Question

There are many colors in nature. But do you think that a color has weight? I think you'll say 6/no". But I'm afraid you are wrong. If you don't believe it, you may do a small experiment(实验).

First, put two objects with the same weight into two boxes. Then cover the boxes.

Third, wrap(包裹) one box with a red piece of paper, the other one 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 weights in man's mind. That is to say, every color has its own weight in our mind.

The scientist told us that colors also have smell. Can you smell the color? Of course not. Then why did the scientist say S07 That is because every color stands for (代表) a kind of light with a certain wavelength,(波长). 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 (例如) ,  you like blue and hate red.  If you stay in a room with red windows, wallpaper and furniture（家具) 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.  And, if a person walks out of a blue room and into a red room, his temperature will rise.

That means our body temperature will change with different colors.

【解析】

试题分析：你知道颜色是有重量的吗？你知道我们可以感觉到颜色吗？你知道颜色可以影响我们的情绪和健康吗？这些事实可能我们从来都没听说过，但是短文中作者给我们呈现的就是科学家们的报告，还有具体的实验来证明这些。

1.D 细节理解题。根据短文第三段中Why do you think so? A scientist found that different colors have different weights in man's mind. That is to say, every color has its own weight in our mind可知，科学家发现不同的颜色在我们的思想里有不同的重量。故应选D。

2.B 细节理解题。根据短文第四段的内容That is because every color stands for (代表) a kind of light with a certain wavelength,(波长). It reaches our brain through sense organs可知，每种颜色都代表一种波长的光，它能通过感觉器官传播到我们的大脑，因此人们能感觉到颜色。由此可知选B。

3.D推理判断题。根据短文最后一段中For example (例如) , you like blue and hate red …And, if a person walks out of a blue room and into a red room, his temperature will rise.可知，颜色会影响人们的健康。作者举了一个例子，加入你喜欢蓝色，讨厌红色，如果你从一个蓝色的房间，走进一个红色的房间，你的体温就会升高。由此可知D选项是正确的。

4.D推理判断题。根据短文的最后一段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.可知，科学家们发现人们会接受自己喜欢的颜色，拒绝自己讨厌的颜色，因此使用我们喜欢的颜色，我们的身体和大脑就会是健康的。由此可知，颜色能影响我们的情绪和健康。故选D。

5.主旨大意题。这篇短文给我们讲述了一些关于颜色的我们从来都没想过的事实。例如，颜色是有重量的，人们能感觉到颜色，颜色能影响我们的心情和健康等。由此可见，这篇短文应该是一个科学报告，短文中多处出现A scientist found that、The scientist told us that、scientists say that等。故应选C。
