根据短文内容，从短文后的A~F选项中，选出5个适当的选项补全短文。
Red is a national colour in China. 1 People use it a lot, from celebrations and festivals to everyday life.
The use of red has a long history. There is a statue (塑像) of the Yellow Emperor (Huangdi in Chinese) in Beijing. And from it, we can see the Emperor wears a red robe (长袍). 2 And people often used it when they got married or in other celebrations. In the Tang Dynasty, red became a popular colour for clothing.
3 It means a lot of good things and feelings. It’s a colour of joy and good luck. People use it to bring happiness and drive bad things away. It’s common to see it at weddings, on birthdays, and during the Chinese New Year. 4 . People often wear or carry something red. It’s also a color of power and energy.
5 The National Flag of the People’ s Republic of China is red with five yellow stars on the top left. Ana now, red is a hot colour in fashion. More and more people choose to wear traditional wedding dresses at weddings. Red also appears in phrases. For example, “Mianhong erchi” means to be angry.
A．It’s a colour of good luck.
B．It’s a colour of wealth and health.
C．In Chinese culture, red is a special colour.
D．It has deeply influenced Chinese culture and traditions.
E．During the Han Dynasty, red showed how important someone was.
F．Today, red continues to play an important role in Chinese culture and society.
①Do you like blueberries If so, the next time you’re about to eat your delicious berries, take a good look at them. Then ask yourself : Are blueberries really blue
②For the most part, blueberries aren’t blue. If you carefully peel the skin off one, you’ll see that the flesh inside is white. If you rub (摩擦) the inside of the skin on a white piece of paper, you’ll see a reddish-purple color. And if you gently rub the outside of a blueberry, the blue color disappears and the berry looks almost black. But the moment you pick one, it does look blue. What’s going on
③Well, there are two ways to create colors. The first is through pigments (色素). Pigments show the color of the light they don’t take in. The most common pigment in plants is chlorophyll, a green pigment. Plant leaves appear green because chlorophyll doesn’t take in green light. It sends it out instead while taking in blue and red light. Plants prefer to take in blue light because it has more energy than any other light. In fact, there aren’t any “true blue” pigments in the plant world.
④The second way to make color is through “structural color”. This happens when the structure of a surface makes some colors of light look different. Have you ever seen the rainbow colors on a CD These colors show up because of the tiny spaces between the disk’s thin layers. These spaces only allow certain colors to reach our eyes.
⑤Blueberries also create “structural color” in their own way. The berries look black when they’re ripe, but the plants build a thin layer of wax (蜡) on their outside. This layer is only four-thousandths of a centimeter thick, but it gives the berries their blue look. The blue color benefits the plants because birds are attracted to the rare color. They eat the berries and spread the seeds far and wide.
⑥Now your bowl of blueberries suddenly looks a lot more interesting. The fruit is beautiful, but its beauty is only skin deep!
6．How does the writer lead in the topic
A．By giving an example. B．By asking questions.
C．By listing numbers. D．By describing a scene.
7．What can we learn from Para. 3
A．There are few blue pigments in the plant world.
B．Plant leaves prefer to give out blue and red light.
C．Green pigments can make plants grow much better.
D．Plants appear green because they take in green light.
8．What is the underlined phrase “show up” similar to
A．develop B．influence C．balance D．appear
9．Which of the following is True
A．The flesh inside blueberries is black exactly.
B．Blueberries take in blue light in a special way.
C．The wax on blueberries makes them look blue.
D．Rainbow colors can be seen on blueberries.
As usual, Amber was hurrying to catch the yellow school bus. Luckily the traffic lights turned green as she was to cross the road, so she made it. When the bus passed a golden arch (拱形门), it reminded her of a hamburger. She hadn’t had breakfast that morning because the fruit salad on the blue dish didn’t look delicious at all. However, Amber remembered that she was still on a diet. So now she was really in a black mood.
You may have noticed that several colours were used in the above story so as to help describe Amber’s morning. In fact, colours influence your life more than you can ever imagine. Take language for example: You may describe a sick person as being “a bit green”. To describe a depressed (沮丧的) person, you say that the person is “feeling blue”. In short, colours do add interest to daily conversations.
Besides, colours can be used in many parts of your daily life. Have you ever thought about why many school buses and taxis are painted yellow, and stop signs red Since yellow is the most eye-catching colour, it can catch people’s attention, especially in heavy traffic. As for red, it is the colour which usually shows warning. As a result, some traffic signs use this colour. For the same reason, hot- water taps are usually marked red.
The colours of a dining environment possibly decide how much you eat. Most fast-food restaurants are often decorated in bright colours such as red, yellow, orange, and white for the purpose of increasing people’s appetites (胃口). This is because bright colours are natural colours found in many foods, and, therefore, able to raise people’s spirits. Blue, in comparison (对比) with bright colours, is said to lower people’s appetites because few foods are blue in nature. For those who are on a diet, blue dishes and bowls might help!
“Morning, Amber! What happened You look a bit green,” said Violet, Amber’s best friend.
“Nothing…just feeling…blue,” said Amber.
“Hey! Come to my place tonight. Do you know what I just bought A phone! It’s red-hot.”
Amber was tickled pink to have the chance to play with the phone and said, “Sounds great!”
10．According to the passage, if you are on a diet, ________ might help.
A．putting your food in a blue dish or bowl B．turning on a yellow light during the meal
C．painting the walls of the dining room white D．covering the dining table with an orange cloth
11．Most school buses are painted yellow because ________.
A．it tells other drivers to prepare to stop B．it helps bus drivers stay in a good mood
C．it can easily catch other people’s attention D．it is the colour that most school children like
12．Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage
A．Colours influence people’s daily lives. B．Most fast-food restaurants are painted grey.
C．Different colours are used for different purposes. D．Colours make daily conversations more interesting.
Andrew Parker, an English inventor, artist and zoologist at the University of Oxford, thinks color is not a thing. The world’s best colors, he says, come not from pigments (颜料), but from materials arranged into crystalline nano-structures (晶体纳米结构). And Parker thinks that we will have colors far richer and more shining than the common colors that we can see today. He calls it structural color (结构色).
Structural color was first recorded in the 17th century, in some birds5 feathers, but it is only since the invention of the electron microscope (电子显微镜), in the 1930s, that we have known how it works. Structural color is completely different from pigments. Pigments absorb (吸收) light, however, structural color reflects light into special wavelengths. The results are lively, often shining.
Parker has been working for over twenty years on a method to reproduce these nano-structures in a lab, to produce the most amazing nature’s colors. “The brightest colors,” says Parker, are being produced from completely transparent (透明的) materials. He decided to reproduce some colors to prove his idea.
Parker has now found a way to produce large numbers of what he calls “Pure Structural Color”. Deep oranges can remain their advantage in the sun; blues and purples also have their brightness. Parker calls them the brightest colors in the world, and he keeps all the details. In this way, others can not say that the exact method is not found in nature.
Next, Parker hopes to make use of the way butterflies shine gold and silver to make special paints, and to learn from the cuttlefish (墨鱼) how to make objects change colors. Parker sees a future that structural color will be used instead of pigments.
13．What makes people know how structural color works
A．The development of some modern labs. B．The appearance of the electron microscope.
C．The documentary about some birds leathers. D．Tie different backgrounds of structural colour.
14．What is Parker’s purpose according to Paragraph 3
A．To keep his secret in the lab. B．To produce different materials.
C．To make the most amazing colors. D．To find the best method to spread light.
15．From paragraph 4, we can know that ________.
A．the sun plays an important role in our daily life
B．blues and purples are brighter than deep oranges
C．Parker has found the most beautiful color in nature
D．Parker keeps the details of producing structural color
16．How does Parker find the future of structural color
A．Hopeful. B．Doubtful. C．Dangerous. D．Exciting.
Colors and moods (情绪)
Some people believe that colors can influence our moods. 17 In fact, colors can change our moods and make us feel happy or sad, energetic or sleepy. This article explains what colors can do and what characteristics (特点) they represent (代表).
Energetic colors
When you feel tired or weak, you should wear energetic colors like green. Green can give you energy, as it is the color of nature and represents new life.
Strong colors
If you require strength in either body or mind, red may be of some help to you. Red is the color of heat. It represents power and strong feelings. Wearing red can also make it easier to take action. 18
Calm colors
Have you ever walked into a room and felt relaxed It could be because the walls were painted blue. Blue is a calm color. 19 Blue can also represent sadness, so you may say “I’m feeling blue” when feeling sad.
Warm colors
Some colors, such as orange and yellow, can make you feel warm. People in cold areas prefer warm colors in their homes to create a warm and comfortable feeling. Orange represents joy. It can cheer you up when you are feeling sad. Yellow is the color of the sun, so it can remind you of a warm sunny day. Yellow is also the color of wisdom (智慧). 20
A．You may wonder whether it is true.
B．It brings peace to our mind and body.
C．Others think that colors can change people’s moods.
D．Some people prefer this color when they hope for success.
E．This may help when you are having difficulty making decisions.
Bright colors will bring you active feelings. For example, the color red can make people feel excited. In fact, red can even make a person feel hungrier. Yellow can increase energy (精力). Therefore, a room with strong red and yellow colors would be a good place to eat a lot of food quickly.
On the other hand, darker colors, like blue and green are peaceful. The color blue can help people calm down. So, a blue room can be a good place to study. However, it is easier to nod off in a blue room than in a red one. So we can use some good ways to avoid falling asleep easily.
The colors of clothes can also influence people’s feelings. Black and deep-blue clothes can bring you a sense of strength and seriousness. Therefore, a person in a black suit can seem like a leader more easily than one wearing white. If a person is wearing a dark suit and a red tie, he or she may seem both powerful and energetic. Perhaps this is why many business people wear dark suits with red ties. Brown and green clothes can bring you a sense of confidence. That means it may seem easier to trust the people wearing such colors. Therefore, many people choose to wear green or brown clothes for meetings or interviews (面试).
Choice of color, for rooms as well as clothes, is not simply about appearance.

Different colors have different effects on us
We are surrounded (环绕) by colors and we use them every day. We use colors which make us feel safe and comfortable to decorate our homes. We dress ourselves and show ourselves to the world in our favorite colors. Colors’ influence over all of us is powerful. 26
Red is the first color a baby sees.
27 As they grow up, the number of colors they can tell continues to increase until they can tell all the colors by the age about five months.
28

F．It’s found that people eat 24 percent more food when seeing red with yellow.
G．What is the least safe color of cars
The natural world is colorful with humans, plants and animals showing different colors.
Human skin can be many different colors and it changes with the sun, our feelings, or our health. This is because of pigments (色素), which reflect light and make what the eye sees as colors. So, when we feel excited or angry, our heart send more blood to the face and the pigments in the skin become red.
Plants also have pigments. Colors plays an important role in their life. The bright colors of flowers catch the attention of insects, which then carry their pollen (花粉) from one flower to another. Bees can see colors we cannot, and they follow these to the inside of the flower. Without bees visiting flowers in this way, many plants would die out.
Animals also use colors for their own need. They protect themselves with different colors in order not to be seen by predators (捕食者). However, some animals use the color as a warning to frighten predators away. Bright colors such as yellow and red are often used in this way.
So, we can see that there may be many different reasons and uses for colors in the natural world. Some uses of colors in nature remain unknown, but one thing is for sure, colors not only make our planet beautiful, but they are also necessary for our planet to live on.

In English, when someone is very angry, we say this person sees red, like the way a bull (公牛) goes wild after seeing a red cloth. Now it turns out that seeing red is not just an expression for angry people, but also a scientific fact.
Researchers found that there is a connection between the color red and anger. Angry people really see red where others don’t. And a special love for red over blue may even suggest a more hostile (敌对的) personality.
The study includes a number of experiments. At first, researchers asked a group of people which colour they preferred, red or blue. Participants (参与者) then did personality tests. Results showed that those who chose red seemed to be more hostile. During a second test, participants looked at faded (褪色的) images that could be seen as either red or blue. Those who saw red scored 25 percent higher on hostility in the personality test.
“Hostile people have hostile thoughts. Hostile thoughts are connected with the colour red, and so hostile people see this colour more often.” the researchers said.
Finally, the participants were told about imaginary situations in which they could take different actions. Results showed that in these situations, red-preferring people were more likely to show that they would hurt another person than those who preferred blue.

Most people have a favorite color, but how people feel about colors depends on their culture. This can be very important to people in business that sell products all over the world. They might choose a color because they think it is exciting or attractive, but in another country that same color could be used to give a sad message. Look at these examples:
If you ask someone in Britain what the right color is for a bride (新娘) to wear, the answer will be white. In China and other eastern countries, brides often wear red because the color red is a sign of good luck, happiness and prosperity (繁荣). ________ In Britain, red is used as a sign of danger. Road signs and warning labels (标签) are often in red. In eastern cultures, the color red does not mean you have to be careful.
In Egypt, yellow is the color linked to death. In Britain and other western cultures, death and funerals (葬礼) are usually linked to the color black, but in many eastern countries white is the color most people connect with death and funerals.
Many people like the color orange because it is bright and exciting. Some advertisers will not use orange in their advertisements because they believe it suggests that the products are cheap and perhaps not of good quality.
In a word, colors have different meanings in different cultures. We should learn to choose the proper color in some special situation.
53．In which country does the color yellow mean death

The world around us is full of colors. Green is the color of nature. Yellow is the color of the sun. Red is the color of blood and fire. Black is the color of the night. In the dark we cannot see what is around us, so we are sometimes afraid of the unknown and do not like black as a color. What a pity it will be if someone can not see all the colors!
There are people who are blind to certain colors. Human color blindness is hard to explain. In a single eye, there are millions of very small things called “cones (视锥细胞)”. They help us to see in bright light and to tell the difference between colors. There are also millions of “rods”, but they are used for seeing when it is nearly dark. They show us the shape but not the color.
Do color blind people see the world in black and white Color blindness doesn’t usually mean that people see the world like an old movie. They usually can’t tell certain colors from each other, especially green and red. Another commonly confused (弄混的) pair of colors is yellow and blue. There are different levels of color blindness. Some people are only colorblind in low light. However, in the most serious form of color blindness, everything is gray.
As for some birds, some of their eyes have few or no cones, so they can not see colors. Cats and dogs cannot see colors as well as we can. But some insects can even see X-rays. Scientists know that there are other colors around us which insects can see, but which we can not see.
57．How do rods help us
A．They help us see in bright light. B．They help us see the colors during the day.
C．They help us tell the difference between colors. D．They help us see the shape but not the color.
58．What can we know about the color blind people
A．None of them see colors in darkness. B．They see the world in black and white.
C．They may have different levels of color blindness. D．All of them can’t tell green and blue from each other.
59．Which animals can see more colors than us from the text

60．What is the structure of the text (P= Paragraph)
A． B． C． D．
61．What is the best title for the text
A．The magical eyes B．The colorful world
C．Different kinds of animals D．World through color blindness
When we say we’re “seeing red,” we feel angry. “Feeling blue” means we’re sad. Calling someone “yellow” means the person is afraid. People use these phrases every day. But do colours really influence our feelings Is there a psychology (心理学) of colour
We think of colour as a result of activities in our eyes and minds, so it makes sense to believe that different colours influence our moods.
Artists clearly use colours to make viewers respond (回应) to their work. Pablo Picasso’s Blue Period paintings from 1901 to 1904 express sadness after his friend Casagemas died.
Other people try to manipulate us with panies use colours in ads to make us know their messages well. Product designers use colours to catch our attention to their goods.
“The connection between colours and moods is so widely believed,” says psychologist, Lynn Olzak at Miami University in Ohio. “But when you actually go out and try to find research to prove, it’s not always there. We just don’t know whether it’s true or not.”What is it about colour
With the difficulties, researchers have done some research on how people respond to colours. Studies found much stronger responses (反应) to a colour’s brightness and saturation. Brightness means lightness or darkness. Saturation is how pure (纯净) a colour is.
In one study, researchers from British Columbia tested responses to “Rainbow Paint” ads. Brightly coloured ads led to greater feelings of excitement and more positive (正面的) opinions of the ads. People also liked ads more when they had greater colour saturation.
Colour is a huge part of our lives, so it’s possible that it influences our moods. However, researchers are a long way from making conclusions about how different colours should make us feel. At the same time, you had better decorate your room in your own favourite colours. After all, your personal tastes say a lot about what makes you happy.

64．What should companies do when making ads according to the study of British Columbia
A．Use more colours in ads.
B．Avoid dark and pale colours in ads.
C．Mix different colours in ads.
D．Draw rainbows in ads.
65．Which of the following may the writer agree
A．It’s true that colours decide our moods.
B．It’s wise to use colours to express ourselves clearly.
C．Companies should use ads to become successful.
D．We’d better choose our favourite colours in daily life.
Blue is a very common color in our lives—the sky, the sea and even face masks are often blue. But this color is not frequently (经常) seen in plants. Why is that
A．Because blue plants would blend in (融合) with the sky and sea.
B．Because animals prefer to eat blue plants.
C． Because the material that gives plants a blue color is rare (稀有的).
D．Because blue isn’t a beneficial (有助的) color for plant growth.
The correct answer is D．
There is no true blue pigment (色素) in nature. When light hits an object (物体), the object absorbs (吸收) some colors and reflects (反射) others. For example, plants look green because they reflect green light and absorb other colors. Blue light offers more energy than other colors. However, if a plant has blue leaves, according to scientists from the University of Adelaide in Australia, it must absorb (吸收) very small amounts of energy while reflecting high-energy blue light. This is not a good strategy (策略) for growth.
Less than 10 percent of plants are blue. Plants make blue flowers by mixing pigments. For example, anthocyanins (花青素) can turn into a blue-like color with a certain amount of acidity (酸度). Plants may make use of this unique color to attract pollinators (传粉者), such as bees.
66．What is the main reason that blue is not frequently seen in plants, according to the text
A．Blue plants blend in with the sky and sea.
B．Animals prefer to avoid blue plants.
C．The material needed to produce blue color in plants is rare.
D．Blue is not helpful to plant growth.
67．Which of the following statements about light and objects is true
A．Objects absorb all colors of light.
B．Objects reflect all colors of light.
C．The object absorbs some colors and reflects others.
D．Objects change colors depending on the light source.
68．According to scientists from the University of Adelaide, what happens to a plant with blue leaves
A．It absorbs more energy from blue light.
B．It reflects all colors of light equally.
C．It absorbs very little energy while reflecting high-energy blue light.
D．It uses blue light for photosynthesis (光合作用) more efficiently.
69．What percentage of plants have blue flowers or leaves

What do comic book villains have in common They harm others or break the law to get what they want. Another thing is that they often wear costumes in green and purple colors, and some even have green or purple skin. But why do they wear these colors Let’s find out.
First, let’s look at culture and history. In Shakespeare’s play Othello, a character warns another about envy and calls it a “green-eyed monster”. This is where the saying “green with envy” comes from. However, even before this play, people connected the color green with negative (消极的) feelings like greed. The ancient Greeks believed that when a person was sick, their skin might turn green because of too much bile (胆汁). Over time, green has come to stand for greed, sickness, envy, and ambition—feelings that are often found in villains.
But what about purple The color purple is often connected with power. It is not a color that we see a lot in nature, and in ancient times, purple dye (染料) was very hard to make. This made it rare and expensive, so only the most powerful people could afford it. In ancient Rome, only leaders could wear clothes in purple, and in England, Queen Elizabeth I allowed only close relatives to wear purple. So, when a villain is shown wearing purple, it suggests they are powerful or think of themselves as powerful. It also shows that they want respect from others.
Now, let’s look at color theory (理论). When the three primary colors ( red, yellow, and blue) are mixed together, they create white light. If you mix any two primary colors, you get one of the three secondary colors: orange, purple, or green. Most superheroes wear at least one primary color, and some have all three. If heroes wear bright primary colors, comic artists often use secondary colors like green and purple for villains. This way, even if you don’t know the story or the characters, you can quickly tell the heroes and villains apart just from their colors.

Many scientists find that colors can change people’s feelings. It’s very interesting. Some colors can make people feel relaxed, and some colors can make people feel nervous.
Now, this kind of knowledge is being used in many places. For example, school walls are always painted green because green makes students feel relaxed. It is also good for the students’ eyes. Some books are also green or light blue for the same reason.
Restaurant owners not only have to know how to make food, but also have to know how to make money. Here are the things they’ve learned from scientist studies. The color red makes people hungry. Many fast food restaurants have red furniture or walls. Soft colors like pink and light blue make people feel relaxed, so they spend more time eating. Loud music may be nice at first, but it soon makes people want to leave. Hard seats also make customers want to eat quickly and leave. Many restaurants, especially fast food restaurants, use this knowledge to make customers eat faster.
