1句意:他希望他的儿子们能学会不要太快下结论。

slowly缓慢地;quickly快速地;seriously严重地;根据下文这个人让四个儿子不同季节轮番看同一棵梨树,及最后得出的结论,可推测出“他希望他的儿子们能学会不要太快下结论”,所以此处是“quickly”,故选B

2句意:于是他依次问了四个儿子一个问题,让他们在不同的季节去看一棵梨树。

for为;as作为;during在……期间;根据“__2___different seasons.”可知在不同的季节,可推测出此处是“during”,故选C

tell告诉;understand理解;describe描述;根据下文四个儿子对那棵梨树的描绘和形容,可推测出此处是“描述”,故选C

5句意:大儿子说这棵树是又丑又荒凉的。

ugly丑的;beautiful漂亮的;delicious美味的;根据空后“stark”及常识可知,是“丑的”,故选A

6句意:二儿子说,树上挂满了绿色的嫩芽,充满了希望。

difference不同的;hope希望;experience经历;根据“the tree was covered with green buds”可知是树上挂满了绿色的嫩芽,可推测出此处是“希望”,故选B

seemed看上去;felt感觉;smelled闻起来;根据“it was full of flowers.”及“ sweet”,可知是闻起来很香,所以此处是“闻起来”,故选C

8句意:最后一个儿子不同意他们所有人的看法。

first第一;last最后;short短的;根据前面三个儿子讲完了,现在只剩一个儿子,所以此处是最后一个儿子,故选B

9句意:因为每一个儿子只在一个季节里见过这棵树。

every每一的(形容词,不接介词);both两者都;each每个(代词+of);根据“ of them”可知是每一个儿子,所以此处用“each”,故选C

10句意:他告诉他的儿子们,他们不能只根据一个季节来判断一棵树或一个人。

【题目】 Why is pink or purple a color for girls and blue or brown for boys?

The answer depends largely on cultural values as well as personal experiences. To the Egyptians, green was a color that represented the hope and joy of spring, while for Muslims, it means heaven. Red is a symbol of good luck in many cultures. In China, children are given money in a red envelope to bring good fortune in the New Year. For many nations, blue is a symbol of protection and religious beliefs. Greek people often wear a blue necklace hoping to protect themselves against evils (灾祸).

People’s choice of colors is also influenced by their bodies’ reactions (反应) toward them. Green is said to be the most restful color. It has the ability to reduce pain and relax people both mentally and physically. People who work in green environment have been found to have fewer stomachaches.

Red can cause a person’s blood pressure to rise and increase people’s appetites (食欲). Many decorators will include different shades of red in the restaurant. Similarly, many commercial websites will have a red “Buy Now” button because red is a color that easily catches a person’s eye.

Blue is another calming color. Unlike red, blue can cause people to lose appetite. So if you want to eat less, some suggest that eating from blue plates can help.

The next time you are deciding on what to wear or what color to decorate your room, think about the color carefully.
