8、Color is caused by (11) light rays. We see color because objects reflect light. Something that is red reflects (12) red light. It reflects a little green or blue light, too, but we do not see it. In the same way, a green object reflects mostly green light. White objects reflect (13) of light. Black

9、objects do not reflect any light. What happens to the colors of light that are not reflected? They are absorbed by the object. The (14) the color, the less light is reflected and the more light is absorbed. Light that is absorbed is (15) heat. For this reason, dark-colored clothes are warmer in the

Task 1 Directions: After reading the following passage, you will find 5 questions or unfinished

18、statements, numbered 36 through 40. For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A, B, C, and D. You should make the correct choice. 36 What is your favorite color? Do you like yellow, orange and red? If you do, you must be an optimist (乐观主义者 ), a leader, an active person who enjoys lif

19、e, people and excitement. Do you prefer greys and blues? Then you are probably quiet, shy, and you would rather follow than lead. You tend to be a pessimist (悲观主义者 ). At least, this is what psychologists tell us, and they should know, because they have been seriously studying the meaning of color pr

20、eference, as well as the effect that colors have on human beings. They tell us, among other facts, that we do not choose our favorite color as we grow up - we are born with our preference. 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

21、clearly. Colors do influence our moods - there is no doubt about it. 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. On the other hand, black is depressing. A black bridge over the Thames Ri

22、ver, near London, used to be the scene of more suicides 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. Light and bright colors make peo

23、ple not only happier but more active. 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. 36 “You would rather follow than lead“ means _. （ A） you dont like to follow others （ B） you would be a

24、 member rather than a leader （ C） you would be afraid of following others （ D） you would like to be a leader rather than a follower 37 If one enjoys life, one is sure to prefer _. （ A） red to yellow （ B） blue to orange （ C） red to grey （ D） blue to yellow 38 “They tell us, among other facts, that we

25、 dont choose our favorite colors as we grow up.“ “Among other facts“ means “_“. （ A） besides other facts （ B） in regard to other facts （ C） not considering other facts （ D） according to other facts 39 Which of the following is true? （ A） Peoples preference of one color to another is instinct. （ B） P

26、eoples preference of one color to another is acquired as they grow up. （ C） More people happen to love brown because they saw something brown when they were born. （ D） Colors have little influence on our moods. 40 Those who committed suicide preferred the bridge over the Thames River near London to

27、others because of _. （ A） its shape （ B） its structure （ C） its color （ D） its building materials Task 2 Directions: This task is the same as Task 1. The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 through 45. 41 How men learnt to invent words is unknown; in other words, the origin of langu

28、age is a mystery. All we really know is that men, unlike animals, somehow invented certain sounds to express thoughts and feelings, actions and things, so that they could communicate with each other; and that later they agreed upon certain signs, called letters, which could be combined to represent

29、those sounds, and which could be written down. Those sounds, whether spoken or written in letters, we call words. The power of words, then, lies in their associations - the things they bring up before our minds. Words become filled with meaning for us by experience; and the longer we live, the more

30、certain words recall to us the glad and sad events of our past; and the more we read and learn, the more the number of words that mean something to us increases. Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words which appeal (吸引 ) powerfully to our min

31、ds and emotions. This charming and telling (有效的，有力的 ) words is what we call literary style. Above all, the real poet is a master of words. He can convey his meaning in words which sing like music, and which by their position and association can move men to tears. We should therefore learn to choose

32、our words carefully and use them accurately (精确地 ), or they will make our speech silly and vulgar (粗俗的；无礼的 ). 41 One of the reasons why men invented certain sounds to express thoughts and actions was that _. （ A） they could agree upon certain signs （ B） they could write them down （ C） they could com

33、municate with each other （ D） they could combine them 42 What is true about words? （ A） They are used to express feelings only. （ B） They are simply sounds. （ C） They can not be written down. （ D） They are mysterious. 43 Which of the following statements is true? （ A） The more we read and learn, the

34、 more ignorant we are. （ B） The more we read and learn, the more confused we will be. （ C） The more we read and learn, the more learned we are. （ D） The more we read and learn, the more snobbish we become. 44 In expressing their thoughts, great writers are able _. （ A） to confound the readers （ B） t

35、o move our action （ C） to puzzle our feelings （ D） to move men to tears 45 We can make our speech refined and polished _. （ A） by using words with care and accuracy （ B） by using words at random （ C） by using bombastic words （ D） by using resounding words Task 3 Directions: The following is a passag
