分析 本文属于说明文阅读,作者通过这篇文章主要向我们描述了喜欢不同的颜色显示出人的不同的个性特征.
解答 36.D.推理判断题.根据下文"Do you prefer greys and blues?Then you are probably quiet,shy,and you would rather follow than lead.You tend to be Pessimist."可知喜欢不同的颜色显示出人的不同的个性特征.鲜艳的颜色表示人是乐观主义者(Optimist),相对于悲观主义者(Pessimist),故选D.
37.B.推理判断题.根据下文"If you do,you are probably quiet,shy,and you would rather follow than lead."可知你可能是一个悲观主义者.故选B.
38.G.推理判断题.本句概括段落大意.根据后面的内容A yellow room makes most people feel more cheerful and more relaxed than a dark green one; and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day,说明了不同的颜色对人产生的不同的影响.G项中"颜色影响人的情绪"符合语境;故选G.
39.A.推理判断题.本段前半部分A yellow room makes most people feel more cheerful and more relaxed than a dark green one; and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day说明"亮色"对人的精神有振奋作用,后面提到的是"暗色"对人的负面影响.所以此处应填入过渡性语句,A项有承上启下作用,且符合后面的语境;故选A.
40.E.推理判断题.本段后面的内容It is an established fact that factory workers work better,harder,and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted bright colors rather than black or grey提到了"亮色"的积极作用.E项刚好能起到总括的作用,符合此处的语境;故选E.
点评 七选五阅读是完成性阅读,和完形填空很类似,不同的是一个选词,一个选句子.解题时,要注意上下文语境,充分考虑信息词(选项中和空格前后句子中相同或相近的词),选出最符合语境的句子.
