【解析】

试题分析：文章大意：文章讲的是颜色及它们所代表的含义。

1.G 根据下一句Do you prefer grays and blues? Then you are probably quiet, shy, and you would rather follow than lead. You tend to be a pessimist（悲观者）说明喜欢灰色系的人是悲观主义者；那么喜欢这些亮的颜色的人很可能是乐观主义者。故G项符合上下文。

2.A 根据下段内容说明人们对颜色的偏爱是天生的，是生来就有的，后天无法培养出来。故A项解释符合上下文。

3.E 根据下文黄色能让人感觉更兴奋更放松，说明颜色可以影响我们的情绪。故E项符合上下文。

4.F 根据下文的例子泰晤士河上的黑颜色的桥过去常常是人们自杀的地方。说明黑色代表着压抑。故F正确。

5.B 根据下面的例子机器被粉刷成橙色而不是黑色或者灰色，说明淡的颜色会让人感觉更开心更积极。
