文章是一篇童话故事。不同的颜色互不服气，都认为自己最重要。但在一次下雨中它们通过互相合作才形成了美丽的彩虹。它们明白了一个道理：大家都重要，但只有合作才能制造出美丽的彩虹。
1.D由上文代表"草、树、叶"推测可知：没有我,其他的动物就会死亡。
2.A与下文的"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"没有我的和平宁静,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sad?ness ,depression，anxiety 表示"消极"之意。
6.D橘黄色在平时不多见,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橘黄色。
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,来表示除自己之外的所有的其他颜色。
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他颜色没有的，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 an-other。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。
