What is your favorite color? Do you like yellow, orange and red? 1. ．Do you prefer grey and blue? Then you are probably quiet, shy, and you would rather follow than lead．You tend to be a pessimist（悲觀主義者）．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. ．On the one hand，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 coldest 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 self-evident that factory workers work better, harder, and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black or grey．

A．On the other hand，black is depressing．

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

C．They tell us that we do not choose our favorite color as grow up—we are born with our preference．

D．If you do，you must be an optimist（樂觀主義者），a leader or an active person who enjoys life．

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

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

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

1.D

2.C

3.G

4.A

5.E

【解析】

試題分析：文章大意：文章講的是顏色及它們所代表的含義。

1.1】D根據(jù)下一句Do you prefer grays and blues? Then you are probably quiet, shy, and you would rather follow than lead. You tend to be a pessimist（悲觀者）說明喜歡灰色系的人是悲觀主義者；那么喜歡這些亮的顏色的人很可能是樂觀主義者。故D項(xiàng)符合上下文。

2.2】C 根據(jù)下段內(nèi)容說明人們對(duì)顏色的偏愛是天生的，是生來就有的，后天無法培養(yǎng)出來。故C項(xiàng)解釋符合上下文。

3.3】G 根據(jù)下文黃色能讓人感覺更興奮更放松，說明顏色可以影響我們的情緒。故G項(xiàng)符合上下文。

4.4】A根據(jù)下文的例子泰晤士河上的黑顏色的橋過去常常是人們自殺的地方。說明黑色代表著壓抑。故A正確。

5.5】E 根據(jù)下面的例子機(jī)器被粉刷成橙色而不是黑色或者灰色，說明淡的顏色會(huì)讓人感覺更開心更積極。

My father was a foreman of a sugar-cane plantation in Rio Piedras, Puerto Rico. My first job was to drive the oxen that ploughed the cane fields. I would walk behind an ox, guiding him with a broomstick. For $ 1 a day, I worked eight hours straight, with no food breaks.

It was very tedious work, but it prepared me for life and taught me many lasting lessons. Because the plantation owners were always watching us, I had to be on time every day and work as hard as I could. I’ve never been late for any job since. I also learned about being respectful and faithful to the people you work for. More important, I earned my pay; it never entered my mind to say I was sick just because I didn’t want to work.

I was only six years old, but I was doing a man’s job. Our family needed every dollar we could make because my father never earned more than $ 18 a week. Our home was a three-room wood shack with a dirty floor and no toilet. Nothing made me prouder than bringing home money to help my mother, father, two brothers and three sisters. This gave me self-esteem(自尊心), one of the most important things a person can have.

When I was seven, I got work at a golf course near our house. My job was to stand down the fairway and spot the balls as they landed, so the golfers could find them. Losing a ball meant you were fired, so I never missed one. Some nights I would lie in bed and dreamt of making thousands of dollars by playing golf and being able to buy a bicycle.

The more I dreamed, the more I thought. Why not? I made my first golf club out of guava limb(番石榴樹枝) and a piece of pipe. Then I hammered an empty tin can into the shape of a ball. And finally I dug two small holes in the ground and hit the ball back and forth. I practiced with the same devotion and intensity. I learned working in the field — except now I was driving golf balls with club, not oxen with a broomstick.

1.The writer’s first job was _______.

A. to stand down the fairway at a golf course

B. to watch over the sugar-cane plantation

C. to drive the oxen that ploughed the cane fields

D. to spot the balls as they landed so the golfers could find them

2.The word “tedious” in Paragraph 2 most probably means _______.

A. difficult B. boring

C. interesting D. unusual

3._______ gave the writer serf-esteem.

A. Having a family of eight people

B. Owning his own golf course

C. Bringing money back home to help the family

D. Helping his father with the work on the plantation

4.Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?

A. He wanted to be a successful golfer.

B. He wanted to run a golf course near his house.

C. He was satisfied with the job he got on a plantation.

D. He wanted to make money by guiding oxen with a broomstick.

It was one of those terribly hot days in Baltimore. Needless to say, it was too hot to do anything outside. But it was also scorching in our apartment. This was 1962, and I would not live in a place with an air conditioner for another ten years. So my brother and I decided to leave the apartment to find someplace indoors. He suggested we could see a movie. It was a brilliant plan.

Movie theaters were one of the few places you could sit all day and—most important —sit in air conditioning. In those days, you could buy one ticket and sit through two movies. Then, the theater would show the same two movies again. If you wanted to, you could sit through them twice. Most people did not do that, but the manager at our theater. Mr. Bellow did not mind if you did.

That particular day, my brother and I sat through both movies twice, trying to escape the heat. We bought three bags of popcorn and three sodas each. Then, we sat and watched The Music Man followed by The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance. We’d already seen the second movie once before. It had been at the theater since January, because Mr. Bellow loved anything with John Wayne in it.

We left the theater around 8, just before the evening shows began. But we returned the next day and saw the same two movies again, twice more. And we did it the next day too. Finally, on the fourth day, the heat wave broke.

Still, to this day I can sing half the songs in The Music Man and recite half of John Wayne and Jimmy Stewart’s dialogue from The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance! Those memories are some of the few I have of the heat wave of 1962. They’re really memories of the screen, not memories of my life.

1.In which year did the author first live in a place with an air conditioner?

A. 1952 B. 1962 C. 1972 D. 1982

2.What does the underlined word“It” in Paragraph 3 refer to?

A. The heat B. The theater.

C. The Music Man D. The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance

3.What do we know about Mr. Bellow?

A. He loved children very much.

B. He was a fan of John Wayne.

C. He sold air conditioners.

D. He was a movie star.

4.Why did the author and his/her brother see the same movies several times?

A. The two movies were really wonderful.

B. They wanted to avoid the heat outside.

C. The manager of the theater was friendly.

D. They liked the popcorn and the soda at the theater.

5.What can we learn from the last paragraph?

A. The author turned out to be a great singer.

B. The author enjoyed the heat wave of 1962.

C. The author’s life has been changed by the two movies.

D. The author considers the experience at the theater unforgettable.

If you put a buzzard（禿鷹） in a pen(圍欄) six to eight feet square and entirely open at the top, the bird, in spite of its ability to fly, will be a prisoner. The reason is that a buzzard always begins a flight from the ground with a run of ten to twelve feet. Without space to run, it will not even attempt to fly, but remain a prisoner for life in a small prison with no top.

The ordinary bat that flies around at night, a remarkably nimble creature in the air, cannot take off from a level place. If it is placed on the floor or flat ground, all it can do is to shuffle about helplessly and, no doubt, painfully, until it reaches some slight height from which it can throw itself into the air. Then, at once, it takes off like a flash.

A bumblebee (大黃蜂), if dropped into an open tumbler(平底玻璃杯), will be there until it dies, unless it is taken out. It never sees the means of escape at the top, but insists on trying to find some way out through the sides near the bottom. It will seek a way where none exists until it completely destroys itself.

In many ways, there are lots of people like the buzzard, the bat and the bumblebee. They are struggling about with all their problems and frustrations, not realizing that the answer is right there above them.

1.Why does a buzzard choose to stay in a pen?

A. Because it is safe to live there.

B. Because it gets used to living there.

C. Because it cannot take off within an limited area.

D. Because it lost its ability to fly.

2. The underlined word in the second paragraph probably means “ .”

A. to run slowly B. to move slowly

C. to pace slowly D. to fly slowly

3.A bumblebee will completely destroy itself for .

A. it does not look for a way out above

B. it is dropped into an open cage

C. it does not try to find a way to escape

D. it hurts itself while flying

4. In which way are many people similar to a buzzard, an ordinary bat and a bumblebee?

A. They are overcoming all their problems and frustrations.

B. They are all content with the things as they are.

C. They choose to give in to problems and frustrations.

D. They do not seek new ways to deal with difficulties.
