【解析】試題分析：本文是一篇科學(xué)研究類文章。主要介紹了喜歡某一種顏色的人，相應(yīng)的表現(xiàn)出對應(yīng)的性格。不同的顏色能帶給人不同的心情。黃色能使人放松、歡快；灰色、黑色甚至能增加自殺率和工廠的事故率。

【1】語境推斷題。根據(jù)第一自然段Do you prefer greys and blues?Then you are probably quiet，shy, and you would rather follow than lead.本句先是提問你喜歡哪些顏色呢？然后回答你可能具有相應(yīng)的性格。而Do you like yellow, orange，red?應(yīng)該是類似的。故選擇D。

【2】語境推斷題。第一自然段At least,this is what psychologists tell us，and they should know...意思是心理學(xué)家告訴我們這些，他們也應(yīng)該知道空【2】后面If you happen to love brown，you did so，as soon as you opened your eyes…意思是如果你碰巧喜歡棕色，只要你能睜開眼睛或清晰地看見，你就會如此做…可知只有B才能銜接上下文的意思。故選擇B。

【3】段意慨括題。第二自然段主要講了顏色能影響我們的心情。A yellow room makes most people feel…譯黃色使人輕松愉快，and a red dress brings warmth…譯紅色使人感到溫暖.A black bridge over the Thames River…譯黑色提高自殺率等等。故選擇G。

【4】語境推斷題。第二段【4】 A black bridge over the Thames River, near London，used to be the scene of more suicides(自殺) than …泰晤士河上的一座黑色橋在被刷成綠色前，常常被選為自殺的場所�？芍�黑色能使人感到抑郁。故選擇A。

【5】段意慨括題。最后一段It is an established fact that factory workers work better, harder…大意為如果機(jī)器被刷成橘黃色，工人將有更高的工作效率，更少的意外事故發(fā)生。故選擇E。
