【解析】

试题分析:你喜欢黄色，橙色还是喜欢灰色和黑色呢？科学表明喜欢明快色彩的人们更加乐观，而喜欢灰色等色调的人们则是更为腼腆。而且心理学家认为对于色彩的喜好一般是出生时候就已经确定了的。不仅如此色彩也影响着人们的情绪和心情。

1.考查对上下文的理解和判断能力。根据后句内容Do you prefer grey and blue? Then you are probably quiet, shy, and you would rather follow than lead．可知喜欢红色，黄色的人们都是开朗乐观的人，故答案选D。

2.考查对上下文的理解和判断能力。根据后句中的as soon as you opened your eyes，or at least as soon as you could see clearly 可以判断此处指对色彩的偏好是出生时候就确定了的，而且C选项内容中的they恰好可以指代上文中的psychologists，故答案选C。

3.考查对上下文的理解和概括能力。下文讲述了色彩对人们情绪的影响，由此判断G选项内容Colors do influence our moods—there is no doubt about it可以起到概括下文的作用，故选G。

4.考查对上下文的理解和判断能力。上文出现了on the one hand，由此判断A选项On the other hand，black is depressing．符合语境，选A。

5.考查对上下文的理解和判断能力。根据后句内容可知当机器被刷成明亮的颜色时，人们会工作更加卖力，事故也少发生，由此判断E选项内容Light and bright colors make people not only happier but more active符合语境，选E。
