Question

【题目】阅读理解D
Are you nervous? Maybe you should sit in a blue room. Are you always cold? Maybe you should sit in a room painted in a "warm colour" such as soft orange. Are you often sad? Maybe you should sit in a yellow room. Some researchers believe that colour has the power to influence our feelings. They believe that colours affect(影响)everyone in the same way.
One study was in a workplace. The researchers painted heavy boxes white and light boxes black. They want to see how colour affected the workers' feelings. Which boxes do you think were more difficult to lift? The heavy white ones? No. The white boxes were heavier but they looked light. The researchers think that this is because light colours seem light.
Another study was at school. Researchers at the University of Alberta in Edmonton, Canada, studied children with behaviour problems in their classroom. When the walls were brown and yellow, the children's heart rate went up and they were over-active. However, when the walls were dark blue, the children's heart rate was slower and the children were much calmer. If this is true, we can think carefully about the colours around them--not just in our homes, but also in offices, in schools, in hospitals, in gyms, in museums, in restaurants and even in prisons.

【解析】 本文介绍了不同的颜色对人的情绪会产生不同的影响。并通过两个调查研究加以说明，并建议可以根据颜色对人的情绪的影响我们可以把我们的家，办公室，学校，医院，体育场，博物馆，餐厅甚至是监狱根据需要变换成不同的颜色。
（1）细节理解题。根据第一段中的句子Are you often sad? Maybe you should sit in a yellow room.可知当你情绪低落的时候应该坐在黄颜色的房间里。 A、yellow黄色B、white白色C、black黑色所以答案是A。
（2）细节理解题。根据第二段中的句子The heavy white ones? No. The white boxes were heavier but they looked light. The researchers think that this is because light colours seem light. 可知白色的重箱子却看起来轻A、heavy重的B、light轻的C、cold 冷的，所以答案是B。
（3）细节理解题。They believe that colours affect(影响)everyone in the same way.（研究者相信颜色会以同样的方式影响到每一个人的情绪。）可知答案 A. It’s certain that colours affect everyone in the same way. （颜色会以同样的方式影响到每一个人的情绪是毫无疑问的。）是错误的。根据第二段的叙述我们可以知道颜色只是改变人的感觉而不能改变重量，故C也错，根据第三段最后的句子we can think carefully about the colours around them--not just in our homes, but also in offices, in schools, in hospitals, in gyms, in museums, in restaurants and even in prisons.可知 B. The result of the second study can be widely used. （ 研究的第二个结果可以广泛应用到其他领域。）是正确的，故选择B。
（4）主旨大意题。根据整篇短文的内容我们可以知道这篇短文是叙述颜色是如何影响人的情绪的。A. How Colours Affect Feelings 颜色是如何影响情绪的B. How Colours Affect Children with Behaviour Problems 颜色是如何影响到孩子的行为的C. How Colours are used in Science research 颜色在科学研究领域里的运用。故选择A。
（5）推理判断题。根据短文内容可知，这篇文章不可能是电脑教材和政府工作报告，而是一篇科学性的文章。 A. a computer textbook 电脑教材 B. a government report 政府工作报告 C. a science magazine 科学性杂志，所以答案是C。
