Question

There are many colors in nature. But do you know if a color has weight? I think you’ll say “no”. But I am afraid you are wrong. If you don’t believe, you may do a small experiment.
First, put two objects with the same weight into two boxes. Then cover the box. Third, wrap one box with a red piece of paper, the other with a white piece of paper. OK. Now hold the boxes with your hand one by one. It is certain that you will think the red one is a little heavier.
Why do you think so? A scientist found that different colors have different weight in a man’s mind. So he did many tests and at last he got the result. That is to say, every color has its own weight in our mind and their order is the same. The heaviest color is red, then blue, green, orange, yellow and white.
The scientist told us that colors also have smell. Can you smell the color? Of course not. Then why did the scientist say so? That is because every color stands for a kind of light with a certain wavelength. It reaches our brain through sense organs.
According to this discovery, scientists say that people accept the colors they like, and refuse the colors they hate. So your body and mind will be healthy by using the colors you like. Or you’ll be nervous or even get ill. For example, if you stay in a room with red windows, wallpapers and furniture for two hours, you’ll feel you have been there for four hours. But if the room is blue,  you’ll feel you have been there for only an hour. Another example, if a person walks out of a red room and into a blue room, his temperature will fall. That means our body temperature will change with different colors.
小題1:The purpose of the second paragraph is to tell us ___________.

A．a red box is heavier than a white one

B．a color has weight in one’s mind

C．white paper is lighter than red paper

D．you can know the weight of a color by holding it

小題2:Why did the scientist say colors have smell?

A．Because people can sense the light from colors.

B．Because we can smell colors with our nose.

C．Because every color has its own sweet smell.

D．Because every color can give off light of the same length.

小題3:It can be implied from the text that ___________.

A．colors have orders in weight

B．colors can change the weight of an object

C．people would stay longer in a room with red windows

D．colors can affect our mood and health

小題4:This passage is probably a ___________.

A．book review

B．fiction novel

C．fairy tale

D．science report

Answer 1

小題1:B
小題2:A
小題3:D
小題4:D

試題分析：這是一篇科普讀物。顏色真的有輕重、有氣味嗎？科學家解釋說人們感覺顏色有輕重是因為我們的思維定式而已，人們感覺顏色有氣味是因為每種顏色代表一種有特定波長的光而已；但人們可以接受自己喜歡的顏色，充分利用自己喜歡的顏色。
小題1:細節理解題。第二段話介紹你用一個小實驗來感受顏色的重量，但現實生活中顏色是沒有輕重的，只是我們自己的感覺而已；而且在第三段中也說到顏色只是在我們的思維中有了輕重。所以應該選B。
小題2:細節理解題。短文第四段說到：That is because every color stands for a kind of light with a certain wavelength. It reaches our brain through sense organs.那是因為每一種顏色代表一種有一定波長的光，它經過感覺器官到達我們的大腦。所以應選A。
小題3:細節理解題。這個題目可以用排除的方法來做。很顯然A、B是不正確的，從最后一段可以看出人在紅顏色的房間會感覺時間長了，這也是感覺而已。所以A、B、C都要排除，只能選D。
小題4:細節理解題。短文多次提到科學家發現顏色有輕重、顏色有味道，所以這是一篇科普小短文。故選D。
