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 little 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 and 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(家具) 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.

A. Different colours have different weights in a man’s mind.

【3】What will happen when you get into a cool coloured room from a warm coloured room?

A. You will feel excited. B. You will be happy and contented.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】 D

【2】 D

【3】 C

【解析】

文章大意：自然有许多颜色。科学家发现不同的颜色在人的头脑中有着不同的重量。也就是说，每一种颜色都有自己的重量。最重的颜色是红色，然后是蓝色、绿色、橙色、黄色和白色。科学家告诉我们，颜色也有气味。但不能闻到这种颜色。人们感觉颜色有气味是因为每种颜色代表一种有特定波长的光而已；但人们可以接受自己喜欢的颜色，充分利用自己喜欢的颜色。

【1】细节理解题。根据文中的句子根据第三段中The heaviest colour is red, then blue, green, orange, yellow and white.在人的头脑中最重的颜色是红色，然后是蓝色、绿色、橙色、黄色和白色。可知白色在人的心目中是最轻的，故答案选D。

【2】理解判断题。根据第三段中That is to say, every colour has its own weight in our mind. The heaviest colour is red, then blue, green, orange, yellow and white. . The scientists told us that colours also have smell. Can you smell the colour?
