參考答案1．C2．B3．A4．D【導(dǎo)語(yǔ)】本文是一篇說(shuō)明文。文章主要介紹研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，人們對(duì)顏色的偏愛(ài)隨時(shí)間而變化，并且與我們的經(jīng)歷相關(guān)。1．詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)第二段“DuringthestudyconductedbypsychologyprofessorKarenSchlossattheUniversityofWisconsinin2019,theresearchersinvestigatedthescienceofhowdifferentpeopleperceivecolour.Theynotedthatsubjectswithapreferenceforasportsteamfoundtheirfavouriteteam’scoloursmorefavourable.Themoretheyvaluedtheirteam,themoretheyfavouredthespecificcolour.(威斯康星大學(xué)心理學(xué)教授凱倫·施洛斯2019年進(jìn)行的一項(xiàng)研究中，研究人員調(diào)查了不同人如何感知顏色的科學(xué)。他們注意到，對(duì)運(yùn)動(dòng)隊(duì)有偏好的受試者發(fā)現(xiàn)他們最喜歡的運(yùn)動(dòng)隊(duì)的顏色更受歡迎。他們?cè)娇粗刈约旱膱F(tuán)隊(duì)，就越喜歡特定的顏色。)”可知，研究人員對(duì)不同的人如何感知顏色進(jìn)行了科學(xué)調(diào)查。畫線單詞所在句陳述結(jié)論“Ittellsusthatourexperienceswiththeworldareconstantlyinfluencingthewayweviewcolour(它告訴我們，我們與世界的經(jīng)歷不斷地影響著我們看待顏色的方式)”可知，這里的it代指“人們對(duì)顏色的偏好度”。故選C。2．推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段“Fromprevioussurveystheresearchersfoundthatbluehasbeenafavouritecolour.Eventheearliest-recordedcolourstudiesfromthe1800sshowthatblueisuniversallyloved,dueatleastinparttoourfondnessforbluesinnature.(從之前的調(diào)查中，研究人員發(fā)現(xiàn)藍(lán)色一直是人們最喜歡的顏色。即使是19世紀(jì)最早記錄的色彩研究也表明，藍(lán)色受到普遍喜愛(ài)，至少部分原因是我們喜歡大自然中的藍(lán)色。)”并結(jié)合前文可知，之前的調(diào)查中，研究人員發(fā)現(xiàn)藍(lán)色一直是人們最喜歡的顏色。由此推斷，從早期的顏色研究中我們可以發(fā)現(xiàn)：我們對(duì)藍(lán)色的偏愛(ài)由來(lái)已久。故選B。3．細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段“Theotherfindingoftheresearchwasthatourcolourinterestschangeaswegainnewexperiences.Theyoungeryouare,forinstance,themorelikelyyouaretoenjoyabrightercolour.Asyouage,you’remorelikelytotakeondarkercoloursasyourfavourites(該研究的另一個(gè)發(fā)現(xiàn)是，當(dāng)我們獲得新的經(jīng)驗(yàn)時(shí)，我們對(duì)顏色的興趣也會(huì)發(fā)生變化。例如，你越年輕，你就越有可能喜歡鮮艷的顏色。隨著年齡的增長(zhǎng)，你更有可能選擇深色作為自己的最愛(ài))”可知，這項(xiàng)研究的第二個(gè)發(fā)現(xiàn)是我們對(duì)顏色的偏好可能會(huì)隨著時(shí)間的推移而改變。故選A。4．推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段“Simplyput,thethingsweenjoymosti
