Part I Reading Comprehension (40﹪，35minutes)

Directions: In this part there are four passages. Each passage is followed by a

number of

comprehension questions. Read the passage and answer the questions. Then mark

your answer by

Passage 1

Human feelings are affected by color unconsciously. Manufacturers have

discovered by trial and error that sugar sells badly in green wrappings, that blue foods

are considered by consumers as tasteless, and that cosmetics should never be

packaged in brown. These discoveries have grown into a whole discipline of color

psychology. Some of our preferences are clearly psychological. Dark blue is the color

of the night sky and therefore associated with calm, while yellow is a key color in

association with energy. For primitive men. activity during the day meant bunting and

attacking, in which he soon saw as red, the color of blood and hunting and fire. So it

was natural that green, the complementary color to red, should be associated with

passive defense. Experiments have shown that colors also have a direct psychological

effect. People, when exposed to bright red. show an increase in breathing rate. heart

beat and blood pressure. Red is exciting. Similar exposure to pure blue has exactly the

opposite effect, because it is a calming color. Because red has an implication of

excitement, it is chosen as the signal for danger. Some analyses show that a vivid

yellow can produce a more basic state of alertness and alarm. So fire engines and

ambulances in some advanced countries are now rushing around in bright yellow

colors that stop traffic dead.

Passage 2

Exchange a glance with someone, and then look away. Do you realize that you

have made a statement? Hold the glance for a second longer, and you have made a

different statement. Hold it for three seconds, and the meaning has changed again. For

every social situation, there is permissible time that you can hold a person's gaze

without being intimate, rude, or aggressive. If you are on an elevator, what gaze-time

are you permitted? To answer this question, consider what you typically do. You are

very likely give other passengers a quick glance to size them up(打量) and to assure

them that you mean no threat. Since being close to another person signals the

possibility of interaction, you need to emit a signal telling others you want to be left

alone. So you cut off eye contact, which sociologist Erving Goffman ( 1963 ) calls "a

dimming of the lights". You look down at the floor, at the indicator lights, anywhere

but into another passenger's eyes. Should you break the rule against staring at a

stranger on an elevator, you will make the other person exceedingly uncomfortable,

and you are likely to feel a bit strange yourself.

If you hold eye contact for more than three seconds, what are you telling another

person? Much depends on the person and the situation. For instance, a man and a

woman communicate interest in this manner. They typically gaze at each other for

about three seconds at a time, and then drop their eyes down for three seconds, before

letting their eyes meet again. But if one man gives another man a three-second-plus
