D
The fact that blind people can see things using other parts of their bodies apart from their eyes may help us to understand our feelings about color. If they can sense color differences, then perhaps we, too, are affected (影響) by color without knowing it. Salesmen have discovered by experience over a long period of time that sugar sells badly in green wrappings (包裝), that blue foods are considered not agreeable to the taste ,and that cosmetics (化妝品) should never be packed in brown. These discoveries have grown into a whole subject of color psychology (心理學(xué)).
Some of our preferences (偏愛) are clearly psychological. Dark blue is the color of the night sky and therefore connected with calm, while yellow is a day color connected with energy and encouragement. Experiments have shown that colors, partly because they are connected with psychology, also have a direct effect on people’s mind. People in bright red surroundings (環(huán)境) show an increase in breathing speed, heartbeat and blood pressure. Red is exciting. Pure blue has exactly the opposite effect; it is a calming color. Being exciting, red was chosen as the signal for danger, but a closer study shows that a bright yellow can produce a more basic state of alarm, so fire engines in some advanced areas are now rushing around in bright yellow colors that stop buses, trucks and cars.
65. The passage tells us that salesmen have _______.
A. found out that colors affect sales
B. discovered the relationship between color and psychology
C. tried colors on blind people
D. developed a special subject of color psychology
66. If people are exposed to (置身于) pure blue, _______.
A. their body pressure rises B. they won’t easily feel nervous
C. they want to taste blue foods D. they will feel like buying things
67. The most effective color in the passage for warning people is _____.
A. red B. bright yellow C. dark blue D. green
68. Which of the following do you think is the best title of the passage?
A. Color and Feelings B. Colors and Sales
C. The Blind and Colors D. Preferences for Colors

To Whom It May Concern:
My husband and I got married in 1965 and for the first ten years of our marriage I was very happy to stay home and raise our three children. Then four years ago, our youngest child went to school and I thought I might go back to work.
My husband was very supportive and helped me to make my decision. He emphasized all of the things I can do around the house, and said he thought I could be a great success in business.
After several weeks of job-hunting I found my present job, which is working for a small public relations firm. At first, my husband was very proud of me and would tell his friends , "My clever little wife can run that company she's working for."
But as his joking remark approached reality, my husband stopped talking to me about my job. I have received several promotions and pay increases, and I am now making more money than he is. I can buy my own clothes and a new car. Because of our combined incomes, my husband and I can do many things that we had always dreamed of doing, but we don't do these things because he is very unhappy.
We fight about little things and my husband is very critical of me in front of our friends. For the first time in our marriage, I think there is a possibility that our marriage may come to an end.
I love my husband very much, and I don't want him to feel inferior(自慚形穢), but I also love my job. I think I can be a good wife and a working woman, but I don't know how. Can you give me some advice? Will I have to choose one or the other or can I keep both my husband and my new career?
Please help. "Distressed"

(共25小題。第一節(jié)每小題2分,第二節(jié)每小題1分;滿分45分)
第一節(jié) 閱讀下列短文,從每題所給的四個選項(A、B、C和D)中,選出最佳選項,并在答題卡上將該項涂黑。
D
When people lose legs after accidents or illnesses, emergency care and artificial limbs(假肢)often allow them to walk again. Newts (蠑螈) in the same situation, on the other hand, can grow limbs back on their own! Scientists have known for a long time that certain animals can re–grow limbs, but they haven’t quite figured out how these creatures do it.
Researchers have now come up with some new ideas. Their work may give people the ability to re – grow lost limbs. The researchers started with two simple experiments:when you cut a newt’s leg at the ankle, only the foot grows back;when you cut off a leg at the very end, the whole leg grows back. In both cases, the re–growth begins with stem cells. Stem cells can develop into nearly any type of cell in the body.
How do a newt’s stem cells know when to grow only a foot and when to re–grow a whole leg?
This question relates to another mystery. In newts, a cut–off leg will grow back only if the nerve bundle(神經(jīng)束)in it also grows back , but if something prevents the nerve bundle from growing, the stem cells at the wound won’t re–grow a new leg.
In its study, a British team focused on a protein called nAG. When the team prevented nerves in a limb from growing, but added the nAG protein to stem cells in the limb, the limb still re–grew. That protein seems to guide limb re–growth. People have proteins that are similar to nAG. Further research into these materials may someday help human limbs recover by themselves.
In the experiments, the researchers cut off a newt’s foot or leg to find out _____.
A. what stem cells were B. whether they would grow back
C. how long it would take to re–grow D. how they would re – grow
A newt will re–grow its leg if _____.
A. its ankle was cut off but the nerve bundle was good
B. its leg was cut off and the nerve bundle stopped growing
C. its leg was cut off and the nerve bundle could grow back
D. its ankle and the nerve bundle were cut off
What do the underlined words “these materials” refer to?
A. Nerve bundles and proteins. B. Proteins similar to nAG.
C. Stem cells and proteins. D. Stem cells and nerve bundles.
The first sentence of the passage _____.
A. acts as a lead–in
B. shows where researchers got their new ideas
C. states the author’s opinion
D. describes the result of researchers’ studies
