71．D聯(lián)系下文題．根據(jù)下文問答形式可以看出，這句是說如果喜歡的顏色是yellow，orange，red，你可能是optimist類型的人．此句與下文的pessimist照應，故選D．
72．B結(jié)構(gòu)分析題．根據(jù)上文意思，此句應該還是psychologists告訴我們的情況，此空與上文是并列關(guān)系．根據(jù)下文可知我們對顏色的喜好是天生就有的（we are born with our preference．）．B項符合語境．故選B．
73．G聯(lián)系下文題．根據(jù)空后的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． 可知比起深綠色，黃色的房間使大多數(shù)人更快樂、更放松；紅色的衣服給悲傷的冬日帶來溫暖和歡樂． 此處說明"顏色能夠影響我們的情緒．"，故選G．
74．A語境辨析題．根據(jù)后句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．可知倫敦泰晤士河上的一座黑色的橋，曾經(jīng)是自殺的現(xiàn)場，現(xiàn)在它被粉刷成綠色．此處說明黑色對人們的影響，故選A．
75．E總結(jié)歸納題．根據(jù)本段內(nèi)容尤其是最后一句have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black or grey．可知是關(guān)于那些淡的和明亮顏色對人的情緒的影響．故選E．
