參考答案1.C2.B3.A4.D【導語】本文是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹研究發(fā)現,人們對顏色的偏愛隨時間而變化,并且與我們的經歷相關。1.詞義猜測題。根據第二段“DuringthestudyconductedbypsychologyprofessorKarenSchlossattheUniversityofWisconsinin2019,theresearchersinvestigatedthescienceofhowdifferentpeopleperceivecolour.Theynotedthatsubjectswithapreferenceforasportsteamfoundtheirfavouriteteam’scoloursmorefavourable.Themoretheyvaluedtheirteam,themoretheyfavouredthespecificcolour.(威斯康星大學心理學教授凱倫·施洛斯2019年進行的一項研究中,研究人員調查了不同人如何感知顏色的科學。他們注意到,對運動隊有偏好的受試者發(fā)現他們最喜歡的運動隊的顏色更受歡迎。他們越看重自己的團隊,就越喜歡特定的顏色。)”可知,研究人員對不同的人如何感知顏色進行了科學調查。畫線單詞所在句陳述結論“Ittellsusthatourexperienceswiththeworldareconstantlyinfluencingthewayweviewcolour(它告訴我們,我們與世界的經歷不斷地影響著我們看待顏色的方式)”可知,這里的it代指“人們對顏色的偏好度”。故選C。2.推理判斷題。根據第三段“Fromprevioussurveystheresearchersfoundthatbluehasbeenafavouritecolour.Eventheearliest-recordedcolourstudiesfromthe1800sshowthatblueisuniversallyloved,dueatleastinparttoourfondnessforbluesinnature.(從之前的調查中,研究人員發(fā)現藍色一直是人們最喜歡的顏色。即使是19世紀最早記錄的色彩研究也表明,藍色受到普遍喜愛,至少部分原因是我們喜歡大自然中的藍色。)”并結合前文可知,之前的調查中,研究人員發(fā)現藍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:我們對藍色的偏愛由來已久。故選B。3.細節(jié)理解題。根據第四段“Theotherfindingoftheresearchwasthatourcolourinterestschangeaswegainnewexperiences.Theyoungeryouare,forinstance,themorelikelyyouaretoenjoyabrightercolour.Asyouage,you’remorelikelytotakeondarkercoloursasyourfavourites(該研究的另一個發(fā)現是,當我們獲得新的經驗時,我們對顏色的興趣也會發(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,你更有可能選擇深色作為自己的最愛)”可知,這項研究的第二個發(fā)現是我們對顏色的偏好可能會隨著時間的推移而改變。故選A。4.推理判斷題。根據最后一段“Simplyput,thethingsweenjoymosti
