Ⅰ颜氏家训.阅读理解
(2019·厦门模拟)Did you know that the color of uniforms can influence the performance of an athlete? It may sound strange，but a study suggests this might be true.
Two British scientists studied the results of four sports in the 2004 Athens Olympic Games where the athletes had been given either a red or a blue uniform.They discovered that when there was a big difference in the score，color had no influence on the result.But if it was a clo match，the athlete in a red uniform was more likely to win.Then they looked at the uniforms of the soccer teams at the Euro 2004 tournament.Again，teams wearing red won more games.
The two scientists got their idea from earlier studies of wild animals.It had been discovered that when a male show red on its body，it nds a signal of its power and strength.For example，in many kinds of monkey，the more the male shows off its red scars，the more f
emales it can attract.
Bad on this fact，the British scientists thought that the idea might work for humans，too.According to them，when an athlete es a competitor in a red uniform，he gets a feeling that his competitor could be stronger than him.And that_kind_of_feeling may have a bad influence on the player's performance in the actual game.
Although the idea is interesting，most people don't accept that color signals in the animals world can really be uful to humans in sports.They think that it is unreasonable to develop an idea bad on such a small number of examples.Much more rearch has to be done to prove the influence of uniform colors on the performance of athletes.
【文章大意】 本文属于科普类文章。科学家研究了西湖游玩攻略2004年雅典奥运会的运动员所穿衣服的颜色，发现当分数差异大，颜色没有影响得分的结果。但如果这是一场势均力敌的比赛，着红色制服的运动员更容易赢得比赛。在动物界中有红色伤疤动物更有权威与力量，更有吸引力，由此认为会对人类的运动有影响，但大多数的人持怀疑的态度。这一点也有待于更多的研究来证明。

A．It is quite strong.
B．It is a failure.
C．It has power over other males.古代女子名字
D．It has attracted a lot of females.
【答案】 A 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“when a male show red on its body，it nds a signal of its power in many kinds of monkey，the more the male shows off its red scars，the more females it can attract”分析可知，当一个男性身上有红色，它就显示出强大的力量及权威性。在许多种类的猴子中，雄性炫耀它的红色伤疤越多，它越能吸引更多的雌性。因此A项(表明强大)，符合题意。故选A。
3．The underlined part “that kind of feeling” in the text refers to a feeling of ________.

4．What is most people's opinion to the scientists' idea?
A．Interested. B．Satisfied.
C．Doubtful. D．Thankful.
【答案】 C 推理判断题。分析最后一段的内容可知，虽然这个想法很有趣，大多数人却不接受在动物世界中的颜色信号真的在人类体育中有用。他们认为基于这样一个小的例子得出的观点是不合理的，还必须做更多的研究来证明颜色影响运动员的表现。由此可知是持怀疑态度的，故选C。
