解析:
这是一篇富有哲理的记叙文。绿色象征生命，红色象征热情，黄色是收获之色……，颜色之间也要一争高下，比比谁更重要。斑斓世界，五颜六色，一个也不能少。看那雨后的彩虹，也许你会因此而相信唯有手拉手，肩并肩，才能创造出美丽和希望。热爱自己，珍惜他人，明天更美好。
1．D 由上文代表“草、树、叶”推测可知：没有我，其它的动物就会死亡。
2．A 由下文的“天空和海洋”相对比，结合上文所谈及的“草、树、叶”可知，此处指“陆地”。
3．C 此处是强调句型，只能用it is。
4．B 此处与第一段的最后一句有异曲同工的作用，意为：没有我的润滑，你们全都没有（即：死亡）。
5．A 此处所填单词，应与前面的laughter, fun是同类型的词，表示积极向上的词，而sadness，depression，anxiety则表示“消极”之意。
6．D 桔黄色在平时不多见，结合下文只有在太阳升起或落下时出现，因此用scarce表示“稀少，不常见”。
7．C 由常识可知，只有在太阳升起或落下时出现桔黄色。
8．C 此上文“我的美丽如此迷人”推断下文“当我出现时，没有人会想起你们的”。give thought to想起，注意。
9．D 由下文shouted out可知，红色再也忍不住了，no longer表示“不再”。
10．B 由上文bravery可知，此处意义为：我愿意为真理而斗争。fight for“为……而战”。
11．A 由上文各种颜色的讲话内容及此句中的boasting（夸耀）可知，它们都在吹嘘自己的优点或优势（superiority）。
12．C 由谓语动词“倾盆而下（pour down）”可知，副词用violently，来表示“猛烈、激烈”。
13．B 由谓语“蜷缩 （crouched down）”及下文“互相缩成一团”可知：它们处于“恐惧之中”。
14．A amongst常用于书面语中，其意义等于among。
15．D 句中的动词dominate是“优于，超出”，根据上文的内容，他们极力说自己的优点，想超出对方，因此用the rest，来表示除自己之处的所有的其它颜色。
16．D 由for a special purpose可知，各种颜色都有自己的特殊的用途，它们所具有的特点都是其它颜色没有的，因此用unique and different来表示“独特的和与众不同的”。
17．C 此处表示三者以上的“互相”，用one another。意为：大家手拉手。
18．C 由下文joined hands可知，它们“团结一心”。
19．B 此处是拟人说法，wash有“冲洗”之意。意为：一场大雨之后。
20．A 它们互相合作，形成了美丽的彩虹，如果没有大家的配合，是不可能形成彩虹的。因此这种美丽是大家协作的结晶，所以它们都“感激，感谢”对方的参与。
