（本题10分）Many scientists find that colours can change people’s feelings. It’s very interesting. Some colours can make people feel relaxed，and some colours can make people feel nervous. Now，this kind of knowledge is being used in many places. For example，school walls are always painted green because green makes students feel relaxed. It is also good for the students’ eyes.

Here are some things they’ve learned from scientific studies. The colour red makes people hungry. Many fast food restaurants have red furniture or walls. Soft colours like pink and light blue make people feel relaxed，so they spend more time eating. Loud music may be nice at first，but it soon makes people want to leave. Hard seats also make customers want to eat quickly and leave. Many restaurants，especially fast food restaurants，use this knowledge to make customers eat faster.

四、阅读还原6选5（共10分）

阅读下面短文，从所给选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，使短文通顺，结构完整，其中有一项是多余选项。

In Chinese culture, red is an auspicious as well as a popular color. It stands for luck, happiness, joy and many other good things.    41   Why?

In ancient times, red was the symbol of power. Not everyone could write with red pens—only emperors.    42   The red ink that emperors used was made of cinnabar (朱砂). So their replies were known as zhupi (朱批).

   43    In ancient China, the criminals (罪犯) who were sentenced (判刑) to death signed their names with red pens. The records of criminals’ names were all written in red words. Names on the tombstones were red as well.    44   Since red words carry bad meanings, people don’t write letters with red pens. If you write to friends or family members with red pens, it means you want to break up with them.

   45    Teachers mark students’ homework with red pens. So do editors (编辑) who need to correct mistakes in newspapers and magazines. But writing names or letters with red pens is still a bad idea to many people.

A．Writing with red pens was also related to death.

B．But have you heard that red is also the color of emperors?

C．But writing names and letters with red pens is usually avoided.

D．Therefore, it was thought to be unlucky to write names with red pens.

E．Nowadays, red pens are used for proof-reading (校对).

F．They would reply to officials’ memorials (奏折) with red pens.

五、语法填空（共10分）

用括号中所给单词的正确形式填空,没有动词的直接填词（以虚词为主）使短文内容完整、正确。

There are three primary colours: red, yellow and blue. The three colours can be used     46     (divide) people into different groups.

The group of people who love red are very confident. Being either sales men or athletes is     47     (suit) for them. The members of this group are also energetic and     48     (power). They always believe that everything will go on as they have planned. They spend no time     49  (worry) about mistakes or disasters that might happen.

Yellow is  usually loved     50   cowardly(胆小的) people. They get along easily with others because they are afraid of arguments(争吵). So they hardly get angry with others or have a fight with someone. However, sometimes they are full     51   wisdom, so they can make wise decisions.

Lovers of blue would rather believe in others than trust     52    (them). So this group of people prefer to be followers(追随者) instead     53    leaders. One who loves blue is more quiet or shyer than others. He     54    (touch) by sad movies and memories easily.

Different colours can show different     55    (personality) of people. Maybe you can know what someone is like according to the colour he likes.

七、阅读回答问题（共10分）

Nowadays people are making themselves beautiful in Korean ways.

“Thank goodness you have double eyelids(双眼皮). Your parents will save a lot of money.” said a family friend when I was five years old. Double eyelids, which almost all the white people have, are rare among Northeast Asians. Only 25% of South Koreans are born with double eyelids.

I never quite understood how having double eyelids saved my parents money until this summer. When I came back to Seoul, everywhere I noticed cosmetic surgery clinics(整形诊所) and advertisements with South Korean women—tall, thin, with milky skin, long legs, nice big eyes and perfect noses. I found that South Korean beauty meant looking as “white” as possible.

Cosmetic surgery has a kind of magical attraction to women — the promise of beauty. Women are often sure that suffering is necessary and worthy in order to be beautiful. This suffering is not for nothing. It is believed that beauty leads to attracting a better-looking partner, which then leads to a better-looking child and a better life.

Appearance is starting to be more important in work places. People with good appearance can have more chances. For example, my 29-year-old brother, who is slim and very tall, gets more job chances than his best friend, who is short and heavy, though both of them came from the same college, had the same good marks in their studies. In fact, many South Koreans believe that physical beauty equals happiness.
