    The color green in ancient Egypt symbolized spring, which is the time of _______ year when things in nature start to grow after _______ long winter.

    A．/; aB．the; theC．/; theD．the; a

    A

    解析试题分析：考查冠词辨析。第一空后的名称Year是一个抽象名词，单独使用；通常来说在四个季节前面不要冠词，但是当季节前面有形容词修饰的时候，可以加上a/an来修饰。本题的a long winter指一个很长的冬天。故A正确。
    考点：考查冠词辨析
    点评：冠词的用法集中在the表示泛指；a/an表示特指。还要注意冠词的一些固定搭配和不用冠词的情况。

    What color do you like best? Do you like yellow, orange and red? If you do, you must be an optimist, a leader, or an active person who enjoys life, people and excitement. Do you prefer grey and blue? Then you are probably quiet, shy and you would rather follow than lead. If you love green, you are likely to be strong-minded and determined. You wish to succeed and want other people to see you are successful. At least this is what psychologists （心理学家）tell us. They have been seriously studying the meaning of color preference, and the effects that colors have on human beings. They tell us that we don’t choose our favorite color as we grow up. If you happen to love brown, you do so as soon as you open your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly.

    　　Black is depressing while light and bright colors make people not only happier but more active. A yellow room makes us feel more cheerful and more comfortable than a dark green one does, and a red dress adds warmth and cheer to sad winter days. It is a fact that factory workers work better, harder and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black or dark grey.

    　　Remember, then, that if you feel low, you can always brighten your day or your life with a few colorful things. Also remember that you will know your friends (and your enemies) better when you find out what colors they like and dislike. And don’t forget that anyone can guess a lot about you when you choose a piece of handkerchief.

    67. According to the passage, men’s 110-meter hurdles Olympic champion and world record holder Liu Xiang is most likely to love the color ______.

    　 A. black         B. grey          C. green           D. brown

    68. Why are machines painted orange in some factories, according to the passage?

    　 A. Because workers tend to prefer orange to other colors.

    　 B. Because other colors are forbidden in factories.

    　 C. Because less accidents happen due to the introduction of orange machines.

    D. Because orange machines are easier to clean.

    69. Which of the following statements is Not true according to the passage?

    　 A. It’s possible to cheer you up by enjoying some colorful pictures.

    　 B. You can know your friends better through the color they like or dislike.

    　 C. Some people are born with their colorful preference.

    　 D. One’s color preference is always changeable.

    70. The underlined word ‘depressing’ in Paragraph 2 probably means ‘______’.

    　 A. discouraging           B. happy      

    C. surprising             D. brave

    Green is an important color in nature. It is the color of grass and the leaves on trees. It is the color of most growing plants, too.
    Sometimes, the word green means young, fresh and growing. Sometimes, it describes something that is not yet finished or plants that are not ripe.
    For example, a greenhorn is someone who has no experience, who is new to a situation. In the fifteenth century, a greenhorn was a young cow or ox whose horns had not yet developed. A century or so later, a greenhorn was a soldier who had not yet had any experience in war (战争). By the eighteenth century, a greenhorn had the meaning it has today--a person who is new in a job.
    About one hundred years ago, greenhorn was a popular expression in the American west. Old-timers used it to describe a man who had just arrived from one of the big cities in the east. The greenhorn didn’t have the skills that he would need to live in the hard, rough country.
    Someone who has the ability to grow plants well is said to have a green thumb. The expression comes from the early nineteen hundreds.
    A person with a green thumb seems to have a magic touch that makes plants grow quickly and well. You might say that the woman next door has a green thumb if her garden continues to grow long after your plants have died.
    The Green Revolution (革命) is the name which was given some years ago to the development of new kinds of rice and other grains. The new plants produced much larger crops. The Green Revolution was the result of hard work by agricultural (农业的) scientists who had green thumbs.
    【小题1】According to the passage, a greenhorn means________ now.

    A．a young cow or ox whose horns have not yet developed
    B．a soldier who has not had any experience in war
    C．a person who is new in a job
    D．a man who doesn’t have the skills to live in the country
    【小题2】The meaning of the underlined word “ripe” in the second paragraph is ________.
    A．未完成的B．成熟的C．青涩的D．老练的
    【小题3】Which of the following about the Green Revolution is NOT right?
    A．If there weren’t the Green Revolution, we would have no rice to eat.
    B．The expression “the Green Revolution” appeared several years ago.
    C．Because of the Green Revolution, we have more kinds of rice and other grains.
    D．Agricultural scientists with green thumbs started the Green Revolution.

    A．all growing plants is green
    B．green is the most important color in nature
    C．a person with a green thumb can make plants grow well
    D．the expression “a green thumb” has a history of two hundred years

    Many people take it for granted that black is a color of bad things while white should always mean something good. This may be because, in their opinion, black is related to darkness and white to purity. However, that is not always the case. Did you know that the same colour may mean differently in different places of the world?

    In the English-speaking world, black is the colour of mourning. People wear black clothes at the funeral. Red is concerned with danger or bloodshed (流血). Yellow is the word for fear. If you are afraid, you are yellow. Yet none of these sayings is true outside the English-speaking world. In China and Korea white is the colour of mourning. In Russia, China and some other countries, red stands for beauty, life and excellence. In Italy and Germany, you are yellow with anger, not with fear.

    Even within the English-speaking area it is not difficult to find colour contradictions. A redcap in the United States is a porter in a railway station. In Britain, however, a redcap is a military policeman. Both names are logical because both men wear red caps. Similarly, the British term for an American white collar worker is sometimes called a black-coated worker.

    One does not have to cross an area to find colour differences. Would you rather be red-blooded? If we go back to the origin, we find that both terms are logical as both names suggest. The expression "blueblood" comes from Spain, where some noble families proudly said that they had "blue blood". But then why "blue" blood? Because they were fairskinned, and it is only natural that their blood vessels (血管) stood out appearing blue.

    1.Yellow is concerned with anger in                .             

    A. Russia            B. China                   C. Britain              D. Germany

    2. The two meanings of the term "redcap" form a difference in                .     

    A. pronunciation        B. logical relationship     C.  custom              D. climate

    3. Both Britain and America would probably agree that                .         

    A. a black-coated worker is employed in an office       B. black is the color of mourning

    C. red stands for beauty and excellence                 D. a redcap is a porter in a station

    4.The best title for this passage is               

    A. The Development of the Symbolic use of Colors        B. The Meaning Concerned With Certain Colors 

    C. Colors that Carry Bad Meanings                   D. The Origin of Blue Blood.

    5.When some Spanish called themselves “blueblood”, they actually meant               .

    A. they came from a noble family                        B. their faces looked blue

    C. they had blue blood in their vessels                     D. they were fairskinned
