑道) ，"You are all so serious. I bring laughter fun and 5       into the world."

Orange started next to blow her trumpet, "I am the color of health and strength. I may be 6       but I am precious for I serve the needs of human life. When I fill the sky 7       ，my beauty is so striking that no one gives another 8       to any of you.”

Red could stand it 9       and he shouted out, "I am the ruler of all of you. I am the color of danger and of bravery. I am willing to 10       truth. I am also the color of passion and love.”

Then came Purple and Indigo(深藍) .…

文章是一篇童話故事。不同的顏色互不服氣，都認為自己最重要。但在一次下雨中它們通過互相合作才形成了美麗的彩虹。它們明白了一個道理：大家都重要，但只有合作才能制造出美麗的彩虹。

1.D由上文代表"草、樹、葉"推測可知：沒有我,其他的動物就會死亡。

2.A與下文的"天空和海洋"相對比，結合上文所談及的"草、樹、葉"可知，此處指"陸地"。

3.C此處是強調(diào)句型，只能用it is。

4.B此處與第一段的最后一句有異曲同工的作用，意為"沒有我的和平寧靜,你們?nèi)�都沒有"(即：死亡) 。

5.A此處所填單詞，應與前面的laughter fun 是同類型的詞，表示積極向上的詞，而sad?ness ,depression，anxiety 表示"消極"之意。

6.D橘黃色在平時不多見,結合下文只有在太陽升起或落下時出現(xiàn)，因此用scarce表示"稀少，不常見

7.C由常識可知，只有在太陽升起或落下時出現(xiàn)橘黃色。

8.C此上文"我的美麗如此迷人"推斷下文"當我出現(xiàn)時，沒有人會想起你們的"。give thought to想起，注意。

9.D由下文shouted out可知，紅色再也忍不住了，no longer表示"不再"。

10.B由上文bravery可知，此處意義為：我愿意為真理而斗爭。fight for"為……而戰(zhàn)"。

11..A由上文各種顏色的講話內(nèi)容及此句中的boasting(夸耀) 可知，它們都在吹噓自己的優(yōu)點或優(yōu)勢(superiority) 。

12.C由謂語動詞"傾盆而下(pour down) "可知，副詞用violently,來表示"猛烈、激烈"。

13.B由謂語"蜷縮(crouched down) "及下文"互相縮成一團"可知：它們處于"恐懼之中"。

14.A amongst常用于書面語中，其意義等于among.

15.D句中的動詞dominate是"優(yōu)于，超出"，根據(jù)上文的內(nèi)容，他們極力說自己的優(yōu)點，想超出對方，因此用the rest,來表示除自己之外的所有的其他顏色。

16.D由for a special purpose可知，各種顏色都有自己的特殊的用途,它們所具有的特點都是其他顏色沒有的，因此用unique and different來表示"獨特的和與眾不同的"。

17.C此處表示三者以上的"互相"，用one an-other。意為：大家手拉手。

18.C由下文joined hands可知，它們"團結一心"。

19.B此處是擬人說法，wash有"沖洗"之意。意為：一場大雨之后。

20.A它們互相合作，形成了美麗的彩虹，如果沒有大家的配合,是不可能形成彩虹的。因此這種美麗是大家協(xié)作的結晶，所以它們都"感激,感謝"對方的參與。
