【題目】

What is your favorite color? Do you like yellow, orange and red? 【1】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. 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】 A yellow room makes most people more cheerful and more relaxed than a dark green one. And a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest 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 fell sharply. Perhaps it would have fallen even more if the bridge had been done in pink or baby blue.

【5】 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.

A. On the other hand, black is depressing.

B. They tell us, among those facts, that we don’t choose our favorite color as we grow up—we are born with our preference.

C. The rooms are painted in different colours as you like.

D. If you do, you must be an optimist, a leader, an active person who enjoys life, people and excitement.

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 colours.

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

【答案】

【1】D

【2】B

【3】G

【4】A

【5】E

【解析】本文介紹了顏色以及對人類的影響。

【1】D根據(jù)下一句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.可知，喜歡灰色系的人是悲觀主義者；那么喜歡亮的顏色的人很可能是樂觀主義者。故D項符合上下文意思。

【2】B根據(jù)下段內(nèi)容說明人們對顏色的偏愛是天生的，是生來就有的，后天無法培養(yǎng)出來的。故B項符合上下文意思。

【3】G根據(jù)下文黃色能讓人感覺更興奮、更放松，說明顏色能影響我們的情緒。故G項符合上下文意思。

【4】A根據(jù)下文的例子：在泰晤士河畔有一座黑色的橋，在這座橋上自殺的人要比在其他橋上的更多。說明黑色代表著壓抑。故選A。

【5】E根據(jù)下面的例子機器被粉刷成橙色而不是黑色或者灰色，說明淡的顏色會讓人更開心更積極。故選E。

【題目】When The New Republic magazine predicted who would win the 2016 Nobel Prize in literature on Oct 6, it said：“Not Bob Dylan. That’s for sure.”

But the award came as a surprise to many. On Oct 13, the famous US musician was named the Nobel laureate by the Swedish Academy. He has “created new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition", according to the organization.

Although Dylan, 75, is not really thought to be a literary writer, he has given the world a lot of creative work over 50 years, especially when it comes to his folk songs.

In his 1985 album Biograph, Dylan wrote about the appeal of folk music to him. Rock songs “weren’t serious enough or didn’t reflect life in a realistic way", according to Dylan. But folk, was “a more serious type of thing. The songs are filled with more sadness; more joy …much deeper feelings".

Dylan’s music and lyrics spoke to many people during the 1960s. His lyrics were often about great political issues, such as the civil rights movement. The 1960s were a time of change when the young were making sure that their voices were heard. The idea is most famously expressed in Dylan's The Times They Are a -Changin (1964), which warns the world, “You better start swimming or you'll sink like a stone. For the times they are a-changin！”

There were complaints that a literary prize had been given to a singer. But ancient “Greek poets Homer and Sappho wrote poetic works that were meant to be listened to, that were meant to be performed, often with instruments — and it’s the same way with Dylan", the Swedish Academy’s permanent secretary Sara Danius told CNN.

It could even be said that giving the important prize to Dylan has brought back an old literary tradition. The millions whose lives Dylan’s words and music have changed will surely welcome the award.

【1】Dylan found folk music attractive because ________.

A. it brought joy to people

B. it could be used to express feelings freely

C. it reflected life on a much deeper level

D. it needed more creativity than other types of music

【2】Which of the following statements is TRUE about Dylan according to the article?

A. He never thought that he would win the Nobel Prize.

B. Most of his influential works were created in the 1960s.

C. His songs expressed people’s feelings well during the 1960s.

D. His fans were mostly young people who were active in political movements.

【3】According to the last two paragraphs, ________.

A. lyrics can be seen as a literary form

B. a literary prize should not be given to a singer

C. Dylan’s works were inspired by Greek poets

D. Dylan deserves the award because he influenced many songwriters

【4】What’s the author’s attitude toward giving Bob Dylan the 2016 Nobel Prize in literature?

A. supportive B. objective C. sceptical D. ambiguous
