Question

【题目】 There are many colours in nature. But do you know that a colour has weight? I think you'll say“no”. But I am afraid you are wrong. If you don't believe, you may do a small experiment（实验）.

First, put two objects with the same weight into two boxes. Then cover the boxes. Wrap（包裹） one box with a red piece of paper, the other with a white piece of paper. Now hold the boxes with your hand one by one. It is certain that you will think the red one is a lttle heavier.

Why does it happen? A scientist found that different colours have different weight in a man's mind. So he did many tests and at last he got the result. That is to say, every colour has its .own weight in our mind. The heaviest colour is red, then blue, green, orange, yellow an.d white. The scientists told us that colours also have smell. Can you smell the colour? Of course not. Then why did the scientists say so? That is because every colour represents a kind of light wave（光波）— a certain wavelength（波长）. It reaches our brain（大脑） through organs（感觉器官）

According to this discovery, scientists say that people accept the colour they like, and refuse the colour they hate. So your body and mind will be healthy by using the colours you like. Or you'll be nervous or even get ill. If you stay in a room with red windows, wallpapers and furniture for two hours, you'll feel you have been there for four hours. But if the room is blue, you'll feel you have been there for only one hour. Another example, if a person walks out of a red room and into a blue room, his temperature will fall. That means our body temperature will change when we see different colours.

【1】Which is the lightest colour in a man's mind?

A.RedB.BlueC.GreenD.White

【2】Which of the following is NOT true?

A.Different colors have different weights in a man's mind.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】D

【2】D

【3】A

【解析】

科学家发现不同的颜色在一个人的头脑中有不同的分量，那是因为每一种颜色都显示一种光波，它通过感觉器官到达我们的大脑造成的；人们接受自己喜欢的颜色，拒绝讨厌的颜色，所以，使用喜欢自己的颜色，身心才会健康。

【1】细节理解题。根据第三段“The heaviest colour is red, then blue, green, orange, yellow and white.”，可知“白色是一个人头脑中最轻的颜色”；故选D 。

【2】推理判断题。根据第三段“A scientist found that different colours have different weight in a man's mind.”可知“不同的颜色在一个人的头脑中有不同的重量。”，所以A表述正确；“The heaviest colour is red, then blue, green, orange, yellow and white. ”，可知“蓝色是人们心目中第二重的颜色”所以B表述正确；“Can you smell the colour? Of course not.”，可知 “人们不能闻出颜色”，所以C表述正确；根据第四段“your body and mind will be healthy by using the colours you like.”，可知“使用你喜欢的颜色，你的身心会健康的”，所以D表述错误；故选D。

【3】推理判断题。根据第四段“If you stay in a room with red windows, wallpapers and furniture for two hours, you'll feel you have been there for four hours.”，可知“如果在一个有红色窗户，墙纸和家具的房间里呆了两个小时，你会觉得你在那儿呆了四个小时”；由此推断“如果你在充满红色的屋子里呆一个小时，你会感觉在那呆2个小时”，故选 A。

本篇阅读单选考查细节理解、推理判断能力。题1可以在原文中找到包含题干的信息作答；题2要根据文本信息排除表述正确的选项A、B、C；题3 要根据文本信息“在红色的环境中呆2小时感觉呆4小时”，推断题干“在红色的环境中呆1小时感觉呆2小时”。
