What is your favorite color? Do you like yellow, orange, red? __1.___ Do you prefer greys and blues? Then you are probably quiet, shy, and you would rather follow than lead. You tend to be pessimist. 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. __4.__ A black bridge over the Thames River, near London, used to be the scene of more suicides(自殺) than any other bridge in the area—until it was repainted green. The number of suicide attempts immediately fell sharply. Perhaps it would have fallen even more if the bridge had been done in pink or baby blue.

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

B. On the other hand, black is depressing.

C. The rooms are painted in different colors as you like.

D. Light and bright colors make people not only happier but more active.

E. Life is like a picture or a poem, full of different colors.

F. If you do, you must be an optimist, a leader, an active person who enjoys life, people and excitement.

G. Colors do influence our moods—there is no doubt about it.

You may know the Eiffel Tower as one of the most famous man-made monuments in the world, and you’d be absolutely right! Read on to learn about the history of the great Eiffel Tower.

Travelers from around the world flock(蜂擁)to Paris, France, to visit the Eiffel Tower, making it the most visited paid monument in the entire world! In fact, in 2010, the Eiffel Tower welcomed its 250 millionth visitor!

The history of the Eiffel Tower

The Eiffel Tower was named after the engineer Gustave Eiffel, whose company designed and built the famous monument. Construction began in January of 1887 and was completed in only two years. Their plan was to finish the tower in time to be the entrance arch for the World’s Fair in 1889. This fair celebrated the 100th anniversary of the French Revolution, which took place from 1789 to 1799.

The height competition

Located on the Champs de Mars, the tower is the tallest structure in Paris. It was the tallest man-made structure in the world for 41 years until the Chrysler Building in New York surpassed(超過) it. Then the spire(塔尖) on the top of the tower was added, raising its height to 17 feet taller than the Chrysler Building. It is now 1,063 feet tall! There are two replicas(復(fù)制品) of the Eiffel Tower in the world: a half scale model at the Paris Hotel in Las Vegas and a full-sized monument of a similar (but not exact) design in Tokyo, Japan.

Three shades of wonder

Some pictures make the Eiffel Tower look like a dark iron color. But it is, in fact, bronze. Not only that, but the tower is actually painted three different shades to make it appear even taller: darkest on the bottom and lightest on the top.

1.The Eiffel Tower was constructed to ________.

A. show great respect for Gustave Eiffel

B. make Paris the most visited city in the world

C. show the French people’s construction skill

D. celebrate the 100th anniversary of the French Revolution

2.Which of the following does the author mention in the passage?

A. The political meaning of the Eiffel Tower.

B. The disadvantages of the Eiffel Tower.

C. The location of the Eiffel Tower.

D. The cost of the Eiffel Tower.

3.Where can you find a structure similar to the Eiffel Tower according to the passage?

A. In New York.

B. In Las Vegas.

C. In Los Angeles.

D. In Florida.

4.The main purpose of the passage is to ________.

A. tell visitors where to find the replicas of the Eiffel Tower

B. raise people’s awareness of protecting the Eiffel Tower

C. offer people some information about the Eiffel Tower

D. call on people to visit the Eiffel Tower

科目：高中英語 來源：2016-2017學(xué)年新疆石河子一中高一10月考英語試卷（解析版） 題型：閱讀理解

Until late in the 20th century, most Americans spent time with people of generations. Now mid-aged Americans may not keep in touch with old people until they are old themselves. That’s because we group people by age. We put our three-year-olds together in day-care center, our 13-year-olds in school and sports activities, and our 80-year-olds in senior-citizen homes. Why?

We live away from the old for many reasons: young people sometimes avoid the old to get rid of fears for aging and dying. It is much harder to watch someone we love disappear before our eyes. Sometimes it’s so hard that we stay away from the people who need us most.

Fortunately, some of us have found our way to the old. And we have discovered that they often save the young.

A reporter moved her family onto a block filled with old people. At first her children were disappointed. But the reporter baked banana bread for the neighbors and had her children deliver it and visit them. Soon the children had many new friends, with whom they shared food, stories and projects. “My children have never been less lonely,” the reporter said.

The young, in turn, save the old. Once I was in a rest home when a visitor showed up with a baby. She was immediately surrounded. People who hadn’t gotten out of bed in a week suddenly were ringing for a wheelchair. Even those who had seemed asleep wake up to watch the child. Babies have an astonishing power to comfort and cure.

Grandparents are a special case. They give grandchildren a feeling of security and continuity. As my husband put it, “my grandparents gave me a deep sense that things would turn out right in the end.”

Grandchildren speak of attention they don’t get from worried parents. “My parents were always telling me to hurry up, and my grandparents told me to slow down,” one friend said. A teacher told me she can tell which pupils have relationships with grandparents: they are quieter, calmer, more trusting.

1. Now in an American family, people can find that ____.

A. children never live with their parents

B. not all working people live with their parents

C. aged people are supported by their grandchildren

D. grandchildren are supported by their grandparents

2. The reason why old people are left alone may be that ____.

A. the old don’t like to live in a big family

B. the young can’t get enough money to support the old

C. different generations have different lifestyles

D. the old are too weak to live with the young

3. The fact that the reporter told us shows that ___.

A. old people in America lead a hard life

B. old people in America enjoy banana bread

C. she had no time to take care of her children

D. old people are easy to get along with

4. Seeing a baby, the old people get excited because ____.

A. they had never seen a baby before

B. the baby was clever and beautiful

C. the baby brought them the image of life

D. the baby’s mother would take care of them
