If they sense color differences, then perhaps we, too, are affected by color without knowing it.Salesmen have discovered by experience over a long period of time that sugar sells badly in green wrappings（包装）， that blue foods are considered not agreeable to the taste, and that cosmetics（化妆品） should never be packed in brown. Their discoveries have grown into a whole subject of color psychology（心理学）。 Some of our preferences（偏爱） for colors are clearly psychological. Dark blue is the color of the night sky and therefore connected with calm, while yellow is a day color connected with energy and encouragement. Experiments have shown that colors, partly because they are connected with psychology, also have a direct effect on peoples mind. People in bright red surroundings show an increase in breathing speed, heartbeat and blood pressure; red is exciting. Pure blue has exactly the opposite effect; it is a calming color. Being exciting, red was chosen as the signal for danger, but a close study shows that a bright yellow can produce a more basic state of alarm, so fire engines in some advanced areas are now rushing around in bright yellow colors that stop buses, trucks and cars.46. The passage tells us that salesmen have _.A. discovered the relationship between color and psychologyB. tried out colors on blind peopleC. found out that color affect salesD. developed a special subject of color psychology47. It can be inferred from the passage that _.A. what color we prefer depends on our state of mindB. foods sell well in green or blue wrappingsC. blind people cannot sense color differenceD. a bright yellow has exactly the opposite effect to red48. If people are exposed to（置身于） pure blue, _.A. their blood pressure rises B. they want to taste blue foodsC. they will feel like buying things D. they wont easily feel nervous49. The most effective color in the passage for warning people is _.A. red B. dark blue C. bright yellow D. green50. Which of the following do you think is the best title of the passage?A. Colors and sales B. Colors and feelingsC. The blind and colors D. Preferences for colorsBThe Bedouin people think most highly of people who show loyalty. To them loyalty does not mean that one is devoted to a country, a place, or a leader. Loyalty means being faithful to ones family and tribe（部落）。The Bedouin people take pride in their ancestors（祖先）。 They do not admire a hero from an ordinary or poor family as much as one who comes from an honored family. They particularly respect those who have received a good name from their ancestors and then have passed it on to their children.A mans position among the black-tent people depends upon his ancestors, relatives, and fellow tribesmen. If they are honored, he is also honored. If they are disgraced, he too is disgraced. Therefore one carefully guards the honor of his family, his lineage（血统），and his tribe.A man can protect his familys honor by being brave and generous and by giving protection to those who ask for it. He also guards it by carefully watching the women of his family.A Bedouin woman cannot bring honor to her family, but she can bring disgrace. Even if a woman only looks as if she has done wrong, she may be killed. The honor of her family depends upon her virtue（美德）。51.It can be inferred from the passage that a Bedouin man will feel disgraced if he_.A. does not succeed in businessB. needs to ask for help from his brothersC. does nothing when a member of his family is badly treatedD. does not help a stranger who asks for assistance52.The Bedouin people respect those who_.A. leave their families to seek success on their ownB. value their families more than anything elseC. become heroes with an ordinary family backgroundD. are devoted to their country53.We can learn from this passage that Bedouin women are_.A. treated as the equals of menB. listened carefully when they tell their side of a storyC. respected for the many things they doD. not respected as much as men54.The word “disgrace” means “_” in this text.A. honorB. dangerC. prideD. shame第二节 根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项.选项中有两项为多余选项Television has opened windows in everybodys life. 55 Millions of people now have seen the effects of a battle. And the result has been a general dislike of the war and perhaps more interest in helping those who suffer from all the terrible things that have been shown on the screen.56 The most distant areas can now follow state affairs, see and hear the politicians before an election. Better informed, people are more likely to vote, and so to make their opinion count.57 Children do not have enough experience to realize that TV shows present an unreal world, that TV advertisements lie to sell products that are sometimes bad or useless. They believe and want to practice what they see. 58 .All educators agree that the “television generation” are more violent than their parents and grandparents. Also, the young are less patient. Used to TV shows, where everything is quick and interesting, they do not have the patience to read an article without pictures, t read a book that requires thinking, to listen to a teacher who doesnt do funny things like the people on childrens programs. And they expect all problems to be solved happily in ten, fifteen , or thirty minutes. 59 .A. Unfortunately, televisions influence has been extremely harmful to the young.B. Young men will never again go to war as they did in 1914.C. Thats the time it takes on the screen.D. They do believe that the violence they see is normal and acceptable.E.
