It was early winter several years ago. I had pulled out my old winter coat for another year’s use. It was still in pretty good shape although it was looking dirty from so many winters’ wear. I didn’t really need a new one but I wanted one and casually mentioned it to my daughter one day. She was such a sweet, loving girl that I should have guessed what would happen next. A few weeks later she gave me a new winter coat as a gift.
I put the old one in my closet and started to wear the new coat every day. Each day, though, when I opened my closet, something troubled me. It seemed a shame that my old but still good coat should just sit there keeping no one warm during the cold winter days. After a few weeks, I took it out and drove to a local charity shop. I knew that there was someone who couldn’t afford a coat but could get my old one.
My new coat is my old coat now. It is getting a little dirty and worn, too. It has black marks on the sleeves. It is in too bad shape to even donate to charity. I wonder if I should buy a new one soon, but I think I will wait for a while. I don’t really need a new one and maybe I can find something else to give to the charity shop instead.
Ralph Waldo Emerson once said, “Want is a growing giant whom the coat of Have was never large enough to cover.” Perhaps the best way to deal with our wants then is to give instead. Love, after all, brings us the most joy. And the more of it you give away, the more of it you have.
4．Which word can best describe the author’s daughter
A. Wealthy. B. Thoughtful. C. Easy-going. D. Humorous.
5．Why was the author in shame when seeing his old coat in the closet
A. It cost too much.
B. It was looking dirty.
C. There was not enough room for his new coat.
D. It was not sent to someone in need.
6．What is the author’s decision after his second coat becomes old
A. Telling his daughter. B. Buying a new one soon.
C. Donating it to charity. D. Sending something else to charity.
7．What does the author want to show in the last paragraph
A. Giving fills our wants.
B. Love is the key to joy.
C. The more you give, the more you lose.
D. A coat is large enough to cover our wants.
Which boy hasn’t dreamed of being a cool secret agent (特工) The wonderful fighting abilities and the world-saving adventures are much more colourful than most people’s everyday lives. Well, Cody Banks is just like any other boy，except that he is not just dreaming. He has a big secret his friends never know about. He was trained to be a spy (间谍）by a special CIA programme，which was made to look like a summer camp. He learned high-speed driving，hand-to-hand fighting and the use of high-tech tools.

Agent Cody Banks has everything that young people are interested in: big explosions, breath-taking performances and funny girl-dating experiences. It was listed No.2 in the American box office last week.

Every year, as many as 50, 000 elephants in Africa are killed illegally for their tusks (象牙). Now scientists have improved DNA methods that allow them to match up elephant tusks, and help track down criminals that are selling them.
Even though it’s against the law, African elephants have long been killed by criminals for their tusks. Other people, called “traffickers”, buy the tusks and transport them out of the country on a ship. The traffickers re-sell the tusks for even more money, usually in Asia. Elephant tusks can sell for about $1, 000 a kilogram.
In the past, it was hard to catch the criminals. Usually by the time the dead animals were found, the illegal hunters had been far away. And when traffickers were caught with elephant tusks, it was impossible to say where the tusks came from. Traffickers usually hide them in tricky ways inside shipments of other products. That means that only about 10% of tusks from illegally killed elephants are ever found.
Several years ago, scientists led by Dr. Samuel Wasser figured out a new way to solve the problem. Using elephant waste, they built a list of the DNA of almost all elephants in Africa.
Now when elephant tusks are found on a ship in another country, DNA tests can show where they came from. This information can trigger quick action in the country where the animals were killed. It can also help the police discover patterns in the ways the illegal hunters and traffickers work.
Dr. Wasser is hopeful that the method of using DNA information from elephants to track illegally killed wildlife will soon be adopted to help protect other kinds of animals and break up more criminal groups.
12．Why do scientists use DNA information from elephants
A. To improve the health of elephant tusks.
B. To keep track of the illegal dealers.
C. To protect elephants against natural disasters.
D. To research into elephants’ habits.
13．What may make illegally hunted elephant tusks hard to find
A. The way they are transported.
B. The lack of tracking technology.
C. The difficulty in catching criminals.
D. The various tricks of illegal hunters.
14．What does the underlined word “trigger” in paragraph 5 probably mean
A. start with B. result from C. hold back D. lead to
15．Which of the following reflects Dr. Wasser’s opinion about the DNA method
A. It can make all criminals have nowhere to hide.
B. It can scare away potential illegal hunters.
C. It can be widely used in wildlife protection.
D. It can make elephant tusk sales unprofitable.
二、七选五
16．What is your favorite color Do you like yellow, orange, red If you do, you must be an optimist, a leader, an active person who enjoys life, people and excitement. Do you prefer grey and blue Then you are probably quiet, shy, and you would rather follow than lead. ①_________At least, this is what psychologists tell us, and they should know, because they have been seriously studying the meaning of color preference, as well as the effect that colors have on human beings. ②_________If you happen to love brown, you did so, as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly.
③_________A yellow room makes most people feel more cheerful and more relaxed than a dark green one; and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day. On the other hand, black is depressing. A black bridge over the Thames River, near London, used to be the scene of more suicides(自杀) than any other bridge in the area—until it was repainted green. The number of suicide attempts immediately fell sharply. ④_________

4．答案： B
解析：推理判断题。根据第一段中的“I didn’t really need a new one but I wanted one and casually mentioned it to my daughter one day. She was such a sweet, loving girl that I should have guessed what would happen next. A few weeks later she gave me a new winter coat as a gift. (我并不是真的需要一件新的，但我想要一件，有一天我不经意地向女儿提起了这件事。她是一个如此亲切、和善的女孩，我应该猜到接下来会发生什么。几个星期后，她送给我一件新的冬季外套作为礼物)”可知，作者的女儿在他不经意地提到想要一件冬季外套后，很快就给他送了一件作为礼物。由此可知，女儿是体贴的。故选B项。
5．答案： D
解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Each day, though, when I opened my closet, something troubled me. It seemed a shame that my old but still good coat should just sit there keeping no one warm during the cold winter days. (然而，每天当我打开衣柜的时候，总有一些事情困扰着我。在寒冷的冬天，我那件旧的但仍然很好的外套就这么坐在那里，没有给任何人保暖，这似乎是一种遗憾)”结合下文作者把旧衣服捐到慈善机构可知，作者看到旧外套感到遗憾，是因为自己没把这件衣服送去帮助有需要的人。故选D项。
6．答案： D
解析：细节理解题。根据第三段中的“It is in too bad shape to even donate to charity. (它的状况太糟糕了，甚至无法捐赠给慈善机构)”和“I don’t really need a new one and maybe I can find something else to give to the charity shop instead. (我真的不需要新的，也许我可以找点别的东西捐给慈善商店)”可知，第二件旧外套糟糕到无法捐赠，于是作者决定找别的物品送往慈善机构。故选D项。
7．答案： A
解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段“Ralph Waldo Emerson once said, “Want is a growing giant whom the coat of Have was never large enough to cover.” Perhaps the best way to deal with our wants then is to give instead.

(拉尔夫·沃尔多·爱默生曾经说过：“欲望是一个成长中的巨人，‘拥有’的外套永远不足以覆盖它。”也许对付我们的欲望最好的办法就是给予。毕竟，爱给我们带来了最大的快乐。你付出的越多，你拥有的也就越多)”可知，作者引用了爱默生的名言，阐明人的欲望是无法通过拥有被完全满足的，并强调应用给予、爱和付出去对付欲望。由此可知，作者想说的是能真正填满欲望的不是索取而是给予。故选A项。
8．答案： D
解析：词义猜测题。根据前文提及Banks的特殊身份：He was trained to be a spy by a special CIA programme(他被中央情报局的一个特别项目训练成间谍)，可知他对这位科学家执行的任务应是监视任务。因此spy on 可以理解为“监督；监视”，与watch同义。故选D项。
9．答案： C
解析：细节理解题。根据文章第三段第3，4句“How can he get around his problem and get an invitation to the girl’s upcoming birthday party Will he finally become Natalie’s boyfriend and find out whatever he can about her father’s work （他怎样才能绕过这个问题，得到参加这个女孩即将到来的生日派对的邀请呢？他最终会成为娜塔莉的男朋友，并尽其所能找出关于她父亲工作的一切吗？）可知他参加Natalie的生日聚会的目的是和她交朋友。故选C项。

12．答案： B
解析：细节理解题。根据第一段中“Now scientists have improved DNA methods that allow them to match up elephant tusks, and help track down criminals that are selling them.(现在科学家们已经改进了DNA方法，使他们能够匹配象牙，并帮助追踪贩卖象牙的罪犯)”可知，科学家使用大象的DNA信息是为了追踪那些非法交易象牙的人。故选B项。
13．答案： A
解析：细节理解题。根据第三段最后两句“Traffickers usually hide them in tricky ways inside shipments of other products. That means that only about 10% of tusks from illegally killed elephants are ever found.(象牙贩子通常狡猾地将它们藏在其他货物的运输中。这意味着被非法猎杀而来的象牙只有10%被发现)”可知，非法猎取的象牙以隐蔽的方式进行运输，使其很难被发现。故选A项。
14．答案： D
解析：词句猜测题。根据划线词上一句“Now when elephant tusks are found on a ship in another country, DNA tests can show where they came from.(现在，当在另一个国家的船只上发现象牙时，DNA测试可以显示它们来自哪里)”可知，DNA测试可以显示象牙来自哪里。由此可推知，划线词所在句意为：这些信息可以在动物被杀的国家引发迅速的行动，trigger意为“引发，促使”，故选D项。
15．答案： C
解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段“Dr. Wasser is hopeful that the method of using DNA information from elephants to track illegally killed wildlife will soon be adopted to help protect other kinds of animals and break up more criminal groups.(Wasser博士希望，利用大象的DNA信息追踪非法猎杀野生动物的方法，将很快被采用，以帮助保护其他种类的动物，并瓦解更多的犯罪团伙)”可知，Wasser博士认为DNA测试的方法可以广泛应用于野生动物保护。故选C项。
16．答案：①-⑤AGDFE
解析：①前文将颜色和性格进行了匹配和对比，根据前文所述及“you must be an optimist(你一定是个乐观主义者)”可知，喜欢亮色的人性格会乐观，那么可推知，喜欢暗色的人性格会相反，选项A“You tend to be pessimist.(你有悲观者的倾向)”中的“pessimist悲观主义者”与“optimist乐观主义者”互为反义词。故选A。
②根据上文“At least, this is what psychologists tell us, and they should know, because they have been seriously studying the meaning of colour preference, as well as the effect that colours have on human beings. (至少，这是心理学家告诉我们的，他们应该清楚，因为他们一直在认真研究颜色偏好的意义，以及颜色对人类的影响)”可知，此处内容与心理学家研究的发现有关，选项G“They tell us, among other facts, that we do not choose our favourite colour as grow up-we are born with our preference. (他们告诉我们，除了其他事实外，我们并不是在成长的过程中选择我们最喜欢的颜色——我们的偏好是与生俱来的)”中的代词“They”指的是上文的“psychologists”，且句意也在阐述心理学家的研究发现。故选G。
③设空处缺少段落中心句，根据下文“A yellow room makes most people feel more cheerful and more relaxed than a dark green one; and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day. (大多数人在一个黄色的房间比在一个墨绿色的房间感到更愉悦、更放松；一件红色的连衣裙也能给最悲伤的冬日带来温暖和欢乐)”可知，本段内容讲述颜色会影响人的心情，因此选项D“Colours do influence our moods-there is no doubt about it. (颜色确实影响我们的情绪——这是毫无疑问的)”符合题意。故选D。
④根据前文“The number of suicide attempts immediately fell sharply.(企图自杀的人数立即急剧下降)”可知，桥的颜色被刷成绿色后，自杀的数量减少了，说明亮色对人的情绪有积极作用，选项F“Perhaps it would have fallen even more if the bridge had been done in pink or baby blue.(如果这座桥是用粉红色或淡蓝色建造的，数量可能下降更厉害)”承接上文，如果用其他更鲜艳的亮色“pink or baby blue”，自杀数量会更少，“fallen”呼应前文 “fell”。故选F。
⑤根据下文“It is an established fact that factory workers work better, harder, and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black or grey. (如果把工厂的机器漆成橙色而不是黑色或灰色，工人就会干得更好、更努力，事故也会更少，这是一个公认的事实)”可知，浅色和鲜艳的颜色环境会使人积极努力，其中“work better, harder”与选项E“Light and bright colours make people not only happier but more active. (浅色和鲜艳的颜色不仅使人更快乐而且更积极)”中的“more active”呼应。故选E。

It was early winter several years ago. I had pulled out my old winter coat for another year’s use. It was still in pretty good shape although it was looking dirty from so many winters’ wear. I didn’t really need a new one but I wanted one and casually mentioned it to my daughter one day. She was such a sweet, loving girl that I should have guessed what would happen next. A few weeks later she gave me a new winter coat as a gift.
I put the old one in my closet and started to wear the new coat every day. Each day, though, when I opened my closet, something troubled me. It seemed a shame that my old but still good coat should just sit there keeping no one warm during the cold winter days. After a few weeks, I took it out and drove to a local charity shop. I knew that there was someone who couldn’t afford a coat but could get my old one.
My new coat is my old coat now. It is getting a little dirty and worn, too. It has black marks on the sleeves. It is in too bad shape to even donate to charity. I wonder if I should buy a new one soon, but I think I will wait for a while. I don’t really need a new one and maybe I can find something else to give to the charity shop instead.
Ralph Waldo Emerson once said, “Want is a growing giant whom the coat of Have was never large enough to cover.” Perhaps the best way to deal with our wants then is to give instead. Love, after all, brings us the most joy. And the more of it you give away, the more of it you have.
4．Which word can best describe the author’s daughter
A. Wealthy. B. Thoughtful. C. Easy-going. D. Humorous.

A. It cost too much.
B. It was looking dirty.
C. There was not enough room for his new coat.
D. It was not sent to someone in need.
6．What is the author’s decision after his second coat becomes old
A. Telling his daughter. B. Buying a new one soon.
C. Donating it to charity. D. Sending something else to charity.
7．What does the author want to show in the last paragraph
A. Giving fills our wants.
B. Love is the key to joy.
C. The more you give, the more you lose.
D. A coat is large enough to cover our wants.

Every year, as many as 50, 000 elephants in Africa are killed illegally for their tusks (象牙). Now scientists have improved DNA methods that allow them to match up elephant tusks, and help track down criminals that are selling them.
Even though it’s against the law, African elephants have long been killed by criminals for their tusks. Other people, called “traffickers”, buy the tusks and transport them out of the country on a ship. The traffickers re-sell the tusks for even more money, usually in Asia. Elephant tusks can sell for about $1, 000 a kilogram.
In the past, it was hard to catch the criminals. Usually by the time the dead animals were found, the illegal hunters had been far away. And when traffickers were caught with elephant tusks, it was impossible to say where the tusks came from. Traffickers usually hide them in tricky ways inside shipments of other products. That means that only about 10% of tusks from illegally killed elephants are ever found.
Several years ago, scientists led by Dr. Samuel Wasser figured out a new way to solve the problem. Using elephant waste, they built a list of the DNA of almost all elephants in Africa.
Now when elephant tusks are found on a ship in another country, DNA tests can show where they came from. This information can trigger quick action in the country where the animals were killed. It can also help the police discover patterns in the ways the illegal hunters and traffickers work.
Dr. Wasser is hopeful that the method of using DNA information from elephants to track illegally killed wildlife will soon be adopted to help protect other kinds of animals and break up more criminal groups.
12．Why do scientists use DNA information from elephants
A. To improve the health of elephant tusks.
B. To keep track of the illegal dealers.
C. To protect elephants against natural disasters.
D. To research into elephants’ habits.
13．What may make illegally hunted elephant tusks hard to find
A. The way they are transported.
B. The lack of tracking technology.
C. The difficulty in catching criminals.
D. The various tricks of illegal hunters.
14．What does the underlined word “trigger” in paragraph 5 probably mean
A. start with B. result from C. hold back D. lead to
15．Which of the following reflects Dr. Wasser’s opinion about the DNA method
A. It can make all criminals have nowhere to hide.
B. It can scare away potential illegal hunters.
C. It can be widely used in wildlife protection.
D. It can make elephant tusk sales unprofitable.
二、七选五
16．What is your favorite color Do you like yellow, orange, red If you do, you must be an optimist, a leader, an active person who enjoys life, people and excitement. Do you prefer grey and blue Then you are probably quiet, shy, and you would rather follow than lead. ①_________At least, this is what psychologists tell us, and they should know, because they have been seriously studying the meaning of color preference, as well as the effect that colors have on human beings. ②_________If you happen to love brown, you did so, as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly.
③_________A yellow room makes most people feel more cheerful and more relaxed than a dark green one; and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day. On the other hand, black is depressing. A black bridge over the Thames River, near London, used to be the scene of more suicides(自杀) than any other bridge in the area—until it was repainted green. The number of suicide attempts immediately fell sharply. ④_________
⑤_________It is an established fact that factory workers work better, harder, and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black or grey.
A. You tend to be pessimist.
B. The rooms are painted in different colors as you like.
C. Life is like a picture or a poem, full of different colors.
D. Colors do influence our moods—there is no doubt about it.
E. Light and bright colors make people not only happier but more active.

G. They tell us, among other facts, that we do not choose our favorite color as we grow up—we are born with our preference.

解析：细节理解题。根据文中第二段中的“From 10：00 am to noon, kids can enjoy games, storytelling, toys, music and some very special things.”（从上午10点到中午，在幼儿休闲区(Tot Spot)孩子们可以做游戏、讲故事、玩玩具、听音乐等）可知，想听故事的孩子们可以去参加Tot Spot活动，故A项正确。
2．答案： D
解析：细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的“Each Wednesday from 6：30 pm to 7：30 pm, Atlantic Station's Central Park becomes the perfect place to find quietness of the mind and body while instructors lead guests through exercises including yoga and more”和“This event begins...September 28”（4月6日到9月28日的每个星期三下午6：30到7：30，大西洋站中央公园成为人们寻求心灵宁静和身体放松的地方，有教练带着游客做包括瑜伽和其他活动在内的练习）可知，六月和七月的每周三晚上7:00你可以在大西洋站中央公园跟着教练练瑜伽，D项正确。
3．答案： A
解析：细节理解题。根据第一段“From young kids to fitness lovers, to those looking for a laugh, or to families looking for a free movie night, Atlantic Station prepares some days for them to enjoy this year.”（从年幼的孩子到健身爱好者，再到那些想开怀大笑的人，再到想享受免费电影之夜的家庭，大西洋站今年为他们准备了一些活动）可知，Atlantic Station为游客安排时间和活动来让他们玩得开心，故A项正确。
4．答案： B
解析：推理判断题。根据第一段中的“I didn’t really need a new one but I wanted one and casually mentioned it to my daughter one day. She was such a sweet, loving girl that I should have guessed what would happen next. A few weeks later she gave me a new winter coat as a gift. (我并不是真的需要一件新的，但我想要一件，有一天我不经意地向女儿提起了这件事。她是一个如此亲切、和善的女孩，我应该猜到接下来会发生什么。几个星期后，她送给我一件新的冬季外套作为礼物)”可知，作者的女儿在他不经意地提到想要一件冬季外套后，很快就给他送了一件作为礼物。由此可知，女儿是体贴的。故选B项。
5．答案： D
解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Each day, though, when I opened my closet, something troubled me. It seemed a shame that my old but still good coat should just sit there keeping no one warm during the cold winter days. (然而，每天当我打开衣柜的时候，总有一些事情困扰着我。在寒冷的冬天，我那件旧的但仍然很好的外套就这么坐在那里，没有给任何人保暖，这似乎是一种遗憾)”结合下文作者把旧衣服捐到慈善机构可知，作者看到旧外套感到遗憾，是因为自己没把这件衣服送去帮助有需要的人。故选D项。
6．答案： D
解析：细节理解题。根据第三段中的“It is in too bad shape to even donate to charity. (它的状况太糟糕了，甚至无法捐赠给慈善机构)”和“I don’t really need a new one and maybe I can find something else to give to the charity shop instead. (我真的不需要新的，也许我可以找点别的东西捐给慈善商店)”可知，第二件旧外套糟糕到无法捐赠，于是作者决定找别的物品送往慈善机构。故选D项。
7．答案： A
解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段“Ralph Waldo Emerson once said, “Want is a growing giant whom the coat of Have was never large enough to cover.” Perhaps the best way to deal with our wants then is to give instead. Love, after all, brings us the most joy. And the more of it you give away, the more of it you have. (拉尔夫·沃尔多·爱默生曾经说过：“欲望是一个成长中的巨人，‘拥有’的外套永远不足以覆盖它。”也许对付我们的欲望最好的办法就是给予。毕竟，爱给我们带来了最大的快乐。你付出的越多，你拥有的也就越多)”可知，作者引用了爱默生的名言，阐明人的欲望是无法通过拥有被完全满足的，并强调应用给予、爱和付出去对付欲望。由此可知，作者想说的是能真正填满欲望的不是索取而是给予。故选A项。
8．答案： D
解析：词义猜测题。根据前文提及Banks的特殊身份：He was trained to be a spy by a special CIA programme(他被中央情报局的一个特别项目训练成间谍)，可知他对这位科学家执行的任务应是监视任务。因此spy on 可以理解为“监督；监视”，与watch同义。故选D项。

12．答案： B
解析：细节理解题。根据第一段中“Now scientists have improved DNA methods that allow them to match up elephant tusks, and help track down criminals that are selling them.(现在科学家们已经改进了DNA方法，使他们能够匹配象牙，并帮助追踪贩卖象牙的罪犯)”可知，科学家使用大象的DNA信息是为了追踪那些非法交易象牙的人。故选B项。
13．答案： A
解析：细节理解题。根据第三段最后两句“Traffickers usually hide them in tricky ways inside shipments of other products. That means that only about 10% of tusks from illegally killed elephants are ever found.(象牙贩子通常狡猾地将它们藏在其他货物的运输中。这意味着被非法猎杀而来的象牙只有10%被发现)”可知，非法猎取的象牙以隐蔽的方式进行运输，使其很难被发现。故选A项。
14．答案： D
解析：词句猜测题。根据划线词上一句“Now when elephant tusks are found on a ship in another country, DNA tests can show where they came from.(现在，当在另一个国家的船只上发现象牙时，DNA测试可以显示它们来自哪里)”可知，DNA测试可以显示象牙来自哪里。由此可推知，划线词所在句意为：这些信息可以在动物被杀的国家引发迅速的行动，trigger意为“引发，促使”，故选D项。
15．答案： C
解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段“Dr. Wasser is hopeful that the method of using DNA information from elephants to track illegally killed wildlife will soon be adopted to help protect other kinds of animals and break up more criminal groups.(Wasser博士希望，利用大象的DNA信息追踪非法猎杀野生动物的方法，将很快被采用，以帮助保护其他种类的动物，并瓦解更多的犯罪团伙)”可知，Wasser博士认为DNA测试的方法可以广泛应用于野生动物保护。故选C项。
16．答案：①-⑤AGDFE
解析：①前文将颜色和性格进行了匹配和对比，根据前文所述及“you must be an optimist(你一定是个乐观主义者)”可知，喜欢亮色的人性格会乐观，那么可推知，喜欢暗色的人性格会相反，选项A“You tend to be pessimist.(你有悲观者的倾向)”中的“pessimist悲观主义者”与“optimist乐观主义者”互为反义词。故选A。
②根据上文“At least, this is what psychologists tell us, and they should know, because they have been seriously studying the meaning of colour preference, as well as the effect that colours have on human beings. (至少，这是心理学家告诉我们的，他们应该清楚，因为他们一直在认真研究颜色偏好的意义，以及颜色对人类的影响)”可知，此处内容与心理学家研究的发现有关，选项G“They tell us, among other facts, that we do not choose our favourite colour as grow up-we are born with our preference. (他们告诉我们，除了其他事实外，我们并不是在成长的过程中选择我们最喜欢的颜色——我们的偏好是与生俱来的)”中的代词“They”指的是上文的“psychologists”，且句意也在阐述心理学家的研究发现。故选G。
③设空处缺少段落中心句，根据下文“A yellow room makes most people feel more cheerful and more relaxed than a dark green one; and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day. (大多数人在一个黄色的房间比在一个墨绿色的房间感到更愉悦、更放松；一件红色的连衣裙也能给最悲伤的冬日带来温暖和欢乐)”可知，本段内容讲述颜色会影响人的心情，因此选项D“Colours do influence our moods-there is no doubt about it. (颜色确实影响我们的情绪——这是毫无疑问的)”符合题意。故选D。
④根据前文“The number of suicide attempts immediately fell sharply.(企图自杀的人数立即急剧下降)”可知，桥的颜色被刷成绿色后，自杀的数量减少了，说明亮色对人的情绪有积极作用，选项F“Perhaps it would have fallen even more if the bridge had been done in pink or baby blue.(如果这座桥是用粉红色或淡蓝色建造的，数量可能下降更厉害)”承接上文，如果用其他更鲜艳的亮色“pink or baby blue”，自杀数量会更少，“fallen”呼应前文 “fell”。故选F。
⑤根据下文“It is an established fact that factory workers work better, harder, and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black or grey. (如果把工厂的机器漆成橙色而不是黑色或灰色，工人就会干得更好、更努力，事故也会更少，这是一个公认的事实)”可知，浅色和鲜艳的颜色环境会使人积极努力，其中“work better, harder”与选项E“Light and bright colours make people not only happier but more active. (浅色和鲜艳的颜色不仅使人更快乐而且更积极)”中的“more active”呼应。故选E。
