阅读下文,从每小题所给的四个选项中选出一个最佳答案。
A
What colour is a tennis ball Ask your classmates, and they might give you some surprising answers.
The magazine The Atlantic asked 30,000 people this question. 52 per cent said tennis balls are green. 42 per cent said they are yellow. And 6 per cent went with other colours.
According to the International Tennis Federation, tennis balls are yellow. So why did so many people say that they’re green
When we first see an object in natural light, our brains recognize its true colour. Even if the object is seen in different kinds of light later, our brains can still tell its true colour. Scientists call this colour constancy(恒常性). For example, we know that China’s flag is red. When we see it during sunset or under purple light, we still know that it is red, even if it looks like a different colour.
However, the colour of a tennis ball is not as pure(纯的) as the flag. It appears to be a combination(结合) of yellow, a “warm” colour, and green, a “cool” colour.
According to The Atlantic, when our brains try to figure out what colour the ball is, some people ignore(忽略) “cool” colours, such as green, blue and purple. So they see the ball as being yellow. But others ignore “warm” colours, such as red, yellow and orange. They see the ball as being green.
It is not just tennis balls that have such a confusing colour. In 2015, a girl posted a picture of a dress online. Some people believed the dress was black and blue—but others thought it was gold and white. They had different opinions based on whether they ignored “cold” or “warm” colours.
( )31. of people said tennis balls are green according to the survey.
A.52 per cent B.42 per cent
C.32 per cent D.6 per cent
( )32.When can our brains recognize the object’s true colour
A.When we see the object again and again.
B.When we first see the object in natural light.
C.When we see the object at last.
D.When we discuss with others at first.
( )33.The colour of tennis ball is the combination of kinds of colours.
A.two B.three C.four D.five
( )34.What’s the meaning of the underlined phrase “figure out” in Chinese
A.相配 B.假设 C.描述 D.断定
( )35.Why can different people see different colours for the same object
A.Because their eyes are different in size.
B.Because they have different senses.
C.Because they ignore “cold” or “warm” colours.
D.Because they are interested in different colours.
B
Green is an important colour in nature. It is the colour of grass and the leaves on trees. It is also the colour of most growing plants.
Sometimes, the word “green” means young, fresh and growing. For example, a greenhorn is someone who has no experience. In the 15th century, a greenhorn was a young cow or an ox whose horns(角) had not yet developed. A century later, a greenhorn was a soldier who had no experience in war. By the 18th century, a greenhorn had the meaning it has today—a person who is new in a job.
Someone who is good at growing plants is said to have a green thumb(大拇指). The expression comes from the early 20th century. A person with a green thumb can make plants grow fast and well. The Green Revolution(绿色革命) is the name given some years ago to the development of new kinds of rice and other grains. It was the result of hard work by agricultural scientists who had green thumbs.
Green is also the colour used to describe the powerful feeling, jealousy(嫉妒). The green-eyed monster is not a dangerous animal from outer space. It is an expression used about 400 years ago by the British writer William Shakespeare in his play Othello. It describes the unpleasant feeling when someone has something he wants.
In most places in the world, a green light is a signal(信号) to move ahead. In everyday speech, a green light means approval(赞成) to continue with a project.
( )36.A new soldier was called a greenhorn in the century.
A.15th B.16th C.18th D.20th
( )37.A person with a green thumb .
A.is good at growing plants

D.is new in a job

C
Many daily American expressions are based(以……为基础) on colours.
Red is a hot colour. Americans often use it to represent heat. When they say “red-hot”, that means they are very crazy about something. Loud music is popular with many people. Some may say that such music is red-hot.
Pink is a lighter kind of red. People sometimes say “I’m in the pink” when they are in good health. The expression was first used in America at the beginning of the 20th century. It probably comes from the fact that many babies are born with a nice pink colour that shows that they are in good health.
Blue is a cool colour. The old blues music in the United States is the opposite of red-hot music. Blues is slow and sad. Someone who is “blue” is very sad.
The colour green is natural for trees and grass. But it is an unnatural colour for humans. A person who has an upset stomach may say “I’m feeling a bit green”. A person on a boat who is feeling very sick from high waves can be said “look very green”. Sometimes a person may be very jealous because he does not have anything as nice as someone has, like a fast new car. That person may say “I’m green with envy”. Some people are green with envy because someone has more dollars or “greenbacks”. Dollars are called greenbacks in American slang(俚语) because that is the colour of the bottom of their banknotes.
The colour black is often used in expressions. People may say “it’s a black day” when everything goes wrong on that day.
In some cases, colours describe a situation. Blackouts were common during the World War II. All the lights in a city were turned off at night to make it difficult for enemy planes to find their aims in the dark.

A.Red. B.Green. C.Pink. D.Black.

Ⅵ.任务型阅读(共10小题;每小题2分,满分20分)
阅读下面短文,根据要求完成下列各题。
A
How many times have your parents told you that you must eat green vegetables We all know that green vegetables are healthy, but what about other foods of different colours We don’t need to like all food, but it is good to have different colours in your diet, for example, red food such as strawberries and tomatoes, yellow food such as bananas and pears and orange food such as carrots and oranges. But what about the blue food
A few years ago, a food company added the blue colour to its bags of sweets. Children liked the blue colour, so were the blue sweets popular The food company was surprised to find that they were unpopular. Children still preferred the sweets that were the usual colours of red, green, brown, yellow and orange.
How many blue meats or vegetables do you know None There are few natural blue foods—it isn’t common natural food colour. Some scientists say that as a result, our brain doesn’t recognize blue food as something healthy or safe to eat. This is perhaps why we don’t usually use blue food colouring(色素) for drinks, cakes or other food.
Some people say we eat with our eyes. The idea is that we need to like the looks of the food before we try it. I wanted to test this idea so I asked some friends to have a very unusual lunch. My husband and I made some eggs on toast and put blue colouring in them. The result is that nobody ate them. My guests refused to put the blue eggs in their mouths!
So will we ever see blue food on our plates The answer seems to be “no”, at least in countries like the UK and the USA.

Unlike the other parts of the body, your ears don’t ask for much. They don’t need to be brushed twice a day like your teeth. But they really need some special care, especially if you like using earphones(耳机) to listen to music. Maybe your mum or dad has told you, “Turn that down before you go deaf(聋的)!” Well, they are quite right. Loud noise may cause hearing problems for a short time or even forever.
Using earphones is a good way to escape from your parents’ eyes Well, it may not be as good a way as you think. American doctors have studied a group of 4,490 people who used earphones more than 15 hours every week. The doctors found that 3,730 of them were getting hearing problems. If you use earphones too long, your ears may feel painful. You could also lose your hearing for the rest of your life. So don’t wear your earphones too long. Use them less than one hour a day.
Want good hearing Don’t forget to do as the following suggestions:
·Try to stay away from places with too much noise. If you have to go, wear earplugs(耳塞).
·When swimming, remember to put earplugs into your ears to stop water from getting in.
Please remember the above suggestions! Then you won’t say “What ” again and again when you get older.

Colours and Moods
Do you know anything about the relationship between colours and moods
Green is an energetic colour. It can give you energy, as it is the colour of nature and represents new life. So when you are tired or weak, you should wear green clothes.
Red is a strong colour. It can make you look more powerful. It also represents luck in China and many women preferred to wear red on their wedding day in the past.
My favourite colour is white because it is the colour of purity and it can help me calm down when I feel nervous.
All the colours make our world colourful and wonderful.
