Answer 1

分析 本文主要介绍了人们对于颜色的喜好是天生就有的．颜色能够影响我们的情绪，比起深绿色，黄色的房间使大多数人更快乐、更放松；红色的衣服给悲伤的冬日带来温暖和欢乐．

解答 DBGAE
71．D联系下文题．根据下文问答形式可以看出，这句是说如果喜欢的颜色是yellow，orange，red，你可能是optimist类型的人．此句与下文的pessimist照应，故选D．
72．B结构分析题．根据上文意思，此句应该还是psychologists告诉我们的情况，此空与上文是并列关系．根据下文可知我们对颜色的喜好是天生就有的（we are born with our preference．）．B项符合语境．故选B．
73．G联系下文题．根据空后的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． 可知比起深绿色，黄色的房间使大多数人更快乐、更放松；红色的衣服给悲伤的冬日带来温暖和欢乐． 此处说明"颜色能够影响我们的情绪．"，故选G．
74．A语境辨析题．根据后句A black bridge over the Thames River，near London，used to be the scene of more suicides（自杀） than any other bridge in the area---until it was repainted green．可知伦敦泰晤士河上的一座黑色的桥，曾经是自杀的现场，现在它被粉刷成绿色．此处说明黑色对人们的影响，故选A．
75．E总结归纳题．根据本段内容尤其是最后一句have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black or grey．可知是关于那些淡的和明亮颜色对人的情绪的影响．故选E．
