题目内容
10.In general,people talk about two groups of colors:warm colors and cool colors.Researchers in psychology think that there are also two groups of people:people who prefer warm colors and people who prefer cool colors.The warm colors are red,orange and yellow.Where there are warm colors and a lot of light,people usually want to be active.People think that red,for example,is exciting.Sociable people,those who like to be with others,like red.The cool colors are green,blue and violet.These colors,unlike warm colors,are relaxing.Where there are cool colors,people are usually quiet.People who like to spend time alone often prefer blue.
Red may be exciting,but one researcher says that time seems to pass more slowly in a room with warm colors than in a room with cool colors.He suggests that a warm color,such as red or orange is a good color for a living room or restaurant.People who are relaxing or eating do not want time to pass quickly.Cool colors are better for offices or factories if the people who are working there want time to pass quickly.Researchers do not know why people think some colors are warm and other colors are cool.
However,almost everyone agrees that red,orange,and yellow are warm and that green,blue,and violet are cool.Perhaps warm colors remind people of warm days and the cool colors remind them of cool days.Because in the north the sun is higher during summer,the hot summer sunlight appears yellow.
29.Which of the following colors belong to cool colors?A
A.Blue,violet
B.Yellow,green
C.Black,blue.
D.Brown,white
30.Which of the following statements is not true?C
A.Sociable people like warm colors.
B.Warm colors can make people excited.
C.People who like to be with others don't like red.

31.Which is the right color for different rooms?B

32.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?D

In 2004,David Cohen had an idea for a social network for mobile phones that would connect users in the real world.His company,called iContact,launched a beta version ( 测试版 ),and seemed ready to tap the muchpublicized mobile software market.Cohen,then 36,had already founded a successful software company. (51)C,after 18 months,he was unable to get phone carriersto distribute his software,and he closed the company.
Bets on mobile applications didn't begin to (52)D until Apple's iPhone app storeopened the market in 2008.
Conventional (53)B says being first to market creates a competitive advantage.Reality is more complicated.Market opportunities are (54)C opening and closing,and a hit idea at one point could be a failure a year earlier or a yawning"me too"business a year later.It's tough---likely (55)A---to identify the best moment to enter a market,but common sense dictates new entrepreneurs ( 创业人 ) can improve their odds ( 机会 ) if they (56)C how much they bearto gain or lose by waiting.

The key to the academics'findings on timing is this:In a hostile learning environment,entrepreneurs gain relatively (61)C benefit by watching others.For example,if the relevant knowledge is (62)Bintellectual property,studying the market before entering wouldn't yield much advantage.In these situations,the trade-off ( 权衡利弊 ) (63)A entering early.But in less hostile learning environments,where entrepreneurs gain valuable information (64)Bto increase their success just by watching other companies,companies benefit from waiting and learning lessons from earlier players.IContact's successors,for example,may have learned from watching the company's trouble in getting mobile networks to distribute their software,a barrier that was (65)D by the iPhone's app store.
