A Scientists used to explore the surface of the ocean.Now they are exploring below the surface, too.They want to know about ocean water and the plant and animal life deep in the ocean. In 1934 the scientist William Beebe dived 3,000 feet below the surface in a hollow steel ball.In 1960 his son Jean dived to a depth of 35,800 feet. All these early dives were deep.But the divers could not stay down for very long.They had to come back up to surface after a few seconds.Scientists needed to stay down longer to study life below surface.Gradually they succeeded.Cousteau, a Frenchman, was able to keep men down to a depth of 36 feet for one month and to a depth of 90 feet for a week. Now scientists are developing even better equipment.With this new equipment, men can stay below the surface for days or even weeks.In 1962 Cousteau set up a research station 35 feet below the surface.Then, in 1964, he set up another station on the ocean floor of the Red Sea.This was the first undersea station to operate without help from the surface. Many countries are now studying undersea living.The former Soviet Union has an undersea laboratory in the Crimean Sea.The United States has a laboratory 50 feet down on the ocean floor off the Virgin Island.In 1970 five men lived there for two weeks.Then a team of five women scientists stayed in the laboratory.Next came other teams of men.All were there to explore the ocean depths and to make plans for the use of its resources.Scientists hope to find enough mineral, vegetable, and animal wealth there to provide food for the entire world. 1．In order to________， scientists are exploring below the surface of the ocean.

B Why is pink or purple a color for girls and blue or brown for boys? The answer depends largely on cultural values as well as personal experiences. To the Egyptians, green was a color that represented the hope and joy of spring, while for Muslims, it means heaven. Red is a symbol of good luck in many cultures. In China, children are given money in a red envelope to bring good fortune in the New Year. For many nations, blue is a symbol of protection and religious beliefs. Greek people often wear a blue necklace hoping to protect themselves against evils.

People's choice of colors is also influenced by their bodies' reactions toward them. Green is said to be the most restful color. It has the ability to reduce pain and relax people both mentally and physically. People who work in green environment have been found to have fewer stomach aches. Red can cause a person's blood pressure to rise and increase people's appetites (食欲). Many decorators will include different shades of red in the restaurant. Similarly, many commercial websites will have a red “Buy Now” button because red is a color that easily catches a person's eye. Blue is another calming color. Unlike red, blue can cause people to lose appetite. So if you want to eat less, some suggest that eating from blue plates can help. The next time you are deciding on what to wear or what color to decorate your room, think about the color carefully. 语篇解读：本文从多方面介绍了颜色对人们的影响和作用，希望我们在生活中能利用这种影响，使生活变得更加美好。

5．Muslims regard green as a symbol of heaven mainly because of their ________. A．cultural values B．commercial purposes C．personal experiences D．physical reactions to the color 解析：选A 细节理解题。由文章第二段“The answer depends largely on cultural values as well as personal experiences.”和“...for Muslims, it means heaven.”可知，穆斯林把绿色当作a symbol of heaven更多的是因为cultural values。注意：句中有as well as时更多的是强调as well as前面的内容，因此选择A项。

6．Why will many commercial websites have a red “Buy Now” button?

A．To relax people physically. B．To increase people's appetites. C．To encourage people to make a purchase. D．To cause a person's blood pressure to rise. 解析：选C 推理判断题。根据文章第四段可知，红色能使人血压升高，增强食欲，而商业网站上的红色“Buy Now”按钮的目的根本不是为使人身体得到放松，也不是增强人的食欲和使人血压升高。商业网站的目的就是为了自己的商业利益，因此，按钮的目的是为了让人购买商品，选择C项。

7．Which of the following would be the most proper title for the text? A．Colors and Human Beings

4

B．The Cultural Meaning of Color C．Colors and Personal Experiences D．The Meaning and Function of Color 解析：选D 标题归纳题。通读全文，文章叙述了颜色在cultural values, personal experiences, bodies' reactions等方面的作用和影响，作为文章的题目A项过于宽泛，B项只提及Cultural Meaning，C项只提及Personal Experiences也不够全面。D项涉及颜色的Meaning 和 Function两方面，能概括全文大意，因此选择D项。
