Question

18．Competitors who wear red win more than those that are dressed in any other color，according to study in Germany．
（36）EExperts believe that red could make individuals and teams feel more confident as well as being perceived by others as more aggressive．
（37）F On the other hand，the results could suggest that the success of those teams has given those that wear the red color more confident．
The study，by German sports psychologists at the University of Munster，was reported in New Scientist magazine．They showed video recording of taekwondo matches to 42 experienced referees．One fighter wore blue and the other wore red．They then showed them the same recordings but digitally manipulated the clothing to exchange the colors．（38）B"If one competitor is strong and the other is weak，it won't change the outcome of the fight，"said Norbert Hagemann，who led the study．"（39）G"
In 2004 scientists at Durham University also looked at how color influenced sporting competitiveness．They analyzed Olympic contest sports such as boxing，taekwondo，and freestyle wrestling and found that nearly 55% of which were won by the competitor in red．
"（40）D"said Robert Burton，one of the researchers．

A．It is the color of fire and is often associated with energy，danger，strength，power，and determination．
B．The fighters wearing red were given an average of 13percent more points than when they wore blue．
C．The study shows that football shirts from worldwide teams such as Arsenal，Liverpool，sell successfully．
D．It is reasonable that wearing red makes individuals feel more confident，although this hasn't yet been tested．
E．Researchers found that those who wear red tops，jackets or clothing score 10percent more in any competition than if they were in another color．
F．The findings could explain why Manchester United，Liverpool and Arsenal have been so successful．
G．But the closer the levels，the easier it is for the color to tip the scale．

分析 本文講述了紅色可以讓運(yùn)動(dòng)員更有信心，更容易獲勝．

解答 EFBGD
36．E 細(xì)節(jié)題．根據(jù)Experts believe that red could make individuals and teams feel more confident as well as being perceived by others as more aggressive，可知，專(zhuān)家認(rèn)為紅色能使人更自信，以及被其他人認(rèn)為更有進(jìn)攻性，故選E．
37．F 細(xì)節(jié)題．根據(jù)On the other hand，the results could suggest that the success of those teams has given those that wear the red color more confidence．可知，另外一方面，結(jié)果表明那些隊(duì)的成功給穿紅色衣服的隊(duì)伍更多的自信，所以該句可以解釋為什么 Manchester United，Liverpool and Arsenal 一直都很成功，故選F．
38．B 細(xì)節(jié)題．根據(jù)One fighter wore blue and the other wore red．They then showed them the same recordings but digitally manipulated（操縱） the clothing to exchange the colors．可知，穿紅色的隊(duì)員比穿藍(lán)色的要高出13%的得分，故選B．
39．G 細(xì)節(jié)題．根據(jù)"If one competitor is strong and the other is weak，it won't change the outcome of the fight，"said Norbert Hagemann，who led the study．對(duì)于兩個(gè)實(shí)力懸殊較大的選手，結(jié)果不會(huì)改變，但是如果成績(jī)差不多，衣服的顏色可能會(huì)改變結(jié)果，故選G．
40．D 細(xì)節(jié)題．根據(jù)They analyzed Olympic contest sports such as boxing，tawkwondo，and freestyle wrestling and found that nearly 55 percent of which were won by the competitor in red．可知，通過(guò)對(duì)奧運(yùn)會(huì)比賽的分析可知，幾乎55%的獲勝都是穿紅色戰(zhàn)服的，因?yàn)樽屓烁�自信，故選D．

點(diǎn)評(píng) 在答題中，應(yīng)首先略讀一下對(duì)話(huà)，了解一下對(duì)話(huà)的大致意思，然后把幾個(gè)選項(xiàng)含義理解透，尤其注意意思相近，表達(dá)有交叉的選項(xiàng)之間的區(qū)別．然后再細(xì)讀短文，把答案填入合適位置．答題時(shí)可以把含義相近的幾個(gè)選項(xiàng)輪流填入同一處位置，反復(fù)閱讀，反復(fù)體會(huì)，找出最佳選項(xiàng)，對(duì)于實(shí)在沒(méi)有把握的小題可以留待最后完成．完成短文后，再認(rèn)真通讀一遍全文，看看上下語(yǔ)意是否通順，是否符合邏輯關(guān)系．
