A
Scientists hav ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e found out that wearing different colours can have different power. If we are sad, we choose to wear some dark colours. If we are happy, we often wear some bright colours. So how can colours change our feelings What colour should we wear Here is some advice.
If you are feeling ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )sad, don’t wear black. It will make you feel worse. But if you choose green or red, it will be better.
Red can make you ha ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ve more energy. Blue can make you think better and get good ideas. Orange can make you happier. You can be cleverer than before if you are in yellow. So yellow is good for your studying. It is easier for you to find your love when you are in pink. When you see someone wearing black, you can feel safer.
So try to make you happy by changing your clothes.

“Did you go skatin ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )g a lot last year ” I asked. Jen shook her head and looked at me. Finally she said, “On Thanksgiving, Mom and I always went to visit some friends who lived on a farm. I especially loved seeing their big turkeys.”
Until then, I didn ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )’t think about how Jen felt. She had a new stepfather (继父) and stepbrother, and had a new town and home, too. Jen and her mom used to live near a lake where Dad and I went every summer, and she had to move up north with us. She had more changes than me.
Jen seemed sad, so ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )I was busy thinking of some ways to cheer her up on Thanksgiving. I told her my plan and she was excited. First we made a huge snowball, and then a small snowball. Then we built a wall behind the big snowball as a tail. Jen mixed some food coloring with water, saying, “We can spray (喷) colors on the tail.” Our snow turkey had a red, blue, green, and yellow tail. We were so busy that we didn’t notice our parents come outside. Dad found a hat for the
snow turkey, and Mom wrapped her scarf around its neck.
“Thanks for cheering ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) Jen up,” Mom said. “You’re a good brother, and you always come up with great ideas.’’ A happy feeling spread through me. I began to understand how much she cared about everyone in our new family.
( )36. What did Jen do on Thanksgiving in the past
A. She went skating with her friends.
B. She went to the farm with her mother.
C. She stayed at home with her mother.
D. She made snow turkeys with her mother.
( )37. What can we learn from the second paragraph
A. Jen lived near a lake in the past.
B. The writer was Jen’s stepfather.
C. Jen moved up north for studying.
D. The writer just moved out of his old house.
( )38. How many people are there in Jen’s new family
A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five.
( )39. Which of the following is the right order
①made a small snowball
②found a hat

④sprayed colors on the tail
⑤wrapped a scarf around the neck
⑥built a wall behind the big snowball
A. ①③⑥④②⑤ B. ①②③④⑤⑥
C. ③①⑥④②⑤ D. ③①⑥②④⑤
( )40. What can we infer (推断) from the underlined sentence

D. The writer felt happy because his stepmother liked him.
C
What do you think ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) of black cats Are they unluckier than cats of other colors Many people in Western countries think so. Scientists at the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley), did a study on cat colours and people’s understandings of cat personalities.
The study found th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )at people do judge(判断) cat personalities by color. Scientists did a survey on the Internet. There were 49 statements (描述) matching five cat colorings with 10 personalities. People think orange and bi-coloured (双色的) cats are friendly, tri-coloured (三色的) cats are not generous, and white cats are calm, lazy and shy. As for black cats, people think they don’t have special personalities.
But why do so many ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )people dislike keeping black cats as pets People think black cats have less special personalities, which might be because of their bad reputation (口碑). They think black cats may bring bad luck, especially at Halloween. Movies and television shows also make people believe that.
Although peopl ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e have these ideas, UC Berkeley scientists give another reason: people don’t think black cats are pretty enough. After all, nothing can show black cats are unluckier than other cats. “You can’t judge a cat by its colour, because it’s the personality of the cat, not the colour, that will let you know if the cat is right for you,” Cathy Marden, a scientist said.
( )41. Many ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) people in Western countries may think black cats are .
A. lovely animals B. a sign of bad luck
C. a sign of good luck D. unfriendly animals
( )42. The main idea of paragraph 2 is that .
A. people often complain about black cats on the Internet
B. people think cats ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) of different colours have different personalities
C. black cats are less popular than other cats
D. the study is a great success
( )43. According to the study, people think that .
A. black cats have special personalities
B. orange and bi-coloured cats are generous
C. cats with three colours are friendly
D. white cats are calm, lazy and shy
( )44. People don’t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )like black cats for the following reasons EXCEPT .
A. black cats often appear in TV shows
B. black cats bring bad luck to people
C. black cats have bad reputations
D. they don’t think black cats are beautiful
( )45. The passage mainly talks about .
A. why black cats are popular in movies
B. why people are not willing to keep black cats as pets
C. different colour cats have different personalities
D. different people have different ideas on black cats
D
Mostly we can drive a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )car safely on roads because the car is good and we drive carefully. 46 Some colours can make things worse, but other colours can weaken the bad situations when we meet emergency risks (紧急危险).
The biggest au ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )tomobile insurance company (汽车保险公司) of Australia has found that cars in deep colours, such as black, golden and dark blue, have higher possibility to cause traffic accidents than bright light colours. Why
47 Firstl ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )y, colours can be divided into forward colours (前进色) and back colours (后退色). For example, there are four cars in colours of red, yellow, dark blue and black in front of you and they keep the same distance from you. 48 That’s because they are forward colours. They will remind drivers of the dangerous situations earlier. 49 Both of the two colours are back colours. They are easy to make things worse.
50 Cars in yell ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ow or red seem bigger than its real size, so people will notice them more easily. Since cars in dark blue or black seem smaller than its real size, it is not easy for people to notice them, especially in the evenings or on rainy nights.
根据材料内容，将A-E五个句子填入文中空缺处，使短文内容完整、正确，并将其标号填写在下面题号后的横线上。
A. There may be two main reasons.
B. However, the cars in dark blue or black seem to be farther.
C. You will find that the red and the yellow cars seem to be nearer.
D. However, the col ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )our of the car can influence the traffic safety in some ways.
E. Secondly, colo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )urs can also be divided into expanded colours (膨胀色) and sinking colours (收缩色).
46. 47. 48.
49. 50.

Until then, I didn ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )’t think about how Jen felt. She had a new stepfather (继父) and stepbrother, and had a new town and home, too. Jen and her mom used to live near a lake where Dad and I went every summer, and she had to move up north with us. She had more changes than me.
Jen seemed sad, so ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )I was busy thinking of some ways to cheer her up on Thanksgiving. I told her my plan and she was excited. First we made a huge snowball, and then a small snowball. Then we built a wall behind the big snowball as a tail. Jen mixed some food coloring with water, saying, “We can spray (喷) colors on the tail.” Our snow turkey had a red, blue, green, and yellow tail. We were so busy that we didn’t notice our parents come outside. Dad found a hat for the
snow turkey, and Mom wrapped her scarf around its neck.
“Thanks for cheering ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) Jen up,” Mom said. “You’re a good brother, and you always come up with great ideas.’’ A happy feeling spread through me. I began to understand how much she cared about everyone in our new family.

What do you think ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) of black cats Are they unluckier than cats of other colors Many people in Western countries think so. Scientists at the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley), did a study on cat colours and people’s understandings of cat personalities.
The study found th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )at people do judge(判断) cat personalities by color. Scientists did a survey on the Internet. There were 49 statements (描述) matching five cat colorings with 10 personalities. People think orange and bi-coloured (双色的) cats are friendly, tri-coloured (三色的) cats are not generous, and white cats are calm, lazy and shy. As for black cats, people think they don’t have special personalities.
But why do so many ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )people dislike keeping black cats as pets People think black cats have less special personalities, which might be because of their bad reputation (口碑). They think black cats may bring bad luck, especially at Halloween. Movies and television shows also make people believe that.
Although peopl ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e have these ideas, UC Berkeley scientists give another reason: people don’t think black cats are pretty enough. After all, nothing can show black cats are unluckier than other cats. “You can’t judge a cat by its colour, because it’s the personality of the cat, not the colour, that will let you know if the cat is right for you,” Cathy Marden, a scientist said.

Mostly we can drive a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )car safely on roads because the car is good and we drive carefully. 46 Some colours can make things worse, but other colours can weaken the bad situations when we meet emergency risks (紧急危险).
The biggest au ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )tomobile insurance company (汽车保险公司) of Australia has found that cars in deep colours, such as black, golden and dark blue, have higher possibility to cause traffic accidents than bright light colours. Why
47 Firstl ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )y, colours can be divided into forward colours (前进色) and back colours (后退色). For example, there are four cars in colours of red, yellow, dark blue and black in front of you and they keep the same distance from you. 48 That’s because they are forward colours. They will remind drivers of the dangerous situations earlier. 49 Both of the two colours are back colours. They are easy to make things worse.
50 Cars in yell ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ow or red seem bigger than its real size, so people will notice them more easily. Since cars in dark blue or black seem smaller than its real size, it is not easy for people to notice them, especially in the evenings or on rainy nights.

A. There may be two main reasons.
B. However, the cars in dark blue or black seem to be farther.
C. You will find that the red and the yellow cars seem to be nearer.
D. However, the col ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )our of the car can influence the traffic safety in some ways.
E. Secondly, colo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )urs can also be divided into expanded colours (膨胀色) and sinking colours (收缩色).
