試題分析：

1.Do you prefer greys and blues? Then you are probably quiet, shy, and you would rather follow than lead. You tend to be pessimist(悲觀主義者).可知此處是對你性格的分析。故選擇D，意為如果你喜歡黃色、橘色、紅色，那么你是個(gè)樂觀主義者。

2.根據(jù)上文的this is what psychologists tell us, and they should know,此處是闡述的心理學(xué)家的研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，故選擇B，意為心理學(xué)家告訴我們，我們并不是因?yàn)殚L大而選擇自己最喜歡的顏色，而是天生就有這樣的偏愛。

3.根據(jù)下文的內(nèi)容可知，黃色的房間比深綠的房間會讓人們更放松，而紅色在憂郁的冬日則會帶來溫暖。故本段講的是顏色對情緒的影響，選擇G。

4.根據(jù)下文的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可知，黑色的橋梁曾成為更多自殺事件的發(fā)生地。故選擇A，意為黑色讓人沮喪。

5.根據(jù)下文的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.可知，當(dāng)工廠的機(jī)器被刷成橘色而不是黑色或灰色時(shí)，工人的工作更好，事故也更少。故選擇E，意為明亮的顏色不僅使人更高興也使人更積極。
