四、阅读理解
Why is pink or purple for girls and blue or brown for boys The answer depends largely on cultural values as well as personal experiences. Green was a sacred (神圣) colour to the Egyptians, representing the hope and joy of spring. Red is a symbol of good luck in many cultures. In China, children are given money in red packages to bring good luck in the new year. For many nations, blue is a symbol of protection and religious(宗教的)beliefs. Greek people often wear a blue necklace to protect themselves.
People's choice of colours is also influenced by their bodies, reactions (反应)towards them. Green is said to be the most restful colour. It can reduce pain and relax both body and mind. People who work in green environment have been found to have fewer stomachaches.
Red can cause a person's blood pressure(血压)to rise and increase people's appetite (食欲). Many restaurants like to use different shades of red. Similarly, many websites will have a red “Buy Now” button because red is a colour that easily catches a person's eye.
Blue is another calm colour. Unlike red, blue can cause people to lose appetite. So if you want to eat less, some suggest that eating from blue plates can help.
Next time when you are deciding on what to wear or what colour to decorate your room, think about the colour carefully.

答案以及解析
一、单选题
1.答案:C
解析:句意: —恐怕在下班后我会忘记买面包。—别担心。我到时会提醒你的。remind意为"提醒", 符合句意; notice意为"注意", allow意为"允许", promise意为"承诺", 都不符合句意。
2.答案:C
解析:句意:电脑需要修理。我认为我需要去找张老师求助。考查动词短语。require doing sth表示“需要被做”,need to do sth表示“需要做某事”。故选C。
3.答案:C
解析:句意:—你解决这个问题有多大困难 —没有。相当简单。考查非谓语动词以及不定代词。have difficulty doing sth“做某事有困难”,第一空填动名词;noting没什么;none没有。根据“how many”可知,此处强调的是数量,用none,故选C。
4.答案:D
解析:situation 情况, 形势; instruction 指令, 说明; condition 状态, 环境; invention发明。此处指"随着机器人的发明", 要用invention。
5.答案:C
解析:句意: 我最好的朋友Alex数学竞赛没有通过。我想让他振作起来。短语cheer sb. up意为"使某人振作/高兴起来"。
6.答案:D
解析:考查宾语从句。句意: —吉姆, 贝蒂刚才对你说什么 —她想知道今晚我是否能和她一起去购物。宾语从句的语序为陈述句语序, 即: 引导词+主语+谓语。排除A和B选项。又因主句是一般过去时, 所以宾语从句也要用过去的某一时态, 选项C不符合, 故选D。
7.答案:C
解析:句意: 我不能决定怎么做这件事。decide后面如果跟宾语从句, 宾语从句要用陈述句语序, 故B和D选项首先要排除; 选项A中的 what其实就是do的宾语, 不能再用it, 故答案选C。
8.答案:C
解析:句意: —今天下午你要去野营吗 —台风要来了。我不确定通往山上的那条路是否将要被关闭。本题考查宾语从句的连接词。从句成分完整, 主句为否定形式, 应用whether/if, 故选C项。
9.答案:A
解析:句意: —我是戴西, 不是杰西。—对不起, 我很难记住人的名字。have difficulty (in) doing sth.意为"做某事有困难"。故选A。
10.答案:A
解析:句意: 我的父亲不是很喜欢购物。他宁愿待在家里看电视也不愿意在店里逛几个小时。短语would rather do...than do..."宁愿做 ……也不愿意做……", 故选A。
