题文

The fact that blind people can e things using other parts of their bodies apart from their eyes may help us understand our feeling about color. If they n color differences, then perhaps we, too, are affected by color without knowing it.Salesmen have discovered by experience over a long period of time that sugar lls badly in green wrappings（包装）， that blue foods are considered not agreeable to the taste, and that cosmetics（化妆品） should never be packed in brown. Their discoveries have grown into a whole subject of color psychology（心理学）。 Some of our preferences（偏爱） for colors are clearly psychological. Dark blue is the color of the night sky and therefore connected with calm, while yellow is a day color connected with energy and encouragement. Experiments have shown that colors, partly becau they are connected with psychology, also have a direct effect on people’s mind. People in bright red surroundings show an increa in breathing speed, heartbeat and blood pressure; red is exciting. Pure blue has exactly the opposite effect; it is a calming color. Being exciting, red was chon as the signal for danger, but a clo study shows that a bright yellow can produce a more basic state of alarm, so fire engines in some advanced areas are now rushing around in bright yellow colors that stop bus, trucks and cars.小题1:.

解析

试题分析: 颜色对情绪、感觉和思想是否产生影响呢?科学家对这个问题的回答是肯定的。每种颜色在人的脑子里都会引起特殊的反应。譬如,浅蓝色令人产生安详、平和的感觉。在本文中作者通过讲述盲人对于色彩的感受和销售人员发现的颜色影响销售这一事实对颜色和情感进行了分析。小题1:C细节理解题。根据文章第二段 Salesmen have discovered by experience over a long period of time that sugar lls badly in green wrappings（包装），…… and that cosmetics（化妆品） should never be packed in brown.可知销售人员发现颜色会影响销售，答案选C。小题2:A 推理判断题。根据文章第二段内容colors, partly becau they are connected with psychology, also have a direct effect on people’s mind.可知颜色会影响人的心理状态，换句话说对颜色的偏爱取决于人的心境，故答案选A。小题3:D推理判断题。由第二段内容 Pure blue has exactly the opposite effect; it is a calming color.可知纯净的蓝色会让人心情舒畅、平和，是令人神清气爽的色彩，由此判断人们在这样的环境下不会紧张，选D。小题4:B主旨大意题。文章开头通过讲述盲人利用其他感官来感受色彩这一事实，提出了颜色和情感的关系，然后作者介绍了销售人员发现的色彩影响销售这种情况，进一步来论述色彩和情感的关系，由此判断文章中心内容是颜色和情感，故B选项内容可以作为标题。

日常生活类阅读题答题技巧：

【题型说明】该类文章内容涉及到人们的言谈举止、生活习惯、饮食起居、服饰仪表、恋爱婚姻、消遣娱乐、节日起源、家庭生活等。文章篇幅短小，追根溯源，探索各项风俗的历史渊源，内容有趣。命题也以送分题为主，如事实细节题、语义转换题、词义猜测题和简单推理判断题等。虽然这类文章读起来感觉轻松，试题做起来比较顺手，但绝不能掉以轻心。因为稍不留神，就会丢分。 【备考提醒】为了保证较高准确率，建议同学们做好以下几点： 1、保持正常的考试心态。笔者在教学中发现，越是容易的试题，同学们越是容易失分。为什么呢？因为在这种情况下，同学们极易产生麻痹思想，认为题目好做，就不引起高度重视，于是思维不发散、不周密。而命题人就是利用同学们的这一弱点，设计陷阱题。所以，无论试题难易与否，我们都要保持正常的考试心态。试题容易，不欣喜；试题难，不悲观。 2、根据前面讲到的方法，认认真真、细细心心做好事实细节题。 3、做好语义转换题。这类题是根据英语中一词多义和某些词语在文中能表达一定的修辞意义的原则而设计的。要求同学们解释某生词的含义，确定多义词或短语在文中的意思，确认文中的某个代词所指代的对象，或者对英语中特有的表达、格言、谚语进行解释。这种题要求同学们一定要根据上下文猜测词义或理解句子，切不可望文生义。 4、做好简单推理判断题。简单推理判断题要以表面文字为前提，以具体事实为依据进行推理，做出判断。这种推理方式比较直接，只要弄清事实，即可结合常识推断出合理的结论。
