六、阅读理解。 (每小题3分，共9分)
A new study has shown how the colour of a bowl can influence the taste of the food it holds.
Although it's hard to say what a picky eater(挑食者) is like, the type may include people who have a limited diet, who have strong likes or dislikes for certain food, who require food to be prepared in a special way, who aren't willing to accept new food, or who show signs of all these features.
According to this new study, food was put into two groups in red, blue, or white bowls.While the colour made no difference in taste for non-picky eaters, the picky eaters reported changes in their taste senses based on the colour of the bo wl being used. Snacks in red and blue bowls were thought to have more salt than those in white bowls, while snacks in red bowls were less pleasant than those in the other bowls.
“This knowledge can be useful for those who want to try more kinds of foods,” says Lorenzo Stafford, a psychologist from the University of Portsmouth in the UK. “For example, if you want to encourage a picky eater to try some bitter(苦的) vegetables, you can try to put them on a pink plate or in a yellow bowl, because this can give him or her a sweet feeling.”
At first it may seem strange that a bowl colour can influence the taste of food, but the research before has shown how light and music can influence eating habits. All of our senses' are connected, including taste.
“This new study can help in treating food neophobia— the unwillingness to try new food,”the team of the study says, and further studies will be required to find out more relationships between colours and foods.
“Through further studies, maybe we can decide ways to help actively influence a person's diet, and as a result, their health in mind and body,” says Stafford.
( )1. If you want a picky eater to try some bitter vegetables, you should .
A. give more kinds of foods on the plates
B. try to add some sugar to the vegetables
C. offer them in yellow bowls or on pink plates
D. put them in bowls with less pleasant colours like red
( )2. The new research is helpful to .
A. encourage people to try some sweet food
B. make picky eaters try much healthier food
C. decide ways to make people eat more food
D. treat people's unwillingness to try new food
( )3. Where can we find this passage
A. In a storybook. B. In a history book.
C. In a comic book. D. In a science book.
七、任务型阅读。 (每小题2分,共10分)
People use colour expressions to show their feelings and describe the world. Many colour-related phrases are common in our speech. Let's see where they came from.
·The Blues
The phrase is a short form of “the blue devils”, which also stands for sad feelings. This expression is also used to describe a type of jazz music that became popular in the south of America in the 1940s.
· Black Sheep of the Family
The phrase refers to a member of a family or a group who is unacceptable. In the old days,the black sheep were sold at a lower price than the white ones at the market, because their fleece (羊毛) could not be coloured. This made the black sheep an unwelcome member of the group.
·A Red-letter Day
A Red-letter Day is a day when something really exciting and memorable(难忘的) happens.It came from the practice of marking special Western days, holidays, or other festivals in red on the calendar. Today some calendars still use red numbers for special holidays, even weekends.
·Green with Envy
Writers such as Shakespeare in the 16th century used the colour green to stand for envy, but j t was the Greeks who connected it with sickness caused by envy. When a person was full of envy,his or her body produced too much bile(胆汁), giving his or her skin a greenish colour. That is green with envy.
阅读以上信息，用恰当的单词完成下面的短文，每空一词。

八、 One possible version:
Dear classmates,
I've learnt a lot about colors from the talk I listened to last week. Now let me tell you something about it,
Blue represents calmness. It can make us calm down. Wearing blue brings peace to our mind and body. Yellow is the co lour of the sun and wisdom. We can choose this colour when we hope for success. Green is the colour of nature and represents new life. When we feel tired. green can give us energy. Red is the colour of heat and represents power. We can wear red when we require strength in either body or mind.
I think colors are helpful to us. We can choose different colors when we are in different moods.
