【解析】

試題分析:你喜歡黃色，橙色還是喜歡灰色和黑色呢？科學(xué)表明喜歡明快色彩的人們更加樂(lè)觀，而喜歡灰色等色調(diào)的人們則是更為靦腆。而且心理學(xué)家認(rèn)為對(duì)于色彩的喜好一般是出生時(shí)候就已經(jīng)確定了的。不僅如此色彩也影響著人們的情緒和心情。

1.考查對(duì)上下文的理解和判斷能力。根據(jù)后句內(nèi)容Do you prefer grey and blue? Then you are probably quiet, shy, and you would rather follow than lead．可知喜歡紅色，黃色的人們都是開(kāi)朗樂(lè)觀的人，故答案選D。

2.考查對(duì)上下文的理解和判斷能力。根據(jù)后句中的as soon as you opened your eyes，or at least as soon as you could see clearly 可以判斷此處指對(duì)色彩的偏好是出生時(shí)候就確定了的，而且C選項(xiàng)內(nèi)容中的they恰好可以指代上文中的psychologists，故答案選C。

3.考查對(duì)上下文的理解和概括能力。下文講述了色彩對(duì)人們情緒的影響，由此判斷G選項(xiàng)內(nèi)容Colors do influence our moods—there is no doubt about it可以起到概括下文的作用，故選G。

4.考查對(duì)上下文的理解和判斷能力。上文出現(xiàn)了on the one hand，由此判斷A選項(xiàng)On the other hand，black is depressing．符合語(yǔ)境，選A。

5.考查對(duì)上下文的理解和判斷能力。根據(jù)后句內(nèi)容可知當(dāng)機(jī)器被刷成明亮的顏色時(shí)，人們會(huì)工作更加賣(mài)力，事故也少發(fā)生，由此判斷E選項(xiàng)內(nèi)容Light and bright colors make people not only happier but more active符合語(yǔ)境，選E。
